Jung Il-woo’s theatrical debut earns enthusiastic response

Share |


Jung Il-woo’s theater debut project, the play Beautiful Sunday, looks poised for success a week into its run: its first show performed to a full house and Jung has earned praise for his lead role.


The play opened on February 4, and a source with the theater production company said, “This is Jung Il-woo’s first theater role so I can’t say we weren’t nervous, but even we’re surprised that the performances sold out. The first show wasn’t just at full capacity, it sold 107% of the seats.” (A portion of the audience had to sit off to the side to watch.)


Beautiful Sunday is a play by Japanese playwright Nakatani Mayumi, and attracted some buzz prior to its opening because Jung’s character is gay. After showing improved acting and dedication in last year’s drama series Return of Iljimae, this role has Jung “upgrading” his acting one step further as the character of Jun-seok, who is HIV-positive but described as “bright and innocent.” Unlike many screen actors who try stage acting, Jung is not double-cast (meaning that two performers alternate shows, which eases the load on the actors) and will act in all the performances — there are six per week, with two each on Saturdays and Sundays.


Jung said after his first show, “Unlike in dramas or movies, on the stage I can communicate directly with the audience as I act, which is novel and exciting. I’m still lacking in a lot of areas, but I’ll work even harder.”
