Play: Sumire’s Hair Salon

Director Chong Wishing's finale of the Zainichi Korean trilogy, the play <Sumire’s Hair Salon>, is coming to the stage of Sejong Center! 🎭 Set in 'Arirang Pass', a coal mining town in Kyushu, Japan in 1965, it portrays the heartbreaking lives and warm neighborly love of Koreans who could not return to their homeland after the Japanese colonial period. Meet the brilliant vitality of those who steadfastly endured each day despite the cold history they had to go through on stage. ✨ It conveys the thread of life they did not let go of even in the fierce vortex, and the daily lives of Zainichi Koreans of that era, which were weary but sweet, with delicate directing and a deep resonance.
