“It clearly depicts the ‘human nature’ contained in human life!”
Joo Ho-seong returns to the stage with the two-person play 'Suddenly One Day'.
The play 'Suddenly One Day' is a hyper-realistic horror play hidden in a non-realistic reality in which a playwright and actor and a beautiful female professor who coincidentally meet in the seats next to each other on the KTX begin with a casual conversation and then engage in a fierce literary debate.
An old actor who is obsessed with expressionist literature and plays has a difference of opinion with a female professor who is interested in realistic literature based on reality, and a conflict arises, and the two meet an irreversible ending on a train engulfed in fear.
In particular, ‘One Day Suddenly’ asks, “Is something going to happen?” Could there be an accident? Could it be dangerous? Won't it fail? Won’t I become unhappy?” It clearly depicts modern people being chased and afraid of something in their daily lives, ‘human nature’. The story of all of us who live rough and dangerous lives like a speeding train is expressed through the crisis of conflict between two people who meet by chance, providing unique laughter and fear.
Regarding his appearance in 'Suddenly One Day', Ho-seong Joo said, "It is a special feeling to return to the stage with a new 'two-person play' after a long time. ''Suddenly One Day' is a story about anxiety and fear that can occur in everyday life. “I think many people will be able to empathize with it as it is very close to the lives of the audience,” he said.
Rawon Culture said, “Joo Ho-seong will present a completely different acting transformation through the two-person play ‘One Day Suddenly’ with actors Jeong Jae-yeon and Shim Mari.” They added, “It is a passionate performance that fully reflects the experience of Joo Ho-seong, an actor with 55 years of experience. “I am confident that it will deliver laughter and fear to the audience that they have never felt before.”
Since his debut in 1969, Joo Ho-seong has been active in various fields, including voice acting, theater directing, film production, and film directing.
