At a press conference for the play 'Silent Sky' held at the Myeongdong Arts Theater in Jung-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 9th, Ahn Eun-jin expressed his emotion and experience on the stage for the first time in seven years. Director Kim Min-jung, actors Hong Seo-young, Park Ji-ah, Cho Seung-yeon, and Jung-hwan attended the meeting to shine.
The play 'SILENT SKY' is set in the United States in the 19th century and sheds light on the life and achievements of the female astronomer Henrietta Levitt. In an era when women were not even allowed to vote at the time, Henrietta Levitt is a person who silently pioneered her path and explored the universe, and the work depicts the process of making great discoveries despite the social constraints that women had to go through.
Ahn Eun-jin, who plays Henrietta Levitt in the play, confessed, "'My longing for the stage grew as I filmed dramas and movies.'" Director Kim Min-jeong gave me a good script, so I participated with a very happy heart. Every day is precious just because the work I've been waiting for for a year is now meeting with the audience."
He also shared his concerns about returning to the stage. Ahn Eun-jin "On stage, not only facial expressions and words, but also the power of the body is important. While practicing, I thought about whether I could find that sensation quickly.
At the same time, Ahn Eun-jin said he also asked for advice from actor Jeon Mi-do, who had a relationship with 'Wise Doctor Life' when he was deeply worried during the practice process. "I shared my concerns about acting on stage with Mi-do and gave good advice on how to expand my body's expression. As I practice repeatedly, I feel the freedom of the stage again."

Actor Hong Seo-young plays Henrietta's younger brother, Margaret Levitt, delicately portraying the relationship between the sisters. He "Actually, I acted thinking of Eun-jin because she wasn't there. Acting with affection and respect for my sister, I was able to naturally approach Marguerite's feelings."
Director Kim Min-jung made it easier for the audience to understand the rather difficult subject of astronomy while maintaining the beautiful sentences of the original work. In particular, the scenes added to the play serve to further strengthen the meaning of the work," he said, explaining the preparation process for the work. He also emphasized that "all actors and staff worked together to create a moment when the play touched the audience's senses and the story was combined like nuclear fusion.'
Henrietta Levitt's scientific passion and desire for truth in the play resonate beyond the times and today. Ahn Eun-jin "As I played Henrietta, it came to a new point that scientific thinking can comfort me. I hope that many people gain courage and comfort to pursue their dreams through the work."
