Musical Star Ock Joo-hyun to Appear on SBS Variety Show Ahead of 'Anna Karenina' Premiere
Ock Joo-hyun will join as a guest on the episode airing on the 16th. With the musical 'Anna Karenina' opening on the 20th, her appearance on the show is expected to heighten public interest and anticipation for the production. 'A-ni Geun-de Jinjja!' is a real character talk show where the four MCs—Tak Jae-hoon, Lee Sang-min, Lee Soo-ji, and Kai—transform into different characters in a new universe each episode to engage in lively discussions.
During the broadcast, Ock Joo-hyun is anticipated to showcase a charming and humorous side, contrasting with the commanding charisma she displays on stage. Her interactions with the MCs promise to be unpredictable and entertaining, revealing her deep affection and passion for the musical.
In the production, Ock Joo-hyun plays the titular role of Anna Karenina, a noblewoman whose life oscillates between love and tragedy. Having received acclaim as 'Anna herself' during the premiere, she is expected to captivate audiences once again with her irreplaceable vocal prowess and deepened emotional portrayal.
Previously, Ock Joo-hyun was embroiled in a 'casting monopoly controversy' on the 28th of last month. The issue arose due to her having a significantly higher number of performances in 'Anna Karenina.' The production company explained, "The schedule was difficult to finalize due to various factors, including negotiations with the licensor, a reduction in total performance numbers, and the actors' schedules."
