Musical actor Ok Joo-hyun talked about the controversy over casting the musical Elizabeth.
Ok Joo-hyun invited singer Tay and musical actor Lee Ji-hye to serve a 'Table for Personal Style' on Channel A 'Best Talk Documentary - Four-person Table' which aired on the 8th.
On this day, Park Kyung-rim asked about the controversy over casting the musical 'Elizabeth', which erupted three years ago. When Lee Ji-hye, an agency like Ok Joo-hyun, was double cast as the main character during the 10th anniversary casting of the musical Elizabeth in June 2022, some raised controversy over the casting of her network, saying that Ok Joo-hyun's breath was at work.
Ok Joo-hyun "In the beginning, Ji-hae did not talk to me for each other. Because it's not okay. I know it's not okay, so I told him how I felt at the time.
He told this friend (Lee Ji-hye) that if he learns the works well, he can do everything well someday, as well as 'Elizabeth'Let's run for that because it opens up for a specific work. It was not just 'Elizabeth' that the time to learn such works was 'Elizabeth'. I learned a lot of things from Jihye that I don't have. We just shared each other."
Ok Joo-hyun "I learned it enough and grew up so well. I was unanimously selected as the heroine in the audition. "I thought 'It's going to be okay because we're proud, but things got too big. "
In response, Lee Ji-hye said "My sister is a very strong person in the station, and I have a personal relationship with her and I have received lessons from her."For this reason, she became the main character who did not have to be on the chopping block." He said "I auditioned and the casting was announced. The role felt like a page in my life"At the moment when I should be congratulated, I received only a worrying message."He confessed. Lee Ji-hye said, "When I got a call from my friends, I said, 'I'm okay, so please calm my sister down.'" "We didn't talk about it for a while, but we hugged each other and cried a lot after the performance was over" he said.
