At the press conference held for the musical ‘Goong’ on the 16th at 2:00 p.m. at the Seoul Nonhyun-Dong Imperial Palace Hotel, representative Song praised “Because Uknow Yunho’s fame has spread not only in Japan but (throughout) Asia, it was a hard case getting him.

100616 “I Want To Express My Own Style”- Tohoshinki’s Yunho

Starting from 8 September, the musical “Goong” will begin its run. A press conference for this musical was held at the Imperial Palace Hotel on the afternoon of the 16 June.

Yunho, who plays the role of the crown prince Lee Shin, spoke with ambition, saying “I’ve seen both the manga and drama versions of “Goong,” but creatively, musicals are a different genre, so I want to express my own style.”

“Since this is the first time I’m challenging a musical, there is pressure, but more than that, I am enjoying and anticipating it,” said Yunho. “Musicals are a combination of dancing, singing and acting put together as one to express emotions, and this is its charm. Personally, I enjoyed “Goong” a lot, so I thought this would be a good opportunity,” he said, explaining why he decided to take up this role.

Also casted for the role of Lee Shin are actor Kim Dong Ho and singer RUN, and the role of Crown Princess Shin Chae Kyung will be played by Gwak Seon Young and Shin Ui Jung.
