[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Trot singer Shinyu returns to the public with the musical 'Siddhartha.'

Shinyu will appear as the male lead, Gautama Siddhartha, in the musical 'Siddhartha,' which opens on March 8.

The musical 'Siddhartha' highlights the life of Gautama Siddhartha, who attained enlightenment as a human being rather than a god 2,600 years ago. It depicts the life story of Siddhartha, born as the crown prince of the Kapilavastu kingdom, who embarks on a journey of renunciation and asceticism to reach enlightenment.

Shinyu will share the role of Gautama Siddhartha with Park Si-hwan and Park Si-won in a triple casting.

The role of 'Mara Papiyas,' who tempts Siddhartha down the path of endless torment, will be played by Go Yoo-jin, Yoon Hyung-ryul, and Yoon Jin-woong.

Now in its fourth season, the musical 'Siddhartha' will present a solid dramatic structure and three-dimensional characters with the addition of new creative staff, including adapter and director Choi Min-wook and choreographer Kim Do-hoo.

A representative from the production company MSMC explained, "Along with a dense story, new songs composed by music director Jo Beom-jun have been added to vividly and beautifully portray Siddhartha's journey."

The musical 'Siddhartha' will be available to watch at Woori Financial Art Hall starting March 8. Detailed information about the performance can be found on the official SNS accounts and website of the production company MSMC.
