SS501 member Kim Kyujong has expressed his desire to be a part of musicals before. Now, he just might have the chance to fulfill that dream. He is rumored to have been accepted for the Japanese version of the musical adaptation of Korean drama series “Goong.” That sounds exciting, no?

Word has been spreading around that Kyujong will play the role of Prince Shin. Who played this character in the Korean version of the production? It was none other than DBSK’s charming Jung Yunho. Don’t get your hopes to high about Kyujong yet. B2M Entertainment said, “It’s true that we’ve received talks and invitation from the ‘Goong’ musical, but it’s not confirmed as yet. We’ll release news next week through the homepage.” Well, I guess we can wait…

“Goong” is said to be scheduled in Kyoto Minami Theaters in Japan, from June 4th to the 23rd.
If Kyujong is granted the role of Prince Shin, I wonder if fans will start comparing his acting to Yunho’s from before. I have not watched the whole entire series of “Goong,” only the spin-off that Se7en is in, “Goong S,” so I might want to catch up on that first before the Japanese version comes out.

I, for one, shall be looking forward to more information about this Japanese production of “Goong” and am hoping that Kyujong lands a part in it!

Who is anticipating a Japanese version of this musical?
