MBC’s popular romantic drama, “My Princess“, will be remade into a musical!

There’s a lot of excitement from the Korean musical community, as it was revealed that Lee Ji Na was named as its director, and popular composer Kim Hyung Suk will be in charge of the music. Lee Ji Na directed numerous musicals like “Midas Touch“, ”Hedwig“, “Greece“, “The Great Jang Geum“, and “The Phantom of the Opera“. Meanwhile, composer Kim Hyung Suk has worked with some of Korea’s biggest names in the music industry: his works with Shin Seung Hoon, Sung Shi Kyun, and Kim Jo Han have made his name especially popular amongst ballad fans.

With Song Seung Hun and Kim Tae Hee gaining much love as the “pure-eyed couple”, the musical is now facing the difficult task of casting lead actors who could follow in their footsteps.

A curtain call publisher stated, “I believe that the unique material of the reconstruction of Imperial Korea will fit well with the music and a new musical will be born. I expect there will be much discussion about the musical because of the popularity of the drama.”

He added, “Currently, a script is in the works and a huge audition will be held this June to cast the lead roles. After preparations are complete, we will meet the audience for 80 showings in March 2012.”
