National Theater Company of Korea Youth Play 'Yeongji' Switched to Online Live Streaming

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The National Theater Company has decided to fully suspend the youth play "Yeongji," currently being performed at the Baek Seong-hee Jang Min-ho Theater, as of the 29th, and convert the remaining four performances to online live streaming.

This measure follows the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters' decision to suspend the use of public multi-use facilities due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The four performances on May 29, June 1, 4, and 5 will be live-streamed online, all starting at 1:30 PM. The live streams will be available for anyone to watch on the National Theater Company's official YouTube channel.

After the performances on June 4 and 5, the "Talk with Artists" session will proceed as scheduled. Originally planned as a combined on- and offline audience event, it will now be held without an audience, with questions and comments collected via YouTube comments to facilitate communication with the artists on site. Ten artists will participate in the talk, including writer Heo Seon-hye, director Kim Mi-ran, and actors Park Se-in, Kim Byeol, Gyeong Ji-eun, Lee Jong-min, Jeon Seon-woo, Ji Seung-tae, Choi Ji-hye, and Ha Jae-seong.

Tickets purchased for the performances after the 29th will be refunded in full sequentially.
