Park Hae-soo "I desperately wanted it and exercised human desire."

Actor Park Hae-soo mentioned Yu In-chon, his co-star in the play 'Faust'.

On the afternoon of the 21st, a practice room for the play 'Faust' was unveiled and a press conference was held at LG Arts Center Seoul in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. Actors Yoo In-chon, Park Hae-soo, Park Eun-seok, Won Jin-ah, and director Yang Jeong-woong attended the event. Prior to the meeting, the actors demonstrated scenes from the play, including 'Heavenly Overture', 'Faust's Study 2', 'The Garden', and 'The Witch's Kitchen'.

'Faust' is a reinterpretation of the play completed over 60 years by the great German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Through Faust's imperfect actions and choices, direction and inspiration for an imperfect life are presented.

In the play, Park Hae-soo plays Mephisto. Mephisto is a character who brings pleasure to Faust and will do anything to bring about his destruction and corruption.

On this day, Park Hae-soo said, "When the teacher (Yoo In-chon) comes to the practice room, he says 'let's run' rather than saying anything else. He opens the door by talking around and talking. Now I think that's what he said. Among many things, the one the teacher said was 'Faust.' 'There are two parts, so he talked a lot about his sympathy for 'Faust'. He really ran tirelessly next to me." Yoo In-chon responded, “I receive energy and share the energy I have.”

Park Hae-soo said, "It had a lot of weight, and the training process had to be done for a long time. Although it was an original cast, I think human desire was demonstrated. I really wanted the role of Mephisto. It was an original casting, and it was a chance to meet the teacher and work together on stage. “The opportunity has come,” he explained the reason for his choice.

Meanwhile, 'Faust' opens at LG Arts Center Seoul on the 31st.
