[Official Report] Korean Musical ON SCREEN 'Elisabeth' Dolby Atmos Version Special Event Held! Ambassador Sonim, who led the series, appeared on stage!

On Saturday, April 4, 2026, a special event was held at Grand Cinema Sunshine Ikebukuro to commemorate the release of the 'Korean Musical ON SCREEN 'Elisabeth' Dolby Atmos Version,' a cinema series allowing audiences to enjoy masterpieces of Korean musicals in theaters. Actor and singer Sonim, the official ambassador for this series, was welcomed as a special guest.\n\n'Korean Musical ON SCREEN' is a cinema series that allows audiences to enjoy masterpieces of Korean musicals in movie theaters. Beginning with 'Elisabeth' in July 2025, the series has screened a total of five works, including 'Phantom,' 'Marie Antoinette,' 'The Man Who Laughs,' and 'Mozart!'. The Dolby Atmos version further expands the world of 'Elisabeth' through sound, allowing the audience to more carefully feel each individual instrument's sound and subtle nuances as voices, orchestras, and the audience's applause and cheers reverberate three-dimensionally throughout the theater.\n\nWhen asked about the charm of the Dolby Atmos version, Sonim commented, 'I was surprised by the subtlety of the sound, which cannot be felt in a theater. The sound was so good; it was different from seeing a live stage. The 'sound personality' and 'way of sounding' of the actors came through directly, as if I was listening directly to the sound picked up by the microphone.'\n\nSonim, who serves as the official ambassador for this production, has engaged in activities such as event appearances and introducing works on YouTube. When asked about the response, she happily stated, 'From the first 'Elisabeth,' I heard things like 'I went to see it but couldn't get tickets,' and even people in the industry said, 'I was curious and went to see it.' I really felt that it was penetrating the audience.'\n\nFurthermore, Sonim, who has appeared in numerous musicals, expressed her delight when asked about the differences and attractions of Japanese and Korean musicals, saying, 'You can see versions with different directions from those performed in Japan, so I was able to see the works from a new perspective.'\n\nSonim also announced the results of the encore screening request poll targeting all five works, with 'Elisabeth' and 'Phantom' being selected. The total number of votes was 7167: 'Elisabeth' received 1847 votes, 'Phantom' 1858 votes, 'Marie Antoinette' 924 votes, 'The Man Who Laughs' 1068 votes, and 'Mozart!' 1470 votes. Sonim excitedly remarked, 'The votes were evenly distributed, and 'Elisabeth' and 'Phantom' were very close. I'm happy to be able to see 'Phantom' (the first-place winner) again in the cinema, as you can fully enjoy the songs.'\n\nAfter serving as ambassador for a year, Sonim received a bouquet of appreciation from all the staff. She spoke with emotion, saying, 'When I saw this work in Dolby Atmos this time, it made me nod and think, 'Live theater is truly wonderful.' I felt how magnificent and incredible this entertainment is, with actors performing one work from beginning to end, and the staff who create it together.' She added, 'This time, it was not live but on screen. By watching it objectively through the screen, I was reminded that we deliver this to the audience at each performance, and I thought it was amazing entertainment. And with actors who pour their passion and love into it, and fans who receive it and say they were moved, it's unique, and I feel proud to be involved in this work.'\n\nSonim further appealed, 'This wonderful project delivers stage entertainment in the form of a screen to those who cannot go to the theater. I hope that stage plays become a more routine form of entertainment and reach everyone. I believe this situation, which has brought us one step closer to that wish, will spread further. Encore screenings have also been decided, and I hope you will continue to enjoy 'Korean Musical ON SCREEN' in cinemas. Thank you for today.'\n\n[Korean Musical ON SCREEN 'Elisabeth' Dolby Atmos Version Work Overview]\n■Series Title: Korean Musical ON SCREEN 'Elisabeth' Dolby Atmos Version\n■Release Date: Limited release from Friday, April 3, 2026\n*Also screening from Friday, May 8, 2026, at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and TOHO Cinemas Umeda\n■Copyright: ©2022 EMK Musical Company, All Rights Reserved\n\n[Korean Musical ON SCREEN Encore Screening Overview]\n■Screening Works: Korean Musical ON SCREEN 'Elisabeth'\nKorean Musical ON SCREEN 'Phantom'\n■Release Date: 1-week limited release from Friday, June 5, 2026\n■Copyright\nElisabeth: ©2022 EMK Musical Company, All Rights Reserved\nPhantom: ©2021 EMK Musical Company, All Rights Reserved\n\n■Distribution: Live Viewing Japan
