Youngjae from ‘Dream High’ shared his thoughts on joining the show.
On the afternoon of the 25th, a press conference for the show musical Again ‘Dream High’ was held at the Rize Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul. After a demonstration of highlight scenes, a Q&A session took place with the attendance of executive producer Kim Eun-ha, director Yeom Hyun-seung, choreographer Choi Young-jun, creative director Park Kyung-rim, Kim Dong-jun, Youngjae, Choo Yeon-seong, Yoo Kwon, Sun-ye, Lee Ji-hoon, and Park Jun-kyu.
Youngjae, who plays the role of Song Sam-dong and participated in the OST work, said, “At first, I was only going to sing for the OST. When I went to work on it, I received a handwritten letter from Park Kyung-rim, and I was so grateful. I felt that I could have a happy time, so I decided to join.” He added, “I thought of a character that is friendly and soft but also strong rather than rough.”
The show musical Again ‘Dream High’ is based on the drama of the same name starring Kim Soo-hyun and Bae Suzy, which aired on KBS2 from January to February 2011, depicting the story of the main characters after graduating from high school. It returned for an encore performance two years after its premiere in May 2023.
