Actor Lee Howon continues to make his presence felt on stage, announcing his casting in the musical "Girlfriend."
The musical "Girlfriend" was created based on songs from Matthew Sweet's album of the same name and depicts the relationship between two young men, Will and Mike, who are about to graduate from high school in the 1990s. It was recognized for its artistic merit and was a hit in performances in the United States and Japan, and it is drawing attention as it prepares for its domestic premiere.
In the play, Lee Howon plays Mike, a good-looking football player. He appears outwardly confident and free but harbors inner wounds and longs for a change in his life. Lee Howon will lead the production by portraying a complex character who experiences the pain and growth of youth with delicate acting and powerful vocals.
Last year, Lee Howon drew great attention after successfully completing the musical "Solo Leveling on ICE." In the new genre performance that combined an ice show and musical, he demonstrated stage dominance by handling high-level skating and acting at the same time. He also accumulated stage experience by showing stable acting through various works such as the musicals "Sandglass," "Swag Age: Shout, Joseon!," and "Secretly, Greatly: THE LAST." In addition, following the dramas "Reply 1997," "Check In Hanyang," and the films "Birth" and "There Is No Heaven," he expanded his acting spectrum with his first Hollywood leading role, "The Other Side of Winter," showing active activities at home and abroad.
As he continues to show stable acting across television, film and stage, interest is focused on how Lee Howon will express the anxieties and thrills of youth in the musical "Girlfriend."
Meanwhile, the musical "Girlfriend," in which Lee Howon appears, will run at Baekam Art Hall from Mar. 31 to June 7, and the first ticket sale will be held on Feb. 27 (Fri.) at 2 p.m. on NOL Ticket and YES24 Ticket.
