Musical 'Namyeong, Junhee' is set in Japanese colonial era, a time of loss, where even writing is a luxury. It tells the story of Jun-hee and Jung-woo wandering in search of their respective existence and discovering their voices as poets and reaching out to others in an era where they can't have themselves or use the Joseon language under Chang's name. The story unfolds when Jungwoo, the youngest poet in Gyeongseong, comes to Jun-hee, who works at a Jongno snack shop during the day and makes money by working in translation at night to take his younger brother Yeon-hee from the nursery and live with me. Jun-hee, who felt like everything else other than protecting her younger brother, wakes up with a small hope that she had buried deep in her heart through a meeting with Jung-woo and becomes increasingly fascinated by the world of poetry. The story of Jung-woo, who wants to bring Jun-hee, who is likely to move forward together in the world where he recognized his poems and was struggling alone, into his world, and Jun-hee, who can no longer watch the world that Jung-woo was trying to protect in a turbulent world, makes us look back on the present, where we have lost our dreams in a world that is depleted of poetic sensitivity.
The production company's library company 'Young people who want to keep their precious things in that era and present are beautiful and sad. It is hoped that the main characters of the musical 'Unmyeong, Junhee' will be able to reach out to their contemporaries living with loss by struggling to protect our lives in the turbulent times. We will do our best to present good works to the audience living in the world that Jun-hee and Jung-woo wanted to recover. Please look forward to it,' he said, revealing the cast to be with him on the first journey of the musical 'Unmyeong, Junhee'.
Park Sun-young, Hong Sung-won, and Kang Byung-hoon were named in the role of 'Lee Jun-hee', who gave up his studies and entered the livelihood to protect his younger brother. After the death of her parents, who were imprisoned due to Japanese oppression, Jun-hee focuses on protecting her only younger brother. Through Jung-woo's poem, which he met while helping with translation with excellent language skills, things that he had buried deep in his heart begin to shake. Jun-hee, who cannot let the world that Jung-woo was trying to protect collapse, tries to protect the world in a different way than Jung-woo.
Im Jin-seop, Park Sang-joon, and Lee Seok-jun will play the role of Gyeongseong's youngest poet 'Choi Jung-woo', who has a strong artistic aspect and has an exceptional sense. Jung-woo's speciality made him famous and weak. He strives to bring Jun-hee into the world of poetry as a person who struggles not to take away all his beloved lovers, families, and countries, and to avoid taking away any more poems written in the last Korean language.
Choi Eun-young and Lim Ha-yoon were cast as Jung-woo's only younger sister, waiting for her to live with her brother in the nursery. Yeonhee, who has been growing up in the nursery since she was an unremembered young age, is reading and speaking Korean words to the nursery children, although she is not sure what she wants to learn or what she wants to be. One day, a teacher who forbids the use of Korean language and punishes it is making me nervous.
'Unmyeong, Junhee' will be performed at Link Art Center Dream Hall 2 from Jan. 24 to Apr. 6 next year, and the first ticket will be opened on Dec. 27.
