Tiffany Young, a former member of the group Girls' Generation, will meet audiences as Yumi, the protagonist of the musical 'Tiffany of the Cells.' She has hinted at a new Yumi unique to the stage, going beyond the original work and the drama.

On the 10th, the press conference for the musical 'Tiffany of the Cells' was held at Ticket Link 1975 Theater in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Director Yang Jeong-woong, along with actors Tiffany Young, Kim Ye-won, Choi Jae-rim, Jung Taek-woon, and Kim So-hyang attended the event.

Lee Dong-geon's 'Tiffany of the Cells,' which achieved an unprecedented record of 3.5 billion cumulative views on Naver Webtoon, will be realized on the musical stage.

Tiffany Young and Kim Ye-won will play the role of 'Yumi,' the protagonist who lives an ordinary yet special daily life.

Tiffany Young said, "After being offered the role, I researched everything from the 'Tiffany of the Cells' webtoon to the drama, and while watching the work, I fell in love with Yumi myself. Having finished reading the entire webtoon, I have made up my mind to portray Yumi well. My first line is 'An ordinary 32-year-old office worker,' and I believe my task is to find brilliance and uniqueness within that ordinariness."

She added, "Even in simple moments, there is so much depth, and I think the character's growth is very helpful to me, which is why I decided to take on the role."

Regarding the differences between Yumi (played by Kim Go-eun) in the original work and the drama 'Tiffany of the Cells,' Tiffany Young stated, "Both the webtoon and the drama are completely different from the musical script, so I am using them as source material. Since it is a format performed on stage, I have found it very helpful to be able to refer to the webtoon and drama for reactions when expressing Yumi in Acts 1 and 2."

She continued, "I consider both the webtoon and the drama to be just one of the blueprints for Yumi. However, since Yumi's journey and story line unfold on stage, and above all, there is music, I am focusing on the lyrics contained within it. I will work hard on singing and present a Yumi that fits the stage."
