Boys Over Flowers: The Musical (Hangul: 꽃보다 남자 The Musical) is a South Korean adaptation of the Japanese musical, which was based on the manga by Yoko Kamio. Yumi Suzuki returned to direct.[1] It premiered on February 24, 2017 at Hongik Daehangno Art Center in Seoul, and ended on May 7 after eighty-eight performances.[2][3]
Plans for a Korean musical were first announced in November 2016.[4] The cast was unveiled in January 2017, which included singers J-Min and Min alternating the part of Tsukushi Makino, and Lee Chang-sub, Ken, and Kim Ji-hui as Tsukasa Domyoji.[5] Likewise, most of the cast rotated their parts, excluding Lee Da-som as Yuriko Asai.[1]
Tsukushi (played by J-Min and Min) attends Eitoku Academy, which is ruled by the tyrannical F4. Her life flips upside down when she becomes involved with F4's leader, Tsukasa (Lee, Ken, and Kim) who develops feelings for her. Meanwhile, Tsukushi's crush Rui Hanazawa (Lee Sung-min, Jeong Hui, and Kim Tae-oh) has his own romantic problems.
