Singer and actress Kim Do Yeon has successfully made her theater debut, delivering a compelling performance in the play "Anna X." She took the stage on January 30 at LG Arts Center Seoul’s U+ Stage, captivating audiences in the title role of Anna.
Anna X is inspired by the real-life story of Anna Sorokin, who posed as a wealthy German heiress, Anna Delvey, to infiltrate New York’s elite social circles and orchestrate elaborate financial frauds. Kim portrays Anna, a young woman who fabricates a glamorous identity, using social media, charm, and manipulation to gain trust and deceive those around her. Throughout the performance, she brings to life a character that is both cunning and irresistibly charismatic, delivering a nuanced portrayal that leaves a lasting impression on audiences.
Despite this being her first theatrical role, Kim Do Yeon showcased remarkable stage presence and control, earning praise for her expressive depth and ability to sustain the performance in a two-person cast. Critics and theatergoers alike noted her steady, convincing performance, which enhanced the play’s intensity and realism.
Following her debut performance, Kim expressed her excitement and gratitude through her agency, Fantagio, stating, "I was nervous at first, but once I stepped on stage, I found myself truly enjoying the moment. I felt an incredible sense of connection with the audience, something I had never experienced before." She continued, "Although this is my first play, I don’t want to rely on ‘being new’ as an excuse. I will keep working to deliver a performance that audiences can fully immerse themselves in. Thank you for coming to watch despite the cold weather."
Kim Do Yeon has steadily built her acting career through a series of well-received television and film roles. She has appeared in "Pop Out Boy!", tvN’s "My Roommate Is a Gumiho", "Jirisan", SBS’s "One the Woman", and JTBC’s "Be Melodramatic." Most recently, she starred in the horror film "Amoeba Girls and School Ghost Story: School Anniversary," further solidifying her versatility and on-screen presence. Anna X marks a significant step in her career, demonstrating her growth as an actress and her ability to lead a production with confidence.
The play Anna X will continue its run until March 16, offering audiences an opportunity to witness Kim Do Yeon’s breakthrough theatrical performance.
