The musical "Dracula" has donated 1,000 blood donation certificates collected by audiences, actors, and staff through a blood donation campaign to support children with pediatric cancer.
Production company OD COMPANY stated that together with the Hanmaeum Blood Center, it delivered 1,000 blood donation certificates to the Korea Childhood Leukemia Foundation. The donated certificates will be used for children with pediatric cancer who require blood transfusions during chemotherapy.
The blood donation campaign for "Dracula" first began in 2021. Inspired by "blood," the central motif of the production, the project was organized during a prolonged period of COVID-19 when blood shortages persisted. During the previous 10th anniversary season (2023–2024), 1,000 certificates, including those collected since 2021, were donated to the Korea Blood Cancer Association. This year marks the third campaign.
This season, the production company presented audiences who participated in blood donation in August with a specially designed "Dracula" acrylic carabiner along with a four-piece photocard set containing handwritten messages from Shin Sung-rok, KIM JUNSU, Jeon Dong-suk, and Ko Eun-sung, who star as Dracula. Audiences who donated certificates were also offered ticket discounts and invitation events.
Based on Bram Stoker's novel of the same name, "Dracula" is a musical depicting the story of Count Dracula, who has loved only one woman for more than 400 years.
"Dracula" is currently running at LG Arts Center Seoul, LG SIGNATURE Hall, and will close on October 18.
