아흔 살 신구 "대사 금방 잊어도..살아있으니 한다" / SBS 8뉴스

Anchor Korea's oldest active actor, Shin Gu, is taking to the stage in Daehak-ro at the age of ninety. Already rehearsing for his next production, he remarked, "I continue doing theater because I am alive." Culture and Arts Specialist Reporter Kim Soo-hyun reports. Reporter [They said it is Bukbyeok Jangchun. The highest peak of the steep, sheer stone cliff is Bukbyeok...] This is the play 'The French Vault,' which begins with a long monologue by actor Shin Gu. It depicts the commotion of a single night involving people gathered in a bank's underground vault, each harboring their own desires. The role Shin Gu plays is that of a blind master safecracker. For him, the process of opening the firmly locked vault is more important than the contents inside. It is no different from a ninety-year-old actor stepping onto the stage. [Shin Gu / Actor: Since I have disabilities in various places, there are aspects that are difficult to overcome. (Asking if memorizing lines and things like that isn't hard...) Oh, of course it is hard. Now that I've reached this age, I forget what I memorized quickly; I forget it the moment I turn around.] For him, having become the oldest active actor following the passing of actor Lee Soon-jae last year, acting is like destiny. [Shin Gu / Actor: The person I called 'my older brother' has passed away, so it feels like there is no one left for me to look up to. It is incredibly regrettable, but I have to continue doing the work I have done my whole life.] The aura of actor Shin Gu, who has guarded the stage for many years, is the starting point and driving force behind the birth of this play. [Jang Jin / Playwright & Director of 'The French Safe': Let's just write it no matter what.] [Whether it works out or not, let's give it a try to bring the teacher onto the stage.] [Jung Young-joo / Actor: The reason I had no choice but to do (this play) without hesitation was because of Mr. Shin Gu.] He immediately began rehearsals for his next production, the Shakespeare play *The Merchant of Venice*. [Shin Gu / Actor: Well, I'm doing it because I'm alive, and it's the theater I've been doing my whole life, so that's why I'm doing it.] (Video Editing: Park Na-young, VJ: Oh Se-gwan) #ShinGu #Daehakro #TheaterStage Copyright Ⓒ SBS.
