Park Hyo-shin Returns to The Phantom After 9 Years A Triumphant Comeback https://sports.khan.co.kr/article/202506021018003?pt=nv Korean musical fans are celebrating the long-awaited return of Park Hyo-shin to the stage. On June 1st, the beloved singer and actor made a powerful comeback in the opening performance of the grand finale season of The Phantom at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Seoul. This marks his return to the iconic role after nine years, his last appearance dating back to 2016. https://sports.khan.co.kr/article/202506021018003?pt=nv According to the production company, EMK Musical Company, Park Hyo-shin captivated the audience with his signature emotional depth, powerful vocals, and refined acting. His portrayal of the Phantom—a tortured musical genius hiding beneath the opera house—was both haunting and moving. Audiences were visibly touched by the layers of solitude and artistic suffering he brought to the character. Based on Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera, the musical version of The Phantom stands out for its unique blend of opera, ballet, and drama. Park's return to the stage has added a special energy to the show’s fifth and final season, with many noting a deeper and more mature performance compared to his 2016 portrayal. After the curtain call, Park shared his emotions: “I’m happy to be back on stage for the 10th anniversary of the original production. The long break was daunting, but I’ve prepared thoroughly. I hope this will be a meaningful time for everyone involved until the final show.” Audience members echoed his sentiments, praising the performance as a magical revival of the original. “It felt like reliving the magic from nine years ago,” one attendee shared. Others highlighted how Park’s ad-libs and subtle acting details brought new life to the character. Originally a blockbuster hit in 2015 and 2016, The Phantom topped ticket sales and won the Grand Prize at the 11th Golden Ticket Awards. Now celebrating its fifth and final season, the show runs at the Sejong Center’s Grand Theater through August 11. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the world of Korean musicals, Park Hyo-shin’s return is a performance you won’t want to miss. #ParkHyoShin #ThePhantom #KoreanMusical #SejongCenter #LivePerformance #MusicalPhantom #박효신 #팬텀뮤지컬 #뮤지컬추천 #세종문화회관 #뮤지컬 #뮤지컬스타 #라이브공연 #팬텀 #박효신컴백 #뮤지컬배우 #한국뮤지컬 #공연추천 #뮤지컬팬텀 #박효신라이브 #SeoulMusical #PhantomMusical #MusicalThePhantom #뮤지컬팬 #팬텀컴백 #공연소식 #뮤지컬소식 #공연리뷰 #감성뮤지컬 #명품공연 All rights reserved Stay14 Bespoke
