Fans Worry About YoSeob's Health

With the latest news that YoSeob was cast in a musical 'Gwanghwamun Sonata', a lot of fans expressed their worries about his health.


Being in such a project requires him to allot more time for practice in singing, dancing and acting all at the same time and to think that he was also the main vocalist of his group BEAST and they were preparing for their ENCORE concert and their Japanese debut now.


YoSeob probably is one of the busiest young people in the world today but definitely living a sensible life.


His agency, CUBE Entertainment released a statement, ” Because of Beast’s encore concert, Japanese debut and comeback preparations, it is of course taxing on Yoseob to appear in a musical, but he thinks that starring in a good production is a very good opportunity for him, so his dejection on missing out on this chance made him decide to act in it in the end. Of course his schedule is very hectic, but right now his top priority is to maintain his current condition as an artist, so he has put a lot of thought into getting enough rest.”


The said musical will open on the 20th of March at the Seoul Sejong Cultural Centre’s Grand Theater and has started selling tickets since the 25th of January. He would play a role of one of the son of the main character. Songs by composer Lee Young Hoon will be used.

YoSeob Casted in GWANGHWAMUN SONATA, a Musical

Finally, YoSeob was casted in a musical, it will be his very first stage play musical performance and it was just right for him to be in one being one of the best singers that originate from famous idol groups nowadays.

He attended the press conference of the said musical in Seoul Plaza Hotel’s Grand Ballroom on January 24th right after he came from the recording of Idol Athletic Sports Championship. 

He even tweeted that day that he didn't have the chance to sleep at all and needed to head at once to the press conference.

He told the reporters that he was hesitant before to take up the cast offer. “When my company first asked me if I knew of any song by composer Lee Young Hoon, I realized that I didn’t. When they asked me whether I knew ‘Red Sunset,‘ I said that I had heard it before. The company told me that I could be considered for a role in the musical, ‘Gwanghwamun Sonata,’ which left me worried since I didn’t know any song by composer Lee.”

Yoseob continued, “Afterwards, I found out more about the composer and heard more things about senior Lee Moon Sae and director Lee Jina; I then wanted to take part in the musical. I’ll be working hard to ensure that I do not cause harm to the musical.”


Yoseob will be playing as ‘Jiyong,’ the son of the two leading roles.

Director Lee Jina added, “Yang Yoseob and Heo Gyu were double-cast for one role. The difference between their ages are vast, but I think Yoseob will fit the role since he’s closer to the age of ‘Jiyong.’ Heo Gyu is a bit older, but because of his youthful looks, he’ll be able to bring out the 21-year-old ‘Jiyong.’”

Over 30 songs will be used for the musical, which is scheduled to run from March 20th to April 10th at the Sejong Culture Theater Hall.

The lady didn't even blink and answered "Honestly, it would be DooJoon." What could be more humiliating than that answer?
