The singer and actor, Lee Jee Hoon, who was cast as a hero of the musical “Hamlet,” will be on his first formal stage. The musical ‘Hamlet,’ which has been on the stage on open run at theater S in the SookMyung Art Center since late last month, is being loved by many women audiences as Park Kun Hyung, Lim Tae Kyung, Yoon Hyung Ryol are appearing as Hamlets.
Lee Jee Hoon is more active than anyone else in 2008 with shooting the KBS 1TV daily drama, “You Are My Destiny” and singing activities after releasing his sixth album and now he is showing himself as a further upgraded entertainer by being on the musical stage.
A producer of the musical Hamlet, Wang Yong Bum said, “Lee Jee Hoon makes us feel sorrowful all the more because he has prince-like looks so much.” “I have found Lee Jee Hoon has grown up as an actor whose acting sense gets better and who is good at expressing thoughts after piling up his acting career since musical 'Altarboyz.'"
He added, “Lee Jee Hoon is a desirable actor I would like to work with in the future.” He introduced Lee Jee Hoon’s stage confidently, saying, “I think his musical ‘Hamlet’ is a formal musical debut stage for Lee Jee Hoon and you can see his starting as a musical actor.”
Musical “Hamlet” is a work which needs much practices due to intense fencing scenes as well as the singing range that is hard even for the best musical actors. It is true that Lee Jee Hoon didn’t participate in the early practices because of the drama shooting and many other TV programs.
Now at rehearsals ahead of the performances, however, Lee Jee Hoon is showing the hero Hamlet which does never fall behind in comparison with other Hamlets played by other actors. He is presenting the outcome of his underneath great efforts so far. As Lee Jee Hoon, who has been doing his best from a singer with outstanding singing ability to an actor whose acting is recognized, I am looking forward to seeing his another characteristic on the musical stage.
