Ji Hyun-woo's 'Unwavering Dedication' as a Musical Actor Praised by Co-Stars
Actor Ji Hyun-woo has revealed his diligent routine, earning praise even from his peers in the theater world, solidifying his reputation as an icon of hard work.
In the MBC entertainment program 'Point of Omniscient Interfere,' broadcast on the 8th, Ji Hyun-woo showcased his life as a perfect 'planner' type ('J' type) individual, from his daily life to his professional conduct at the performance venue.
Upon arriving at the venue for his current musical, 'Red Book,' his co-star Min Kyung-a remarked, "You're early," sparking curiosity among others. Song Won-geun further jested, "Are you coming tomorrow too?" (referring to days Ji Hyun-woo isn't scheduled to perform), humorously highlighting his exceptional commitment.
It turned out Ji Hyun-woo, whose performance was scheduled for 7:30 PM that day, had arrived during the preparation time for the 3:00 PM show. While warming up with yoga in the waiting room, he continuously practiced by monitoring the stage, demonstrating remarkable focus.
He revealed that he often visits the theater even on days he isn't performing to practice backstage, impressing his fellow actors.
Meanwhile, Ji Hyun-woo, along with his 'Red Book' co-star Ivy, is set to appear on the 'Talent Ivy League' special of MBC's 'Radio Star' on the 12th. Viewers can anticipate them showcasing the genuine chemistry between their characters, 'Brown' and 'Anna'.
'Red Book' is an original musical set in 19th-century Victorian London. It tells the story of 'Anna,' an author who defies societal taboos and prejudices, and 'Brown,' a principled lawyer, as they learn the values of understanding and respect through each other. The musical runs until December 7th at the Universal Arts Center in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.
Netizens who watched the broadcast commented, "Ji Hyun-woo is truly a hard worker," "That's why he becomes a great actor," and "I really want to go see the musical 'Red Book,'" expressing admiration for his diligence.
