[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box] You Already Knew Lee Hyo-je! 'If Wishes Could Kill' Lee Hyo-je

[Kim Ji-yeon's Jewelry Box] You Already Knew Lee Hyo-je! 'If Wishes Could Kill' Lee Hyo-je

The first time I saw Lee Hyo-je, or rather the first time I 'mistook' that I had seen him, was at a small theater. Earlier this year, Lee Hyo-je took the stage as the character Gi Ho-tae in the youth troupe Bu-eong Waltz's play 〈Escape from Reality〉.

Critic Kim Na-hee’s “Vivaldi and Me” ② The Moment When Beings We Had Only Heard Appear

Spring isn’t just the season when flowers bloom. It’s the moment when the beings we could only hear finally begin to be seen.
For a brief moment, we may feel like we understand or truly know the other person—so convinced that we believe it. Communication through music is like that. In the deepest layer of their relationship, we see it in Vivaldi’s confession—when, in the middle of the night, he comes first to Cecilia’s...
