T-Max rapper and Boys Over Flowers actor Kim Joon isn’t the lead role in his musical debut, but no matter: his name still drew flocks of fans to the Coex Artium on his first night onstage.
The musical Youth March [aka March of Youth, 젊음의 행진] began running on July 18, but the 29th marked Kim Joon’s first performance (which is double-cast between him and another actor). Lest you doubt the pull of his name, the audience fill rate rose 30% on that night from previous nights, nearly selling out the theater completely. According to Kim’s management, this is due not only to the attendance of his domestic fans, but even that of fans who’d come from other parts of Asia, such as Taiwan.
In the musical, Kim Joon plays the student teacher of main character Yongshimi, and sings songs like the 1980s tune “To You” (그대에게) and Lee Seung-chul’s “Last Concert” (마지막 콘서트). He will continue in the musical role through October 25.
