I watched from special-seat Row B, joined the pre-show question event, and explored the gym-themed photo zones.

It was my first comedy play, so my expectations were sky-high! > Suspicious PT Shop > Running time: about 80 minutes ![Autumn sky scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-02-1vl96-900.webp) The weather is finally starting to cool down, so I think fall is here! The sky looks absolutely unreal (p) ☁️🫧 ![Nine Theater performance venue building](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-03-hoh49-900.webp) ## Getting to Nine Theater and parking The show is playing in the Nine Theater building. There is no separate parking lot, so we drove around and around looking for an available spot at a nearby paid lot 🥲 ![Nine Theater basement entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-04-ezd8n-900.webp) Let’s head down to Basement Level 1 of Nine Theater. ![Performance venue signboard](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-05-1gvuu-900.webp) There are lots of big signs, so it is easy to find your way. ![Suspicious Hair Salon-themed photo zone](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-06-5v8pd-900.webp) ## Hair salon and gym-themed photo zones Apparently, Suspicious PT Shop is a follow-up series to a play called Suspicious Hair Salon? That is why there was a hair-salon-themed photo zone. ![PT shop-themed portrait display](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-07-18s91-900.webp) Since the PT shop is the concept, there were cool photo displays of super-fit women like this ⭐️ ![Photos of the actual Suspicious PT Shop cast](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-08-o0t6i-900.webp) These are photos of the actual cast >..< ![Ticket box and lounge area](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-09-mt1ws-900.webp) ## Collecting tickets and showtimes After picking up our tickets at the box office, we waited in the lounge!

It was ₩99,000 x 2, and minors are not admitted. ![Cast information for that day’s performance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-15-5iwkz-900.webp) On the day I visited, the four performers were Harin as trainer Sujin, Isu as PT shop director Seonghui, Tami as Junsu, and Haeil as Hyeokjin. ![Gym PT-zone stage set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-16-19fr6-900.webp) Entry starts 20 minutes before the show, so we went in early. The set really is a gym PT zone through and through. ![Suspicious PT Shop stage](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-17-ypc95-900.webp) ## Suspicious PT Shop plot and viewing notes The story begins when Seonghui, a former Musclemania Figure Grand Prix champion, and skilled trainer Sujin join forces to open a neighborhood PT shop. Then beginner members Hyeokjin and Junsu, who had only been doing home workouts, come to the shop to learn how to exercise properly. Once the two male members meet the two female trainers, all kinds of unexpected situations unfold. Overall, you can enjoy the actors’ lively performances and scenes that turn a variety of mishaps into comedy! 🚫 It goes without saying, but filming or recording is absolutely not allowed during the play 🚫 You may take photos only during the final curtain call, when the actors pose for you! ![Pre-show audience event](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-18-1fmgj-900.webp) ## Pre-show audience participation event Before the play starts, Haeil, who plays Hyeokjin, exchanges questions with the audience and gives out gifts, loosening up the initially stiff atmosphere with humor. What the audience says here carries into the middle of the play (spoiler haha). Join in lots and grab a gift! ![Fireworks festival scenery after the performance](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater-19-mw5m1-900.webp) And there was even a fireworks festival on the way home after the play ☺️ It was such a fun day. ## Overall review I noticed lots of close friends, couples, and married couples visiting for a date! It is a comic, sexy play with a lot of male fantasy in it rather than female fantasy, so I think men will especially enjoy it ^__^* It is a play, but it felt like I had watched stand-up comedy. Especially if you sit in Row A, the actors will throw lots of questions your way, so shy people should avoid Row A! ## Where it is - Nine Theater (나인 씨어터) (나인 씨어터) - 30 Daehak-ro 8ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 대학로8가길 30 - 37.5822797, 127.0025657 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%98%EC%9D%B8%20%EC%94%A8%EC%96%B4%ED%84%B0/@37.5822797,127.0025657,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-ticketbook/daehakro-ptshop-audience-event-nine-theater/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
