The Paris Opera Ballet with 350 years of history has Korean principal dancer Park Se-eun.

After becoming the first Asian to become the first principal dancer, Etoile, I visited the domestic stage for the first time.



We met with reporter Kim Soo-hyun, specialized in culture and art.

Se-eun Park, who became the first Asian principal dancer Etoile in the Paris Opera Ballet's 350-year history last year.



It was right after this ballet performed in Romeo and Juliet, the first face-to-face performance since Corona.

From today...

Se-eun Park, who has won famous competitions since she was a teenager, made her lead role in Korea before finishing his studies.



He joined the Paris Opera Ballet as an associate member of the Paris Opera Ballet in 2011, although he was also offered full-time members of other famous ballet companies abroad.



He broke through the fierce competition of the annual promotion exam and became the number one dancer just below the Principal Dancer in five years, but Etoile Al, who climbed only 10% of the members, was a star that was difficult to pick as the word literally means.



Since they were nominated for performance rather than exams, each performance was a test bed, and although there were frustrations with strikes and cancellations due to the corona virus, they endured.

It's not that I give up when things don't go well.]



Se-eun Park has become a prominent star in ballet closings with her delicate and elegant expressiveness that goes well with classical ballet.



He wraps up his first season of Etoile Al with a performance in his home country, and is now preparing to become an even more shining star.



[Park Se-eun / Paris Opera Ballet Principal Dancer: Since I am working hard at what I have to do now, the road has opened and the opportunity has come…

.

From now on, I want to focus on my dance a little more, and I really want to immerse myself in that art and live.
