[TRANS] Oricon - Tohoshinki Yunho’s Takes 1st & 2nd Place In The DVD Drama Category

His first leading role as an actor, Tohoshinki’s Jung Yunho’s drama “No Limit ~Heading to the Ground~ Complete DVD Box I” and “DVD BOX II” (released on the 16th) has sold over 14,000 copies within the first week, taking the 1st and 2nd placing on the drama category of the Oricon Weekly chart. (2nd and 3rd on the overall chart.) From the same group, Junsu, Jejung & Yuchun have formed a new unit, and Yunho himself will be starring in the Korean Musical “Goong,” doing other activities aside from singing, proving that their popularity has not waned.

For Korean dramas, the last “One-two” finish had occurred on 26 March 2007, for the making of Bae Yong Joon’s “The Legend”, titled “The Legend Preview DVD Gold Edition” and “Silver Edition” It has been 3 years and 3 months since then.

This drama was produced by Korea’s MBC, and is currently airing on Korean entertainment channel KNTV, in Japan. It is a youth love comedy drama. Yunho plays the role of a soccer player with unknown potential, whose team disbands and the story unfolds as he struggles, grows and love blossoms between himself and those around him.

The DVD comes in a set of 5 discs, 4 of which contain the main story. The final disc is a special containing cast interviews, the making films. Other premiums such as a special photobook are also included.

[NEWS] 100607 - U-Know Yunho Takes the Lead in Goong Musical

Now THIS I can see!: Dong Bang Shin Ki’s leader U-Know Yunho has been cast in the lead role of Prince Shin in the musical adaptation of the phenomenally popular drama series Goong, playing the role originated by Joo Ji-hoon in the drama version.

Too bad this couldn’t have been Yunho’s acting debut, rather than the ill-fated and flaw-ridden soccer drama Heading to the Ground. As the leader of a hugely popular idol band, Yunho has already proven his dancing and singing skills, and making the transition from the pop stage to the musical stage seems more suited to him (and more forgiving a jump should he falter). Taking the lead role in a drama series as his acting debut was, unfortunately, biting off more than he could chew, but I’d actually really love to see him in the musical.

The musical version of Goong is produced by Group Eight and will open at the Seoul National Museum’s theater on September 8.
