[NEWS] Actress Who Played Junsu’s Counterpart in Mozart! Says Junsu Was the Exception to the Rule

Jung Sunah, rising musical actress who played the counterpart to Junsu in Mozart!, had an interview in which she mentioned Junsu in a positive way:

“I think I became known to the general public when I played the counterpart to JYJ’s Junsu. At that time my fans increased a lot.”

(…)

When asked (by the interviewer) whether she “has any complaints as a musical actress when actors without experience but have gained popularity on TV easily take the lead roles in musicals,” she immediately answered: “I really hate it.”

“I’ve come to wear colored glasses (with regards to matters like that). For those actors and singers who were cast (on musicals despite lack of experience) like that, one could perhaps say that they are just doing what they are commanded to do by their companies. But in those cases I’ve seldom seen them meld into the regular cast and have fun… Ok Juhyun and Kim Junsu were diligent and put in such effort that they were exceptions (to the rule). But there were many times that I wondered ‘why did they cast this person’.”
