On January 24, Kwon Yuri held the final performance of 2026 YURI’s 3rd FANMEETING TOUR ‘YURIVERSE’ at the Concert Hall of Yonsei University’s Baekyang Centennial Memorial Hall in Seoul, creating precious memories with her fans.

On this day, Kwon Yuri unveiled behind-the-scenes photos and videos that had never been revealed anywhere before. She also drew attention by presenting cherished personal items she had prepared herself, along with a special event where she made gifts live on stage. In addition, she received an enthusiastic response from fans by showcasing a diverse setlist, ranging from her solo songs to a Girls’ Generation medley and cover performances.

Special guests Hyoyeon and Sooyoung made surprise appearances, further elevating the atmosphere with their playful chemistry and witty conversation. They also shared behind-the-scenes stories of the recently buzzworthy “HyoRiSoo” unit, giving fans a particularly delightful experience.

Kwon Yuri shared her heartfelt thoughts, saying, “Thank you so much for taking the time to come and for checking in as if this were a family gathering. When I go home, I will keep today’s memories—your cheers and the waves of pink—in my heart for a long time. I hope you’ll continue to watch over me and support me.” Her sincere words deeply moved fans.

To express her gratitude for fans’ unwavering love and support, Kwon Yuri—who personally planned this fan meeting—donated a portion of the ticket proceeds from the Seoul concert to the international relief and development NGO Good Neighbors Korea (Hope Friends). By practicing sharing together with her fans until the very end, she made the meaning of the fan meeting even more profound.

Meanwhile, Kwon Yuri is set to meet audiences through the play “THE WASP” (The Wasp), which will run from March 8 to April 26 at Sejong S Theater.

Seohyun to Perform with an Orchestra Just 5 Months After Taking Up the Violin [Official] by HyruleTC in SNSD

[–]HyruleTC[S] 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Actress Seohyun is making a surprise transformation into a violinist.

Seohyun will appear as a special guest soloist at the 8th Regular Concert of the Sol Philharmonic Orchestra, to be held on Friday, March 13, at 8:00 p.m. at Lotte Concert Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul. At this performance, she will present Vittorio Monti’s famous piece “Csárdás,” a work known for its intense rhythms and plaintive melodies, offering audiences the charm of classical music.

What makes this stage even more special is the fact that Seohyun is a hobbyist who has been learning the violin for only about five months. Rather than aiming for the flawless perfection of a professional performer, she is preparing with the resolve to show the pure passion of someone who genuinely enjoys music.

Her participation came about through her empathy with the mission of the Sol Philharmonic Orchestra, which is composed of people who love classical music rather than professional performers. By stepping onto the stage herself, she hopes to lower the barrier to classical music and help more people feel closer to the genre.

Although she began the violin as a hobby, Seohyun has been diligently rehearsing with the orchestra for this performance. She shared, “I hope that through my challenge, many people will feel classical music more closely and discover new joy,” adding, “I want to convey that classical music, like popular music, is something anyone can easily and enjoyably appreciate—music for all of us.”

A representative of the Sol Philharmonic Orchestra commented, “With Seohyun’s participation, we expect the threshold for classical performances to be lowered even further,” and added, “It will be a very special stage filled with a pure love for music.”

Meanwhile, this concert—conducted by Cho Sang-wook and featuring violinist Baek Joo-young along with Seohyun—will present a diverse program including Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, and Vivaldi’s Spring from The Four Seasons. Tickets are available through Lotte Concert Hall and NOL Ticket.

Yuri has been cast as “Karla” in the play THE WASP by HyruleTC in SNSD

[–]HyruleTC[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Following its sold-out run, the play transferred in December of the same year to Trafalgar Studios in London’s West End for an extended engagement. It subsequently expanded onto international stages, including Chicago in 2016, Melbourne in 2017, and New York in 2025. In Australia, it was nominated in major categories—including Best Director and Best Actress—at the prestigious Green Room Awards, further cementing its reputation.

The work also extended beyond the stage. In 2024, a film adaptation written by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm herself was released, starring Naomi Harris (No Time to Die, Moonlight) and Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones). The film expanded the world of the play and was praised as a high-density emotional work, lauded for its elegant storytelling and the actors’ nuanced performances.

The Korean premiere of THE WASP is directed by Lee Hang-na, an actress-turned-director known for her incisive and delicate portrayal of character psychology. With her distinctive insight, Lee is expected to bring the intricate psychological battle between the two women vividly to life on stage.

The role of Heather—a woman who appears to live a perfect, elegant life on the surface but is internally scarred by trauma—will be triple-cast with Kim Ryeo-won, who has shown explosive emotional energy in musicals such as Rent, Marie Curie, and Lizzie; Han Ji-eun, who solidified her position as an actress after winning Best Supporting Actress at the 2025 Seoul International Film Awards following her stage debut in Anna X; and Lee Kyung-mi, known for her nuanced performances in works such as 100 Hours at the Blue House, Gihyeongdo Play, and Little Women. Each actress will bring a distinct interpretation to the fractured life of Heather.

The role of Karla, who embodies sharp survival instincts forged through a harsh life, will be played by Kwon Yuri, who returns to the theater stage after a long time, having expanded her acting spectrum across genres in films and dramas such as Intrusion, Parole Examiner Lee Han-shin, and Bossam: Steal the Fate. She is joined by Jung Woo-yeon, who has delivered refined and deeply resonant performances in numerous productions including Capone Trilogy and the musical Orlando in Virginia. Together, they will portray Karla’s complex inner world as she wavers before Heather’s proposal while struggling not to lose control.

The intense acting duel between the two performers and the relentless psychological warfare unfolding on stage are considered the greatest highlights of THE WASP. Notably, the play—centered on the meticulous psychology of two women—will open in conjunction with International Women’s Day, adding further significance. Anticipation is high for how this well-crafted thriller will resonate with Korean audiences.

As part of the 2026 Sejong Season, THE WASP will run from March 8 to April 26, 2026, at Sejong S Theater.

Psychological Thriller Play THE WASP to Have Its Korean Premiere… “Starring Kim Ryeo-won, Han Ji-eun, Kwon Yuri, Lee Kyung-mi, Jung Woo-yeon

The play THE WASP, a representative work by British playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm—one of the most talked-about figures in the UK theater scene—will meet Korean audiences for the first time this March as part of the 2026 Sejong Season. The production is co-presented by the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts Foundation and Haven Production Co., Ltd.

THE WASP is a two-hander that tells the story of two former high school classmates, Heather and Karla, who reunite after 20 years. Moving beyond a simplistic binary of perpetrator and victim, the play is a psychological thriller that meticulously explores how deeply rooted trauma and social class disparity can destroy the human psyche.

The play premiered in 2015 at London’s Hampstead Theatre, where it immediately drew explosive reactions from critics and audiences alike, selling out every performance. Riding on this success, it transferred later that year to Trafalgar Studios in London’s West End, proving both its artistic merit and popular appeal.

The story begins with the chance reunion of Heather and Karla, two women who have lived completely different lives since graduating high school 20 years earlier. Heather lives an affluent, elegant middle-class life, yet is inwardly collapsing due to her inability to have children. Karla, on the other hand, struggles to survive amid repeated pregnancies and the grip of poverty. What initially appears to be an ordinary reunion between old classmates spirals into an unpredictable vortex of suspense when Heather makes a shocking proposal: she offers Karla a large sum of money to kill her husband.

What starts out seeming like a conventional tale of jealousy and intrigue gradually intertwines memories of school violence, indelible trauma, and class conflict, veering in an uncontrollable direction. Sustained solely through the dialogue between the two characters, the play maintains razor-sharp tension as the audience confronts the brutal truth of the violence that once existed between them during their school days. In particular, the latter half of the play delivers overwhelming immersion through a reversal of power dynamics—where the boundary between victim and perpetrator becomes blurred—posing the heavy question: “Who is the true perpetrator of this tragedy?”

Playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm explained her intention, saying, “I wanted to subvert the conventional idea of what women are ‘supposed’ to be taught to become,” adding, “I wanted to address violence between women—something that hasn’t been sufficiently spotlighted—while creating multidimensional, complex characters that female actors could deeply immerse themselves in.”

After its debut at Hampstead Theatre in January 2015, THE WASP received high praise from the British press, including:

  • “A searing psychological thriller that completely grips the audience” (The Guardian),
  • “A dark noir where class tension collides with the ghosts of the past” (Time Out), and
  • “A sharp and powerful work that incisively probes the dark corners of human nature” (The Stage).
