Korean singers Kim Kyung-rok of pop trio V.O.S. and Jung Hee-chul of idol group ZE:A, who are currently starring in the Korean musical "2010 Lunatic Dream Team," are attracting scores of Hallyu fans to their shows.
The two singers, who have been appearing in "Lunatic" since July 16, are said to be bringing in Japanese fans to Korea to see their shows.
Singer Kim Kyung-rok expressed his gratitude for fans who flew in from overseas, saying he did not expect that so many people would come to see him perform.
"In 'Lunatic,' there is a humor code throughout the two-hour running time... Although the Japanese fans understand Korean a little bit, it is still hard for them to understand comedy [in Korean]," explained Kim. "It makes me work really hard just to pay them back for their passion and coming from afar to see my show despite that [language barrier]."
The show features numerous veteran musical actors who had appeared in previous productions of "Lunatic" including Kim Sun-kyung, So Chan-whee and Lim Choon-gil.
"Lunatic" will run at Seoul's Mapo Art Center until September 5.
