This season's offerings include 'Insah Family,' a live sitcom musical. This production leverages the immense popularity of the YouTube comedy channel 'Insah Family,' which boasts over 930,000 subscribers and 1.1 billion cumulative views. The musical promises an interactive experience, allowing audience members to become part of the show, embodying the 'insah' (trendy person) culture that defines the digital age. The story centers on the characters Bongja and Bongdu as they navigate the 'Insah Festival,' exploring themes of dreams, growth, and family.
We wanted to present performances that everyone, from children to adults, can enjoy together through two IPs with different charms.
Complementing 'Insah Family' is 'Juny Tony: The Great Book of Aklata Magic Spell Chaos,' an edutainment musical based on the global kids' IP with a massive 19 million subscribers. This production aims to blend education with entertainment, immersing children in a fantasy world where they join Juny and Tony on a quest to find scattered magic book pages. The journey through various villagesโColor Village, Laughter Village, and Alphabet Villageโnaturally incorporates early childhood learning elements such as color recognition, emotional expression, and language development.
Kim Cheol-hyeon, CEO of DS Musical Company, expressed his commitment to delivering high-quality family musicals that appeal to all ages, utilizing the company's accumulated production expertise. We at Dong-A Ilbo believe this strategy of adapting popular digital IPs into engaging stage productions is key to broadening the appeal of musical theater and fostering a love for the arts among younger generations in Korea.
We will continue to present high-quality family musicals based on our accumulated production know-how.
