On the 13th, an interview commemorating the 30th anniversary of the musical "Empress Myeongseong" was held somewhere in Tongui-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Musical parakeet couple Kim So-hyun and Son Jun-ho were present on the day.
Kim So-hyun worked with Son Joon-ho for the third time in 'Empress Myeongseong'. He appeared separately during the 20th anniversary season because it was burdensome to play opposite roles with my husband. However, since then, there have been many requests from the audience to see the couple together, and we ended up on the stage together."
In particular, Kim So-hyun said she experienced intense emotions while rehearsing with Son Joon-ho. "After I died, I was watching the orchestra rehearsal, and at that moment, it touched me like a reality and I sobbed backstage."The scene where my husband sings with his son was so much like a real family, not an actor," he confessed.
Son Joon-ho also said, `At first, I felt comfortable being on stage with my wife, but in this 30th anniversary performance, I wondered how they would have lived as a real royal couple"I wanted to melt their lives realistically on stage, beyond just historical backgrounds."," he said.
The way they gave and received feedback to each other while acting as a real couple was also different. Kim So-hyun "Even though my husband is 10 years his junior, he coaches me without adding or subtracting my singing and acting. 'Today's acting is contrived?' I hear the same honest feedback, but thanks to that, I can improve even more."
Son Joon-ho is also a couple, so he can recognize the other's condition faster than anyone else. If the opponent is struggling in a live performance, it is advantageous to control breathing and supplement it to create an optimal performance on stage."
It's a couple's performance with many advantages, but there are also disadvantages. Kim So-hyun said, `I'm so used to it that I know the opponent's condition better than anyone else, but on the contrary, the lack of personal time is a disadvantage.' Son Jun-ho also "Since we share everything in the practice room and at home, sometimes it's hard not to lie."," he said with a smile.
However, as actors, their respect for each other was different. Kim So-hyun "Son Jun-ho is an actor who does not shake his condition. Even if you have a sore throat, you can't tell on stage. I envy that kind of mentality." Son Joon-ho also said, `Kim So-hyun is the person who loves a job the most among those who have any job beyond a musical actor.' `I want to resemble that passion.'
Meanwhile, the musical 'Empress Myeongseong', starring Kim So-hyun and Son Joon-ho, is meeting with the audience until the 30th at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Seoul to mark its 30th anniversary. Yang Joon-mo, Park Min-sung, and Baek Hyung-hoon will star in the roles of Kim So-hyun, Shin Young-sook, Cha Ji-yeon, and Gojong.
