[Sports Today reporter Song Oh-jung] Actress Ye Ji-won, who appears in the play ‘Hongdo,’ outlined the choices she made to craft her own distinct take among the three actresses portraying Hongdo. <\/p>\n

On the afternoon of the 1st, a press conference for the play ‘Hongdo’ was held at Sungshin Women’s University Unjeong Green Campus. After a delay in the highlight scenes, the Q&A included artistic director Go Seon-woong; Kim Myung-gyu, president of the National Asia Culture Center Foundation; costume designer Chai Kim (Kim Young-jin); and cast members Park Ha-sun, Ye Ji-won, Choi Ha-yoon, Jung Bo-seok and Hong Eui-jun. <\/p>\n

The play reinterprets universal themes of tragic love and sacrifice through the story of Hongdo\u2014who becomes a gisaeng to support her brother’s education\u2014and Gwang-ho, the son of a prestigious family. <\/p>\n

Among the three actresses playing Hongdo, Ye Ji-won\u2014who has been with the production since its premiere\u2014brought a seasoned depth to the role. She joked that she only recently learned Hongdo is 18 and said she felt honored. \u201cAt first I tried deliberately to act younger, but director Go told me not to. I\u2019ve been working hard to find that balance,\u201d she explained, describing the acting choices she used to define her Hongdo. <\/p>\n

Although she has been involved since the premiere 10 years ago, Ye said this run feels like a new challenge. \u201cIt feels like starting over. Even though the lines are in Korean, memorizing them isn\u2019t easy. It\u2019s been a valuable time learning words we don\u2019t often use,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Reflecting on how things have changed in 10 years, she noted that many actors from the Mabangjin troupe who were there 10 years ago remain and have developed stronger vocal technique, maturing into major performers. \u201cI thought I needed to step up,\u201d she laughed. \u201cWhether it\u2019s making the audience laugh or making them cry, my goal is to deliver those emotions to them.\u201d <\/p>\n

The play ‘Hongdo’ runs at Seoul Arts Center\u2019s CJ Towol Theater from April 10 to 26. After completing 22 performances there, the production will tour 7 cities nationwide: the National Asia Culture Center in Gwangju; Daegu\u2019s Suseong Artpia; Ansan Arts Center; Pohang Culture & Arts Center; Miryang Arirang Art Center; Busan Citizens\u2019 Hall; and Anseong Matchum Art Hall. <\/p>\n
