Kim Yoo Jung said, “First of all, I had a great desire to do a play. Play was like a dream to me, and at the same time, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to meet the audience on such a big stage.”
Kim Yoo Jung added, “I liked the adaptation of the work into a play, so I thought a lot about my appearance as Viola and tried hard to show you a good performance. I’m proud that the audience liked it, and I was healed a lot because all the actors were good. It’s my first time doing a play, so everything is new and enjoyable during the practice period. It’s been about 3 weeks since I’ve been on stage, and I’m having fun with the actors and staff. Please come to see us.”
Jung So Min expressed her gratitude, “Theater stage was a dream for me, too. I’m happy to achieve my long-cherished dream through this work. I’m receiving so much energy from each rehearsal, each performance. I’m having an exciting and enjoyable experience that I haven’t experienced since my debut. I’m getting a lot of help from the actors as well.”
