JYJ's Xiah JunSu,
"I Want To Stand On The
Same Stage As Jo Seung Woo"

The rising star of the musical scene, JYJ's Xiah JunSu has expressed his wish of standing on the same stage as actor Jo Seung Woo.

Starting from February next year, JunSu will be taking the role of the main lead in the major musical production 'Tears of Heaven', and meet with his fans. Having shown his talents as well as ticketing influence for 'Mozart', JunSu will be a rookie actor worthy of attention in the musical scene.

When the recent topics of comparison between JunSu and Jo Seung Woo whose musical 《JEKYLL AND HYDE》 will be showing the same time next year as 《Rival》 came up, JunSu replied, "To Jo Seung Woo sunbae who has given me lots of advice, I am very thankful and also sorry. To put it simply, it is my honor."

JunSu also added on that even though he has been a singer for around 6 to 7 years already, it has been less than a year since his debut as a musical actor. To be able to be compared to Jo Seung Woo sunbae who is considered to be the best in the industry, he is already very happy, but he also felt pressured as he feels there is the need to work harder. In addition, he said that this is the first time he mentioned about wanting to work with Jo Seung Woo. But truthfully, 《JEKYLL AND HYDE》 is also a musical that he wants to give a try at no matter what. But if it’s the same role that they were playing, then he will not be able to perform with Jo Seung Woo, hence he hoped to play other roles in the musical to fulfill this wish.

On the other hand, 'Tears of Heaven', the musical JunSu is acting in, managed a sell out of 15 000 tickets in just 5 minutes after its sales began. Tickets costing as much as 1, 300 000 won were also bought from a black market by fans.

'Tears of Heaven' depicts a romance storyline which took place during the Vietnam War, and it is a joint production between the Seol Company and Greative Production. The composers of 《JEKYLL AND HYDE》, Frank and Sweeny Todd, as well as Gabriel Berry, a cast from Broadway also participated in the musical this time. JunSu will be playing the role of a Korean soldier dispatched to Vietnam during the war.
