Musical Jo Kwon
I love discovering new things and after Jo Kwon's post with J Hope today I have been digging into their career. Jo has made a pretty good career in musicals and I love me a good musical.
Jesus Christ Superstar (2013)
One of my favourites of all time, watched the movie countless times and seen at least three stage productions the last one being at the Barbican, London in 2019 with Samuel Battery in the part of Herod.
Here is Paul Jabara singing Herod's song.
Jo Kwon played Herod in the stage production at the Charlotte Theatre in Seoul in 2013.
And here Jo is taking a curtain call.
Priscilla Queen of the Desert (2014)
Excellent bittersweet film about family, the one we are born into and the one we make for ourselves as we move through life. Jo Kwon played the role of Adam the youngest drag queen originally played by Guy Pearce.
The production premiered at the LG Arts Center production in July 2014. Jo apparently received a lot of criticism for taking on this role but the reviews I have read have been very good,
"Making the ongoing production more convincing and wildly entertaining is the talented Korean cast that includes Go Young-bin, Kim Ho-young and Kim Dae-hyun, who have previously taken up queer characters in the 2012 production of “La Cage aux Folles.” Singer Jo, too, shows off his impressive acting chops, impeccably portraying the young, flamboyant Adam."

Everybody's Talking about Jamie (2020)
This musical was inspired by a 2011 documentary Jamie: Drag Queen at 16 and premiered in the West End of London in 2017. It has since been made into a film which was released in 2021.
The Jo Kwon production also premiered at the LG Arts Center from July to September 2020 and Jo alternated the role with Ren from NU'EST, MJ from Astro and Shin Joo-Hyup.

thinking about best friend?hobie who always has an arm looped around your neck, putting his whole body weight against your side until you’re forced to shove him off you. but he’d manage to tug you back by a grip to your clothes, his chin now resting against your shoulder, your back partially pressed against his front, as you’d chuckle, muttering “hobie, get off me”. he would choose not to hear you as his calloused fingers would move to play with hair. friendship pda would describe you both — just hobie — rather well. his sly touches he claims as ‘friendly’. it’s normal for a friend to kiss a friend on the neck. it’s normal for a friend to have you sit between his legs. all things normal, that are in fact far from it. that guy who had asked you out, suddenly can’t make it? hobie shrugs it off, saying what a dick he is, while simultaneously linking your fingers with his. he needs you close, especially after a hard mission. you’re his friend, you should kiss his cuts better. that’s what friends do. and if his hands begins to slip down to your inner thigh, your brows shouldn’t furrow like that, he’s a friend comforting you. and shh, yes his hand is moving lower, and yes he’s now leaving marks on your neck. marks everyone else can see. but no he doesn’t have a crush, and neither do you. you’re just best friends. and there’s nothing wrong with hobie’s touches. there’s nothing wrong with his lingering gazes. your best friend hobie. your close friend. don’t pay mind to labels even as his lips are nearing yours…
