Lee Si-hyeong Joins Highly Anticipated 2026 Play 'Secret Passage' Alongside Kim Seon-ho and Yang Kyung-won

Actor Lee Si-hyeong has been confirmed to join the highly anticipated 2026 play 'Secret Passage,' set to showcase his acting prowess once again.

The production of 'Secret Passage' has already garnered significant attention with its star-studded cast, including not only Lee Si-hyeong but also prominent actors like Kim Seon-ho, Yang Kyung-won, Kim Sung-kyu, Oh Kyung-joo, and Kang Seung-ho, whose names alone guarantee high audience interest.

Based on the original work 'Meeting Room of Imperfections' by Tomohiro Maekawa, a celebrated Japanese playwright and director who has won the Yomiuri Theatre Awards for Best Director and Best Production, the play boasts a creative team that includes director Min Sae-rom, known for acclaimed productions such as 'Jellyfish' and 'On the Beat,' and the production company Contents Hub, recognized for its innovative and successful theatrical ventures. This collaboration positions 'Secret Passage' as one of the most talked-about plays of 2026.

'Secret Passage' delves into the profound themes of life and death, and the ephemeral nature of human connection and existence, through the story of two individuals who meet in an unfamiliar space with lost memories. Their intertwined fates are explored through books filled with shared recollections.

In the play, Lee Si-hyeong will take on the challenging role of 'Seo-jin,' a man who begins to bombard the unfamiliar surroundings with questions. He will portray the repetitive cycle of life and death with delicate nuance and a touch of wit, enriching the narrative and engaging directly with the audience.

Having built a strong foundation in theater with his compelling performances in plays like 'Rooftop Cat,' 'The Dramatic One Night,' 'Sheer Madness,' and 'In Search of Happiness,' Lee Si-hyeong recently expanded his reach to television with the drama 'My Mom's Friend's Son,' endearing himself to the public with his versatile acting. Anticipation is high to see what new facets of his talent he will reveal in 'Secret Passage.'

With Lee Si-hyeong's addition completing the impressive cast, the 2026 must-see play 'Secret Passage' is scheduled to premiere in February next year at a theater in Daehakro.

Korean netizens are buzzing with excitement, with comments like 'I can't wait to see Lee Si-hyeong in this!', 'The lineup with Kim Seon-ho is insane!', and '2026 is going to be a great year for theater!' showing high anticipation for the play.
