VERIVERY’s Yeonho Cast in Musical “Girlfriend” as Will

VERIVERY member Yeonho is set to make his debut on the Korean stage as Will in the Korean premiere of the Broadway musical “Girlfriend.” The production is scheduled to run from March 31 until June 7 at the Baekam Art Hall.

“Girlfriend” is a musical based on the album of the same name by Matthew Sweet, a prominent American singer-songwriter known for his influence on youth culture in the 1990s. The musical has received acclaim for its fusion of rock music’s dynamic energy with a poignant narrative about youth.

The storyline of “Girlfriend” revolves around the blossoming relationship between two young individuals nearing the end of their high school journey in the 1990s. It skillfully captures the essence of youth by exploring the feelings of excitement and uncertainty that come with transitioning into adulthood. Through the use of rock-inspired songs, the characters’ emotions are vividly portrayed, creating a stage that balances intensity and nostalgia.

Yeonho’s character, Will, is portrayed as a reserved and solitary recent high school graduate whose inner turmoil regarding his emotions and self-identity propels the narrative forward. With his unique musical style and powerful vocal abilities, Yeonho is expected to infuse his performance with the raw emotions and thrill of youth, breathing authenticity into the role.

Having previously showcased his talent as a musical actor in the rock genre-based production of “We Will Rock You,” Yeonho’s participation in “Girlfriend” marks a new chapter in his artistic growth. It is anticipated that he will deliver a performance enriched with deeper emotional depth and enhanced stage presence, further solidifying his position as a versatile performer.

The upcoming run of “Girlfriend,” featuring Yeonho in the lead role, is slated to take place at the Baekam Art Hall from March 31 to June 7. Tickets for the show will be available for purchase starting at 2 p.m. on February 27 through NOL and Yes 24, offering audiences a chance to witness Yeonho’s transformative portrayal of Will on stage.
