  • Actress KIM Yun-jin Stands on American Stage
  • by KIM Su-bin /  Aug 01, 2017
  • KIM Stars as North Korean Defector in Musical Play WILD GOOSE DREAMS
     

    Actress KIM Yun-jin will take to the stage in the United States when she stars in Wild Goose Dreams which will run at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego, California from September 10th to October 1st, 2017. KIM used to perform on stage before she began acting in Korea, but it has taken 20 years for her to return to the stage again. 

    Wild Goose Dreams is a musical play set in Seoul. KIM will play YOO Nan-hee, a North Korean defector who falls in love with a South Korean man she meets online while his family is abroad. Opposite of KIM will be Korean American actor James Kyson Lee performing the role of GOOK Min-sung. 

    Wild Goose Dreams will be directed by Leigh Silverman, who has directed more than 30 Broadway plays including Jeanine Tesori, Violet and Chinglish. Silverman has received two Obie Awards (Off-Broadway Theater Awards) and was nominated for a Tony award in 2014. The play was written by Korean playwright JUNG Han-sol, who has translated and directed both in the U.S. and in Korea. “It’s been a long time since I’ve performed on stage, I have butterflies in my stomach from the burden of the premiere, and I’m frightened, but I look at this opportunity that I have been given as another challenge for me in my life as an actress” KIM Yun-jin said through her agency, ZYON Entertainment.
