The next role is Goo Seung Joon, who is originally played by Kim Jung Hyun. In the show, he is an intelligent, charming, but poor South Korean conman with British citizenship but has a ruthless side because of his past.

In the show, the role is split between two ’96 liners, and it’s none other than ASTRO’s JinJin and THE BOYZ‘ Sangyeon. While JinJin has experience in musicals, Sangyeon will be making his musical debut but will undoubtedly impress with his strong vocals and stage presence.
