Yoo Jeonga and Jung Yeowon participate as Hyeokjin, who always appears in full makeup and attire, dazzling everyone.

Director Park Kyungchan, who also directed the premiere, said, “We are having many discussions with the actors to improve on last year’s shortcomings, and with the passion and energy of the newly joined actors, we will strive to deliver joy and emotion to the many audiences visiting the theater this time as well.”

A production company representative stated, “Since coming to the theater itself requires great courage these days, we will do our best to offer many memories and good experiences to the audience who come to see us.”
