"The leading actors started learning Korean, too."

Writer Park Chun-Hugh made the remarks at a press conference to commemorate the Tony Awards for the musical 'Maybe a Happy Ending' held at the Myeongdong Community House Maral in Seoul on the 24th.

Regarding 'K-musical', Park said that the term 'K-musical' is not yet used worldwide. "It's different from K-pop," he said. "When I go to the theater, the audience says, "This musical is a South Korean musical" and "It's a Korean musical," and I'm proud of it."




He then said "The leading actors also began to study Korean. When I go backstage, did you eat?He began to ask '. As immigrants, my culture has become the culture they study" and "At some point, I think it's a musical that looks more attractive, and I think it's become a musical that I think is more attractive because the word "Korea" goes in."

Meanwhile, the Korean creative musical 'Maybe Happy Ending' won six awards at the 78th Tony Awards held at Radio City Music Hall in New York on the 9th (Korea time), including Best Actor (Darren Chris), Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Music (Composition and Composition), and Stage Design. Created by Park Chun-Hugh and Will Aaronson, 'Maybe a Happy Ending' is a story about Oliver and Claire feeling love for each other, created to help humans in Seoul in the future.
