Korean musical 'Maybe Happy Ending' wins Best Book at Tony Awards
The Korean original musical "Maybe Happy Ending" won Best Book of a Musical at the Tony Awards, a first for a Korean production in this category.
The musical brought home the honor from the 78th annual Tony Awards, celebrating excellence in live Broadway theater, held at Radio City Music Hall in New York on Sunday.
Starring Darren Criss and Helen J Shen in its Broadway production, the musical follows Oliver and Claire, two obsolete helper-bots living in near-future Seoul, who develop an unlikely connection while exploring the possibilities of their existence.
Originally premiering in Seoul in 2016, this critically acclaimed show has been staged multiple times in Korea due to its popularity and made its Broadway debut last November, opening at the Belasco Theatre in Manhattan, New York. Its US run has been extended through Jan. 17, 2026. (Yonhap)

Frieze House Seoul to open in September inviting galleries
Korean artist Im Young-joo wins 2025 Frieze Seoul Artist Award Coinciding with the fourth edition of Frieze Seoul in September, the international art fair will launch Frieze House Seoul, inviting leading galleries to hold exhibitions and events there during the four-day event. The exhibition space will be located in Yaksu-dong, a neighborhood in Jung-gu, central Seoul, at a building renovated by Seoul-based architectural studio Samuso Hyoja. Frieze House Seoul follows the success of No. 9 Cork Street in London, according to Frieze on Wednesday. 'Frieze House Seoul marks a natural and exciting evolution of our presence in Korea. Seoul has become a focal point for the global art world, and this new space will allow us to foster deeper engagement with the city's vibrant art communities throughout the year,' said Kristell Chade, executive director of fairs at Frieze. The space will consist of two main exhibition spaces across four floors, offering over 210 square meters of display space, and a landscaped garden. Galleries can apply for the inaugural season of Frieze House Seoul on the Frieze website. Frieze Seoul 2025 will be held from Sept. 3 to 6, bringing together some 120 galleries from 30 countries at COEX in Gangnam-gu, southern Seoul. Meanwhile, Frieze announced Korean artist Im Young-joo as the recipient of the Frieze Seoul Artist Award of the year. This year, works for the Frieze Artist Award in both Seoul and London respond to the theme of "Future Commons," with new multimedia works that explore ideas of community and shared experience. 'Her work, 'Calming Signal,' offers a profound exploration of collective behavior and societal rhythms, resonating deeply with our 2025 theme, 'Future Commons.' Im's innovative approach and compelling narrative exemplify the dynamic talent emerging from Korea's contemporary art scene,' said Patrick Lee, director of Frieze Seoul. Im's winning commission, "Calming Signal," is a research-based, three-channel video installation set within a grid-like structure, which juxtaposes Earth's tilted axis with rotational cultural dances, linking gestures of imbalance to visual manifestations of an uncertain future.

SBS sets sights on Asia's version of Eurovision
Titled 'Veiled Musician,' the pan-Asian vocal contest to highlight regional talent and cross-cultural artistry Asia is getting its own take on the Eurovision Song Contest. Apparently, 'Veiled Musician,' an upcoming global audition show from leading South Korean broadcaster Seoul Broadcasting System, was made with the world's longest-running television music competition in mind. Featuring participants from 13 countries — Korea, Japan, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Mongolia, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar and Laos — the show, slated to premiere later this year, will kick off with local competitions in each participating nation. The top three finalists from each territory will then advance to the grand finale, which will be staged in Korea. The show will be broadcast across major local networks in the participating countries and on SBS. Adding a layer of meritocracy, 'Veiled Musician' will strip away personal identifiers, such as contestants' faces and nationalities, focusing solely on vocal talent. The show stands out not only for its scale but also for its production setup. Unlike previous cross-border projects where broadcasting formats were simply licensed, 'Veiled Musician' is a co-produced venture spearheaded by the participating nations, alongside South Korea. 'In fact, there aren't really any broadcasters in other countries that actually do co-productions," claimed Kim Yong-jae, chief revenue officer at SBS' Prism Studios, the entertainment production division of the broadcaster, during an interview with The Korea Herald. "They've only ever bought the format. ... Co-producing like this is probably something that has never happened before,' Kim said. Kim, a veteran of the Korean entertainment industry, whose career includes stints as a producer and deputy head of SBS' entertainment division and who is widely credited with exporting the popular Korean variety show "Running Man" to China, where it became a megahit, is helming the production of "Veiled Musician." According to Kim, 'Veiled Musician' will serve as a powerful platform for cultural diplomacy and create music industry connections across Asia. 'If we do well together with this kind of content, it's an amazing opportunity to really elevate our national image. Also, the show's judges and contestants may even collaborate on producing an album. Our music market could expand as a result as well. For example, a song like 'The Way Back' (translated) could be produced in 12 different versions and exported, creating a powerful ripple effect,' said Kim. Kim emphasized that for him, a win-win structure was key from the outset. For Season 1, he said SBS is waiving format fees and offering financial aid to select nations. 'For the first season, we're essentially offering support. In fact, we're planning to provide 100 million won ($73,000) each to countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, since they (the broadcasting companies) are struggling financially.' Going forward, as SBS' head of globalizing K-content, Kim said he has identified Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand as key growth markets. 'Among them, Indonesia is the best — it all comes down to population size. For example, the Korean film 'Miracle in Cell No. 7' made 20 billion won in Indonesia." Kim is also strategically focusing on Myanmar, where Korean content previously held strong cultural sway. 'Before the coup, Hallyu was really strong in Myanmar. Why? Because they aired Korean dramas from Monday to Thursday right before the 9 o'clock news. As a result, a lot of young people there can speak Korean. And the country is quite large geographically, too." He added: 'Anyway, we need to move quickly and localize ourselves in these Asian countries — be on the ground with them. We need to support them, not just for 'Veiled Musician,' but also by helping develop their music industries while promoting ours. That's how they come to think positively of Korean content and Korea as a whole."

Music in PyeongChang returns with timely theme: ‘Inter Harmony'
The 22nd edition to offer 21 concerts, 14 outreach programs and educational projects The 22nd edition of Music in PyeongChang kicks off next month in Gangwon Province, exploring the timely theme of 'Inter Harmony," offering 21 mainstage concerts that bridge cultures, eras and musical traditions. Under the direction of cellist Yang Sung-won, the 11-day festival presents music inspired by encounters across cultures and generations. 'There's so much anger building in the world right now. That's why we need music that channels inspiration — works born from encounters with other regions, other folk traditions,' Yang said during a press conference. A total of 21 concerts, nine outreach concerts, five family outreach concerts and educational programs will be offered from July 23 to Aug. 2 at PyeongChang Alpensia Concert Hall, Music Tent in Daegwallyeong and various locations throughout Gangwon Province. "Some of the artists you'll hear may be familiar, while others may be new to you. Even for those you've heard before, it would be rare to experience them in the particular combinations you'll see here in PyeongChang. I've worked to bring a sense of freshness by pairing well-known artists with others in unexpected ways. My aim was to carefully structure the program by balancing internationally recognized names, artists visiting Korea for the first time, and those who appear only occasionally," he explained. Among the headliners are violinist Akiko Suwanai, cellist Bruno Cocset, pianist Kim Su-yeon and tenor Robin Tritschler, each appearing in uniquely curated programs. The celebrated Irish soprano Ailish Tynan makes her Korean debut in a recital that blends French melodie and Irish folk, while Brannon Cho and Chaowen Luo represent a new generation of globally acclaimed string soloists. Violinists Park Ji-yoon and Im Ji-young, and violist Kim Sang-jin return alongside rising stars such as Yulia Deyneka, Rei Tsujimoto and Emmanuel Strosser, forming part of the festival's signature ensemble initiatives like the PyeongChang Dream Team and Festival Strings. Baroque specialists Les Basses Reunies join from Europe, and woodwind virtuosos, including Kim Han, Kim Yu-bin and Ricardo Silva, anchor concerts that push the boundaries between tradition and innovation. Highlights of the 11-day festival range from Mahler's monumental Symphony No. 2 'Resurrection' for the opening night on July 23, to the Korean premiere of Britten's haunting chamber opera "The Turn of the Screw: Secrets and Specters." Throughout the 11-day festival, audiences will also encounter Spanish and Latin American traditions reimagined by guitarist Jose Maria Gallardo del Rey, the modernist wit of Stravinsky's "Pulcinella and The Soldier's Tale" and the emotional depth of chamber works by Elgar, Ravel and Chausson. Newly formed ensembles such as the PyeongChang Festival Strings and the PyeongChang Festival Chamber Orchestra offer fresh interpretations of classic and contemporary works, including Vaughan Williams' "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" and Shostakovich's Cello Concerto No. 2. The program also features the Asia premiere of David Maslanka's Wind Quintet No. 3. Committed to putting on world-class performances across Gangwon Province, the outreach program offers opportunities for local communities and residents to connect with Music in PyeongChang. This year, a total of nine concerts will be held from July 25 to July 30 in five cities and counties: Donghae, Cheorwon, PyeongChang, Gangneung and Jeongseon. The ensemble Les Bons Becs, made up of four clarinetists and one percussionist, delivers performances that seamlessly blend music with playful choreography, offering an experience that's enjoyable for all ages. Designed as a relaxed and family-friendly experience, this concert series will take place from July 29 to Aug. 2 in five locations: Yangyang, Hoengseong, Taebaek, Inje and Pyeongchang. Regarding the chamber ensemble mentorship program and master classes, Yang emphasized that these educational programs are not meant to improve technical skill. 'I asked the musicians to share their experiences in a way that encourages attentive listening and helps participants grasp the language of composers. The Music Academy in PyeongChang is not about helping students play their instruments better or win competitions. Rather, it's an academy dedicated to deepening one's understanding of music as an art form,' he added.
