In 1920, a play depicting the love, freedom, and desire for art of young people who lived in turbulent times was recreated with today's perspective by adding new characters such as Na Hye-seok and Yoshida based on Yoon Dae-sung's play of the same name.
In May 1990, Yoon Dae-sung's 『Hymn of the History』 premiered as a 30th anniversary of the founding of the theater company Experimental Theater, which was deeply moved by Yun Ho-jin's directing and Yoon Seok-hwa, Song Young-chang, and Song Seung-hwan's enthusiastic performance. This work was newly created by adding a modern sense and emotion to the dense narrative of the original.
In particular, by adding a character named Na Hye-seok in the existing performance, the meeting and friendship between two new women, Yoon Shim-deok and Na Hye-seok, will be held on stage beyond the love of Yoon Shim-deok and Kim Woo-jin.
This performance will feature a large number of talented actors who have performed delicate performances across media and stages.

Drama 'I'm sorry again today', Jeon So-min, who has shown a wide spectrum of acting through the films only God Knows Everything', and '18 Youth', will challenge her first stage acting through this play.
Calligraphy, which has been praised for its delicate and lively performances in the plays 'The Sea Village Diary', 'Me and Grandpa', the movies 'Tangerine Kyu-le', the dramas 'Motel California','The End of the Terminus', 'Into Your Time', 'Vincenzo', 'Convenience Store Saetbyul', etc., will convincingly portray the complex inner side of Yun Shim-deok.
The role of Kim Woo-jin, a playwright who agonizes between the ideal and reality, is played by Lee Choong-ju and Yoon Si-yoon. Lee Choong-ju, who showed outstanding emotional immersion and charisma in musicals 'Once', 'Moulin Rouge', 'Something Rotten', 'The Last Five Years', and the play 'Hamlet', will complete the three-dimensional character by expressing Kim Woo-jin's inner self with deep emotional lines. Yoon Si-yoon, who perfectly digested characters of various personalities in dramas 'present is beautiful', 'train', 'psychopathic diary', 'Dear Judge', will also take his first step on the stage through this play 'Praise of History'.
Park Yoon-hee and Kim Tae-hyang were named as Yoshida, a complex figure of intellectual cynicism and humor, and Yang Ji-won and Lee Ye-won were named as Na Hye-seok, Joseon's first female Western painter and symbol of female liberation who longed for art, freedom and love. Lee Si-gang and Do Ji-han star in the role of Hong Nan-pa, which represents the artist's solitude and contradiction of the times.
Park Su-ya will play the role of Kim Woo-jin's wife and woman Choi Jeong-hyo, who has the pain of early marriage, alone, leaving a short but intense impression.
