[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Actor Oh Young-soo, the first Korean to win a supporting actor award at the Golden Globe Awards in the United States, shared his joy with his theater colleagues.

On the 10th (Korean time), Oh Young-soo received the Best Supporting Actor award in the TV drama category at the 79th Golden Globe Awards for the Netflix original series "Squid Game."

On the 12th, a performance official told Asia Economy, "The cast of the play 'Last Session' held a small celebration for Oh Young-soo yesterday (the 11th). Considering the spread of COVID-19, we could not gather extravagantly, but the team shared sincere feelings warmly and modestly." After the performance that day, a standing ovation erupted during the curtain call.

On the same day, Lee Sang-yoon, who shared the stage with Oh Young-soo in 'Last Session' for the first time, posted photos from the event on his social network service (SNS) account to offer congratulations.

Oh Young-soo, who has become a global 'Kkanbu,' is demonstrating ticket power in Daehangno comparable to that of an idol at the age of 78.

A performance official said, "'Last Session' tickets for January are almost sold out, and all tickets for performances featuring Oh Young-soo have been sold. Tickets for February and March are also being booked rapidly, so a sell-out is expected. Currently, the play ranks number one on the ticket reservation site Interpark, attracting attention."

'Last Session' (directed by Oh Kyung-taek) is a two-person play based on the imaginative scenario where Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis meet in person on September 3, 1939, the day Britain declared full-scale war on Germany and entered World War II, engaging in a fierce and witty debate about the existence of God. Oh Young-soo, along with Shin Goo, Lee Sang-yoon, and Jeon Bak-chan, alternate on stage until March 6.

Oh Young-soo said, "This time to focus on the theater stage is precious and happy. I will do my best so that the time of the audience who come to see us is not wasted."
