The musical 'Dracula' (producer Shin Chun-soo, produced by Odi Company Ltd.) is set to open on July 10 and has just revealed its long-awaited casting lineup, once again signaling another blood-red syndrome.

Based on Bram Stoker's novel, 'Dracula' is a work that poignantly portrays Count Dracula's love for a single woman over more than 400 years. The tension and contrast created by the intricate relationships among characters such as 'Van Helsing', 'Jonathan', and 'Lucy', centered around 'Dracula' and 'Mina', serve as the core driving force of the production.

Among these, on the 6th, a highly sensory mood poster that fully reflects the work's emotional tone was unveiled. Producer Shin Chun-soo stated, "This season brings together veteran actors who have solidified the identity of 'Dracula' and new cast members injecting fresh energy, achieving an overwhelming synergy unlike any other season." He added, "This will once again prove the reputation of 'Dracula', where the elegance of classicism coexists with modern sensibility, and will deliver the most perfect and fatal blood-red romance to audiences."

First, the role of 'Dracula', who has loved only one woman for over 400 years, transcending death, is played by Shin Sung-rok, Kim Jun-soo, Jeon Dong-seok, and new cast member Ko Eun-seong, promising a more intense and overwhelming stage than any previous season. As the production enters its third season, Shin Sung-rok, who has achieved perfect unity with the character in every season, once again signals his "Rock-ula" obsession. Returning as the perfect "blood-red romanticist," he will portray Dracula's tragic narrative of sacrificing everything for love with even greater elegance and intensity, through commanding presence emanating from his overwhelming physicality and delicate, captivating emotional acting. Kim Jun-soo, who established the work's identity from its premiere and has delivered irreplaceable charisma, will present a powerful thrill with a new visual and unique performance, replacing his trademark "red hair." By adding absolute immersion that pierces the essence of the character, he will fatally portray the count's loneliness and madness, imprinting his irreplaceable presence.

Following him, Jeon Dong-seok, who overwhelms the stage with his deep and rich bass voice, fantastic visuals, and explosive vocal power, will complete a flawless masterpiece that captures the soul by most dramatically unfolding the tragedy of fated love. Especially fitting the praise that "his gaze alone makes the entire narrative of Dracula believable," he is expected to fully captivate audiences with his unique aura, 'Dong-ula', which oscillates between pure love and chilling charisma in this season. Additionally, Ko Eun-seong, equipped with boundless spectrum and solid skills, will join as the "New Dracula" to write a new legend. Expected to inject explosive impact into the work by boldly displaying his accumulated expertise, he will offer his own sensory interpretation and powerful, mesmerizing performance.

The role of 'Mina', who falls into an irresistible fated love with Dracula, is cast with Jung Eun-jeong, Park Ji-yeon, and Kim Hwan-hee, each presenting a melodramatic narrative with distinct charm. Jung Eun-jeong, who has received praise as "Mina herself" for her deep character interpretation and unique singing power in every season, will once again move audiences' hearts by meticulously building the inner world of a woman placed before an irresistible fate through deeper sensibility and restrained sorrow. Park Ji-yeon, who captivated the stage with delicate emotional expression and appealing vocal tone, is expected to more persuatively unfold Mina's complex narrative of anguish with even more mature sensibility, maximizing the lyrical quality of the work with dense acting while leaving a deep aftertaste. Additionally, Kim Hwan-hee, equipped with excellent singing ability and a bold, progressive charm, has been selected as the "New Mina" to inject new vitality. She is expected to boldly unfold a fated romance where one falls into irresistible charm by building her own unique Mina that is both pure and dignified.

The supporting cast lineup, which adds weight to the leads and elevates the play's completion to the highest level, is also dazzling. The role of 'Van Helsing', the obsessive hunter who has sharpened his blade of revenge against Dracula and dedicated his entire life, will be played by two actors with different charms, Kang Tae-eul and Im Jeong-mo, heightening the play's tension.

The role of 'Jonathan', Mina's fiancé who offers unwavering love, has been cast with Jin Tae-hwa and Im Hyun-jun, while the role of 'Lucy', Mina's friend who turns into a vampire due to Dracula and heads toward destruction, will be played by Lee Ye-eun and Lee Ah-reum-sol, raising the dramatic tension to the peak and emitting a powerful presence.

Meanwhile, 'Dracula' will be performed from July 10 to October 18 at LG Arts Center Seoul, LG SIGNATURE Hall.
