Coffee Prince’s scene-stealing “Harim,” or actor
Kim Dong-wook, is taking the stage for his musical debut in the lead role of frank and straightforward “Alex” in the production of
On Air: Season 2.
On Air: Season 2 is described as a “cheerful romantic
musical” that takes place at a radio station, centering around a
younger DJ and a stiff older female PD (gawd, run that older-female
trend/cliché into the ground, will ya?). Despite sharing its name with
the popular
SBS drama series, the two
On Airmusicals (Season 1 ran earlier this year) share only a tenuous link to
the drama; this isn’t an adaptation or sequel, but rather a loose
spin-off.
Kim Dong-wook’s character in the musical takes some of its cues from
real life, it seems. Apparently Alex in Season 1 was a idol singer who
faced lip-synching accusations. But now in Season 2, he’s called away
to fulfill his military service, and finds himself coming back after
his discharge to unexpected public attention. He dreams of making a
grand comeback while working as a radio DJ.
The musical runs from October 7 through January 4 of next year.
