Celebrity Power Couple Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra to Share Stage for the First Time in 33 Years in Play "Love Letter"

Well-known entertainment industry power couple Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra have been cast in the play "Love Letter" (produced by Soo Company).

According to Soo Company on October 1, the real-life couple of 33 years of marriage will act together on the same stage for the first time since their debut.

The play "Love Letter" is a production that invites reflection on the meaning of life, love, and relationships, accompanied by sensibilities fitting for the year-end season. Returning for this season two years after its 2024 run, director Oh Ru-pina and composer Lee Bum-jae have newly joined to reinterpret the work.

Based on the original work "Love Letter" by American playwright A.R. Gurney, the play portrays the lives, love, missed connections, and ties of two characters, Andy, a model student, and Melissa, a free spirit, through letters exchanged over 50 years from childhood to old age.

Choi Soo-jong will take on the role of Andy, a model student who has faithfully lived the life desired by his parents. Following his return to the stage after about nine years in the play "Oedipus," Choi chose "Love Letter" as his next project. He previously shared that he attended every single performance of "Love Letter" starring Ha Hee-ra. Ha Hee-ra will play the role of Melissa, a free spirit who grew up in an affluent environment but suffered from a lack of parental love. This marks her third time playing the role, following performances in 2022 and 2024.

Production company Soo Company stated, "If you want to gift a special time to your beloved parents and family this year-end, the play 'Love Letter' will be a great choice," adding, "As this is our third presentation of the production, we will welcome audiences with an even higher-quality stage."

Meanwhile, Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra built a connection after working together in the 1990 film "You Know, It's a Secret" and later became a couple. They have one son and one daughter.

The play "Love Letter" will be performed from November 5 to December 27 at the KT&G Sangsangmadang Daechi Art Hall, and tickets will open on October 8 via NOL.
