Over 90 minutes, the couple\u2019s meeting and parting, pregnancy and miscarriage, birth and death are conveyed almost entirely through dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>The posters map the couple\u2019s shared history and pivotal choices across three emotional arcs. Each image highlights traces left by the characters and poses the play\u2019s central question\u2014\u201cAre we good people?\u201d\u2014through its copy and objects.<\/p>\n<p>The poster featuring Lim Joo-hwan and Jeong Un-sun shows adult footprints that give way to a child\u2019s. It carries the line, \u201cOne child\u2019s carbon footprint is 10,000 tons of CO2,\u201d expressing both the responsibility and the hope involved in raising a child. The poster also includes the exhortation, \u201cPlant trees. Make forests. Supply oxygen to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Park Sung-hoon and Jeon So-min\u2019s poster turns everyday choices\u2014using a mug instead of disposable cups, riding a bicycle instead of driving\u2014into a path bordered by grass and flowers. Kim Kyung-nam and Shin Yoon-ji\u2019s poster shows a couple sharing earbuds and listening to the same music, overlaid with a path that moves from green leaves to brown fallen leaves, evoking the passage of love and life.<\/p>\n<p>Lungs unfolds decades of time through the actors\u2019 breathing and dialogue on a minimally staged set. Lim Joo-hwan, Park Sung-hoon and Kim Kyung-nam appear as the male lead; Jeong Un-sun, Jeon So-min and Shin Yoon-ji appear as the female lead. The production opens May 23 at the Chungmu Art Center\u2019s Medium Theater Black.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The play &#8216;Lungs&#8217; explores environmental issues and personal responsibility through a couple&#8217;s intimate conversations over 90 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/thumbnail\/2026\/05\/CP-2023-0137\/thumb-faba7cea-94a6-4b46-bcc9-97f3d249e8ca.jpg","footnotes":""},"categories":[278102],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-260960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Are We Good People?
