Summary
A sweeping narrative that transcends three different timelines.
Centered on the true story of Marianne and Margaret, nurses who devoted their lives to caring for Hansen’s disease patients on Sorok Island, the piece interweaves the past lives of the oppressed residents with the isolated reality of families with children with developmental disabilities in 2019 Seoul. Through these intersecting stories, it reflects on the meaning of healing and solidarity.

Library Company is an innovative content business leader that revolutionizes the entire value chain—from planning and development to production, investment, and distribution—through data-driven decision-making and the strategic building of IP value chains.
In our first year entering Broadway, we participated as co-producers in the musical &Juliet, which became the fastest new production of 2022 to recoup its investment. We also co-produced Some Like It Hot, which went on to win four awards at the 76th Tony Awards. In 2024, we expanded to the West End as co-producers of the musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).
Domestically, our business is built on proven IPs such as Our Little Sister, The Lives of Others, and The Long Night, supported by over 50 of the nation’s and world’s top creators and a data-driven, systematic R&D framework that enables predictable box office success.
In the screen content space, we specialize in the horror and thriller genres with projects such as the drama Your Honor starring Son Hyun-joo and Kim Myung-min, the film You Will Die in 6 Hours starring NCT’s Jaehyun, and The Gentleman: Whisper of the Demon starring Kim Jaejoong. We are also expanding the content lifecycle through strategic synergy with live entertainment.
In 2025, with the launch of our exhibition business, Library Company will enter all genres of live entertainment. We remain committed to delivering the most exceptional moments to audiences worldwide.
