Kim Yoo-jeong "My first play challenge, it's like a dream to me."
On the afternoon of the 7th, a press conference for the play 'Shakespeare in Love' was held at the CJ Towol Theater at the Seoul Arts Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Producer Song Han-sam and actors Jeong Moon-seong, Lee Sang-i, Kim Seong-cheol, Jung So-min, Chae Soo-bin, Kim Yu-jung, Song Young-gyu, and Lim Hyeong-cheol attended the event.
'Shakespeare in Love' is based on the film of the same name released in 1998, and begins with the pleasant imagination that 'Romeo and Juliet' was born out of the love of the great writer William Shakespeare.
Jung So-min, Chae Soo-bin, and Kim Yoo-jung play Viola de Lesseps, Shakespeare's love interest and the daughter of a wealthy merchant, a bold woman who strives to achieve her dream of becoming a theater actress, which was taboo for women at the time.
On this day, Kim Yoo-jung began by saying, "It's my first time performing on stage, so everything is new to me. I had a fun time practicing. It's been about 3 weeks since I went on stage, and I'm having fun with the actors and staff. Please come visit us a lot."
He said, "I had a great desire to do theater. It was like a dream. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to meet the audience on a big stage. That's how much (the stage) was like a dream."
He continued, "The work itself was good enough, both the original work and the adaptation into this play. So, I thought about my appearance as Viola and tried to show a good appearance. I am very proud that there are many audiences who like it. All the actors who work with me are good. “I also received a lot of healing,” he said, expressing his affection.
Meanwhile, 'Shakespeare in Love' will be performed at the Seoul Arts Center's CJ Towol Theater on March 26.
