00:01This program will be available on demand.
00:12Taiga Kyomoto is traveling in Seoul, South Korea.
00:18What is the purpose?
00:21The first Maybe Happy Ending was shown here.
00:24Oh, really?
00:28The dream of theater professionals worldwide
00:31Tony Show
00:40Last year, the prestigious Musical Production Award was given to...
00:46It was Korea's first Maybe Happy Ending.
01:03The setting is near-future South Korea.
01:05A work depicting a poignant and heartwarming form of love between humanoid robots.
01:10teeth
01:10They won a record-breaking six awards that year.
01:16The first work created in Asia to win a Tony Show award.
01:20And so it happened.
01:26Live broadcast on June 8th
01:29Tony Show Awards
01:32I will be participating again this year as a special supporter.
01:34Kyomoto-san
01:36Let's go
01:39The secret behind the creation of Maybe Happy Ending
01:43I went to South Korea to investigate.
02:02This is the second part of the trip.
02:06Educational institutions that form the foundation of musical culture
02:12The South Korean government is leading the effort to support creators.
02:15We also delved into the reality of the support provided.
02:18Of course, from here on out
02:20Are they perhaps aiming for something like a Tony Award?
02:24Will the next Maybe be born?
02:28A journey to explore that possibility
02:31I'll enjoy having this
02:33Delicious!
02:35Kyomoto Tiger Hello Tony 2026
02:42In this program
02:43Maybe a happy ending follows
02:45Can South Korea produce its first Tony Show-winning production?
02:49We'll approach this using three keywords.
02:53First, drama education at national universities.
03:00Currently, more than 300 musicals are performed annually in Seoul, South Korea.
03:04So
03:07Some have even expanded overseas, such as to the West End in the UK.
03:11Some works have been created in this way.
03:17Where does this momentum in the Korean musical scene come from?
03:21Are you there?
03:23Kyomoto-san has just arrived, and is now in the midst of a Korean musical.
03:30I was told I would be able to see the actual setting of drama education, so I'll go to the university.
03:37Visit
03:40Oh, it's written there.
03:42Korea National University of the Arts
03:47Korea National University of Arts was founded in 1993.
03:54There are more than 20 schools in South Korea where you can study the arts.
03:59but
04:01This is the only arts university run by the government.
04:08It is divided into six departments, including music, theater, and film.
04:15It has produced many famous actors who have appeared in movies and dramas.
04:20He is also one of Korea's top elites in the field of musicals.
04:24It's an art school.
04:28The person who will give you a tour of this school is
04:39I teach practical musical production at a university.
04:43Professor Choi Jung-yoon
04:48Maybe Happy Ending
04:51A current creative who also interacts with Will and Hugh
04:55It is also a ter.
04:59When I was given a tour of the school building...
05:01Stylish
05:03various
05:06Is this that thing?
05:07Are these photos of artwork created at this university?
05:22Even just from the photos, you can sense the depth of the performance.
05:25Na
05:25There are so many photos that give a real sense of realism.
05:36The graduation project at this school is
05:38Not only school and student personnel
05:42It seems anyone can see it.
05:45Sometimes people involved in theater come to see it.
05:48The works are performed in an environment that is just like that of a professional.
06:20These F-floor
06:22There are 16 workplaces within the school.
06:26And this time, especially
06:28I was also given the opportunity to observe the classes.
06:33During class
06:34Thank you for your valuable time.
06:51This is a class on musical theory and history.
06:57As a happy ending
06:59The present era, the era in which one was born.
07:04In my time
07:06Therefore, imagination is difficult.
07:09Isn't that right?
07:10and
07:13What constitutes a happy ending?
07:15This can sometimes make things difficult.
07:25It seems like the style is that the teacher does most of the talking and the students listen.
07:29That's what I thought.
07:30We got quite a bit of feedback from the students too.
07:33The teachers and students are close and engage in discussions.
07:37Relationships like that
07:39As the teacher said, musicals have happy endings.
07:42There are a lot of things that are
07:44There was a lot of content that made me think about things like, "Yes, there's that aspect to it."
07:48I did
07:50And it's a place where you can feel the passion this school has for performing arts.
07:55but
07:57Oh oh
08:00Wow, isn't the depth of that stage incredible?
08:07The school's largest theater, boasting 526 seats.
08:13This large stage is used not only for plays but also for dance and opera.
08:18degree
08:18They say they can handle any kind of performance.
08:22It feels like there's no stage presence here.
08:25Looking at it from here
08:27I want to know what I want to say
08:31So you're saying you sometimes come here too?
08:33The performer is right in front of me
08:36The actors are right there in front of you on this stage
08:40Not only that
09:02The lighting and sound systems are also top-notch, comparable to those of professionals.
09:12What is the monitor for this side?
09:15The monitor is the monitor.
09:18I want to know what I want to say
09:20I want to know what to do
09:24I want to know what I want to know
09:28I want to use a monitor.
09:32I see
09:37Classes where you can learn theory and practice
09:40Excellent facilities
09:42And this university
09:44The most important thing
09:45There was a philosophy.
09:48I'm here
09:49The one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is
09:52I want to know what I want to know
09:54I want to know what I want to say
09:56Partner name
09:58It's time to go to school
10:00It's a good idea
10:01I'm in love with you
10:04What is competition?
10:06Creators engage in thorough discussions to enhance their work.
10:10Technology
10:13Classes here emphasize competition.
10:19This class is symbolic.
10:28This class teaches the practical aspects of musical production.
10:40Composers and writers change partners each week.
10:46We are literally creating works in competition.
11:13Actually, I learned these ideas in America.
11:16Korean creators brought back the know-how.
11:20It was nurtured
11:23These are former instructors and graduates of the Korea National University of Arts.
11:30Lee Min-hee attended New York University and studied musical theater.
11:34Learn
11:35I used to teach at the Korea National University of Arts.
11:46Now I'm working as a music director for musicals.
11:49I wonder why we can look forward to musicals.
11:55You can
11:59I wonder if you can look forward to our work.
12:00It is considered important to come to school.
12:06The works of the two artists do not forget their own perspectives.
12:20Many hit musicals have been
12:24Created through collaboration between a writer and a composer.
12:28It is
12:31Will & Few
12:33I was able to discover the masterpiece that is Maybe Happy Ending.
12:37The reason
12:53I try to understand the feelings of people from various fields in a sense.
12:56Gara
12:57We will create things together while being considerate of each other.
12:59I also believe that communication is truly important.
13:01I think so
13:02That's a really wonderful way of making things.
13:05Education that emphasizes collaboration
13:08This is one of the reasons why the Korean theater scene has a rich foundation.
13:13That was
13:17Now, Kyomoto, who is being interviewed, takes a little detour.
13:24Kyomoto-san after finishing her interview at the university.
13:27Walking around the streets of Seoul
13:31amazing
13:34Is it 24 hours?
13:35Ramen convenience store
13:38It's written there.
13:40It says 24
13:42Shall we go in for a bit?
13:45Awesome
13:46picture
13:50There are specialty shops that sell instant noodles.
13:54Esugo
13:56This kind of shop doesn't exist in Japan.
13:58I've never seen it before.
14:01Actually, in Korea, people eat instant noodles along the banks of the river that flows through the city.
14:08The ramen shop called Hangishi Ramen is extremely popular.
14:13This shop is a place where you can easily experience instant noodles in the city.
14:19It's a lume spot.
14:21Oops, mild
14:23Choose the type of noodles from the vending machine.
14:28I wonder what flavor this is.
14:31Is this it?
14:36Take the instant noodles from the shelf.
14:41I actually like instant noodles.
14:43You know how there's salt ramen in everyday life?
14:47I eat things like that.
14:51And most of the toppings here are free.
14:56You want some green onions, right?
14:59Add this much green onion.
15:03Then you pour in the hot water.
15:06Yes, there is.
15:10What do you choose?
15:12You choose the boiling time depending on the firmness and type of noodles.
15:19Press M2
15:22Oh, this one, I made a mistake, this one, it's started.
15:28I'm the kind of person who just goes with the flow in these kinds of situations, so it just started out of nowhere.
15:30circle
15:32The key point is that the dish is also heated from below by a heater.
15:38It will have a finish similar to something that has been boiled in a pot.
15:44Half-face ramen that can be made in no time
15:48So, what does it taste like?
15:57Delicious!
16:00It was still a bit cold outside for this time of year.
16:03It soaks in, doesn't it?
16:04There's no shrimp broth-like flavor.
16:06It might have a seafood flavor.
16:08It has a really deep flavor.
16:10It's hard to believe it was made just by adding hot water.
16:13Yeah
16:20This is incredibly delicious
16:23After enjoying some hidden gem gourmet spots
16:27Let's return to our journey to uncover the secrets of Korean musicals.
16:34Will South Korea produce the next Tony Award-winning production?
16:38Three keywords that explore that possibility
16:42Next, government support for distribution policies.
16:51I visited a place where I could see the reality of the situation.
17:07Japanese Art Clearam
17:09I came to the Art Clearam competition.
17:11What kind of facility is it?
17:12Without saying a word, Art Clearam
17:14Supporting Art Clearam ootю
17:18Art Clearance is also available to large institutions.
17:20We support many departments.
17:21Rather, the ending of the Calafy
17:23Then there are the wonderful works
17:25And to all kinds of large institutions
17:36This lab is run by the Korea Arts Management Support Center, a national organization.
17:44It is operated by [company name].
17:53Financial assistance is also important.
17:56We rent out a corner of our office to arts-related organizations.
17:59There are various ways to provide support, such as [examples of support methods].
18:15This is a shooting tool for compositing images on a computer screen.
18:19This is Tazio. We are also a group, and we are musical
18:25Green screens are quite familiar to me, especially in music videos.
18:28But how much does it cost to rent this place?
19:03I also make songs and do DTM (Desktop Music) on my own, so on weekends
19:10I really admire how he spends all his time holed up doing things like this.
19:13hey
19:33The Korea Arts Management Support Center provides another important form of support.
19:37That's what K Musical Market is all about.
19:46We invited domestic and international stakeholders to present an original Korean work.
19:50This is a large-scale event where you can see it firsthand.
20:08A chance for Korean works to spread their wings to the world, provided by a national institution.
20:13They were creating it.
20:19I have a good impression of the original Korean app software.
20:21Have you taken any of these exams?
20:23I'm watching.
20:27We need to know about the Korean market.
20:28Have you had any contact with someone who seems like that?
20:31I received invaluable support from someone who was in a similar situation.
20:36I remember the original Korean app software well.
20:37That's what's happening.
20:39I often use the original Korean app software.
20:41There is important support available.
20:47In addition to support for overseas expansion, there is also support for the creation of artworks.
20:55There were Japanese people who received that support from the South Korean government.
21:09This is author Eri Yoshida.
21:12Actually, this person
21:17In Daehak-ro, South Korea's most competitive theater district
21:22He achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first foreigner to hold a performance.
21:26That's
21:29Ms. Yoshida is a graduate of the Korea National University of Arts, which I mentioned earlier.
21:34businessman
21:37Apparently, the work he created there led to his debut.
21:44Well, I thought a debut would be impossible.
21:47My parents came to see it.
21:49I'll have them take home all their summer clothes.
21:51I was thinking, "I'm going home now."
21:54I was fortunate enough to receive an offer from one company that wanted to work on a project for me.
22:00tree
22:01What kind of support did Ms. Yoshida receive from the South Korean government?
22:08It was last year.
22:09This is a national support project run by the South Korean government.
22:14Creative support program, arts support program
22:18I applied to a scriptwriting workshop.
22:21I was selected and received an award.
22:25Support projects that have been underway since 2008
22:29Creative calculation
22:32One of these programs offers prize money for outstanding screenplays.
22:37There is
22:40In terms of prize money, the writer and composer combined received 20 million yen.
22:46Divided into 10 million for writers and 10 million for composers.
22:50Ultimately, the country should focus its efforts on soft power.
22:54Let's go
22:56I think it's very clear.
22:59After all, people who perform in musicals are also artists.
23:02Artists don't have much money after all.
23:05That's wonderful; I'm grateful to have so many opportunities.
23:10An environment where creators can concentrate on creating their work.
23:14Government support is backing them up.
23:20Will the next South Korean work to win the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Award be produced?
23:24Three keywords that explore that possibility
23:28Finally, a South Korean production aiming to expand overseas.
23:36He also worked on the Korean version of Maybe Happy Ending.
23:39keda
23:40Major entertainment company, CJ ENM
23:45New projects are also underway with an eye on overseas expansion.
23:49It is in progress.
23:50The Korean and Asian premium versions are premium.
23:53The Korean version of Maybe Happy Ending is
23:58I'm watching the Korean version of Maybe Happy Ending.
24:09That's
24:16The source material used was this film previously produced by CJ ENM.
24:26Broadway, known for hairspray, emergency boots, etc.
24:30The director of the film
24:31Teaming up with Jerry Mitchell, to create a stage adaptation.
24:34We are proceeding with this.
25:03And actually, a Broadway director
25:20Mr. Hon is a producer of musical works.
25:37The project was undertaken in 1969, the same year Apollo 11 was launched.
25:45A young man who time-traveled to 2020 finds himself in the past where his girlfriend awaits him.
25:50A story about searching for a way back.
25:57We showcased this work in New York last year.
26:01That's what happened.
26:04This work was also performed as a showcase on Broadway.
26:07I heard that it was done.
26:10If you'd like to know about the process that led to it, and any difficulties or challenges you faced, please share them.
26:14Please tell us.
26:16This is the first time I've made this piece, and I'm a Neimiche
26:21I created Ru's work.
26:26They created our work.
26:27They were using our work as their name.
26:31They created our work.
26:32K-Musical Market, which was created in South Korea last June.
26:36I created this work.
26:38I created that work.
26:41Our work created it.
26:43The work is officially from Broadway in America
26:47A 29-hour showcase
26:50This piece was created by reshaping an American stoker.
26:54It represented that.
26:56The people who visited that work were
26:56What do you want to do about it?
26:58In this film, only Stokes is present for 40 minutes.
27:00It's not getting through.
27:03When we were able to create a Broadway showcase together
27:05of
27:06Honest feelings, the feelings at the time the performance was decided
27:10Please let me hear it.
27:12world world world
27:17Remi frying machine
27:20I want to know what I want to say
27:23In the form of a showcase on Broadway
27:25The fact that it has reached the stage of being performed means
27:27Of course, from here on out, there are things like Tony Awards and winning awards.
27:30Are they considering it?
27:32I want to know what I want to say
27:37Tony Award, Olivier Award, Tony Award, Olivier Award, Tony Award
27:44I look forward to the day when it will be performed on Broadway again.
27:47We are doing
27:50The Korean musical that shone at last year's Tony Awards
27:57What Kyomoto, who got closer to that secret, thought after his journey ended
28:09Personally, this was my third time in South Korea.
28:12The most intense time, or rather
28:15Above all, as a Korean color
28:18I guess it's that kind of supportive ability.
28:20The same goes for the country.
28:22That applies to the entire school as well.
28:24Support for such creators and artists
28:28Power
28:28I thought it was really amazing.
28:31Korean entertainment in various forms
28:33I was able to experience the world of musical theater.
28:36I think everything will probably come into play from now on.
28:41And finally, on June 8th...
28:44This year's Tony Awards are coming up.
28:48In various ways, the Tony Awards and musicals
28:51I am learning from you.
28:52It seems like the Tony Awards are getting more and more popular.
28:55As a viewer and as a supporter
28:59I think it's becoming very familiar to us.
29:01I have a feeling this year will be even more enjoyable.
29:05Available on demand
29:07Add it to your favorites so you don't miss it.
29:11The pinnacle of theatrical musicals
