Singer and actress Ock Joo-hyun is smiling as she attends the press conference of the movie ‘Cats’ held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Seoul on the afternoon of the 23rd.
The musical ‘Anna Karenina’ is facing controversy over its casting ahead of its performance. Ock Joo-hyun, who was previously embroiled in the “Okjangpan controversy” due to casting based on personal connections, is once again at the center of the debate.
Recently, after the casting schedule for the musical ‘Anna Karenina’ was announced, controversy erupted. The main role of Anna has been triple-cast with Ock Joo-hyun, Lee Ji-hye, and Kim So-hyang, with a five-week schedule initially revealed. In this situation, Ock Joo-hyun’s number of performances is overwhelming. Out of 38 performances, Ock Joo-hyun appears in 25, while Lee Ji-hye is scheduled for 8, and Kim So-hyang for 7. Even when combining the appearances of Lee Ji-hye and Kim So-hyang, they do not match Ock Joo-hyun’s total. Ock Joo-hyun has monopolized more than half of the performances.
