'Ogeoljjak' is a program first introduced by the National Jeongdong Theater in 2021, featuring talk concerts where audiences can hear the musical stories behind works directly from the composers. For the third series, Kim Eun-young and Damiro, representatives of the domestic musical scene, will participate. They will perform on August 11-12 and 18-19, respectively.

Kim Eun-young gained recognition as the composer and music director of the original musical 'Sa-ui Chanmi' (The Hymn of Death). She has contributed as a composer, lyricist, music director, and director to hit productions such as 'Sejong 1446,' 'Nanse,' 'Western Story,' 'Parinelli,' 'Rahhest,' and 'Moon Story.'

Damiro has been active as a composer, lyricist, and music director, creating beloved works among Daehangno enthusiasts such as 'Arto, Gogh,' 'Gwangyeom Sonata,' 'Demian,' and 'Eugene and Eugene.' He is also the CEO and chief artistic director of the production company Romantic Barricade.

The performances on August 11-12 will feature numbers from the musical 'Sa-ui Chanmi' arranged in Kim Eun-young’s unique style, along with stories about the composition process and thematic analysis of her major works. Special guests who share a special connection with composer Kim Eun-young will also appear to create a memorable stage.

On August 18-19, Damiro’s stage will follow. Fellow musicians and musical actor guests who have accompanied his musical journey will join to perform representative numbers from his major works, as well as spontaneously compose songs based on audience stories.

Jung Sung-sook, director of the National Jeongdong Theater, said, "'Ogeoljjak' is a precious opportunity to listen closely to the voices of composers who have communicated solely through music. We look forward to a unique encounter filled with the music and fascinating stories of the two protagonists, Kim Eun-young and Damiro."

Tickets will be available for reservation starting on the 19th through the National Jeongdong Theater website and Interpark. All seats are priced at 50,000 KRW.
