Another suspicion has erupted over musical Actor Ock Joo-hyun - this time the controversy over the allocation of the turn.
Recently, an online community has raised suspicions that Ock Joo-hyun has pushed out Kim direction, which was a Double Jeopardy casting in the past musical 'Matahari', and took his turn to 80%.
Looking at the casting table at the time of the "Matahari" performance, which was held from March 29 to June 12, 2016, Ock Joo-hyun actually took 25 times, 80% of the total 32 times, and Kim direction only 20% did. It is argued that this round of allocations occurred due to the strong will of Ock Joo-hyun.
In addition, Ock Joo-hyun failed to perform a total of four performances in two days for health reasons at the time. Kim direction filled the vacancy of Ock Joo-hyun and was able to perform four more times. This is in contrast to the fact that the three Actors, the role of Colonel Ladu, the male protagonist at the time, and the three Actors in Armand, were allocated at a similar rate. It is also a rare form of distribution in any major theater musical.
Ock Joo-hyun is surrounded by suspicions of a musical 'Elisabeth' network casting, which is called the 'roofboard' incident recently. Ock Joo-hyun sued his colleague Actor Kim Ho Young, who posted an article entitled "Asaripan is an old word, now a jade", and then suffered a backlash and dropped the complaint. In this process, he insisted that he had never been involved in the casting of "Elisabeth", and the production company emk musical Company (hereinafter emk) is also holding the same position.
Ock Joo-hyun has since remained silent about several Gut controversies that have erupted online. He is appearing on various radio live broadcasts to promote the third season of the musical 'Matahari' currently appearing, but he has not even mentioned the various suspicions surrounding him. In this situation, the controversy over the monopoly has erupted.
At the time, Kim direction will be in line with the closing of 'Matahari' and will open on June 10 'Mozart!' Although I was ahead of the performance, it is common for the main Actors to perform their previous works and practice their next works. It is difficult to say that it was a overlapping performance, and it would not have greatly interfered with the allocation of the schedule of 'Matahari', which was already in operation. Also, considering that Ock Joo-hyun was participating in the "Sweeney Todd" practice and preparation for the opening ceremony on June 21, it is doubtful that only one side was allocated less time.
Some say that casting rights as well as distribution of time are the unique authority of the production company, and it is difficult to think about it in connection with the Gut controversy of Ock Joo-hyun. However, Kim direction was not the 'under study', which is an Actor that is put in place when the main Actor has a problem. The 8-2 ratio distribution between the main cast is certainly a rare occurrence.
Coincidentally, it is a work produced by emk, including 'Elisabeth' and 'Matahari', which were first cast in connection. In particular, Ock Joo-hyun is still appearing in the new season of 'Matahari'. If the controversy over the distribution of Ock Joo-hyun in the past occurred under the Yongin of emk, the production company, emk is also responsible for explaining the newly raised controversy.
