덕질의 이해 · A monodrama for your fandom
70 min · 1 performer · Ages 6+
Synopsis
Professor Kim Jeong-soon teaches Korean traditional music at university — and never stops fangirling. When her daughter suddenly drops out and returns home without a word, the family's worry collides with Jeong-soon's all-consuming passion. Through ticketing battles, fan sign queues, and a last-chance concert, one question rises to the surface: is your fandom truly understood?
