Jung Eun-chae, who is currently acting as the crown prince of a national theater company in ‘Retirement’, held an emergency press conference.

In episode 9 of the tvN weekend drama ‘Jeongnyeon’ (directed by Jung Ji-in/written by Choi Hyo-bi/planned by Studio Dragon/produced by Studio N, management mmm, and Npio Entertainment) that aired on the 9th (Sat), Yoon Jeong-nyeon (played by Kim Tae-ri) participated in the child actor audition for the women‘s national theater troupe’s joint performance ‘The Fool and the Princess’ and vomited blood on stage due to excessive vocal training (vocal training in front of a cave or waterfall to gain voice). She is diagnosed with ‘she must give up her voice’ and falls into deep despair. In the midst of various confusing situations, preparations for ‘The Fool and the Princess’, a performance that will determine the fate of the Maeran National Theater Troupe, begin.

In particular, the Maeran National Theater Troupe was thrown into chaos on this day due to Ok-kyung‘s opium scandal. The investors of the joint performance were furious, demanding to recover their investment, and although Ok-kyung claimed her innocence, even the joint performance team distrusted her, and the atmosphere became chaotic. If this performance was not a success, Maeran could collapse. So-bok, who ordered Ok-kyung to hold an emergency press conference, made a bold move to Nam-hee, who was boycotting the joint performance, saying, “If this performance suffers a loss, Maeran will take full responsibility for the loss.” It was because she judged that if they could not protect Ok-kyung, the “face of women’s national theater,” women‘s national theater itself could be in danger.

However, Ok-kyung’s actions at the end of the play were even more shocking. When Yeong-seo showed extraordinary respect to Ok-kyung after finishing the press conference refuting the opium scandal and returning to Maeran, Ok-kyung suddenly made an inexplicable suggestion, saying, “If I ask you to leave this national theater troupe, do you want to leave with me?” In this way, as a icy crisis and change approaches Jeong-nyeon and Mae-ran, who are on the edge of a cliff, attention is focused on what will become of the fate of Jeong-nyeon and Mae-ran, who are on the edge of a cliff.

Meanwhile, the 10th episode of tvN‘s Saturday-Sunday drama ’Jeong-nyeon’ will air today (the 10th) at 9:20 PM.
