The cast and crew of 'Musical-Goong' got together for their first rehearsal and made vows for the future of the show.
At the first rehearsal of 'Musical-Goong', which occurred on the 6th in a rehearsal room in Seoul, the cast and crew officially greeted each other for the first time followed by a four hour walk session and script run-through.
The cast who received the official script for the run-through had serious expressions on their faces like students holding tests in their hands. In the confrontational scene between Prince Lee Shin (U-Know Yunho) and Lee Yul (Lee Chang Hee), the two actors played their roles so realistically that the air crackled with tension.
On this day, fans who came to cheer for the musical's first rehearsal arrived with food and utilities for the cast and crew. They sent their warm support as they said, "The anticipation for 'Musical-Goong' is higher than ever. We are visiting to try to help the cast and crew in any way that we can."
U-Know Yunho and Run made sure that each cast and crew member received their food by handing out the boxes of food themselves, an act that was met by cheers from their fellow cast and staff members.
U-Know Yunho made a vow and said, "Since I'm a rookie in the musical industry, I will act and think like a rookie. I'm also the youngest of the male cast members. (laughter) This is the first time that the staff and cast of 'Musical-Goong' have all gotten together and I will concentrate and do my best for the musical."
When rehearsals were done, the cast and crew moved to Daehakro to hold a party to pray for the success of the musical.
"You've waited a long time. Thank you very much"

Three top stars of the same age will be battling it out in our living rooms.
Singer Lee Seung Gi, SS501’s Kim Hyunjoong (Leader) and Tohoshinki’s Yoochun will be starring in dramas during the August – September periods. Lee Seung Gi was born in early ’87, and Hyunjoong and Yoochun were born in ’86 are of the same age. They will be competing on the acting stage to see who comes out tops.
Firstly, Lee Seung Gi. His comeback midweek drama “My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox” is scheduled to start airing on 11 August on SBS. He plays a man who lives with a nine-tailed fox spirit (Shin Min Ah) whose seal is broken after 500 years.
So far, Lee Seung Gi’s star quality in acting has been recognized via his dramas “Famous Princesses” and “Shining Inheritance.” “My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox” will probably serve to establish his position as an actor further.
Next, Hyunjooong, whose acting debut was the role of Yoon Ji Hoo (Hanazawa Rui) from F4 in “Boys over Flowers.” He will be touching girls’ hearts again in MBC’s new midweek drama “Mischievous Kiss.” This drama, like “Boys over Flowers”, is adapted from a popular Japanese comic, and Hyunjoong’s character is expected to shine, just like the actual comic character.
“Mischievous Kiss” will be directed by Hwang In Roe, who also directed “Goong” and is expected to air in August after “Road Number One”.
Finally, Yoochun will be officially kicking off his acting activities in September with the KBS drama “SungKyunKwan Scandal.” Unlike Lee Seung Gi and Kim Hyunjoong, he will not be competing at the same time slots, but the pressure for his debut is still great. Together with Park Min Young, Soong Joon Gi & Yoo Ah-In, Yoochun will be part of “Chosun Dynasty’s F4,” helping to alleviate his burden.
“SungKyunKwang Scandal” has received much interest both locally and internationally, and distribution rights were sold to Japan even before production began.
After Lee Seung Gi, Kim Hyunjoong and Park Yoochun’s drama are over, Super Junior’s Choi Siwon and Tohoshinki’s Changmin will be taking over. Choi Siwon will be featured in SBS’s “Athena : Goddess of War” and Changmin will be acting in “Paradise Ranch.”
(T/N: Midweek dramas are actually called “Wednesday-Thursday” dramas, referring to the days that they are being aired on. “My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed fox” and “Mischievous Kiss” will be showing at the above day slots, while “SungKyunKwan Scandal” will be aired on Monday & Tuesday.)
Individual solo performances by each members were included in this 3 hours of special broadcast. This broadcast is to commemorate the release of their ‘Complete Set’.

Korean men who are gentle, determined, and in their twenties
Jejung and Junsu, who are receiving high popularity in Japan, are 25 years old in average. However, what’s their behaviour like when they are alone? We are here to interview MASAH-san and Yousuke-san who have been their stylists before.
MASAH-san said, “When they debuted in Japan, I thought they were going to be proud and overly confident. Surprisingly, they were very humble and polite. Maybe it was because of Korea’s culture; they were more respectful towards their seniors. They looked pleasantly different and handsome, too. By wearing suits, they showed off their perfect body shape. They are tall and well-built. In conclusion, no matter what they wear, they will still look perfect wearing tailor-made apparel. Being their stylist, I always think, ‘Ah, it was really worth it having this set of clothes worn by them.’ Also, their relationship with each other is extremely good, just like a family. Right now, when I think of it, it brings back good memories. Everyone was so blissful that time.”
Similarly, stylist Yousuke also said, “From their debut until now, nothing has really changed – despite gaining a lot of popularity in Japan, their attitude towards the others remains the same. Yet, they did get better and better in their music. Previously, when we were preparing for a concert in Osaka, not only did Jejung came to me regarding their clothing, he even went to my house to discuss about them. He did that just so the fans will be pleased. Also, the three of them love clothes, especially Yuchun and Jejung. They have a deep interest in Japanese fashion. Being their stylist, I felt very happy.”
Jejung, Yuchun, and Junsu are humble and gentle, and they work with a passion. The stylists felt that the three are very handsome, even though they were men too. Their charms are just irresistible.
Junsu (born in 1987), Jejung (born in 1986), and Yuchun (born in 1986) formed a new trio.

With the combination of a brown leather jacket and jeans, you’re told a little about his fashion style. The belt with the metal studs enhances the overall feeling. Yuchun, who stayed in the US before he debuted, suits this style very well.
Junsu, who started his solo activities as ‘XIAH junsu,’ wore cashmere and a military-style coat over a knit shirt and rigid jeans, giving it a very simple look. He even said that he wanted to try this style in private.
Jejung, who came to Seoul at the young age of 15 for his dreams, working and practicing at the same time, wore a black jacket and a shirt, combined with a pair of jeans with dark stripes; for accessories, there was only a silver necklace. Still, he wore the clothing with a very regal air.
