[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] The original musical "Eorimeopsneun Cheongchun" (Unfathomable Youth) will be performed at CJ Azit Daehakro from July 25 to August 9.

"Eorimeopsneun Cheongchun" was selected for the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture's Initial Arts Support Project in 2018 and was performed at Sogang University Mary Hall. After more than a year of development, it was selected in 2020 for the Stage Up Space Support Project by CJ Cultural Foundation, which supports promising works from small creative groups and theater companies to enter the market, and will return to the stage with a new look.

The work tells the story of five youths who dreamed of the unfathomable and their lives as they grow into adults over time. Through these sparkling characters passing through their youth, the musical aims to deliver warm comfort to the audience.

Hyun Seokjun, who has appeared in musicals such as "The Last Statement," "Pirates," and the play "Orphans," plays the role of "Jung Wan," who enjoys photography as a hobby and is loved by everyone for his sincere charm. Kim Jiwoong, who has appeared in the play "Save the Earth," musicals "Shinheung Military Academy," and "Infinite Power," is cast as "Na Jooyoung," who believes star blood flows through his veins and dreams of becoming a world star. Park Sangyoon, who has appeared in plays such as "Jochiwon Haemuni," "Outing," and the musical drama "Illusion on the Cliff," plays "Oh Kangsik," a literary boy who is known as a troublemaker at school but is pure inside. Yoon Seungwoo, who has appeared in numerous musical readings and short films, plays "Cha Wonjae," born with a golden spoon and a model student but living a voluntarily second-place life. Ji Seungtae, who appeared in the play "Youngji," portrays "Kim Minseok," an ordinary student struggling with ambiguous presence and personality.

The musical "Eorimeopsneun Cheongchun," which captures the beginning and end of youth, will conduct crowdfunding in June before ticket sales open. As a reward for crowdfunding, performance tickets will be provided, and tickets will be available for reservation through Interpark Ticket in July.
