In response, Seo's agency, Quantum E&M, took legal action against the perpetrator. Quantum E&M issued a statement emphasizing their firm stance, stating, "There will be no leniency."[60]

Notes

  1. Theatre Company Michu (Korean: 극단 미추; Hanja: 美醜) was founded in August 1986 by Son Jin-chaek. The theatre company Michu originated with the 'Son Jinchaek Directing Lab', which established when CEO Son Jin-chaek was the representative of the Minye Theatre. Michu continues to search for the identity of Korean theatre that emphasizes spirit rather than form . Since 1987, Michu has performed Madangnori works every year. Madangnori refers to traditional Korean theatre that combines various forms of folk entertainment, such as puppetry, mask dances and traditional percussion music.[12]
  2. The Hi-seo Theater Awards (히서연극상) was established in 1996 by theatre critic Gu Hee-seo (구히서) (1939 to 2019). In 1996, the first year started with the Theatre of the Year Award. Since 1997, two winners were selected, one each for The Theater Man of the Year and The Theatre Award. Winners were given plaques and prizes funded from The Metaa wine party auction that takes place a month before the awards ceremony. The last award ceremony was in 2015.[172]
  3. The Dong-A Theater Awards (동아연극상) established in 1964 to expand and develop the base of Korean theater, have contributed to the revitalization of Korean theater by selecting and awarding performers, theater troupes and organizations that have performed outstandingly every year.
  4. The Kim Dong-hoon Theater Award (김동훈 연극상에) was established in 2000 to honor Kim Dong-hoon (1939-1996), a theater director and theater actor. Kim Dong-hoon, who studied aesthetics at Gyeonggi High School and Seoul National University, and worked in the theater company's experimental theater, left his mark in Korean theater as an actor, director, theater troupe operator, and theater administrator.
  5. The Lee Hae-rang Theater Award was established by the Lee Hae-rang Theater Foundation to commemorate the Lee Hae-rang, a pioneer in the Korean theater industry.
