The Jeonju Cultural Foundation (Representative Director Choi Rak-gi) will present the musical drama "You Like It" by the Gimhae Cultural Tourism Foundation at the Jeonju Hanbyeok Cultural Center on August 1st and 2nd.
This performance is part of the Jeonju Brand Performance Cultural Exchange Project led by the Jeonju Cultural Foundation, where representative local performances unfold on each other's stages to promote cultural and artistic exchanges.
It was planned to promote mutual cooperation and collaboration between regions and provide citizens with various opportunities to enjoy cultural and artistic experiences.
Previously, in November 2024, the Jeonju Brand Performance (Madang Changgeuk) "Taming the Arrogant Jeolla Governor" was successfully held at the Gimhae Cultural Center, and this event in Jeonju is an extension of that cultural exchange.
The musical drama "You Like It" revolves around theater owner Jung Woo-sung recalling his first love while watching the movie "Love Story," unfolding the stories of various characters with different life experiences. With a total of 5 actors, the performance will delicately express various emotions and narratives, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
Since its premiere in 2020, this work has been selected for the "Starfish" artist support program by the Gimhae Cultural Tourism Foundation, undergoing continuous reperformances and steady improvements, receiving recognition for its high quality.
In particular, it was selected as a "2024 Re:Bound Festival" work supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Arts Management Support Center, aiming to showcase outstanding locally created performance works in major theaters in Seoul and distribute them nationwide. It also achieved the milestone of being the first Kimhae arts organization to perform at the Blue House Autumn Music Concert.
"You Like It" is structured in a jukebox musical format that can resonate with audiences of all ages, and the narrative that combines humor and nostalgia is expected to particularly touch middle-aged and older audiences.
Choi Rak-gi, the representative director of the Jeonju Cultural Foundation, stated, "You Like It is a work that combines warm stories and music, and it will be a stage where we can communicate sincerely with the audience," adding, "We will continue to enhance the status of Jeonju as a cultural city through ongoing cultural exchanges and collaborations with domestic and international arts organizations."
The performance is free for all seats and is suitable for audiences aged 8 and above.
