Singer-turned-musical star Junsu Kim is making a sensational comeback as the fated lead of a "blood-red" romance.
On the 6th, producer OD Company officially unveiled the highly anticipated casting lineup for this season of the musical Dracula.
Headlining as Dracula are the unrivaled Junsu Kim, whose presence has defined the show since its premiere; Sung-rok Shin, returning for his third season and sharpening the character even further; and Dong-seok Jeon, whose deep, resonant bass dominates the stage. Powerhouse actor Eun-sung Go is also joining as a bold new Dracula, injecting fresh energy into the production.
Cast as Mina, who falls into an irresistible, fated love with Dracula, are Jung-eun Jo, Ji-yeon Park, and Hwan-hee Kim. Jo, long praised as the very embodiment of Mina, and Park, known for her delicate emotional range, return to the role, while Kim joins as the "new Mina," promising exciting synergy.
Fanning the flames of vengeance against Dracula, the role of Van Helsing will be portrayed by Tae-eul Kang and Jung-mo Lim, heightening the show’s tension. As Mina’s fiancé Jonathan, Tae-hwa Jin and rising talent Hyun-jun Lim have been cast, while Ye-eun Lee and Areum-sol Lee will play Mina’s friend, Lucy—rounding out a rock-solid supporting lineup.
Based on Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula tells the story of a count who has loved only one woman for more than 400 years. The production is renowned for its high-stakes clashes, heart-wrenching romance, and grand-scale staging.
Producer Shin Chun-soo of OD Company declared, "We will once again prove the prestige of Dracula, where classical elegance meets modern flair," adding, "We’re ready to deliver the most flawless, devastatingly romantic experience to audiences."
Following the star-studded announcement, fans reacted with heated excitement: "I can’t believe Go Eun-sung is Dracula," and "My Dracula is finally back!"
Since its 2014 premiere, the musical Dracula has enjoyed unwavering love and now enters its seventh season, set to run from July 10 to October 18.
