If Kim KyuJong from SS501, was ‘Sun’ in the popular drama ‘Secret Garden’?
According to several people in broadcast industry, Kim KyuJong received an invitation for the cast role ‘SUN’ in SBS drama ‘Secret Garden’ which was broadcasted last year.
After Kim KyuJong, Park JaeBum who is previously from 2PM was also given the chance to take up the role of ‘SUN’, but both of them declined so finally Lee JongSuk was selected for the role.
In the drama, SUN is a genius musician who keeps bickering with Oska (played Yoon SangHyun) and secretly admires him. Singer Kim KyuJong matches the role very well because the role of SUN is a musician and there were lots of scenes where he sings. However, it was rumored that Kim KyuJong was not well prepared or acting yet at that time therefore rejected the role.
In the end, the role of SUN was played by Lee JongSuk, and despite being a newcomer, he is able to act out the prickly and cold role easily, and gained much attention as a rookie actor.
Meanwhile, Kim KyuJong will play the role of Lee Shin in musical ‘Goong’ which will be played in Minamiza Theatre in Kyoto, Japan from 11-June to 1-July. His transformation into an actor has gained much anticipation from fans.
