YK Media Plus, which announced the news of Song Chang-eui's contract renewal on the 18th, said, "We are happy to continue our relationship with actor Song Chang-eui, who has stable acting skills, charisma, and gentle charm. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Song Chang-eui for trusting and sharing my thoughts. “We will be a strong supporter so that Song Chang-eui can continue to be active in various fields,” he promised.
Song Chang-eui debuted with the musical 'Blue Saigon' in 2002, and has established a solid field of his own with deep inner acting and realistic and detailed expressiveness in each work, going back and forth between the cathode ray tube, screen, and musical stage. He has interacted with the public through his persuasive performance in major works such as the dramas 'Hide and Seek', 'My Man's Secret', 'Doctor Frost', 'Syndrome', 'The Great Feng Shui', and 'The Scales of God'. He is also active in the musical world with his extensive experience, demonstrating stable singing skills in box office hits such as 'Rebecca', 'Mata Hari', 'Hedwig', 'Elizabeth', 'Gwanghwamun Sonata', 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', and 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. He also received rave reviews for his outstanding acting.
In addition, he is about to release the black comedy film 'Forbidden Song', which reexamines famous songs that were banned in the 1970s and 1980s, and was recently cast in the film 'Ant Catcher', and is expected to show strong action in the second half of the year. 'Ant Catcher' is a work based on the webtoon written by Lee Ik-soo, and is a revenge/thriller drama about kidnapping those who have caused unforgettable harm in the past and trying to receive an apology from them. Although the plan goes awry due to a mistake, the seriousness of the character 'Wooyoung', who somehow tries to complete his revenge, is expected to be portrayed sincerely through captivating acting.
Through his agency YK Media Plus, Song Chang-eui said, “I decided to continue working with YK Media Plus, with which we have had good chemistry based on deep trust. As I have done up until now, I will do my best in my role as an actor and do my best. “I will continue to become an actor who can reach you through good works and roles,” he said, expressing his thoughts about renewing his contract with YK Media Plus.
With such a long history, Song Chang-eui has clearly demonstrated his ability as a multiplayer that crosses genre boundaries. This raises the public's curiosity as to what greater synergy will be shown through the renewal of the contract with YK Media Plus.
