Since it was first performed on stage in Korea in 2005, there is a work that has surpassed 1 million audiences even though it has only performed in Seoul.

It is the musical 'Aida'.

Nightline Invitation Seat, Today we have the two main characters of the musical <Aida>, actors Kim Woo-hyung and Kim Soo-ha.



Q. Exceeded 1 million audience during the performance...

How do you feel?



[Kim Soo-ha / Actor: I am a new member of this season.

I think it's an honor to be able to be part of this amazing work that has been loved in Korea for so long.]



[Kim Woo-hyung/Actor: I think I should say thank you to the 1 million viewers.

I think that the reason Aida was able to come to the sixth season was the power of love from the audience who were with us.

I have been with the fourth season since 2010.

I'm really happy to be able to be with you with such an honor at this moment.]



Q. The musical 'Aida'…

what kind of work



[Kim Woo-hyung/Actor: The musical Aida is the first work made exclusively for this musical by Disney, not based on an animation.

Aida, Princess of Nubia, and Amneris, daughter of the Egyptian pharaoh.

And General Ratames, who is loved by these two women at the same time.

This is a musical about the beautiful and sad story of these three people.]

Q. First joining this season…

Were there any burdens?



[Kim Soo-ha / Actor: It is a really great work that the great seniors went through, and it is a lie to say that it was not a burden because it was a great character.

So I have to do well.

I guess I just thought I had to do well.

But I think I was able to come this far because of the sunbaenims and many staff members who are working with me now.]

Q. The role of ‘Aida’…

How did you study the character?



[Kim Soo-ha/Actress: Maybe because Aida looks brave, maybe she looks a little heroic?

I was a little worried about that.

However, since Aida is also a human being, she wanted to express her complexities like this in a more delicate way.

So, I tried to study and express that part a little more.]

Q. The fourth 'Radames' role...

Is there anything special about it?



[Kim Woo-hyung/Actor: Thankfully, we are doing the fourth season.

To keep one role for a long time.

It's very burdensome.

The Radames that I express should show a lot of different textures.

The appearance of a strong and ambitious general.

And the figure of a romantic man supporting everything in love.

I am concentrating on maximizing the gap between those textures.

Then write your emotions well to the end.

It is physically very difficult while concentrating on it, but I am working hard to fill it well.]

Q. The musical ‘Aida’…

Are there any viewing points?



[Kim Woo-hyung/Actor: I don't want you to miss our work.

In fact, we finished the show for this version last season.

But through this pandemic, I was able to meet the audience again due to a special situation.

So right now, Korea is the only country in the world that performs Aida.

So, if you haven't seen our work while thinking about whether you will be able to see the current version of the performance again in the future, I recommend you to watch it.]



Q. What kind of actor do you want to remain as an actor?



[Kim Woo-hyung/Actor: Well.

I think all the actors are of the same mind.

Keeping up with the public.

That's the hope.

I hope that I will be remembered as a good actor by meeting you all while managing well and continuing to work hard.]

[Kim Soo-ha / Actor: There are so many happy moments when I am on stage.

And there are also many moments of comfort, as I play that character.

But I always think that I want the audience to come and comfort me through this performance of me.

So I want to become an actor who comforts you.]
