Musical 'Equal' Reflecting COVID-19 Society Live Broadcast at CGV

2PM Jun.K and NU'EST Baekho Appear
Volumetric Technology Showcased for the First Time

CGV announced on the 7th that it will live broadcast the original musical "Equal" three times on the 15th, 16th, and 20th. The work is a reinterpretation of the play of the same name by Japanese writer Sue Mitsu Kenichi and is being premiered domestically. It depicts the process of two friends in the 17th century, a time rife with the Black Death and witch hunts, finding ways to coexist. It is drawing attention by reflecting the current social situation affected by COVID-19. The cast includes 2PM's Jun. K, NU'EST's Baekho, Golden Child's Hong Joochan, Kim Kyungrok, and Jung Jaehwan.

This is CGV's fourth live broadcast of a musical. Starting with "Gwangyeom Sonata" in September 2020, followed by "Song of the Sun" and "Alta Boys," these performances were transmitted on large screens and received great responses. For the first time, volumetric technology will be showcased. This technology captures dynamic movements of characters in a studio equipped with hundreds of cameras exceeding 4K resolution and creates 360-degree videos. A CGV official explained, "It is the technology where member Choi Siwon broke through the screen and filled a 12-meter-high venue during the 2020 Super Junior online concert," adding, "It will be used in some scenes such as the number 'Lie of Lie of Lie' in this performance."

The performances on the 15th and 16th will be live broadcast at 7:30 PM at ten CGV locations including Yongsan I'Park Mall and Yeongdeungpo. The performance on the 20th will be available at 6:30 PM at fifteen locations including Gangnam and Incheon. The running time is 100 minutes, and the ticket price is 44,000 KRW.
