More recently, the formation of the cast of the musical The man who laughs was revealed online.
EMK music company posted the official photos and revealed Park Eun Tae, Lee Seok Hoon, Kyuhyun, AND Doyoung as cast for the role of Gwynplaine.
Although three actors have already played this role, it will be Doyoung’s first time.
Although music fans were not in favor of the formation…

Can we please have musical actors do musicals… what is this?
- “This musical is not easy, considering that other musical actors even use oxygen masks while performing. We are worried because the cast includes an idol without much experience.”
- “Does EMK have something why they can’t stop using SM idols for shows?”
- “…..? And they won’t bring any musical actors?”
…others claim that all the actors have had experience with musicals.
I’ve been a music fan for ten years, and those who say that Kyuhyun and Lee Seok Hoon aren’t authentic musical actors are simply out of the loop or trolling. Music fans will know their filmography and understand that they are not beginners. Music fans do not try to divide them between musical actors and singers. If people try to troll them, they should do their research first.
I’m a music fan and Kyuhyun and Lee Seok Hoon are actors you can trust and look up to. If you talk about ‘authentic musical actors’ nowadays, you will be criticized even by music fans.
Even though I’m a music fan, I watched both Kyuhyun and Lee Seok Hoon. Both are talented and musical actors. They both have a lot of history with entertainment, so please stop trying to divide them into musical actors and singers.
In Doyoung’s case, although this will be his first time for this musical, he has already had experience with the role of Count Axel von Fersen, in Marie Antoinette in 2021.
Meanwhile, the musical will begin on January 9, 2025 at the Seoul Arts Center Opera Theater in Seoul.
