U-Know Yunho takes the lead in Goong musical

Now THIS I can see!: Dong Bang Shin Ki’s leader U-Know Yunho has been cast in the lead role of Prince Shin in the musical adaptation of the phenomenally popular drama series Goong, playing the role originated by Joo Ji-hoon in the drama version.

Too bad this couldn’t have been Yunho’s acting debut, rather than the ill-fated and flaw-ridden soccer drama Heading to the Ground. As the leader of a hugely popular idol band, Yunho has already proven his dancing and singing skills, and making the transition from the pop stage to the musical stage seems more suited to him (and more forgiving a jump should he falter). Taking the lead role in a drama series as his acting debut was, unfortunately, biting off more than he could chew, but I’d actually really love to see him in the musical.

The musical version of Goong is produced by Group Eight and will open at the Seoul National Museum’s theater on September 8.

Don't you still have to know how to act in musicals, as well? It's not just song and dance, but people still have to create emotions and convey dialogue. Yuhno, sadly needs help in that department.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!

Although #2 Hmm makes a good point, a large bulk of what it takes to make a musical successful is dependent on the singing and dancing, not so much on acting, relative to dramas where everything depends on great acting. So if he massively fails still in the acting department, that's at least 1 of three aspects only. I think he'll push through, he always endeavors to work hard toward anything he does.

Again, OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

@ Lucy,
When Junsu filmed his mozart musical, there were a couple of fancams but unfortunately these kinds of musicals don't go on DVD or TV. If you can follow one of the dbsk sites, they'd usually post up fancams, and I am sure, there would be some. Maybe not fully though, the fans are quite respectful in that area (trying to anyway).

I'm excited to see this actually. I admire Junsu's mozart. But I am dbsk bias ^__^

Why am I not surprised? In Goong, Joo Ji Hoon actually reminded me (physically) of Yunho -- who looks good in that prince costume, by the way. I hope he'll do much better in this musical :D

wow, Yunho looks good in the Imperial outfit... XD

looks like the musical is a recompense due to the regrets that the "true" sequel can't be made...

@10
it's actually "seja jeoha" (世子邸下 세자저하) in Joseon Dynasty speak...
(it's actually Joseon Dynasty language which the original manhwa used..I'm still following the manhwa thru onemanga)

the series (Princess Hours) actually used Korean Empire speak; the way you've said it sounds like it should have been "taeja jeonha" (太子殿下 태자전하).

Good luck to Yunho, he looks so handsome in that costume.
I think he will do a good job.

oh my gosh, really? wow. he should have done this first rather than heading to the ground. I hope he'll do well because Joo Ji Hoon did well (and not say to say he's gorgeous) as the prince. I miss Goong so much that I might just watch it again!

Ooooh, I could actually see him at Prince Shin in this Musical! He has the same
kind of temperament, he's tall enough and has a great voice. I would watch this...

You've got to be kidding me. Yunho in a musical?!?!? He's not a very strong singer to begin with so I can't imagine him pulling off a lead role in a musical. In fact, his castmates will probably outsing him on stage. And before his fans jump down my throat, yes, I've seen his performances and there's a reason why he always gets the least parts in DBSK songs.
