Actor Baek Sung-hyun left a heartwarming story by sending a snack car to the rehearsal site of the musical "Eyes of Dawn."

According to the production company NextSketch on the 12th, Baek Sung-hyun wanted fellow actors and staff by delivering a snack car to the rehearsal site of Dawn's Eye on the 11th. The snack car also contained a message of support, saying, "We will all work together to succeed in the eyes of Yeoreum," boosting the atmosphere on the spot.

Amid the recent conflict between the production company and some actors over unpaid performance fees, attention is focusing on whether Baek Sung-hyun's heartwarming story will lead to a reversal of mood.

Meanwhile, Dawn's Eye is a work based on MBC's 30th anniversary special drama, Dawn's Eye, which aired from 1991 to February 1992. At the time of broadcasting, the original film drew great attention, recording the highest viewership rating of 58.4%.

The musical was recognized for its cinematic quality when it was nominated for the Korea Musical Awards for Best Work at its premiere in 2019. By compressing the narrative of the 36-part original drama into six acts, historical scenes such as Shanghai and Jeju April 3 were realized on the stage.

The work was decided to extend its performance from the 24th of last month to April 12. Baek Sung-hyun drew attention as he was newly cast as the male protagonist, Choi Dae-chi.

However, the concert scheduled at the Dawn of Converse Stage Arena in Dongjak-gu, Seoul on the 8th was suddenly canceled, sparking controversy. The production company reportedly notified the cancellation on the day of the performance, drawing criticism from the audience. Some audiences reportedly protested, saying that prior guidance as well as follow-up measures were not properly implemented. The cancellation also canceled free invitation performances for 1,000 current and former firefighters and their families.

Baek Sung-hyun, who is scheduled to be on stage from the 17th, apologized before meeting with the audience on the 11th. "As one of the leading actors, I feel a heavy responsibility for the current disruptions in the performance," he said on his personal SNS. "The current situation was caused by structural problems between the production company and the former actors, and I ask you to deeply understand the hardships of your fellow actors who were forced to make difficult decisions for their legitimate rights."

He continued, "I'm making a bloody effort for my stage as one of the leading actors. If you find it again, I'll repay you under my name. Once again, I am truly sorry," he added.
