Yoon Do-hyun of
YB is playing Hedwig in the musical,
Hedwig And The Angry Inch.
This can be seen in the musical from November 14th to February 28th, 2010. He is one of the six actors for the 5th season. In previous seasons famous actors such as
Cho Seung-woo helped make this a hit in Korea. Performances will be every Friday night at 9:30pm, and a wild late night stage is to be expected. On top of this, on every Saturday there will be three performances, at 3pm, 6pm and 9pm.
The producer,
Lee Gina, has expressed her hopes for the star, saying, "I believe
Yoon Do-hyun is going to be by far the most comical version compared to other Hedwigs." Furthermore, the singer "learned how horrifying a prejudice can be and looked back" and has become more open minded. He also wanted to give courage to those similar to Hedwig.
He showed his commitment to the show as on the 14th performance, despite sustaining a shoulder injury, he stayed to finish the show, though he went into emergencies before the encore. Because of this, he is managing pain with treatments. He sincerely apologised to the fans for having to cancel the 16th afternoon show.
Behind the scene pictures can be seen on his
