JooE, formerly of the group MOMOLAND, has made her debut as a musical actor.

On the 21st, JooE took the stage for her first performance in the musical "Caffeine" at The Good Theater in Seoul, receiving enthusiastic applause from the audience.

"Caffeine" is a two-person musical depicting a pleasant and sweet romance between Se-jin, a morning barista, and Ji-min, an evening sommelier, set against the backdrop of a cafe called "Love is…" where coffee and wine coexist. In the play, JooE plays the role of Se-jin, a bright and confident manager and barista who leaves messages about love every morning.

JooE led the atmosphere of the show with her signature witty expressions and lovable character portrayal. Despite it being a two-person play where only two actors must carry the entire production, she proved her potential as a musical actor by showcasing clear vocals and stable breathing.

After finishing her first performance, JooE shared her thoughts through her agency, saying, "I am so happy to have successfully completed my first performance as Se-jin in the musical 'Caffeine'. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff members and fellow actors who helped me until the show went up."

Debuting as a member of the group MOMOLAND in 2016, JooE made a name for herself with hit songs like "BBoom BBoom" and "BAAM," and has since been loved for her unique bright energy and honesty through various entertainment activities.

The musical "Caffeine," featuring JooE in her musical actor debut, will run at The Good Theater in Seoul until October 25.
