Ok Jinwook is on the verge of making his debut as a musical actor. Known for his unique charm on ‘Mr. Trot’ Season 1, he is expanding his path as an actor through the original musical ‘The Creature,’ challenging the stage. In the upcoming performance at the Daehak-ro Freedom Theater starting from June 16th, he is gathering expectations as he takes on the role of a monster. ‘The Creature’ is a new story that imagines what happens after the ending of the classic masterpiece ‘Frankenstein.’ The play sheds light on questions of humanity and existence left behind after the end of the doctor and the monster, leading the audience through a more philosophical approach. Veteran actors such as Park Minsung and Jung Inji take on the role of the doctor, while talented actors including Ok Jinwook enhance the depth of the stage as the monster. In the poster, Ok Jinwook visualizes the symbolism of the work with a frozen expression and a chilly atmosphere. The complexity of emotions within the cold exterior and what face the monster will truly have on stage pique the curiosity of the audience. His background as a musical major during his school days provides a foundation for showcasing stable acting and singing on this stage. Initially known as a trot singer, Ok Jinwook has steadily built his stage sense while communicating with the public as a member of ‘FIVE Jang.’ Making a stable debut as an actor with natural acting in the drama ‘Even If You Cheat, It’s a Dream,’ he is now gearing up for his return in the upcoming work ‘Running Mate.’ Additionally, showcasing his versatility as a boxing athlete, the interest in his first musical challenge is growing. ‘The Creature’ is a piece where the experimental nature of the creators harmonizes with the individuality of the actors, and it will run until the end of August.
