Actor Baek Sung-hyun expressed his heavy responsibility and regret as a leading actor for the sudden suspension of the musical "Eyes of Dawn." Although he was also a victim who did not receive the performance fee, he was first concerned about his feelings of not being able to keep the stage and the treatment of his colleagues.

Recently, Baek Sung-hyun was interviewed at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and talked deeply about the musical Dawn's Eyes.

Dawn's Eye is based on MBC's 30th anniversary special drama, Dawn's Eye, which aired from 1991 to February 1992.

However, it has recently been crippled. The extended performance was scheduled to continue from the 24th of last month, but the concert scheduled at the Dawn of Converse Stage Arena in Dongjak-gu, Seoul on the 8th was suddenly canceled, sparking controversy. Since then, the performances on the 20th and 21st have been canceled in succession, and eventually have been crippled.

Baek Sung-hyun, "The Dawn Musical," joined the lead role from this extended performance. However, due to the disruptions, it was impossible to meet the audience after only two performances. In response, Baek Sung-hyun said, "It's unfortunate. I personally prepared hard, and I thought the performance itself was a great performance, he said. "I practiced really hard." It's been a long time since I went on stage, so I wanted to show you a good performance. But I'm sad and upset that I can't show you more after only two performances."

In particular, this performance was suggested by Baek Sung-hyun, and a free invitation event was scheduled for more than 1,000 people, including current and former firefighters, maritime police, and disabled families, adding to the regret. Regarding the audience, who had to turn their steps due to the sudden cancellation on the day of the performance, he said, "We invited the Fire Department, the Korea Coast Guard, and the disabled. He came to see me in a good way, but I ended up going back (without seeing the performance). I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize," he said.

As for the reason why he planned the invitation event himself, he explained, "I thought I should do my best to perform well as a leading actor." He then said, "I was invited because I talked well with the production companies with the intention of 'would you like to see it', but I couldn't perform on the first day of your invitation. "I was a little embarrassed personally," he said. "The maritime police officer was also a public relations ambassador, so I did it with a good heart, but that's what happened."

He said, "Would you have imagined that the performance would end in two episodes?" and added, "I was really embarrassed, and I was going to invite a lot of people, but that's what happened."

Baek Sung-hyun, who joined from the extended performance, said he was not aware of the conflict or internal circumstances between the actors and staff and the production company. "I joined late, so I didn't know much about the whole process," he said. "I didn't know there would be such a conflict," he explained.

Baek Sung-hyun, who did not anticipate the disruptions, did his best for the work as usual. Baek Sung-hyun said, "I practiced really hard, too. "I changed myself," he said. "In the process of preparing for the performance, I kept monitoring and following the shadows and practicing. I was familiar with the movement by rolling in the theater every day while taking vocal lessons," he explained.

He also sympathized with the story in his work. Baek Sung-hyun said, "It's so sad every time I watch a performance. I thought I would be able to show this performance to many people, he said. "I love the role of the maximum I played, but there was a situation and pain in the times when I had to say goodbye. It was a good fit with my emotion line," he said.

However, in the end, these exercises came to nothing. Baek Sung-hyun, who only made it to the stage twice, was worried about his colleagues who might be having a harder time than him. He said, "I feel sorry for the younger brothers I did with. Every day, I acted my heart out. I hope I get a good reward for my work, but it's a pity."

"Even though I've been acting for a long time, there's nothing I can do for you, so that was the hardest thing. I feel most sorry for my younger brothers," he said.

At the same time, Baek Sung-hyun showed a neutral and cautious attitude, saying, "What is certain is that I am speaking for the production company and for the actors' positions are crossing the line."

In a statement on the 24th, 63 actors and staff members of "Yeoreum's Eye" urged the production company to pay unpaid wages, claiming, "At the time of the premiere and reenactment (2019, 2020), producer A's production company, Suki Company, had already caused an attempted wage for actors and staff, and even though the trial took place, actors and staff were not paid unpaid wages."

Accordingly, the production company of Dawn's Eye said, "NextSketch is irrelevant to producer A, and only a few (about six) actors participated in the premiere and re-enactment," adding, "It is not related to the staff and actors of the current musical's unpaid case." Please stop the honorable murder," he countered.

Baek Sung-hyun also confessed that his performance fee has not been settled. He said, "I'm also unpaid. I have to get paid, but I'm not thinking that much," he said calmly.

In fact, it was difficult for him to understand this internal situation in depth due to the short period of joining. "I didn't even have time to get close to the actors. I met him on the 4th," he said, adding, "I haven't even seen the production company CEO once. It was all I saw while passing by. He explained, "I just gave a nod and passed by."

Although the performance stopped, the memory on stage was not left with regret. "My acquaintances and family saw me and evaluated the actors as great and that the performance was so good," he said. "I'm sorry I couldn't show you more, but I don't feel like 'why did I do this?'" he affirmed.

Baek Sung-hyun is considering follow-up measures for the guests who were hurt by the cancellation of the performance. "I want to repay the maritime police, the fire department, and the disabled (who invited me to the performance). We already have all the related schedules in place," he promised.

As for future activities, "From May to June, we will do Chinese dramas. In addition, KBS 1TV's epic drama 'Moonmu' is still filming," he said.

Baek Sung-hyun suffered this crippled situation, but his passion for the stage did not stop. "I personally learned a lot and was happy while performing and practicing this time," he said. So I didn't think I would not perform in the future for this reason, he said. "If there are good musicals and works in the future, I will participate and show my acting to many people."
