There are a lot of photos of Jung Min from several portals from the musical play Kizuna today.

Jung Min is in Japan since the other day and is part of the musical play Kizuna where in he is playing the role of a foreign exchange student. From Jung Min's tweet yesterday, he was part of the second show [which i think is the gala].

Jung Min will be participating in the play until the 23rd of November, then he will be back in Korea and will be busy promoting his first solo album which will come out on the 25th of November.

Much thanks to hirominnie43 for tweeting the link for this photos.

[first part omitted]

A story of outgoing twink [?] full-day high-school students and another one of troublesome part-time high-school students with strong character. A youth story featuring Teru Kagimoto, as well as Kei Furuya, leading actors is developed in the stage with dynamic dance and song performance. At New National Theater, the distance between the stage and audience is very close, which gives you an excitement of live performance.

The character of Jung Min is a foreign student from Korea, Jeung Sol (?), who made a debut as a singer because of his performance before his graduation from high-school. Jung Min’s first scene was a flashback of his legend performance. His dance was so cool, while his song being with much of emotion, “ I miss you I miss you “ . He will definitely receive a big cheer at the live stage. As his pronunciation of Japanese is very clear, the meaning of a painful lyric can directly be delivered to the audience.








The second scene of Jung Min was a powerful dance performance. The hairstyle with a bit dark black than usual gives a sharp impression. Though he appeared twice at the Chapter 1, giving a strong impact which continued to Chapter 2. When he made a chat over an international call, there were many lines he spoke. He spoke in Japanese with a bit lisp which just fit his character as a student from Korea. Though he usually speaks Japanese fluently, he showed a miraculous acting by differentiating pronunciation.

There were only staff and related people at the rehearsal; Jung Min’s Japanese with a lisp made was good enough to make them laugh.

In the Chapter 2, there was another scene where he danced with his professor.




After joining the big chorus, Jung Min sang, showing a dance performance with lead actors as well as others at the ending. He was introduced at the end (which means “a star performer”) , which was good enough to show his presence. A very fresh stage performance.





“ Bonds – Boys be ambitious “ will have 8 performance till Nov. 23. For further information, please refer to HP(http://www.enter-tm.com/)

Liezle, sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the gala? Is Jung Min only doing the second shows? But I thought in his earlier PJM Cafe message, he said he was waiting for his part in the second show and that he was nervous but he had done well and he thanked the fans who cheered very loudly? So it sounds like he already performed in the first show? Sorry, I'm just confused. Anyway, thank you for the photos. Jung Min looks great on stage again!

Hi 12:01. Oh yeah you are probably right. I was thinking that there are 2 shows, one matinee and one gala and I was thinking that he's doing the gala show [more formal audiences]and not the matinee show. ^_^ .

I'm so glad that he is doing so well. But isn't he too skinny? He needs to put a little more weight that goes yo Hyun Joong too. Being skinny is ok but too skinny is not.
They are all looking well. Looking forward on Nov. 23rd.

Thanks so much to lafone for the translation!
I'm so happy to read that he received such good reviews. And I'm really impressed that JM even changed his accent for the performance. It's not easy to cutely add a thicker Korean accent to his Japanese but still be understandable to the audience. Great job, JM!
I really hope we get some video footage of his performance, like the emotional song and powerful dance song!
Thanks, Liezle~
