Tiffany Young leads Yumi's Cells musical; Frozen makes its Korean stage debut

Two major IP musicals are hitting Korean stages. A production showcase happened June 10.

Yumi's Cells opens June 30. Tiffany Young and Kim Ye-won alternate in the title role, with Choi Jae-rim and Jung Taek-woon playing Cell 109—a character invented for the stage, absent from both the original webtoon and drama adaptation. Kim So-hyang and Yuria play Love Cell.

When asked about following Kim Go-eun's take on Yumi, Tiffany Young said she studied the existing versions for reference. "I will show a Yumi that suits the stage," she said.

Frozen arrives in Korea as a licensed Broadway production, marking the Disney film's first stage adaptation for Korean audiences. Jung Sun-ah, Jung Yu-ji, and Min Kyung-ah anchor the cast—all established names with strong box office pull. Lee Chang-ho plays Olaf.
