We Are the Flames: An Exclusive Pre-Show Interview with Troupe Spark!
Broadcast: SKS Radio, Cultural Train with Bae Minhyung
Host: Bae Minhyung
Guests: Troupe Spark, represented by Legal Counsel Ji-hyuk
Q: Hello!
A (Troupe Spark): Hello!
Q: Troupe Spark is really in the spotlight lately. How do you feel about all the attention?
A (Jang Geonho): To be honest, for those of us preparing for the stage, we don’t get much of the outside news. But I think our youngest cast member is somewhat aware of it.
Q: By "youngest," you mean Kim Donghu, right? How does he know about it?
A (Kim Donghu): Ah, it’s probably because of my agency. Veritas handles a lot of the off-stage aspects.
Q: Can I ask again, then—do you feel the heat of all this attention?
A: The phone’s been ringing non-stop, apparently. Our director could probably use his dark circles to jump rope at this point.
Q: Haha, I see. Moving on—how did Troupe Spark come about?
A (Bong Jinwoo, noticing all eyes on him): Oh, well... I honestly didn’t expect it to grow this big. Everyone here is just so incredible; I just got up the courage to try it, really.
Q: Courage?
A (Kim Donghu): On the first day of school, he suddenly grabbed me and handed me a script, brimming with confidence and gesturing like this (mimics grand hand movements).
A: (everyone bursts out laughing)
Q: So all this started from one member joining the troupe?
A (Bong Jinwoo): Yes, yes…you could say that.
Q: When did you start thinking of doing a play for children?
A: I wanted to create something for kids right from the planning stage.
Q: From the start? So this was a vision you had even before Troupe Spark was born?
A: That’s right.
Q: Wow, a play for children! I’m really looking forward to it.
A: Please do! We hope to see you in the theater next week!
Q: Haha, shall we continue right along? Next question!…
The interview was quickly shared across fan forums as soon as the full transcript was released.
Initially, it started as simple questions about the production and its intentions, along with some light updates from the actors and brief introductions to their roles.
Fans eagerly soaked up the details they’d been curious about, yet a strange dilemma emerged.
—When can we buy tickets? I really want to watch this show!
—Isn’t the first show just for kids? I wanna be a kid too, dang it...
—The intent is so noble, I can’t even complain.
—I’ve got the money, but I can’t book tickets—what’s with that!?
Despite the promotional efforts, the intended audience of young children didn’t actually see the promotion.
