Chunhyu Park, the writer who won six Tony Awards in the United States for the musical "Maybe Happy Ending," has signed an exclusive contract with Prain TPC.

On August 11, Prain TPC announced, "We have signed an exclusive contract with musical writer Chunhyu Park," adding, "We will continue to support him so that he can pursue meaningful creative activities in the future."

Chunhyu Park has written scripts and lyrics for musicals such as "Bungee Jump," "Maybe Happy Ending," "Il Tenore," and "Ghost Bakery." In some of these productions, he also took on the role of director.

He received the Best Composition and Lyrics Award at "The Musical Awards" in 2013 for "Bungee Jump." At the 2018 Korea Musical Awards, he won the Best Script and Lyrics Award for "Maybe Happy Ending," and last year, he received the Grand Prize at the Korea Musical Awards for "Il Tenore."

"Maybe Happy Ending," for which Chunhyu Park wrote the script and lyrics, was nominated in ten categories at the Tony Awards on Broadway in the United States last year.
