Park Kyung-rim, Lee Ji-hoon, Sunye, and Kim Dong-jun Again the show musical ‘Dream High’ appeared on Channel A’s ‘Best Friend Documentary 4-person Table’.

On the 15th, on Channel A’s ‘Best Friend Documentary Table for 4’, Lee Ji-hoon invited Sunye and Kim Dong-jun, who are currently performing on musical stage, to his table.MC Park Kyung-rim is also performing on musical stage as the ‘creative director’ and ‘principal of Kirin Arts High School’, so the four naturally continued talking about musicals.

Lee Ji-hoon, who plays ‘Kang Oh-hyuk’ in ‘Dream High’, revealed how he ended up joining the musical ‘Dream High’ as if it were fate, reuniting with his old best friend Park Kyung-lim.Park Kyung-lim recalled the moment when she met Lee Ji-hoon again after a long time, saying, “There was a friend who was originally supposed to play the role of ‘Kang Oh-hyuk’, but when an overseas schedule came up, we thought we should split the three actors into two.Then I went on ‘Immortal Song’, and Lee Ji-hoon appeared as a competition team with Son Jun-ho.” Lee Ji-hoon then recalled the moment when he met Lee Ji-hoon again after a long time.He said, “I went on ‘Mr.Trot 3’ but got eliminated in the semi-finals.I thought I would make it to the TOP 7, so I reserved my concerts, broadcasts, and even a trip to Japan every weekend.I went ‘all in’ on trot this year, but when I got eliminated, I thought, ‘What is this? What should I do?’” and recalled the moment of emptiness and bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Lee Ji-hoon met the ‘Dream High’ team through another program, and at the after-party, he heard that his ‘best friend’ Park Kyung-rim was worried about the casting gap for the role of ‘Kang Oh-hyuk’.Lee Ji-hoon said, “When I opened my eyes in the morning, Kyung-rim came to mind.I called her right away and said, ‘What do you think I would do as Kang Oh-hyuk?’”

Park Kyung-rim said, “It’s a creative musical, so the budget is limited, so I can’t pay you much,” and apologized, but Lee Ji-hoon said, “I was grateful.I had six months of free time on my schedule.Ru-hee was born, and I was worried about the cost of formula and diapers… and then a savior appeared.After that, I had a lot of work.I thought, this is how you meet a noble person,” and expressed his endless gratitude to Park Kyung-rim, making people laugh.

Sunye, who worked with Lee Ji-hoon on her first musical and met him again through ‘Dream High’, said, “Just watching my brother act on stage was a huge learning experience for me.Watching his breathing techniques and acting on stage was a huge help to me,” acknowledging Lee Ji-hoon’s textbook-quality 20-year experience as a musical actor.Park Kyung-rim also strongly sympathized with Lee Ji-hoon’s ability, saying, “Hard work is important” to her peers who have earned the title of ‘Musical Prince’ through consistent effort.

The show musical ‘Dream High Again(General Producer Kim Eun-ha),’ in which Lee Ji-hoon joins as ‘Kang Oh-hyuk’ and shows off a splendid performance with Park Kyung-rim, Sunye, and Kim Dong-jun, will continue its extended run at the Sindorim Link Art Center until July 20.Tickets can be purchased through Yes24 Ticket and Ticket Link.
