WJSN member Yoo Yeon-jung has announced her upcoming performance in the musical 'Beethoven'.

Yoo Yeon-jung will take the stage for the first performance of the musical 'Beethoven' on the 9th at the Grand Theater of Sejong Cultural Center, meeting with audiences.

Through her agency Starship Entertainment, Yoo Yeon-jung shared, "I am so happy and excited to greet you again on a musical stage. This time, I will appear in 'Beethoven,' and I believe you will experience magnificent classical music and a stunning stage. I will do my best in every performance to gift special memories to our fans, Woojung (official fanclub name), and all audience members. Please give us your support and expectations."

The musical 'Beethoven' is set in Vienna in 1810 and depicts the journey of the genius composer Beethoven, who never lost his passion for creation despite the extreme situation of losing his hearing, continuing his life's work.

In particular, this season vividly realizes the era through diverse stage productions, including a magnificent court ball, Vienna streets, and a rose garden. Additionally, the harmony of classical and modern sensibilities is achieved by blending Beethoven's representative works such as 'Moonlight,' 'Pathétique,' and 'Appassionata' sonatas, along with Symphony No. 9 'Choral,' with music by composer Sylvester Levay.

Yoo Yeon-jung will take the stage playing the role of 'Bettina Brentano' in the musical. 'Bettina Brentano' is a character who dreams of becoming a Romantic poet, enjoys writing poems about nature and love, and is the sister-in-law of 'Anton Brentano,' Beethoven's soulmate. She experiences complex emotional conflicts, understanding Beethoven and Anton as they are drawn to each other while worrying about her older brother, 'Franz.'

Yoo Yeon-jung is expected to delicately express the inner conflict and emotional changes of this character, while also heightening the tension in the play and driving the story forward as events unfold. Having received praise for her solid vocal ability, stable vocalization, and delicate emotional expression through various works, she is drawing expectations for what kind of charm and interpretation she will bring to the character in this production.

Yoo Yeon-jung made her musical debut in 2022 with the musical 'Ride.' Since then, she has steadily expanded her filmography by appearing in various works including 'Crash Landing on You,' 'Aloha, My Mother,' 'The Great Comet,' 'Frida,' and 'Suga.' She has proven her versatile acting ability by persuasively portraying the narrative and emotions of each character, making audiences anticipate her future as a musical actress.

Furthermore, Yoo Yeon-jung released the special single 'Bloom hour' in February to commemorate WJSN's 10th debut anniversary. Recently, she celebrated the 10th anniversary of the group I.O.I's formation by appearing on various music shows and the '2026 I.O.I Concert Tour: LOOP in SEOUL' stage, demonstrating her unwavering stage presence and charisma. Consequently, attention is focused on her new activities to be showcased through this musical 'Beethoven.'

Meanwhile, the musical 'Beethoven' will be performed at the Grand Theater of Sejong Cultural Center until August 11.
