Singer and actor Kim Joon-soo revealed a new point of challenge through the musical "Beatlejuice."

On the 23rd, I met actor Kim Jun-soo of the musical "Beetlejuice" at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and talked about various things.

"Beetlejuice," a musical based on Tim Burton's film of the same name (1988), tells the extraordinary story of a newly ghosted couple holding hands with "Beetlejuice," who is trapped between the world and the underworld to evict a strange family member who has moved into their home.

Kim Jun-su said about challenging "Beatlejuice," "Actually, the audience's laughter was so good while doing "Aladdin." I felt refreshed as an actor. At that time, I remembered "Beetlejuice," a work I had rejected even at the premiere, and I wanted to try it, he said. "I've never done a full-fledged comic play, but I'm proud that I have a single opinion of making someone laugh." I can't be funny here, but I'm a comedian among my younger brothers," he said with a big smile.

However, there was also a difficulty in the first point of challenge. He said, "At first, I was worried, 'Is this going to be okay?' It may be natural, but it is the first time to make a dirty joke or swear word in public. I was worried about whether the audience or fans could accept this expression, he said. "But after seeing the first performance, I was relieved to see that they liked it. I'm trying to express it bolder and funnier now," he said.

"Since I have a lot of dialogue, I may get lost if I fall into 3,000 points," he said. "But after repeated performances, I reacted to the audience's reaction." I had enough room to change my lines little by little. So I think there is synergy with other actors. All actors accept each other better as they have details or relaxation. "There are times when a scene is made just for that episode by quoting the opponent's ad-lib as it is," he said.

Kim Joon-soo, who was a little hesitant, said, "Actually, I'm not a person who can't swear or hasn't done it before. I'm embarrassed and stabbed when fans sometimes say, "How much did you prepare to swear naturally?"

In addition, he said about the merits of "Beetlejuice," "It is a work where not only the main character but also other characters live together. Actually, do I need this character?' There is also a work I want to do, but the charm of "Beatlejuice" is that it does not have such a character, he said. "The balance between Act 1 and Act 2 is also good. I didn't know it was this well-made work," he said.

"I hope you come to see it to laugh and feel the family's strong love, and the work deals paradoxically with death, but in the end, it contains a message to cherish life more when you are alive. I think it's very good because it contains multiple messages," he added.
