Park Eun-seok "I, who am struggling, am following the same role as Yoo In-chon."

Actor Park Eun-seok revealed that he follows Yoo In-chon in the play 'Faust' rather than being in sync with him.

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.

Park Eun-seok plays the role of young Faust. Faust, who becomes young after drinking a witch's potion, falls for Mephisto's schemes and becomes obsessed with worldly desires and pleasures.

On this day, Park Eun-seok said, "I am also learning a lot through this work. I am receiving a lot of inspiration from senior Yoo In-chon. (Yoo In-chon) The teacher is leading the first act, and since it is impossible for everyone to lose their noses in the second act, I try as well. But “The teacher makes a lot of attempts. I try to follow along,” he said.

He said, "I'm struggling with the text, too, but I think the more I worry about it, the more I think a deeper interpretation or acting will come out. I'll struggle until the last day." He added, "Right now, the fun is seeing all the team members come together and support everything. A lot." He expressed his ambition by saying, “I am doing my best not to harm the work.”

Park Eun-seok said, "There is a young Faust and an old Faust, but rather than being synchronized, the character called Faust in the work is a person who wants heavenly knowledge, etc., but also seeks earthly pleasure. He plays a person who wants to gain earthly pleasure. “There are difficulties. That’s why I’m receiving a lot of help,” he said.

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