Park Cheon-hyu, the writer and lyricist of the musical 'Maybe Happy Ending', became the first Korean to receive a Tony Award for Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical at the 78th Tony Awards held in New York. In a heartfelt message on social media, Park expressed surprise and some fear at receiving such high praise and emphasized his commitment to working earnestly on future projects. The musical, set in Seoul in the near future, tells a story of 'helper robots' who develop feelings of love. It began at a small theater in Daehangno, Seoul (a district famous for theater culture) and has since moved to Broadway, receiving acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
