Welcome to

A bilingual archive of Korean musical theater, at home and abroad

This site is dedicated to Korean musical theater — both at home and abroad — with reflections drawn from my own experiences as an audience member. It’s part archive, part opinion, part curiosity project.

To help navigate the site, I’ve grouped the pages into a few key areas:

Musical Reviews

뮤지컬 리뷰

K-Musicals Abroad

Musical Reviews

My personal reflections and critiques, organized by type: original Korean musicals, licensed productions, and Broadway shows I’ve attended. These aren’t formal reviews but memory-based responses to performances that left an impression.

K-Musicals Abroad

An archive dedicated to tracing the overseas journeys of Korean musicals: where they traveled, how they were adapted, and who brought them to life. This collection includes performance data, historical notes, and the cultural significance of each international appearance.

K-Musical Culture

A guide to the unique audience behaviors, ticketing practices, and backstage customs that shape musical theater in Korea. Whether you're new to Korean musicals or planning to attend one, this section will help you understand what to expect — and what makes the experience different.

K-Musical Timetable

A visual calendar of major musical productions in Korea, organized by venue and year. I added external references and my own review links for easy browsing — helpful for planning or just seeing what’s on stage across the country.

Why I Write

I prefer musicals to movies because there’s a curtain call. All the dead and the evil come back to the stage, smiling. It reminds us it’s just a story — that we shared it together, and that it ends with a bow.

I write to remember, not to judge — as I elaborated in my Review Manifesto.

And sometimes, I just want to say: “You had to be there.”
