'Hedwig And the Angry Inch' the musical show starring this cast will run from May 14th till August 21st, and in addition to these two, Choi Jae Woong, Jo Jung Seok, and others will star in it as well. Kim Jae Wook is currently in a band in real life, so this may not be too big of a challenge for him.

Kim Jae-wook‘s fantastic transformation in drag for the Korean adaptation of 'Hedwig And the Angry Inch', the rock musical by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask. He’s been starring in this stage adaptation since May 14, and has announced that June 19 will be his last performance, due to his impending enlistment in the army.

Kim Jae-wook is a 1983er, which means he’s 28 this year (and 29 in Korea), so totally due for the army. Kim did debut post-college, and post-indie-band-days. His band Walrus self-produced an album earlier this year, and he had two big roles in the past drama year — wasted in 'Mary Stayed Out All Night' and a breakout in 'Bad Guy' with Kim Nam-gil.

Kim said of having to leave Hedwig early: “The moment I read and heard Hedwig‘s music, I trembled, and I had the feeling that I had to do this, so I feel regret [in having to leave the project]. Though I’m leaving to defend the country, I’ll do my best till the end.”
