“Due to an insufficient number of female washrooms, some washrooms intended for use by males have also been converted to female washrooms.”
As each of the musical performances that Kim Junsu performs in attracts a large number of female audiences, even the washrooms in the performance venue have to be changed.
During the intermission of the performance of the musical “Elisabeth” on 15 February, during which Kim Junsu played the role of “Death (Tod)” , the number of female audiences in the washrooms at the Blue Square Musical Hall in Seoul spiked. On this day, (the management) of the theatre opened the male washrooms on the basement floor for use by female audiences. The caretaker turned away male guests who were trying to use that washroom by saying, “It’s only because Kim Junsu is performing today, please understand.”
Since their opening in November 2011, although the theatre has realised that there is a large influx of female guests when local musicals are being performed, and has since increased the number of female washrooms, it is still insufficient on days when Kim Junsu performs. The capacity of the female washrooms in the theatre are already the highest in Korea, with an average of 1 female washroom cubicle for every 25.9 seats. The Charlotte Theatre in Jamshil (only) has one female cubicle for every 33.5 seats.
Such “situations” arise because the tickets for shows in which Kim Junsu performs in are all sold out, and a majority of the audiences are female. Interpark, which provides the online ticketing service, expressed that over 99% of the buyers of tickets for Kim Junsu’s performances of “Elisabeth” are female purchasers. Although female purchasers may bring males along to watch the performance, but this is unseen in the history of Korea’s musical theatres.
The 20 shows of “Elisabeth” in which Kim Junsu will be appearing, with a total of 31,960 tickets, all sold out within 10 minutes. The tickets for his shows are also the only ones which are being resold by ticket scalpers. According to reports, prices in Japan have been marked up from the original 150,000 won to 100,000 yen (approximately 1,440,000 won). The theatre rents out approximately 100 opera glasses (binoculars used for watching performances or shows), but there are plans to purchase more in preparation for Kim Junsu’s performances.

*Proud* Junsu Fighting~~~!!!!
Interesting… I just discovered now that Elisabeth is Sissi that came to my place, in that time our island as known in the international medical guides as a clinic to cure pulmonary phthisis, so she came here to treat her illness! Also she came here to have some freedom and she really influenced our people a lot so our city decided to pay her a tribute on the gardens that she loved to do long walks, by doing a statue in bronze and natural size. I passed by the statue everyday to go to school and I swear that she was getting more familiar these days, now I understand why LOL… she is Elisabeth from Junsu musical!!! I dont think Im gonna look to the statue the same way.. Junsu is gonna come to my mind all the time XDD
If someone wants to see ..here a pic pf the statue:
That’s interesting! Thanks for sharing~
Your welcome :))
I have been reading up on ‘Elisabeth’, lately so this info is good to know. Thanx for the pic!
Time zone sucks >< she losed her family members one by one, her brother-in-law; the younger brother of her husband; Maximiliano; the drown of the husband of her sister and the death of her sister that got burned!! All this affected her emotionally, she was really depressed and her worries about her weight got worse by the time! She came two times to Madeira island, the first time she come here she spent almost 6 months, she really enjoyed because she felt free not like in the court where she had strict rules ! Sissi revealed that she felt suffocated: "Every boat that embark the coast, awakes my wish to embark too. I dont care where it goes, to Brasil or Africa, I just dont want to stay at one place forever! "
Yeah, Junsu Elizabeth musical impress me to googling the story, song, and character. True, Elizabeth life full of tragedy and misery.
how pretty! and interesting. thank you for sharing that! junsu now teaching history! hahaha! just by being in a musical.
LOL! This is hilarious XD
I’m under his spell too.. ~
LOL poor males~ please understand~ “it’s Kim Junsu!” XD
I would guess Junsu has a lot of male fans who like his voice, but what hope did they have to get tickets against those female fans competing for seats.
When Yuchun went to the premiere, it must have been all women + Yuchun, Junsu’s manager, and Junsu’s father. D
The male can’t beat the female in time like this. They will get stampede and crush. Womens power
Whoa..That’s crazy..and yet SO amazing! 😀
Fangirls! Wish I was one of them in the audience TT
With the amount of excitement … no wonder the restroom is not enough … JUNSU FIGHTING!!!!

“….. Xiah Junsu’s spell… 99% of audience of Musical Elisabeth is FEMALE…”
This should not come as a surprise to those of us in the know! hehehe 🙂
AND
“…All of 31,960 tickets for Kim Junsu’ 20 performances of musical ‘Elisabeth’ were sold out..”
OH YES! Thank You Xiapaws, Honeybreads, and ALL the Junsu fans for showing your mega support for Junsu!
You guys are AWESOME! You not only “talk-the-talk” but you “walk-the-walk” when it comes to showing your support.
You’ve given him the best gift possible.. you speak with your dollars!! 🙂
It’s good to hear this and all and I’m proud of him, but poor boy… He so wants to show the people what he is capable of as a musical actor but no way in hell anybody except his fangirls will ever have a chance to see him perform. Fans are killing each other for the tickets and Junsu doesn’t need to prove how amazing he is to the fans. We know. I would feel even more proud if he can perform before ordinary musical loving people and they would also think that way.
great.. but not impressed with it… are they all his fans?? i dont know.. coz i didnt go there obviously… fans already knew well that junsu is super duper talented.. but i want his talent to be watched by others, not only fans… real theater audience… *aaaaawh.. i’m being judgmental here… spank me!*
i want it to be a real theater with real theater audience and critics… not a junsu-concert-worshipper-type-of-theater.. *dang, i’m gaining hatred and haters here*
dont kill me, i am head to toe junsu worshipper like many you too… just that i want the best for him…
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaih..
i’m out of my mind i guessed.. kill me!
