Despite Being Without the Title of an Idol,
Prince Jung Still Exerts Tremendous Effort

Why did Park Soojin and U-Know Yunho act as a couple in the waiting room during the Goong Musical? It was initiated by the 'Crown Prince,' Yunho. The photo taken by the two in the waiting room added interest and attention to the musical.

Starting from the 9th of September to the 24th, U-Know Yunho took on the role of the Crown Prince in the musical "Goong" which was held at the National Central Arts Museum. The musical "Goong," like "Phantom of the Opera," "Miss Saigon," and "Cats," has overcome the restrictions of a staged musical, being created purey as a national composition.

The biggest attraction of this musical is said to be its mixture of music from previous periods and classical music with hip-hop and jazz. The blend of ballet and dances from older eras with street dancing and music is also said to be one of the musical's biggest charms.

Starting from last month, U-Know Yunho's performance in "Goong," with narrations as well as break dancing, have resulted in good and positive reviews on the musical.

Because of U-Know Yunho, the musical not only received support from Korean fans, but also from a huge amount of both Japanese and international fans.. On the 9th of the previous month, fans sent in 3.1 tons of food to the venue of U-Know Yunho's first performance.

During the press conference for the musical, the director of "Goong" said, "After practicing for approximately four months, U-Know Yunho put in a tremendous amount of hard work in becoming an actor for a musical instead of being an idol." The director praised him and said that he liked Yunho's leadership skills onstage, and that he looks forward to his growth as an actor in musicals in the future.
