Lee Seung-hoon, who became Kim Soo-hyun, takes on the challenge of being an idol and musical actor

In the meantime, many former idols have attempted musical performances. This time it is Winner Lee Seung-hoon. Seunghoon Lee will be performing on stage for the first time in a musical with 'Dream High'.

The musical 'Dream High', which opens at Gwanglim Arts Center's BBCH Hall on the 13th, is based on the Monday-Tuesday drama 'Dream High', which aired on KBS2 from January to February 2011. It depicts the story after the main characters graduate from high school.

Kim Soo-hyun, Suzy, IU, 2PM Taecyeon, and Wooyoung appeared in the drama 'Dream High'. Seunghoon Lee plays the role of Song Sam-dong in the play. In the drama, Song Sam-dong debuted as a singer and showed a brilliant performance. Seunghoon Lee plans to show Song Samdong, who debuted as a singer.

Lee Seung-hoon, Eum Moon-seok, and SF9's Yoo Tae-yang were triple cast in the role of Song Sam-dong. The musical 'Dream High' combines dance with an existing musical. Because ‘Dream High’ is a fusion of a show and a musical, the focus was on performance.

You can also see creative choreography from various genres such as hip-hop, rocking, and b-boying. Choreography director Youngjun Choi and dancers representing each genre were recruited to create the creative choreography in 'Dream High'. Expectations are high to see what Song Sam-dong will be like when he meets Lee Seung-hoon, who is active as the main dancer in Winner, and what Song Sam-dong, Lee Seung-hoon's other representative, will look like with Eum Moon-seok and SF9's Yoo Taeyang.

Previously, Art One Company, the production company of 'Dream High', released a character teaser. In the released teaser, Lee Seung-hoon showed off Song Sam-dong, who succeeded as a K-pop star with a global fan base. However, Song Sam-dong, who develops tinnitus in his ears and makes a fatal mistake, is powerfully portrayed.

Seunghoon Lee showed Song Samdong dancing alone in the practice room with a dazzling creative performance. Afterwards, the character's internal conflict was shown through choreography with Shim Hyun-seo, who appeared as her high school self in the mirror.

Lee Seung-hoon expressed his determination, saying, “I am taking on the challenge of performing a musical for the first time on Winner, so there are a lot of expectations. I plan to meet you as Song Sam-dong in the musical.”

There are many people who have gone from being idols to becoming musical actors. Starting with Kim Junsu and Ock Joo-hyun, there are Super Junior's Kyuhyun and Ryeowook, Girls' Generation's Tiffany and Seohyun, EXO's Suho, VIXX's Leo, B1A4's Sandeul, Shinwoo, 2AM's Jo Kwon, and Infinite's Sunggyu. There are still many people who boast their ticket power by going back and forth between singers and musical stages.

Seunghoon Lee will attend the 'Dream High' press call held on May 17th. After the preview performance is posted, you can meet Lee Seung-hoon, who transformed into Song Sam-dong, through a press call. Attention is being paid to what Lee Seung-hoon, who is the first Winner member to attempt a musical performance, will look like.
