Uhm Ki Joon, FTISLAND's Lee Hong Ki, SF9's Insong, Astro's MJ, and more to star in the musical "Jack The Ripper"

The musical "Jack the Ripper," which will return in December after a two-year hiatus, has announced its cast.

Premiering in 2009, 'Jack The Ripper' tells the story of a detective trying to solve a serial murder case targeting only prostitutes, a rare murderer, a surgeon involved in the murder, and a newspaper reporter on the hunt for news.

Although the original is a licensed musical based in the Czech Republic, the plot, song, and scene have been recreated to fit more than 90% of Korean emotions and received positive reviews for "perfection that surpasses the original." The musical will be directed by Shin Sung Woo, who started directing during its 10th-anniversary performance in 2019.

Uhm Ki Joon, FTISLAND's Lee Hong Ki, ASTRO's MJ, and SF9's Inseong will play the role of surgeon 'Daniel,' who has a strong personality but makes a dangerous deal with murderer Jack for the woman he loves.

Following Shin Sung Woo and Kim Pub Rae, Kang Tae Eul and Kim Paul, a member of the second team of 'Phantom Singer 3', Lavidence, will play the role of 'Jack,' a ruthless killer who fills London with fear. Lee Gun Myung will play the role of 'Anderson,' a homicide detective on the hunt for an unidentified killer.

Seo Beom Seok and Jang Dae Woong play the role of 'Monroe,' a special reporter who, along with Anderson, finds out the identity of the killer. Lindsay (Lim Min Ji), Kim Soo, and Jung Su Ji play the role of Gloria, a confident woman who meets and falls in love with Daniel.

The musical "Jack the Ripper" will be staged at KEPCO Art Center between December 3, 2021, and February 6, 2022.
