Introduction 

The euphoric anticipation of love. The classical Korean musical

This musical is an exquisite mixture of the famous stories of Chun Hyang and Shim Chung.

These classical pieces are interpreted in a unique way which will entertain and astonish the audience.

This performance is a savory love song.


The value of love with patience and innocence


How many people understand the clear definition of true love. Especially when we live in a time where disposable love is present. This performance will show Chun Hyang’s love for her blind father as well as her love for Mong Ryong. The performance shows the essence of love, patience and the innocence of young generations who are so used to easy love, intolerant love and forgettable love.


Exquisite combination of Pansori (Korean traditional narrative song) with Rap.


"Tradition has universal value which transcends eras. I hope that audiences can see the true value of traditional Korean music and Pansori which makes us feel deep emotions (Choi Sung Sin)". In this performance modernelements such as rap and western musical songs are blended with traditional Korean music and dance. This combination greatly enhances the traditional songs. Despite people’s stereotypes about the conservative nature of traditional Korean music, it is beautifully blended with western musicals. This performance results in the rejuvenation of Pansori with a simple and pleasant story line which will impress upon the audiences emotions.


There exist many fascinating elements in this musical such as puppetering and the humor of the performers.


The combination of these two elements will heighten the quality of the performance. There are several small characters within the performance which make the tragic love story between the two main characters more dramatic. These characters will invoke bursts of laughter from the audience. These small characters lead the love story with their energetic and dynamic acting. The presence of an actor whoplays multiple roles and the skillful puppetering provide a unique and entertaining dynamic to the performance
