Details

Guest star appeared between the second and third stars of Misu (the constellation Scorpio) (76th Book of the Veritable Records of King Sejong, March 11, 1437)

Nova Scorpii1437 is the name given by modern astronomers to a new star that Sejong discovered more than 600 years ago. Hundreds of years ago, King Sejong and Jang Young-sil observed our sky with outstanding astronomical technology. King Sejong who regarded the people as the sky, and Jang Young-sil who supported his dream. What kind of world did the two draw while looking at the stars in the night sky?
The performance begins with the recollection of the elderly who came to Yeongneung (the Royal Tomb of King Sejong) shortly after King Sejong passed away. The old man is Jang Young-sil, who disappeared from the record. The dancers' gestures and clear voices of Korean music reveal Jang Young-sil's heart missing Sejong. Then, a white butterfly comes to the night sky and the world that the two dreamed of together unfolds beautifully with 400 drones. In front of two people who dream of a world where the people will be free in our sky and in our time, the guest star (Nova Scorpii1437) shines a bright light of hope.

Synopsis

After King Sejong passed away and was buried in Yeongneung, an old man appears in front of Jeongjagak Pavilion late one night.
He is Jang Young-sil, who has dreamed with King Sejong for a long time.
He is lost in ephemeral and deep sorrow as he recalls his memories with King.
As soon as he floats the traditional lantern in memory of King Sejong,
King Sejong's soul becomes a white butterfly and comes to Jang Yeong-sil.
Looking at the night sky, the two begin to reflect on the new world they dreamed of together.
They used to dream that the people who were like nameless stars knew our time and shone in our sky.
King Sejong compared Jang Young-sil to a guest star that suddenly appeared brightly, giving him courage,
Jang Young-sil gains hope that the world that King Sejong had dreamed of will someday come.
