Women at center stage: ‘Frida,' 'Marie Curie' and ‘Wicked'
For this summer, meet complex, resilient women — real and fictional — who stand at the forefront of musical storytelling, each backed by a proven track record on stage and in the hearts of audiences. 'Frida' "Frida," presented as a talk show, tells the fierce life story of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907–1954). Frida's short life of only 47 years was filled with pain. Polio left her right leg underdeveloped at six, and a bus accident at 18 led to over 30 surgeries. She married muralist Diego Rivera, 21 years her senior, but suffered a miscarriage and his affair with her sister. Premiered in 2022, the Korean musical captures Frida's physical and emotional torment through sharp ambulance sirens, vivid stage colors and powerful performances. Now in its third run, "Frida" plays from June 17 to Sept. 7 at Nol Uniplex in Daehagno, Seoul's theater district. Performed in Korean; subtitles are not available. 'Marie Curie' "Marie Curie" blends imagination with the true story of the pioneering scientist (1867–1934), who achieved groundbreaking accomplishments despite the challenges she faced as a woman and an immigrant. The musical stages an imagined encounter between Curie — who discovered radium, won the Nobel Prize, and illuminated the world — and the 'Radium Girls,' young female factory workers who suffered tragic fates painting luminous dials. Since its 2018 premiere, "Marie Curie" has proven its impact both at home and abroad, with performances in Poland, Curie's birthplace, in 2022, and a successful West End run in London last year. Its fourth season, featuring powerhouse vocalists Kim So-hyang, Park Hye-na, Kim Ryeo-won and Ock Joo-hyun, runs from July 25 to Oct. 19 at Kwanglim Arts Center in Gangnam, Seoul. Performed in Korean; subtitles are not available. 'Wicked" "Wicked" returns to Korea this week with its international tour cast performing the beloved musical in its original English, marking its first visit in 13 years since its 2012 Korean debut. It reimagines the untold story of the witches of Oz, offering a fresh perspective on the classic tale of "The Wizard of Oz." With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, the musical explores the complex friendship between Elphaba, a misunderstood, green-skinned witch, and Glinda, a popular and ambitious witch. Premiered in 2003 on Broadway, "Wicked" has become one of the most successful musicals in the world, surpassing $6 billion in global ticket sales. It has been staged in 16 countries, produced in six different languages and won more than 100 international awards. For the first time, the musical will tour three Korean cities, opening at Seoul's Blue Square Theater before moving to Busan's Dream Theater in November and concluding at Daegu's Keimyung Art Center in January 2026. In Seoul, "Wicked" will run from July 12 to Oct. 26 at Blue Square in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. gypark@

Kim Soo-ja awarded France's Officier of Arts and Letters for global artistic contributions
Renowned for her "Bottari" works, the Korean artist receives France's second-highest cultural honor Kim Soo-ja, the internationally acclaimed Korean artist often referred to as the 'Bottari artist,' has been awarded the Officier medal of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of Arts and Letters) by the French government in recognition of her contributions to global art and cultural exchange. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said Friday that Kim received the honor during a ceremony held Wednesday at the residence of the French ambassador to Korea in Seoul. The Order of Arts and Letters was established by the French Ministry of Culture in 1957 to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the arts and culture in France and around the world. The award has three grades: Commandeur (Commander), Officier (Officer) and Chevalier (Knight). Kim was previously named a Chevalier in 2017 and has now been elevated to the second-highest rank, Officier. Kim is widely known for reinterpreting traditional Korean textiles — such as bojagi (wrapping cloth) and bedding — into contemporary visual language. Although she has received attention in Korea, her work has been especially prominent on the global stage. Her promotion to Officier reflects her ongoing creative work and her role in fostering cross-cultural dialogue between France, Korea, and the broader international art community. Her signature series, "Bottari" — meaning "bundle" in Korean — uses fabric-wrapped objects to explore themes of migration, displacement, mobility and memory. Through this concept, Kim contemplates both Korean identity and universal human conditions, earning her widespread acclaim in the contemporary art world. Born in 1957, Kim studied painting at Hongik University in Seoul and learned lithography at the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts in France in 1984. She has since represented Korea in major international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale, the Lyon Biennale, and the Sao Paulo Biennale.

'K-pop Demon Hunters' cast and directors break down Netflix hit's worldbuilding
Behind-the-scenes clip reveals the creative process behind the chart-dominating animated phenomenon The creative team behind Netflix's record-breaking animated hit "K-pop Demon Hunters" pulled back the curtain on their demon-slaying spectacle in a new behind-the-scenes video released Friday. Directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, alongside voice stars Arden Cho, May Hong, Yoo Ji-young and Ahn Hyo-seop, dished on everything from character design to cultural representation in the clip, which details the meticulous world-building that went into the project. "I've always wanted to make an animated movie set in Korea that really showcased our culture and our mythology," said Kang, noting how demons provided the visual spectacle while K-pop became "the last ingredient in the concept." When Appelhans first heard the pitch, his reaction was instant: "Please let me make this movie with you because I love all those things." The film follows Huntrix, a girl group that secretly protects the world from demons using music and dance. Cho, who voices the lead character Rumi, praised her character's mix of strength and style. "Rumi slays demons, sings, is gorgeous, has killer fashion sense. I love her luscious purple hair. She's edgy and hip but still kind of girly," Cho said. Hong described her character Mira as "a skeptic, rebellious, sarcastic," while Yoo highlighted "maknae" — the youngest member of the group — Zoey's "professional obligation to be the cutest and the most energetic." The cast couldn't help but gush about their demonic boy band rivals, the Saja Boys. "We hate the Saja Boys, but darn them for being so cute," Cho joked, while Hong admitted that everyone on set was humming their infectious track "Soda Pop." The directors clearly had fun with them too, with Kang joking about lighting decisions: "How do we light these abs so that we can really enjoy them?" Beyond the eye candy, the team stressed their commitment to authentic Korean representation. "Seeing it altogether, it just touched me," Hong said of showing the Korean American experience on screen. The film's attention to cultural detail shines through its depiction of bustling Seoul's Gangnam streets, authentic Korean comfort food and traditional mythology woven throughout the narrative. The soundtrack includes tracks by K-pop superstar Twice, a collaboration Kang called "really awesome" for "legitimiz(ing) the film in the K-pop space." And the film's reach has spilled well beyond the Netflix platform. Seven tracks from the soundtrack are currently charting on the Billboard Hot 100, with 'Golden' peaking at No. 23, while the full album sits at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 —making it the highest-charting soundtrack of the year. moonkihoon@
