Park Hyo Shin shared, “I’m so happy to spend this meaningful 10th anniversary with everyone. Ten years have already passed, and I felt a heavy burden on my shoulders as I returned. While I was away, great actors carried this production beautifully, so I was worried, but I’ll show you what I’ve prepared diligently. I hope this will be a sweeter memory for all the actors, staff, and everyone in the audience.”
The musical, based on Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel ‘The Phantom of the Opera,’ is known for its unique fusion of musical theater, opera, and ballet, brought to life by the creative vision and production expertise of EMK Musical Company. It ranked first in ticket sales in 2015 and 2016 and won the grand prize at the 11th Golden Ticket Awards. Now in its fifth season, Phantom continues to mesmerize audiences.
Phantom, starring Park Hyo Shin, will run at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts Grand Theater in Seoul until August 11.
