Onew is a “Promising” new musical actor

Then, who is a “promising” new musical actor in his view? Musical director Lee Seongjoon did not hesitate to pick SHINee Onew who worked with him for the “Rock of the Ages.”
“Onew is like a sponge and has passion and power. A singer sometimes doesn’t pronounce clearly with music accompanied, but in a musical it can cause a problem to delivering emotions through words to the audience. But Onew’s pronunciation was very clear. If he were not a star, I’d have discovered him. Of course, Kyuhyun has a good mindset and does well. He is consistent.”
