musical actor Kim Ho Young's sniper sparked a controversy over the musical 'Elisabeth' casting of Ock Joo-hyun.
On Wednesday, Kim Ho Young said through his social networking service account: "Asaripan is an old saying. Now, I have posted an image of an emoticon that symbolizes the picture and stage of the jade plate with a short article called "Jade plate".
Kim Ho Young's remarks were interpreted as a roundabout shot at Ock Joo-hyun, saying that the 'Ok' signifies Ock Joo-hyun. Coincidentally, on the same day, the entire casting of musical 'Elisabeth', in which Ock Joo-hyun participated as the main character, was revealed.
Elisabeth, which premiered in 2012, will be held on August 25th for the tenth anniversary this year. In addition to Ok Joo-hye, Lee Ji-hye played the role of Queen Shi, Shin Sung-rok Kim Jun-soo, Nomin Woo Lee Hae-jun, Lee Ji-hoon Kang Tae Park Eun-tae and Luceni Park,
This "Elisabeth" is known as the last season of the 10-year history ahead of a major change in production, and casting has been revealed in the face of heightened fans' expectations. However, it was announced that the casting of actors who had previously played Si-si, such as Kim So-hyun Shin Young-sook, was not revealed immediately after the release.
After the casting release, Kim So-hyun posted on SNS "Happy and Thank you" and posted the videos that had been taken during the performance. Lee Ji-hoon, who confirmed his appearance in Elisabeth, left a comment saying "Bunky Ehyo" and was forced to speculate that Kim So-hyun's appearance was not misplaced for reasons that were not clear.
Lee Ji-hye, who also plays the role of Mr. Si, is a company like Ock Joo-hyun and has boasted a strong relationship with Ock Joo-hyun to train himself. Gil Byeong-min, who made his musical debut, is also known to have built up a relationship with Ock Joo-hyun through JTBC 'Phantom Singer 3'. There was a suspicion that Ock Joo-hyun had an indirect impact on casting.
Kim Ho Young has never appeared in "Elisabeth" and has been involved in the work, but has been acquainted with Ock Joo-hyun in the past and has been active as an actor for a long time in the musical system. Therefore, musical fans are also divided into two sides with Kim Ho Young's sniper.
After the controversy grew, Kim Ho Young deleted the related SNS post. Kim Ho Young, an official of the agency, said in this paper, "I know that I deleted the article, and I do not know the exact situation of the article." "Elisabeth" production company EMK Company also said that it does not know about the controversy, and "casting is the authority of the production company."
