Zorro is a masked hero who has captivated audiences around the world for many years. The original story is based on Isabel Allende’s Zorro, which tells the tale of Diego, a free-spirited Spanish nobleman who dons a mask to fight for justice and avenge his father. The story has already proven its popularity through numerous film and TV drama adaptations, and the musical is no exception. When it premiered in London’s West End in 2008, it broke box office records within its first week.
Zorro: Actor-Musician is an interpretation of the 2008 musical Zorro, featuring actors who not only dance and act but also perform live music on stage. With music by the band Gypsy Kings, flamenco choreography, and thrilling sword fights, the show keeps a high-energy pace from start to finish. The casting of Zorro is also noteworthy, with MJ from the idol group Astro and Mingyu from DKZ playing the roles of Diego and Zorro. MJ made his musical debut in 2020 with Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and has since appeared in Jack the Ripper and Winter Journey. Mingyu has been building his reputation as a musical actor since his role in The Three Musketeers in 2022. Both are standout vocalists from their respective groups and showcase their versatility by playing various instruments, including the violin and trumpet, in this production.

ARKO Art Center was founded in 1974 as Misulhoegwan in a building of former Deoksu Hospital in Gwanhun-dong, Jongno-gu to offer much-needed exhibition space for artists and arts groups. In 1979, Misulhoegwan moved to its present building, designed by preeminent Korean architect Kim Swoo-geun (1931-1986) and located in Marronnier Park, the former site of Seoul National University. The two neighboring brick buildings accommodating ARKO Art Center and ARKO Arts Theater are the major landmarks of the district of Daehakro.

As more public and private museums and commercial galleries came into the art scene in the 1990s, Misulhoegwan shifted to curating and presenting its own exhibitions. Renamed as Marronnier Art Center in 2002, ARKO Art Center assumed a full-fledged art museum system and played an increasingly prominent role as a public arts organization leading the contemporary art paradigm. When The Korea Culture and Arts Foundation was reborn as Arts Council Korea, Marronnier Art Center became ARKO Art Center named after the abbreviation for Arts Council Korea in 2005.

ARKO Art Center is committed to working as a platform where research, production, exhibitions and the exchange of creative activities grow and develop in connection with one another in addition to having a diversity of programs including thematic exhibitions addressing social agenda and public programs widely promoting various discourses in art.

Daehanuiwon (Daehan Medical Center) is an antique two-story brick building within the grounds of Seoul National University Hospital. It was established under the direct administration of the Uijeongbu (State Council), combining the Gwangjewon (under the Home Ministry), Gyeongseong Medical School and the Korean Red Cross Hospital (under the Royal Household).

Built in the Madubong Hill area, this location where Hamchunwon, the outer garden of Changgyeonggung Palace, once stood in 1484 (15th year of King Seongjong), was also once the site of Gyeongmogung Palace, where King Jeongjo enshrined the mortuary tablet of his birth father Crown Prince Sado Seja in 1776 (the year King Jeongjo ascended to the throne).

These places that held importance for the royal family were destroyed as the Japanese built Gyeongseong Empire University in its place. In 1907, with the announcement of the plan to establish Daehan Medical Center, construction began on the main building, seven wards and affiliated buildings. Construction was completed in November 1908.

The Daehan Medical Center opened in Gwangjewon, but upon Japanese colonization in 1910, its name was changed to the Japanese Viceroyalty Hospital. In 1926, it was included as a part of Gyeongseongjeguk University to become a university hospital. Since the liberation of Korea in 1945, it has been a hospital affiliated with Seoul National University.
