[Edaily Reporter Kwon Oh Seok ] Global IP content company SAMG ENTERTAINMENT CO.,LTD(419530)(SAMG ENTERTAINMENT CO.,LTD) is set to kick off its nationwide tour in the second half of the year with its show musical “Princess Catch! Tinipping,” including encore performances in Seoul and Daegu.

According to SAMG ENTERTAINMENT CO.,LTD on the 12th, the production—which premiered in Seoul last January—has garnered a tremendous response, staging a total of 188 performances across 21 regions nationwide and ranking first in ticket sales by genre on major ticketing platforms. The company announced that, driven by the audience’s enthusiastic support and requests for additional performances, it has decided to continue its nationwide tour—including encore performances—through the second half of the year.
The second-half tour will begin with performances in Cheonan on August 15–16, followed sequentially by △Anyang (August 29–30) △Changwon (September 5–6) △Chuncheon (September 12–13). Subsequently, during the Chuseok holiday from September 24–27, the show will return for an encore performance at the Seoul Ticketlink 1975 Theater (formerly the Children’s Hall Cultural Center), and during the National Foundation Day holiday on October 3–4, it will be presented at the Grand Hall of the Cheonma Art Center at Yeungnam University in Daegu. The nationwide tour is scheduled to conclude with performances in Jeonju on October 10–11.
The production’s success is attributed to its stage design, which combines the solid IP of the original animated series with exceptional direction. Lee Eun-gyeol, South Korea’s leading illusionist, served as the general director and successfully brought the world of “Catch! Tinipping” to life on stage through an original show that blends magic, musical theater, and puppetry. In particular, Chief Director Lee Eun-gyeol—who is celebrating the 30th anniversary of his debut this year—is praised for creating a family musical that appeals to everyone from children to their parents by incorporating puppet props that highlight the characters’ charm and the delicate movements of the puppeteers.
“Princess Catch! Tinipping” is a stage production based on Season 6 of the TV animation “Catch! Tinipping” and serves as a prime example of SAMG ENTERTAINMENT CO.,LTD’s successful expansion of its proprietary IP into the live performance arena.
A SAMG ENTERTAINMENT CO.,LTD representative explained, “Following the box office success of the 2024 film *Love Hachuping*, we are expanding the animation’s universe to the stage with the 2025 musical of the same name and the 2026 show musical *Princess Catch! Tinipping*, providing fans with unique experiences.”
