E.L. was cast in the play 「The Secret of Flowers」, which is scheduled to open on February 8 next year.
After dominating the stage in 2018 with Konstanze Weber in the play 'Adeus', he took the stage for the first time in seven years after showing his charismatic acting skills.
The play 'The Secret of Flowers' is set in Villaperosa, a small town in northwestern Italy, and tells the story of patriarchal husbands who were into soccer and neglected to do housework, disappear in an accident overnight. A comedy that cheerfully unravels the absurd ruckus of having to cheat everyone for a day to get insurance money. The unusual operation of the main characters goes beyond simple laughter and rejects the traditional role expected of women in a patriarchal society, heralding a new rebellion. It is a work that brings out empathy and emotion while providing constant laughter through the commotion of ordinary daily life.
E.L. will play Jasmine, a drunkard who loves alcohol in the play, and will give a big laugh by deliciously digesting slick humor and high-level jokes. Expectations are high on how Lee El, who exudes a unique presence with his own personality and charm in each of his works, will once again capture the hearts of the audience.
EL, who showed her new appearance with her naked face and rough behavior as a meticulous and persistent violent crime detective in the movie 「She died」 released in May, will also appear in tvN's new Saturday drama 「Ask the Stars」, which is scheduled to premiere on January 4th next year.
The drama 「Ask the Stars」 depicts the life of a boss Eve (Kong Hyo-jin) working on a zero-gravity space station and an uninvited dinosaur (Lee Min-ho) with a secret mission. In the drama, which is drawing a lot of attention as a space office behind the first space station in Korea, EL will give off his unrivaled charm as a river chief who manages and directs the MCC ground control line connecting space and Earth.
Meanwhile, EL's play 「The Secret of Flowers」 will be performed at the Link Art Center Bucks Hall from February 8 to May 11 next year.
