The play "Secret Passage" had time to talk with the audience directly.

The "Secret Passage" successfully concluded the "Conversation with the Audience" event on the 21st and 24th with the enthusiastic support of the audience.

The event was organized to repay the audience's deep interest in the play "Secret Passage," and the original author Tomohiro Maekawa shared the message and behind-the-scenes production of the work with director Min Sae-rom in Korea. In addition, actors Yang Kyung-won, Oh Kyung-ju, Kim Sung-kyu, and Lee Si-hyung from each episode also attended. Kim Sun-ho was absent. At the event, the audience carefully pointed out the points they were curious about. Every time the conversation continued, cheers and applause erupted from the audience, adding to the enthusiasm of the scene.

The first session, which took place on the 21st, was attended by actors Yang Kyung-won and Oh Kyung-joo, along with writer Tomohiro Maekawa and director Min Sae-rom. Yang Kyung-won said, "The chemistry on stage is different every moment, and even with the same person, today's and tomorrow's performances are different," adding, "Thanks to the harmonious color of each of the six actors, the audience seems to love the colorful charms of different pairs."

Oh Kyung-joo said, "Rather than prescribing the situation on stage before the performance, I tried to fully leave my body to the breath and flow with the other actor," adding, "In fact, the nuances of the dialogue and the air of the scene were different in each performance." "Thanks to actor Kim Seon-ho's delicate flexibility, actor Kim Sung-kyu's caring consideration, and the unique reassurance given by actor Yang Kyung-won, who has a long relationship, I was able to trust my colleagues and prepare the stage with all my heart for each episode," he said, showing special affection and trust for the actors he shares with.

In the second session, which took place on the 24th, actors Kim Sung-kyu and Lee Si-hyung attended and expressed their sincere feelings about the various emotions and works they felt on stage. Kim Sung-kyu said, "I have mixed feelings because it's my first return to the play in nine years, but the biggest emotion among them was also 'excited'." "Every moment I work with 'Seojin' with various colors is fun, and I received a lot of stimulation and help from watching 'Dongjae' with a different determination from me during the practice process," he said, expressing his passion for the character with the will to continue to focus until the end of the last performance.

Lee Si-hyung recalled the fierce preparation process, saying, "The whole process, including single-person multi-role and Busan dialect acting, was a task and challenge, and everyone did their best with the idea of preparing another play for each scene going back to the past." "The thought I had the most while acting 'Seojin' was regrettable. It is a meaningful work that reminded all actors of the importance of the relationship with the person next to me so that I feel sorry that the practice time has passed," he said, expressing a deep attachment to the character and the work.

Master writer Tomohiro Maekawa expressed his deep appreciation for the Korean audience's enthusiastic support and the actors' passionate performance. In particular, regarding the difference between the Korean and Japanese stages, he said, "The essence of the emotion that the work penetrates is the same, but the air surrounding the stage is quite different," adding, "If Japanese performances emphasize a cold and dry aesthetics, Korean performances are very satisfactory because they have a sophisticated urban sense and warm and bright energy." "I hope the play 'Secret Passage' will be a time of consolation for those living in a difficult reality to cherish even the momentary relationship," he said, adding a sincere speech.

Director Min Sae-rom also showed deep trust in the actors. Director Min said, "I am grateful to the actors for balancing the play with their delicate ability to freely move between boldness and wit," and added, "It was a time to confirm that actors must bring their own inner pain onto the stage to keep the text alive."

As such, the synergy created by the perfect three beats of the original, directing, and acting gives the audience a pleasant pleasure and deep lingering feeling in each episode. This has led to voluntary recommendations by real-time visitors and hot word of mouth, which is the driving force behind the strong re-watching craze.

At the end of the event, the production company Content Association said, "We sincerely thank the audience for filling the auditorium for both days and warmly sympathizing with all the conversations," adding, "We will do our best to convey the deep echo of the 'secret passage' until the final performance."

The play "Secret Passage," which is a perfect ensemble of six actors including Yang Kyung-won, Kim Sun-ho, Kim Sung-kyu, Lee Si-hyung, Oh Kyung-ju and Kang Seung-ho, is currently performing successfully at Woori Investment & Securities Hall (middle theater) in Daehak-ro, NOL Theater, and tickets can be booked through NOL tickets and ticket links.
