Super Junior's Kangin tapped to play the lead role in "Goong" musical

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

After completing his two year mandatory military training, Super Junior member Kangin is set to make his comeback through a musical. SM Entertainment revealed today that Kangin has been offered the lead role in "Goong" musical which will be staged in Japan. As of the moment, nothing has been set yet and SM Entertainment is still in discussions for Kangin's participation.

If Kangin does take the role for "Goong," he will play the role of Lee Shin in the musical which will start its production at the U-Port Hall in Tokyo on September 1st. He will be the third idol to play the role after TVXQ's Yunho and SS501's Kim Kyujong who participated in previous productions.

"Goong" is a musical adaptation of the popular comic book of the same title. The book was also adapted into a drama series which featured Yoon Eunhye and Joo Jihoon back in 2006.

Should Kangin consider the musical as his comeback project?

YAY.

I hope he does this; otherwise I have a feeling SM will just box him away. /:

Rumours have him participating in the 6th, I'm curious if it will be all of it or just a song or two. I miss raccoon's voice.

i just want a little less of the YoungJin and more outside production. i think their regular producer is really tired at this point. but did you see the tweet/article mentioning this will be SJ funky? i hope it means more OneWay productions with Peter and Sky collabs.

i loled.

mostly because i'm vain and i don't think he's handsome enough to be lee shin (and yes i know musicals are not about looks, blah blah blah).

is this sme's way of checking if kangin is still relevant and can comeback with suju?

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

From what I've read, the play begins in September, and SJ's comeback is supposed to be July/August. And Kangin is supposedly participating in this comeback.

I'm excited for Kangin to get back to work and appear again regularly. I want him on variety or at least back on the radio

I didn't recognize him at first.

I hope they let him participate!

I wonder if that's a recent picture of him. If so, boy looking good.

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

No, that's from like 2009. He doesn't look as well groomed right now.

Next: Kim Kibum as "Death" in Elisabeth.

Don't care much for the play, since it's not like I can go see it, but I'm happy he's getting work.

Thankee, I'm rather fond of it myself. ^^

[islandgurl84.livejournal.com]

I just need Kangin back werking.

[aleash1989.livejournal.com]

I don't see why they're doing Goong again. I don't think there has been enough time between this production and the last, but what ever, Kangin's doing something again!

[shy-mizuno.livejournal.com]

YES! Kangin is getting back in the game!
