Actor Moon Geun-young has returned to the theater stage for the first time in nine years.

On the afternoon of the 19th, a press call for the play "Opens" was held at Daehak RotiOM in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Actors Moon Geun-young, Park Ji-il, Woo Hyun-joo, Yang So-min, Jung In-ji, Choi Seok-jin, Oh Seung-hoon, Kim Si-yu, Kim Joo-yeon, Choi Jung-woo and Kim Dan-yi attended the meeting.

American playwright Lyle Kessler's masterpiece, "Offens," is a story about middle-aged gangster Harold, orphan brothers "Trit" and "Philip" starting a strange cohabitation and becoming a family. "Treet," played by Moon Geun-young, is a three-dimensional character who struggles with lack and responsibility behind an exterior that wields harsh violence to protect his younger brother from the world.

In particular, this performance drew attention as Moon Geun-young's first return to the play in nine years. "The biggest reason for appearing on 'Opens' was the comfort and message that the script gave me," he said. "I read the script almost every night, and I started to feel that I wanted to give it a try, and I wanted to do it somehow."

He continued, "For this role, I practiced a lot of simple parts of the knife, and I tried to make sure that the action was not sloppy, even though it came out for a while. In my case, I couldn't swear, so I couldn't hear 'SiX' like 'SiX', so I practiced hard with the help of people around me.

Meanwhile, Moon Geun-young developed acute compartment syndrome during his appearance in the play "Romeo and Juliet" in 2017 and suspended his activities. "Many people worried about my health, but now I am fully cured and healthy," he said, adding, "Although I gained a little weight, I am on a diet."

The play "Offens" will be performed at Daehak Rotiom until May 31.
