Hong Geum-bi successfully wrapped up the final stage of the play 'Pride.'

Hong Geum-bi concluded her approximately three-month journey with the final performance of 'Pride' held on the 22nd at YES24 Art Center Hall 2. Since the opening in March, she has breathed with the audience through each performance with authentic acting, receiving enthusiastic reviews for her multi-dimensional expression of the character Silvia, who maintains her center between the past and the present.

'Pride' is the fifth work of the 20th anniversary season of the theater series 'Theater Festival 10,' depicting love, self, and social oppression and acceptance that change over time between 1958 and 2008. The Silvia portrayed by Hong Geum-bi is a character who understands and embraces others steadfastly amid the changes of the times, serving as the emotional core of the play.

On stage, Hong Geum-bi portrayed Silvia not merely as a supporter but as a connection that bridges the conflicts and emotional balances of the two eras. By delicately tuning the character's attitude and inner world to the historical context, she delivered a distinct temperature shift to the audience in every scene.

In particular, the vibrant energy of Silvia in 2008 added vitality to the play, while the complex emotions of Silvia in 1958 resonated profoundly. Her stable portrayal of the dynamic character garnered audience reviews of her as 'an actress who reinterpreted Silvia.'

Through her agency C.L.N Company, Hong Geum-bi expressed her heartfelt thoughts, saying, 'It was meaningful and enjoyable to be part of a play like this again,' and added, 'I felt joy in creating a play with such wonderful people.'

Hong Geum-bi has showcased deep performances on various stages, including the musicals 'Dorian Gray,' 'Hedwig,' 'Lizzie,' and 'Dear Evan Hansen,' as well as the plays 'Amadeus' and 'Silent Sky.' With a diverse emotional range and exceptional stage concentration, she has captivated audiences and plans to continue her broad work activities in the future.
