Girls' Generation member and actress Choi Soo-young, who ended a 14-year public relationship with actor Jung Kyung-ho, is set to return to the stage next month.

Choi Soo-young will meet audiences with the play 'The Merchant of Venice,' which opens on the 7th of next month.

Choi Soo-young will share the stage with veteran actors Shin Goo and Park Geun-hyung, based on Shakespeare's classic.

'The Merchant of Venice' is a production by Park Company, which made a significant impact with 'Waiting for Godot,' and director Oh Kyung-taek, who are collaborating once again. The cast includes Shin Goo, Park Geun-hyung, Choi Soo-young, Lee Seung-ju, Kai, Won Jin-ah, Kim Seul-gi, and Kim Ah-young.

Choi Soo-young plays Portia, the heiress of Belmont and a character endowed with wit and wisdom. Portia not only drives the narrative through her relationship with the Venetian nobleman Bassanio but also plays a decisive role in the courtroom, clearly revealing the play's thematic essence as a central figure.

Having showcased stable acting across dramas and films, Choi Soo-young will once again deepen her acting craft with the play 'The Merchant of Venice' at the National Theater this summer. Interest is focused on Choi Soo-young, who will meet audiences for the first time in about three years since the 2023 play 'Wife.'

Previously, Choi Soo-young attended a press conference for 'The Merchant of Venice' held last month and shared her thoughts ahead of the stage production.

Meanwhile, Choi Soo-young recently ended her 14-year public relationship with Jung Kyung-ho. On the 9th, representatives from both Choi Soo-young's and Jung Kyung-ho's agencies confirmed that the two have broken up. According to representatives, the two have decided to part ways as lovers and remain good colleagues.

Given that the two dated for a long period of 14 years, interest is also focused on the reasons for their breakup. As they have mentioned their relationship and even discussed marriage in interviews, reactions of regret have continued.
