Previously, 「The Great Gatsby」, in which Shin Chun-soo, CEO of the Audi Company, was the sole lead producer, and"Moulin Rouge", in which CJ ENM participated in the production, won the Tony Award, but it is the first time in the 「Maybe Happy Ending」 that a work developed and premiered in Korea swept the Tony Award.

The Tony Award winning title of 『Maybe Happy Ending" invested by NHN Link (CEO Wang Moon-joo) and created by writer Park Cheon-Hyu and composer Will Aronson is all the more meaningful because it has been testing its capabilities by constantly tapping Broadway in New York and West End in London, the home of the musical.

The performance industry is also excited to win the Tony Award for this 'Maybe Happy Ending'. A musical official said, `Now it seems that musicals are in a situation where they can be called 'K-musical' with 'K' in name and reality. It is expected that more domestic creative musicals will be sold overseas in the future.

Recently announced the extension of the performance at the Velasco Theater until January 17 next year, 'Maybe Happy Ending' is preparing to present its 10th anniversary performance with the goal of October this year in Korea.
