Last week, musical actress Park Haemi guested on cable channel QTV’s “Soo Mi Ok” and talked about her family life and professional career.
When MC Kim Jongmin asked her, “There are a lot of musical actors who debuted as idols — is there anyone that you think is particularly good and talented?” she chose Kim Junsu, who is currently reprising his role in the musical Mozart.
She went on to explain that she appreciated how idols are attempting to be well-rounded entertainers these days, but warned that they need to practice. A lot.
“If they practice diligently and do their best, then they will be able to show their true merit.”
The fact that Park Haemi acknowledged Junsu’s talent is pretty significant, since just last year she told reporters that musicals starring idol singers were not true musicals — they were just events where idols perform.
She had said it was becoming a real issue within the musical industry, and that these gimmicky events were a disservice to audiences who wanted to see real art.
Park Haemi, who has also starred in the television sitcom Unstoppable Highkick and most recently in the drama Daemul, is a well-respected musical actress. She’s also currently one of the judges on Kim Yuna’s Kiss and Cry figure-skating reality show.
