Cha Jungwoo (real name Choo Jungwoo), who is gaining attention as a rising star, will continue his bold career after being cast in the play 'Jekyll and Hyde.'
Cha Jungwoo will take on his very first one-man play through 'Jekyll and Hyded.' As a solo performer portraying multiple characters by himself, he is dedicating himself to intensive rehearsals to present a high-quality performance and is getting ready to meet the audience.
This play is based on the novel 'Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson, but creatively tells the story from the perspective of Utterson, Dr. Jekyll's friend, rather than Dr. Jekyll himself.
As a rising and promising newcomer, the news that Cha Jungwoo chose a challenging 85-minute solo play for his next project has sparked both surprise and anticipation among people in the industry and fans.
In 2025, Cha Jungwoo played the lead role of Kim Soohyun in the drama 'Secret Relationships.' He gained enthusiastic love from both domestic and international fans for his emotional acting and distinctive visuals.
Since then, he has established himself as a top rookie through various projects such as 'My Boyfriend is 600 Years Old.' His decision to take on a stage play, especially a one-man performance that requires a lot of energy, shows his serious attitude toward acting and willingness to challenge himself.
The character Cha Jungwoo portrays is a character who observes Dr. Jekyll's transformation through Utterson's perspective and searches for the truth behind the events.
He is expected to show the psychological anguish and 'duality of a human' while uncovering the secrets of Jekyll and Hyde. Beyond the charm he showed on TV, Cha Jungwoo is expected to show explosive live-stage energy and acting, raising anticipation among audiences.
'Jekyll and Hyde,' drawing attention for rookie Cha Jungwoo's bold transformation, will be performed from March 16 to June 7 at Link The Space Hall 2 in Daehak-ro.
