[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The musical "THE FICTION," produced by the performance planning company HJ Culture, is entering the Chinese market.

HJ Culture announced on the 3rd that it has signed a licensing agreement for the musical "THE FICTION" with Shanghai C Musical in China. C Musical plans to stage "THE FICTION" in Shanghai this December. This is the second licensing agreement HJ Culture has made with C Musical, following "Vincent van Gogh." HJ Culture stated, "Based on the successful Chinese performances of the musical Vincent van Gogh, we have continued discussions on works and have reached a final agreement."

"THE FICTION" is a work that makes audiences think about lies and truth, good and evil, fiction and nonfiction, based on the premise that "a murderer from a novel appears in reality!" It is a three-person play featuring Gray Hunt, the author of a serialized novel in which a murderer representing justice appears; White Heisman, the reporter who serialized the novel in a newspaper; and Hugh Ducker, the detective investigating the murders that occur exactly as described in the novel.

"THE FICTION" has been improving its completeness every year since starting with the Korea Creative Content Agency's creation support project "Prepare for Debut" in 2016, being selected as a creation support work at the 2017 Daegu International Musical Festival (DIMF), and the 2018 KT&G Sangsangmadang "Sangsang Stage Challenge." Last year, it accelerated efforts to develop foreign audiences by providing English, Japanese, and Chinese subtitle services as part of the Korea Tourism Organization's subtitle support project.

"THE FICTION" can be seen today (the 3rd) at the Korea Tourism Organization's performance tourism festival "K-Musical On Air." The live performance of "THE FICTION" will be broadcast at 8 p.m. via Naver TV and V LIVE.

To commemorate the online screening, HJ Culture is operating an online points accumulation and MD booth event. After joining HJ Culture's own membership service, "HJ Membership," and verifying online viewing, viewers can receive HJ Membership stamps to commemorate their attendance. Also, at "Munhwa Sanghoe," HJ Culture's musical specialty MD store, the OST and DVD package of the musical "THE FICTION" can be purchased at a discounted price for a limited time. Detailed information can be found on the HJ Membership website.
