Park Jin-joo is not only active in the broadcasting industry but also on the musical stage.

Following the currently running ‘Ghost Bakery’, she will be appearing in the new musical ‘Laika’, which will be held at the Yeongang Hall of Doosan Art Center starting in March.

‘Laika’ is the story of Laika, the first space exploration dog on Earth during the Cold War, meeting the Little Prince, who is already an adult, and his alien friends on asteroid B612 and preparing for a secret project together.

This is a work that audiences have been looking forward to even before the performance, as it is a work by the creative team of the musical ‘Red Book’, written by Han Jeong-seok, composed by Lee Sun-young, and directed by Park So-young, which Park Jin-joo participated in in 2023.

Park Jin-joo will also challenge herself with a new look through this stage.

She will appear as ‘Laika’, a dog who flew into space because she loved humans so much. Laika is the first space exploration dog on Earth with unique patience and smart friendliness. She is attempting a transformation by taking on another non-human character after the helper bot in ‘Maybe a Happy Ending’ in 2024.

Park Jin-joo is currently showing off her outstanding acting and singing skills in ‘Ghost Bakery’ as Soon-hee, who dreams of becoming the best baker, and will also be holding a musical gala concert with Min Kyung-ah and Noh Yoon in March.
