this girl's korean diary: JUMP theater



'Go see this show and take all your family and friends too. They will love you forever.'
-the British theater guide

Seoul, Jongno-gu, Jongno 2-ga, Jump Theater in Cinecore Theater B1

meet the family.

Indeed, this attraction completed my stay in Korea, more that all the stops and destinations we've been sight seeing. If you're all about fun, and laughter, well this is probably for you too! 

JUMP is an internationally renowned comic being  visited by hollywood personalities such as THE brad and angelina couple. It is a comic martial arts show built on the story an unusual family and their misfortunes. There are a total of 4 episodes squeezed in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Episode one is all about a suitor of the family's daughter coming over and being tested for his martial arts skills. The second one is a surprise (which I probably should not spoil). Episode  3 is a love-hate-seduction story between the wife and his husband. While the final episode is about burglars and the family's efforts to stop 'em.

The plot might be too simple for you, but wait til you see the show, then you'll find yourself bloated from aerophagy with too much laughter! It is blessed with such perfect timing, it makes you confused if your watching a live show or a taped one. I find the slow motions perfect and flawless. The acting doesn't affect the acrobatics - impressive, since one should be born with such talent to pull off a stunning act.

a place to check out the actors of the show. Different set of actors are there for different screening times. 

A shot took before heading inside the theater. It was the last stop of the day that's why, haggard spells all over on me :))).. No photography was allowed inside, so uuh, this was necessary. haha! And yeah, I haven't seen full length video leaks of the show uploaded in you tube, so watching is worth the pay.:) if curiosity strikes though, you can watch the first few minutes of the show here. I think its in one of their world tours, not at their own theater.


one of the graffiti painted on the stair walls heading down. 'ump' hahaha!

If given a chance to go back to Korea, I would surely watch this again. Go see for yourself too! And think of me while you watch..! ;p
