In the musical 'Death Note' which opens in Korea on October 14, INFINITE's Sunggyu, B1A4's Sandeul, and Tang Junsang will play the role of L, while MeloMance's Kim Minseok, Cho Hyungkyun, and Im Kyuhyun will play the role of Light Yagami. The musical 'Death Note', adapted from the same-named Japanese manga, depicts the intense battle of wits between genius high school student Light Yagami and the famous detective L in a thrilling manner. Sunggyu returns to the musical stage as an actor after about 11 months since the musical 'Kinky Boots' ended in Korea last November. As he has always been expected to have a high synchronization rate with the role of L, fans have shown a passionate reaction to the news of his casting. Sandeul, the main vocalist of B1A4, is expected to express L's inner struggles and complex emotions with intense energy and delicate emotional expression, proving his worth through this work. Tang Junsang has proven his wide acting range across genres such as stage, drama, and film. He is expected to show further growth as an actor, having confidently captured characters with his outstanding skills. Kim Minseok, who plays Light Yagami, made his musical debut last year in 'Heidi's Town' and received high praise for his beautiful singing voice and stable acting skills, winning the Male Rookie Award at the 9th Korean Musical Awards. Attention is focused on what charm he will showcase this time. Cho Hyungkyun, who has made a strong presence in musicals like 'Hedwig', 'Heidi's Town', and 'Cyrano', is set to delicately portray the inner turmoil of a character walking the fine line between good and evil, enhancing the immersion of the work. Im Kyuhyun showcased a powerful singing voice and lively expressiveness in his first lead role in the musical 'Dear Evan Hansen' last year, and fans are curious about what new side he will reveal this time. The musical 'Death Note' will be performed at the Seoul DCUBE Link Art Center from the preview performance on October 14 until May 10, 2026, with ticket reservations and details to be announced later.
