Eugene, Proceeds with Musical Even with Hairline Fracture
Eugene, who has transformed into a Musical actress, climbs on stage by overcoming her rib injury. It is the stage for the musical 'Innocent Steps.'
Recently, Eugene fractured a rib bone during rehearsal.
Because the musical requires the performers to act out the colorful and sensual art of dance sport all over the stage, the practice had to be very intense.
Eugene hid her chest pain and kept practicing, but fellow performers and staff noticed the subtle change in her dancing and advised her to get tested at the hospital.
The MRI photos showed hairline fractures on her rib bone(s), and although Eugene stubbornly insisted that she could go on, she had to give up her first performance. But with rapid recovery and an iron will, her dream of debuting in a musical comes true on the 7th at Seoul Sam Sung Dong Baek Ahm Art Hall in 'Innocent Steps.
The producing company Culture Cap(?) Media (representative: Choi Soon Shik) also gained strength from Eugene's recovery. With Eugene as the star of the show and a response that doesn't come short of the hype, the company is guaranteed massive support.
An insider from the producing company revealed, "There are many people who have postponed buying tickets to guarantee that they will see Eugene perform (this is a vague quote if i directly translate it but it means that people knew Eugene wouldn't be performing in the first show because of her injury so they waited until she recovered to buy tickets because they wanted to see HER perform, not the other woman who is double casted with Eugene)
Eugene's role in 'Innocent Steps' is the character of Chae Rin. She is the beautiful and innocent girl that Moon Geun Young portrayed in the movie version.
Chae Rin sets out to Seoul to pursue her older sister's (who leaves to pursue love) dream of success. Unlike her sister, who had continuously won at a dance competition, Chae Rin has never attempted any dance before in her life. She pays some men who turn out to be gang members to take her to Seoul and get threatened by them. This is when Young Jae enters the story. He had been failing in the dance sport world because of other competitors' conspiracies. Sensing compassion in the young Chae Rin, he teaches her dance day and night and prepares to enter a competition with her as his partner.
'Innocent Steps,' a musical that was born after two years of preparation, opened on the 29th of last month. It double-casts Eugene; the all-around entertainer who MCs, acts in dramas, and now even has a movie coming out, and Yang So Min; a master musical actress.
Eugene, Shining Dance Talent In Her First Musical
Former S.E.S. member Eugene (26) successfully finished her official declaration as a musical actress.
Eugene plays Chae Rin from the movie of the same name, 'Innocent Steps.'
Chae Rin became a popular character due to Moon Geun Young's portrayal of her with a cute country dialect and dance talent.
**** same thing about how musical was supposed to start on 3/31 bla bla rib injury etc... performance postponed to the 7th*** (sorry im just lazy, plus I've translated this many times before)
The recovery was slower than expected. But with the acting skills she had built over the years with her dramas, and her exceptional dancing and singing talent that had been accepted since her SES days, Eugene was able to perform without any problems.
S.E.S. members Bada and Shoo, as well as Eugene's other friends So Yoo Jin and Lee Min Ki came to the performance and cheered her on. Bada and Shoo, who had prior experience in musicals, especially cheered vigorously.
Shoo said she was "currently learning the Flamingo, but I fell in love with dance sport after watching Eugene's performance." She envied her friend, saying, "I want to play a role like Eugene's, so I could dance my heart out on the stage like her."
Bada also expressed her hope by saying, "the performance was so fun and interesting from beginning to end that I didn't even realize the time going by. This is the perfect example of a prediction of success" (sorry theres no good expression for the original, so it doesn't really make sense)
*** last part of article says Eugene and the other actors are casted in the show and where it's going to be performed***

Eugene-Ha Suk Jin Battle with Spiderman
'Unpreventable Marriage' (produced by Culture Cap Media, directed by Kim Song Ook); Eugene's movie debut with actor Ha Suk Jin, has been confirmed to open on May 10th.
May is filled with the openings of Hollywood blockbusters such as 'Spiderman 3' (the 1st) and 'Pirates of the Caribbean 3' (the 25th), putting pressure on Korean films planned to open during the same month.
Some movies scheduled to open in May are postponing their opening dates, showing their fear of the Hollywood competitors.
But <Unpreventable Marriage> has been decided to open on May 10th, bravely challenging <Spiderman 3> and <Pirates of the Caribbean- At World's End>.
The producing company showed confidence saying, "romantic comedies and action blockbusters have different target audiences, so if we go for the right market, it's worth a try to compete with them."
The movie is to provide a different kind of fun' with experienced actors Kim Soo Mi and Lim Chae Moo's explosive romance, Eugene and Ha Suk Jin as the fresh, bouncy, lovey-dovey couple, and Yoon Da Hoon and Ahn Yeon Hong's rich comedy act.
'Unpreventable Marriage' is being wrapped up with work such as last-minute poster filming, and the starring actors are pumped up (? or i guess ambitious) to promote their movie.
