NEWS] ‘Mozart!’ Who Has Made a Come Back, 4 Person 4 Colours of Different Appeal
May 25, 2011 by withjyj
Last year, the musical ‘Mozart!’ which created a new record has once again found its way to the ancore stage. This time round, extraordinarily, 4 male actors have at the same time been casted for the role and they will be performing with 4 different colours of their very own appeal.
▶4 person 4 colours Mozart! =”Im TaeKyung is gentle and Seom SeHan has good acting skills. They were able to express the lyrics of the songs very well.” (‘Mozart’ Director Yoo HeeSung)
Im TaeKyung, a musical actor of 7 years and a cross over tenor , is a star in the musical world who has then attracted lots of female fans. He’s just like a genius arts performer. He acted the troubled Mozart role in between that of his 2 characters. Carry forward from the pervious year, he is standing on the stage for the second time as Mozart and he said Mozart is like “a messanger who is here to speak of the voices of the heaven” and “Although he’s a genius who has created many masterpiece but actually he’s also one who has issues with communication with otheres. That’s why though the music, he expresses his feelings and stories to others.”
Im TaeKyung, who seems to have a face that reflects of a certain circumstance and a pair of eyes of that of a tender deer that captures the hearts of woman, oddly has of much resemblance to Mozart. Perhaps that’s why the feelings of Mozart he expresses is very much unique. Im TaeKyung who has over this period of time gained many experiences from those roles he was given, aggresively went to audition for Mozart. For the first time, he has a certain greed for this work piece ‘Mozart’ and gained a starting point though not a cross over tenor but as a musical actor.
JYJ Kim Junsu’s Mozart has come back too. Director Yoo HeeSung gave a favourable comment saying, “At first we name him as the ’musical whiz kid’ but, now it isn’t exaggerated to call him as ‘musical genius’. His speed of picking up the acting is amazingly fast and he adapts quickly to environment.”
We should remember clearly that it was musical that lit up the darken days when Junsu came out of TVXQ and formed JYJ as a new starting point. To him, ‘Mozart’ held the meaning of a brand new start. Actually the performances this time round was tight with JYJ’s packed schedules and it was difficult for him to act but because Junsu insisted that he wants to act, he thus took part in the musical. He explained that, “Because it is ‘Mozart’, I want to do it again. It was Mozart which came along under the circumstances when I need to make a comeback. (Mozart) This work is the medium of this society.”
Junsu’s unique husky voice searched around looking for the colour for Mozart. His husky voice as his organ has, instead, made the musical sounds vocalist more fruitfully featured. Including the distinctive voice of the deep emotions, the strong point was Junsu who truly wanted to act his way of Mozart.

[Translation] 110619 Jung Sun Ah Praises Kim Junsu In Her Interview
It looks like each member of the ‘Mozart quartet’ has his own unique character?
“They’re different. Each of them are different.”
#2 Kim Junsu(Xiahzart): “Wow~ That kid is really a prodigy. That word explains him well. I think he’s really intelligent. Compared to last year’s performances, he wasn’t able to rehearse much for the encore performance because he was also holding a world tour in between. He came to about two rehearsals and did a run-through and he was so good at it. There were a lot of changes in the lyrics from last year’s performances, but he was perfect.“
“He talks to me on the phone and we chat on Kakao Talk often. I really like him. But it’s not only me; other ‘aunties’… like Young Suk and Lee Gyeong Mi, really like him too. This is confidential.. but when we’re in the make up room, there’s a monitor that let’s us watch what Junsu’s doing on stage. Whenever Junsu comes on, we all say, “How is he so good?”, “Awwww~” and “Look at him, look at him!” Gyeong Mi’s love for Junsu is amazing.”
(omitted)
Two of your husbands are older than you and two are younger than you.
“I don’t know about Junsu, but I can feel the age difference with Dong Seok, though they’re both younger than me. He’s quite handsome on stage. Hahaha!”
(omitted)
“Could there be anyone (who came from being a celebrity to a musical actor) who loves musicals more than I do? For people who have come from the TV screen to the musical stage, some may see musicals as just a job that brings home the paycheck. But how much do those people really love musicals? Of course, Junsu is an exception. From when I was little, I’ve always dreamed of becoming a musical actress. Now, I’m living it and wanting to make it my entire life.”
(omitted)
Who is the actor who has had the best chemistry with you till now? Just so you know, a fan of Kim Junsu asked this question.
“Hahaha! First of all, I’d just like to say that I have horrible memory. When a concert has an encore performance, people usually remember how other actors were in the initial performance, but I can’t. My mom says, ‘How do you memorize your lines with that awful memory of yours?’ I’m better at momentary concentration.”
“At first, I worked really well with Gun Myeong. At that time, I didn’t know much so it must have been hard on him. I work really well with Junsu too. I thought we wouldn’t have great chemistry together but we surprisingly do. It’s because Junsu’s so witty.“

[Trans] 110617 Junsu’s Thank You message to the fans
I will love you forever, sweetheart. Momma Cha
On the day I stood on the stage
in the name of Kim Junsu for the first time in my life,
it was Mozart who let you and I face each other once again.
The image of all of you,
who silently sent applause and affection to my challenges,
to Kim Junsu soaring into the new world
over the tall walls of the castle,
I will keep in my heart for a long time
And I will do my best today as well on this stage
to be worthy of the love that I receive from you,
because I cannot express all the gratitude in words.
I want to remember these moments for a long time
when the name Xiahzart is not so strange anymore.
I am happy on this day when I become more like him and you feel my heart
Thank you… to all of you ^.^

[News] 110617 K-Pop Stars Taking Korean Musicals on Asian Tour
Producers are turning to leading K-pop bands and targeting overseas audiences in a bid to reinvigorate Korea’s over-saturated musical market, which is estimated to be worth W250 billion but is feeling the pinch as supply outpaces demand.
Japan, which boasts the largest market for musicals in Asia, is emerging as Korean producers’ prime target as they aim to capitalize on the popularity of K-pop stars in the neighboring country.
Korean girl group Kara saw their latest album shoot to the top of the Oricon Weekly Single Chart in the first week of its release in April. Now the band’s lead singer is ready to flood Japanese senses with her acting and singing talent as she prepares for her musical debut in the country.
“Kara’s leader Park Gyu-lee will star in Osaka from October to November,” Show Note, which produces the musical “200 Pounds Beauty,” announced on Wednesday. This is the first time that a leading star of the Korean Wave will make a musical debut in Japan rather than at home.
“200 Pounds Beauty,” a musical adaptation of the film of the same title, is a romantic comedy that has enjoyed great success since it premiered in 2008. The producers are planning an Asian tour across Japan and China from this fall until spring of next year.

In order to make a significant dent in the Japanese market, however, the producers felt a Korean Wave star was needed, and Kara apparently leapt at the chance to expand her performing repertoire.
Industry figures are now describing the partnership between Korea-produced musicals and Korean Wave stars as a marriage made in heaven, especially given the support that Japanese fans have already shown for both. “200 Pounds Beauty,” starring Jessica from Girls’ Generation, “Goong,” featuring TVXQ’s U-Know Yun-ho, and “Mozart!” in which JYJ’s Kim Jun-su made his musical debut, attracted a great number of Japanese.
Tour operators cottoned onto their success by designing package tours for Japanese tourists with tickets to the musicals. Now Korean musical producers are taking a more aggressive approach by flying the entire cast overseas and using K-pop stars as headliners.
Industry insiders predict this will open up a new market capable of generating more than W50 billion in ticket sales alone, not to mention the profits from derivative items. They arrived at this figure based on the assumption that the market can support 10 major Korean musicals, with each one having a potential stage life in Japan of 50 performances.
When Kim Kyu-jong of SS501 turned up in Kyoto on June 11 to play the main character Lee Shin in “Goong,” the 1,200-capacity theater could barely accommodate all of the screaming female fans who had come to see their “prince charming” in the flesh.
Most were already familiar with the plot, as the original comic book and TV series adaptation were introduced to Japan in 2000 and 2006, respectively, and many had shelled out 13,000 yen for the most expensive tickets.
“It would have been impossible to lure a Japanese audience of this size without having a Korean Wave star,” said a staff member from Group 8, which produced the show.
Kim Kwang-su, who produced the musical “Tears of Heaven,” said Korea’s young stars are leading the charge, and helping fans migrate from one medium to another. “Japan wants Girls’ Generation, Kara, Supernova, TVXQ, and Jang Keun-suk,” he said. “Musicals that are made in Korea lack appeal in the foreign market without the help of Korean Wave stars.”
The changing dynamics of the target audience are already starting to filter down to the way Korean musicals are being designed, insiders claim.
“We are now seeing the emergence of musicals that are being produced and directed with an eye on the Japanese market,” said musical director Yoon Ho-jin.
Others cautioned that an over-reliance on star power will ultimately backfire and weaken the art form itself.
“I feel a sense of disappointment in that the popularity is not a verification of the quality of the musical itself,” said Won Jong-won, a professor of media studies at Soonchunhyang University. “Although it may be harder in the beginning, if producers take a long-term perspective and work more on the quality of the musical, rather than simply relying on a star-studded cast, a bigger market will open up.”

[Trans] 110608 VBW Representative Thomas Drozda, “Junsu’s Star Marketing Left A Deep Impression”
“Korea’s musical industry is expanding rapidly in a short time, it is foreseen that the growth will be expedited in the future. This will especially be true via the ticketing power of pop stars like Kim Junsu, which left a deep impression on me.”
The representative, Thomas Drozda (46), from United Stages Vienna (VBW), the production company that brought ‘Mozart!’ to Korea, received an interview on the 30th last month.
After witnessing the Korea ticket sales of ‘Mozart!’, Drozda expressed shock towards the influence that stars like Kim Junsu has on the popularity of musicals.
He said, “In Austria, idol stars like Kim Junsu have never tried musicals before”, “The musical industry and the scope of a pop star’s activities never overlap”. He continued, “What is most important, is that Junsu attracted a new level of audience, and this is very valuable. Due to the influx of idol stars with strong fanbases into the Asian musical industry, the audience now has a wider composition.”
