Actor Lee Seo-jin expressed his feelings about returning to acting on his first stage with "Uncle Vanya."

On the 7th, a production presentation for the play "Uncle Vanya" was held at LG Art Center Seoul in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. Lee Hyun-jung, head of LG Art Center, director Ahn Sang-gyu, and actor Lee Seo-jin, Goa-sung, Yang Jong-wook, Lee Hwa-jung, and Kim Soo-hyun attended the event.

Uncle Vanya reinterpreted Anton Chekhov's masterpiece Uncle Vanya with a modern sense. Adapted and directed by Sang-gyu Son.

Actor Lee Seo-jin will take on the role of the title role "Vanya" and make his first play on the stage since his debut. "At first, I refused to do it, of course," he said. "After that, I met the director and heard the story, and now I think I'm old enough to judge for myself. That's why I listen to a lot of opinions from young people and people around me," he said.

"People around me said it would be better to try it, and I finally decided to appear because I saw the passion of the staff," he said. "But now I regret it." It's so hard that I think it'll be my last work," he said, smiling.

As for the reason for his initial concern, he said, "I took a long break from acting because I left my work and lived as an entertainer. I had a meeting with the director and talked with the staff in the office, so I felt rejected because it was my first time doing the play, but there were many opinions that I could trust the people I met with and work with."

He added, "I've been in TV dramas or movies, but I've never been in a play, so I've accepted the advice that it's better to try it because it seems like a good opportunity has come."

Lee Seo-jin also opened up about the difficulties. "I've never lived a regular life before, but it's the most difficult because it's an unfamiliar and new experience to repeat every day while preparing for this work," he said.

"I'm going to perform in May, but it's also a burden to be nervous thinking about the performance since practice in March," he said. "When I asked other actors when this tension disappeared, they said it would be okay when the performance began. I'm very worried because I still have a lot of performances left."

Director Ahn Sang-kyu said of Lee Seo-jin's casting, "I don't watch TV much, but I thought I had a very good sense of humor and a strong sense of responsibility. I don't watch TV a lot, but I thought it was a great responsibility to complain like that and work hard," he said, adding, "You're still working hard enough to blow your nose. He complained, but he's working hard."
