Group E'LAST Won Hyuk dominated the stage of "Romeo and Juliet."
Wonhyuk opened his first performance as Mercutio in the musical "Romeo and Juliet" held at KEPCO Art Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the 1st.
Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story between the Montague family Romeo and the Capulet family Juliet, based on a Shakespeare play of the same name. Romeo and Juliet, which premiered in Paris, France in 2001, met the audience with a performance in Korea in 2007.
Mercutio, played by Won Hyuk, is the nephew of the lord of Verona and a close friend of Romeo, a key figure who shakes the vitality and tension of the play at the same time. Based on his unique sensuous character interpretation, Wonhyuk perfectly embodied the free-spirited and witty Mercury.
In particular, for the sake of family and friendship, the drama's immersion has been raised to the highest point with its provocative aspect that does not matter whether it is water or not, as well as the desperateness of dying after a fierce duel. In addition, his mad performance, which marked the beginning of a tragic fate, gave the audience an explosive energy.
Won Hyuk, who successfully finished his first performance, said, "It's a work I've prepared really hard, and I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of things that I haven't shown before. I want to show you how much I've grown as a musical actor as it's my fourth work," he said. "If you pay attention to the details of the number, which incorporates the colorful performance and the emotions of the characters, you will be able to watch it more interestingly," he said.
Meanwhile, "Romeo and Juliet" will be performed at KEPCO Art Center until May 31.
