Recently, actor Cha Ji-yeon's performance of the musical 『Gwanghwamun Sonata』 was stopped due to hyperventilation symptoms during the performance. On the 22nd, CJ ENM, the producer of the musical 『Gwanghwamun Sonata』, suspended the performance due to actor Cha Ji-yeon's temporary hyperventilation symptoms during the first act performance through its official account" he said. He was scheduled to play the role of Wolha in 'Gwanghwamun Sonata', which will be performed at 2 p.m. at the Link Art Center in D-Cube, Seoul.
The production company said, "Cha Ji-yeon was immediately taken to the hospital for diagnosis and necessary examination by a specialist, and is currently recovering in a stable manner." "The actor himself is sorry for causing concern to the audience and expressed his intention to recover quickly and return to the stage."," he said.
The production company then told the concert's reservationists that "we will refund 110% of the ticket payment amount" and added that "we deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused by the suspension of the performance.'"
Earlier, actor Choi Jae-rim was also unable to perform on the stage of Act 2 due to poor voice condition during the musical 'Cyrano' performance on the 20th. Choi Jae-rim's agency, Fokix Entertainment, bowed to the audience who visited the concert hall on the 20th and expressed their deep apologies to the audience who had been waiting for the scheduled performance," he said.
In addition, "Choi Jae-rim is currently recovering quickly and is preparing to return to the stage of the musical 'cyrano' on the 25th based on expert opinions."I'll do my best to show you a good performance without forgetting my heavy heart."," he added.
The problem is that they appeared in several works at once, affecting other works as well. Cha Ji-yeon was also cast in the Busan performance of the musical 'Empress Myeongseong', but eventually changed to Kim So-hyun. Choi Jae-rim also failed to perform in musicals 'Kinky Boots' and 'Chicago'. Also, the Christmas concert scheduled for the 24th changed the cast. Therefore, there are growing voices in the musical industry that the phenomenon of concentration of popular actors' works is a problem.
First of all, it is about the health of actors. It is a structure in which fatigue is inevitably accumulated due to overlapping appearances. Due to the nature of the musical, actors have to pour everything into it in a short time. When overlapping appearances are accompanied, the actors' 's soul must be extracted.'"
The quality of the performance also naturally follows. Choi Jae-rim showed poor condition from the first act at the performance on the 20th and eventually stopped performing in the second act. Of course, the health of the actor is the most important, but the audience who came to see the performance also suffered. They say they will refund 110 percent of the ticket price, but efforts and expectations to find the venue cannot be compensated.
However, the industry is still eager to cast actors who are guaranteed to be successful. Double and triple casts are prevalent, so it's possible to appear on the same show Actors also have no reason not to appear in overlapping roles as long as they meet their schedules. There are many voices that the system should be created as soon as possible to ensure the health of the actors and to maintain the performance's credentials for the audience.
