Girls' Generation member and singer Tiffany Young, who has returned to the stage in the musical 'Yumi's Cells' after her marriage, revealed that she focused on interpreting the character.

On the 9th, a press conference for the musical 'Yumi's Cells' was held at CJ T-Mall Theater, Arts Center, Seocho-gu, Seoul. Attendees included Tiffany Young, Kim Ye-won, Choi Jae-rim, Jung Taek-woon, Kim So-hyang, and Yuria.

The musical 'Yumi's Cells', created by author Lee Dong-geon, who achieved an unprecedented record of 3.5 billion cumulative views on Naver Webtoon, has been brought to life on stage. It presents a unique visual system that fuses the identity of the original work with analog imagination.

The role of 'Yumi', the protagonist living an ordinary yet special daily life, is played by Tiffany Young and Kim Ye-won. After returning to the stage following the musical 'Chicago', Tiffany Young cited "empathy" as the most important aspect she focused on while preparing for 'Yumi'. She said, "I concentrated on making 'Yumi' a character that audiences can feel represents everyone's story," adding, "I now feel that I am completing this 'Yumi' together with the audience."

She continued, "'Yumi' is not a perfect or special person; she is a lovable and beautiful character who hesitates, feels fear, and even lacks confidence. I wanted to convey the message that it's okay to move at your own pace."

She also expressed her affection for the role, saying, "After each performance, I am struck by how amazing this work is. Through 'Yumi', I too am growing, feeling many things, and learning a lot. It is a role I look forward to every time."

Kim Ye-won shared that she has come to understand 'Yumi' more deeply by sharing the experience with the audience. She said, "'Yumi's Cells' is especially a work where I receive a lot of energy when performing alongside the audience. Normally, I can't see the audience well, but during scenes where Yumi and her cells meet, I can sometimes see them wiping away tears."

She added, "The more I feel that audiences are empathizing and finding comfort, the deeper my understanding of the character 'Yumi' becomes. I have once again realized how important it is to share this experience with the audience."

She further conveyed, "'Yumi' is a character who embodies love, parting, and growth that anyone can experience. I hoped that through this work, audiences would reflect on themselves and feel how to love themselves. It feels like they have accepted our intentions as they are, and we too are drawing energy from them to step onto the stage."
