[TRANS] 111221 Jo Seung Woo And Kim Junsu Are Musical Rivals? In Reality, They Support Each Other
Posted on December 24, 2011 by melodiamuse

Jo Seung Woo and Kim Junsu(JYJ), who are known as the two musical actors with the greatest ticket power, don’t see themselves as rivals, but as a heartwarming pair of friends who support each other.

The two became a hot topic when they battled it out on stage with ‘Tears of Heaven’ and ‘Jekyll and Hyde’. But recently, Kim Junsu has been garnering much attention for attending Jo Seung Woo’s musical ‘Zorro’ and the VIP preview of his latest movie ‘Perfect Game’. Many were curious to know the relationship between the two musical actors because they had assumed the two stars didn’t know each other very well.

In a recent interview, Jo Seung Woo commented that Kim Junsu was a great junior actor and said, “I asked him to come see my movie, and he really showed up. Junsu said, ‘Hyung, I really enjoyed the movie,’ afterwards.“

A representative stated, “The two keep in touch and frequently exchange text messages. Jo Seung Woo takes care of Kim Junsu a lot as a fellow musical actor and it’s great to see him giving Kim Junsu advice on improving his acting. Though many think that the two are rivals in the musical industry, in reality, they’re just a senior and junior who support and take care of each other. Kim Junsu recently watched ‘Perfect Game’ and was so impressed by Jo Seung Woo’s acting that he’s been telling everyone around him to go watch the movie.“

In an interview with OSEN, Kim Junsu once expressed his deep respect for Jo Seung Woo as he said, “In my heart, I’ve always wanted to stand on one stage with Jo Seung Woo.”

Meanwhile, Jo Seung Woo’s new movie ‘Perfect Game’ was released on the 21st while Kim Junsu recently ended JYJ’s world tour that took place across 13 cities.

[TRANS] 111125 The Behind-The-Scenes Stories Of Creating The Star-Studded Cast Of ‘Elisabeth’

Known for its star-studded cast and fierce ‘ticket war’, the musical ‘Elisabeth’ recently released the behind-the-scenes stories of the casting process and is garnering more attention from its fans.

EMK Musical Company, which will be producing the musical, released the behind-the-scenes stories of the casting process and revealed that everyone in the company had their eyes set on Ok Joo Hyun for the role of Elisabeth.

There are a total of fifteen actors for the six main roles of ‘Elisabeth’. These fifteen actors are Kim Sun Young, Kim Soo Yong, Kim Seung Dae, Kim Junsu, Ryu Jung Han, Min Young Ki, Park Eun Tae, Song Chang Ui, Ok Joo Hyun, Yoon Young Seok, Lee Seung Hyun, Lee Jung Hwa, Lee Tae Won, Jeon Dong Seok and Choi Min Cheol (alphabeticaly listed in Korean), many of the industry’s most talented actors whose names excite musical-lovers.

Another actor who sticks out is Lee Seung Hyun (role of Rudolph), the son of Seol Woon Do. Though he was a member of ‘F.CUZ’ for a short period of time, this will be his first acting job in a musical.

But Director Robert Johanson showed his excitement for the rookie as he said, “He was the closest match to the vocal range I had in mind for ‘Rudolph’ and he has a voice that will accurately portray his character and the unstable emotions of a young man.”

What is surprising is that the person who recommeded Lee Seung Hyun was JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong. Kim Jaejoong recommended the rookie to his fellow member and ‘Elisabeth’ cast member Kim Junsu, who then secured an audition for Lee Seung Hyun, giving him the opportunity to take on the role of Rudolph.

The musical ‘Elisabeth’, with its talented cast, will draw the tale of Elisabeth, a person who existed in real life. The musical will open on the 9th of February at the Blue Square Samsung Electronics Hall in Seoul.

[News] Junsu and Ok Juhyun Both Cast in Elisabeth, Draw Anticipation

Ok Juhyun and Kim Junsu who are being recognized as musical actors from idol stars have become cast in the musical Elisabeth. The two are heightening the anticipation for the large-theater musical Elisabeth that will draw its curtains in the coming February by being cast as Elisabeth and Death.

The musical Elisabeth is a re-interpretation of the story of the real-life empress of Austria Elisabeth and her death. This musical begins with the counterargument from Lucheni who is undergoing a trial of 100 years with the charge that he has murdered the empress. He argues that “the Empress loved death” and the story of the life and death of Elisabeth unfold.

Ok Juhyun takes the role of the lead Elisabeth and transforms into the tragic empress who is trapped within the royal halls and dreams of a free life and love. The musical actress Kin Sunyoung has been double-cast in the same role. Kim Junsu appears as the character that personifies death. He falls in fateful love with Elisabeth and endlessly tempts her. Ryu Junghan and Song Changwee have been triple-cast in the same role.

The production company EMK Musical Company said: “It has not been confirmed as to whether Ok Juhyun and Kim Junsu will stand on the same stage together. We plan to decide as to which actors appear together for all actors after mediating their schedules.”

Elisabeth first played in Vienna in 1992 and has since been performed in nations all around the world, and in Korea this is the first performance. The playwrights Sylvester Levay and Michael Kunze who showed Mozart! to Korea have this as one of their other representative works. The directing will be taken by Robert Johansson of the performance Hamlet.

For the role of Franz Joseph who loved Elisabeth only for all of his life, Yun Youngsuk and Min Youngki have been cast. For the narrator Lucheni, Kim Suyong, Choi Minchul and Park Euntae have taken the role and plan to act with enthusiasm.

The performance will take place from February 9 to May 13 in the Blue Square of Hannandong, Seoul.

Translation 111029 Kim Junsu Has Firm Grip On Role of ‘Death’ in “Elisabeth

[TRANS] 111029 Kim Junsu Has Firm Grip On Role Of “Death” In “Elisabeth,” Exuding The Charm Of His Twenties

Kim Junsu has been cast in the musical “Elisabeth,” and is set to once again create a sell-out legend.

Starting February next year, Kim Junsu will be appearing in the musical “Elisabeth,” playing the role of death,  bewitching the audience with his irresistible, mysterious charm.

This character “Death,” will fatefully fall in love with Elisabeth, who desires freedom. “Death” tells Elisabeth, who is restrained and confined by the monarchy that he is the only one who can give her freedom, and stays by her side throughout her entire life, tempting her with death. For this performance, Kim Junsu will be playing the role of “Death” together with Ryu Jung Han and Song Chang Eui.

In October 2010 during the “Kim Junsu Musical Concert – Levay and Friends,” Kim Junsu had already performed part of “Death’s” song from “Elisabeth” and received great praise.

Because of this, from the start of production process for “Elisabeth,” the opinion of “Shouldn’t Kim Junsu should play this role (of “Death”)” had been a dominant one. After his performances in “Mozart!” and “Tears of Heaven,” and standing tall in the musical world as a musical actor, there is much anticipation over what kind of storm Kim Junsu will once again create.

A point to note is that this character (of “Death”) transcends gender and time, a fantasy role, and it’s previous overseas performances have seen past actors from their twenties to their fifties, a huge age range. Therefore, one of the key points to enjoy in this musical is how Kim Junsu, who is in his twenties, Song Chang Eui who is in his thirties, and Ryu Jung Han, who is in his forties, three actors in three different age groups each exude a different kind of charm.

Images of these actors displaying varying styles have been also been revealed. We are looking forward to how “Death”, who transcends life and death and disregards the existence of gender, incites subtle feelings in an eclipse-like fantasy setting in a charismatic and lively stage.

Celebrating its 20th year since its first performance in Vienna, the musical “Elisabeth” will be playing from 9 February to 13 May next year at the Blue Square Samsung Electronics Theater.
