Park Eun-tae, Jeon Dong-seok, and Kai to Star in the Musical 'The Man in Hanbok' Premiering in December

The original musical 'The Man in Hanbok', based on the life and death mystery of the genius scientist Jang Young-sil from the Joseon Dynasty, will take the stage.

EMK Musical Company announced on the 17th that the tenth original musical 'The Man in Hanbok' will open on December 2 at the main theater of Chungmu Art Center. This work is based on the novel of the same name by Lee Sang-hoon.

The piece features a narrative structure that freely traverses time and space, including Joseon and Renaissance Europe, as it unravels the mystery surrounding Jang Young-sil. A notable feature of this performance, celebrating the 20th anniversary of Chungmu Art Center, is that all actors will play two roles each.

Looking at the main cast, Park Eun-tae, Jeon Dong-seok, and Ko Eun-sung have been cast as the scholar Kang Bae, who is tracking the truth of the memoirs, and Jang Young-sil. Kai, Shin Sung-rok, and Lee Gyu-hyung will take on the roles of the PD Jin-seok and King Sejong, who are pursuing the truth of the memoirs. Additionally, Min Young-ki, Choi Min-cheol, Kim Joo-ho, Kim Dae-ho, Lee Ji-soo, and Choi Ji-hye are also part of the cast.

The creative team includes General Producer Um Hong-hyun, playwright, lyricist, and director Kwon Eun-a, and composer Lee Seong-jun. The performance is scheduled to run until March of next year.
