The play "Rendezvous" will meet audiences at the Seoul Arts Center's Jiyū Small Theater from April 5th to May 11th.
"Rendezvous" is the story of a special encounter between a scientist dedicated to rocket development and the daughter of a Jajangmyeon restaurant who seeks freedom through dance.
It depicts the process of two different people moving towards love while defying the physical law of gravity.
The stage will be designed to make the most of the flexible nature of the Jiyugyo Small Theatre. The long rectangular stage is reminiscent of a fashion show runway, with audience members on either side.
The audience seats are arranged in a space that is in the center of the stage. A treadmill is installed on the stage and is used as a unique device to physically visualize the psychological distance between the two people.
The two actors on stage lead the play for 100 minutes without exiting.
Actors Park Sung Woong, Park Kang Hyun, Minho, Lee Soo Kyung,
The cast includes Beom Do-ha and Kim Ha-ri. Minho has been cast as Tae-seop, a man who imprisons himself with his own rules in order to escape from painful memories.
This will be his second time acting in a play since "Waiting for Godot." Minho appeared in the play "Rendezvous" at the Seoul Arts Center Inchoon Art Hall on the 1st.
"This is my second time performing in a play. The moment I read 'Rendezvous,' I was like I was under a spell and wanted to do it so much that I decided to participate. I am grateful to director Kim JEONG HAN and many others for their support.
I am working hard together with the staff, seniors, and fellow actors," he said with a smile. Minho said, "When I first read the script, I was eating dinner at home.
"I ordered food, and when the food arrived, I was so engrossed in reading the script that I reread it, wondering whether to eat or not, even though I was hungry and needed to eat," he said of the play "Rendezvous."
He continued, "When I first read it, it felt like it was magically approaching me. I had a lot of ideas about what it would be like if I did it."
"Then, the idea of being on stage came to mind, and it remained as a happy memory, so I really wanted to do it," he said, revealing what prompted him to take on the role.
Minho, who plays the same role as Park Sung-Woong and Park Kang-hyun,
"Each Taeseop has its own charm. I wanted to create my own Taeseop feel. Experimental and challenging theater is very appealing to me. I'm nervous because we haven't had our first performance yet.
"I'm a little scared, but I want to show it to a lot of people as soon as possible, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it's received," he said.
Lee SooKyung, Beom DoHa, and Kim HaRi will star in the role of JiHee, who returns to the place, and Minho will be paired with Kim HaRi on stage.
Kim Hari said, "I enjoyed the premiere so much that I was very happy when I was contacted.
"I was surprised and confused because he is a very famous person and a really famous idol of our generation," said Minho.
He spoke about how he felt about being able to join the group, making Minho smile.
