Byul: “I came back after 14 years just because of the taste”

Singer Kim Go-eun (Star) expressed her feelings about returning to the stage after 14 years with the musical ‘My Mother’s Mom.’

On the 4th, a press call for the musical ‘My Mom’ was held at the Daesung D-Cube Art Center in Guro-gu, Seoul. In attendance were writer Ko Hye-jeong, director Kim Jae-seong, music director Heo Soo-hyun, choreography director Kim Soo-han, and actors Kim Soo-mi, Jeong Kyeong-sun, Kim Seo-ra, Kim Go-eun (star), Hyun Juni, Shin Seo-ok, Kim Hyeong-jun, and Kim Do-hyun.

'My Mother's Mother' is a work about a mother who loves her daughter more than anyone else and a daughter who is not good at expressing her love because she does not understand her mother. The daily life of a mother and daughter is described in a realistic yet detailed manner, reminding us once again of a mother's love, which is easy to forget.

Kim Go-eun (Star) plays the role of daughter Mi-young in the play. Miyoung is a daughter who loves her mother, but is not good at expressing it, and begins to understand her mother's unconditional love after giving birth to her daughter Yubin. In particular, Kim Go-eun returned to the stage for the first time in 14 years since the 2009 musicals ‘Gambler’ and ‘The Handmaiden and the Gangsters’.

On this day, Kim Go-eun (Star) began by saying, "As Soo-mi said, I have been working as a singer for 21 years. I am currently a rookie as a musical actor. I am the youngest and a newcomer. I did it with the mindset of an actor."

He laughed, saying, "In the case of the musical I performed 14 years ago, there was only dancing and no dialogue, so I only got a taste of it. I am having a valuable experience working with great seniors in a proper production."

Meanwhile, the musical ‘My Mom’ will be performed at Daesung D-Cube Arts Center until June 4th.
