Actor Lee Seo-jin is taking on a theater challenge for the first time in 27 years since his debut.

Lee Seo-jin will appear in the play "Uncle Vanya," which runs from the 7th to the 31st at LG Arts Center Seoul, LG SIGNATURE Hall.

"Uncle Vanya" is a representative work by the Russian literary giant Anton Chekhov and is one of the classic masterpieces most frequently performed on stages worldwide. It tells the story of ordinary people, including "Vanya" and "Sonya," who have devoted their lives to their living space, family, and the order within it, only to have their entire lives shaken as they suddenly step off the track of daily life.

Notably, "Uncle Vanya" was produced by LG Arts Center, with director and adapter Song Sang-gyu, who received recognition for both artistic merit and box office success with the play "The Lives of Others," elevating its quality. Lee Seo-jin, stepping onto a theater stage for the first time in 27 years, will meet audiences as part of the original cast for all 22 performances.

In the play, Lee Seo-jin takes on the role of "Vanya," the protagonist who vents his dissatisfaction and disillusionment with life while holding onto affection for his family and pure love for his dreams. Lee Seo-jin is expected to portray the character's complex emotional arc, sometimes explosively and sometimes calmly, leading to deep resonance and immersion from the audience.

Ahead of the first performance, Lee Seo-jin conveyed his determination through his agency: "Since March, every day has been a continuous stretch of tension, but I believe that is precisely what makes the theater stage so charming and appealing. As I embark on a new challenge as an actor, I will show you my own 'Vanya.'"
