Kim Seon-ho’s theater play: What is Touching the Void all about?
As previously mentioned, the Run On star will be making his acting comeback with the stage play Touching the Void after a seven-month-long hiatus.
The upcoming play is based on the real-life story of two British mountaineers who faced a life-threatening incident on the summit of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. The mountaineers were Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, who survived a terrifying escapade in 1985 at Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes.
The Start Up actor will play the role of mountaineer Joe Simpson, who was stuck on a snowy mountain after experiencing a terrifying incident during their climb.
Touching the Void was revealed to be the Korean dramatization of Simpson's 1998 autobiographical novel, which was later made into a documentary in 2003.
Helmed by Kim Dong Yeon, actors Shin Sung-min, Lee Hwi-jong, Oh Jung-taek, and Jung Hwan will be participating in the theater play alongside Kim Seon-ho.
Previously, the actor’s agency SALT Entertainment released pictures of the actor practicing and training for Touching the Void. In the pictures, the talented actor can be seen showing off his handsome looks and formidable physique as he practices indoor climbing to prepare for his role as Joe Simpson.
Fans were delighted to see the actor slowly returning to work after facing a shocking personal setback a couple of months back and took to social media handles to cheer for him.
