This article was written in 2016)



The music video for the Korea's musical Dorian Gray has been released.
Yes, it's KIMJUNSU(Xia junsu).
KIMJUNSU played Dorian, the title role in the musical Dorian Gray.
The music video is one of the number songs in the musical Dorian Gray.
The title is 'me who stopped beautifully'.

It is a song that expresses Dorian's heart, an aristocratic young man who wants to possess his beauty and youth forever.
The melody is very beautiful.
This beautiful music touches the heart first, not the ears.
The emotion and atmosphere of the original song would have been calmer.
However, the song became quite dramatic when KIMJUNSU sang it.
It seems to be discolored.

Kim's voice has a 'drama.'
The drama is also played in  'me who stopped beautifully'.
KIMJUNSU(Xia junsu) is a very experienced artist.
He may seem to lose control of his emotions and explode.
But it's a misunderstanding.
Listen to his song with concentration.
He has a tremendous ability to plant drama in his songs.
You'll notice it.

KIMJUNSU(Xia junsu) has an excellent ability to maintain balance.
He has a husky voice, but he articulates very small notes.
His ability to do this improved further as a musical actor.
Watch KIMJUNSU(Xia junsu) build the sensibility of the song with lyrics and melodies.
You'll feel like he's a 'music architect'.

Let's watch the music video now.
They are screens as if they captured a scene from a movie.
It is very beautiful and dreamy.

- Everything that's disappearing / This moment that's disappearing

This is the first phrase of this number.
This is repeated over and over again.

- Dorian. If you were me. Dorian. If I were you,
- Give me your time / I'll give you my heart
- Give me your youth. / I'll give you my soul

In musicals, there are repetitive numbers.
This is what we call a reprise.
But repeating doesn't mean calling it the same.
It is the same with this number.
In the second reprise, the atmosphere and power change delicately.
This is one of the specialties of KIMJUNSU(Xia junsu).

Just watching the music video makes me feel like I'm getting the musical Dorian Grey.
A fish named KIMJUNSU(Xia junsu) once again met its own water.

[K-MUSICAL] Musical Actors' Change of Name-Park Hosan's Success

Image
  Park Hosan (Photo by Sports Dong-A DB) There are quite a few actors who have changed their names. There must be many reasons for them to change their names. Changing names is no less difficult than changing faces. These are the most common reasons why actors change their names. First of all, their names are too common in Korea. Of course, there are many successful actors with ordinary names. Names like Kim Jun-su and Cho Seung-woo are also easy to meet in Korea. On the other hand, Park Hyo-shin is a hard name to meet. There is a Korean musical actor named Park Ho-san. He is more active in Korean dramas than in musicals these days. You can easily find him in Korean dramas on Netflix. But Park Hosan is not his real name. His real name was Park Jung-hwan. He has been an actor in Korean musicals and plays for a long time as Park Jung-hwan. But he wasn't as famous an actor as he is now. One day I was having dinner with the actors in Daehangno, Seoul. Among the actors was Park Jung-hwa

[K-MUSICAL] REVIEW "Attracted to MAMAMOO Solar style" Musical Mata Hari

Image
  MAMAMOO Solar's "Dance of the Temple" (Photo courtesy of EMK Musical Company) - A musical in which the main character has to carry a lot of things alone - Attracted voice, clear notes, and fresh acting - This is Solar's style - Young chemistry with Lee Changsub (Armand) of the same age Expectations in the pot boiled over. One of the fun things about watching a performance is the line of expectation. "That's it for today," I'll draw a line in my mind and go to the theater. The audience is satisfied when the performance of the day meets the expectation line. On the other hand, when the performance is wandering under the line, disappointment and anger pour in one after another. The best is a performance that breaks through the line of anticipation. A performance that rises coolly over a horizontal line as if an aircraft with wheels off the runway is soaring. The audience's mind becomes as distant as the back of the plane moving away.

[I LUV K-POP] BTS Butter Lyrics-Invitation to the Heart "get it, let it roll"

Image
  BTS Butter MV gym scene As BTS Jimin became a hot topic, BTS' hit song Butter also emerged as an issue once again. BTS fans around the world enjoyed listening to Butter's lyrics. It is true that Butter's lyrics are a little unfamiliar to Koreans because they are English lyrics. However, the short and concise English lyrics made a very strong impression on people. I liked to print out Butter's lyrics and hold them in my hand and watch BTS' Butter music video. Especially, I like the gym scene in the music video. This is because it is a scene where BTS's simple charm stands out. The  BTS  butter lyrics, which starts with "smooth like butter," leads to Jungkook, V, Jin, RM, Jimin, Suga, and J-Hope's parts. I think this is where the charm of  BTS  butter lyrics explodes. - Side step right left to my beat (heartbeat) High like the moon rock with me baby BTS invites people to their hearts. Call them close to their hearts. But you shouldn't run. Step
