Kyung Soo-jin to Make Theater Debut in Director Jang Jin's Play 'The Secret of Flowers'

Actor Kyung Soo-jin is taking on her first-ever theatrical stage challenge through director Jang Jin's representative comedy play, "The Secret of Flowers."

The play "The Secret of Flowers" (written and directed by Jang Jin) is set in Villa Perosa, a small rural village in northwestern Italy. It is an absurd and comical commotion depicting four housewives who must disguise themselves as their husbands for a day, taking the place of their spouses who mysteriously vanished in an accident overnight right before an insurance claim screening. In particular, this new season is drawing keen attention from the theater world by introducing a groundbreaking "gender-free" casting approach that blurs gender boundaries within the play.

Kyung Soo-jin has been cast as Monica. Monica is a romantic who once dreamed of becoming an actor, as well as a charming character who is honest about love. She plans to portray the character with her signature delicate expressive power and fresh charm, radiating a new presence on stage.

Ahead of her first stage appearance, Kyung Soo-jin shared her aspirations, saying, "I have always yearned for the theater stage where I can breathe with the audience in real time. I am very excited and nervous to take my first step with 'Monica,' a charming character in a work by director Jang Jin whom I have always respected. I want to learn and grow a lot alongside the wonderful production team and senior actors, showing a step further in my growth as an actor."

"The Secret of Flowers" will be performed from September 12 to November 29 at the Bugs Hall of Link Art Center in Seoul, and first-round ticket reservations will open at 11:00 AM on Friday, August 7.
