[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The original musical "Baekbeom" will open on the 29th at the National Museum of Korea Theater Yong.


The National Museum Cultural Foundation announced on the 28th that the opening date of the musical "Baekbeom" was confirmed as the 29th, following the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters' policy to reopen national cultural and artistic facilities from the 28th. Baekbeom is scheduled to run for two weeks until the 11th of next month.


Originally, "Baekbeom" was scheduled to be performed from September 10 to October 4. However, due to government quarantine guidelines, the National Museum of Korea temporarily closed from August 15, resulting in the postponement of the opening.


The musical "Baekbeom" focuses on the lesser-known aspects of Baekbeom Kim Gu. Before being a national independence hero, it portrays Baekbeom as a human being, dealing with his inner conflicts, worries, beliefs, and will, depicting his life as he pioneers and grows. Following his tumultuous life journey, various major events from different eras unfold in an omnibus format, allowing the audience to follow Baekbeom's long life of over 70 years from childhood to death and understand his life.


As the musical "Baekbeom" is planned as part of the "Connecting Museum History Series," it faithfully incorporates stories based on historical facts throughout the work. At the same time, modern rap, dynamic performances, and fast-paced storytelling add elements of excitement to the performance.


Additionally, through a unique direction where all 18 actors take turns playing Baekbeom, it conveys the meaning that everyone in this land lives with a heart that loves and cherishes the homeland as much as themselves.
