B2ST‘s Hyunseung has shown off his transformation as ‘JS‘ through his newest solo pictorial for ‘ELLE Girl‘ magazine!

Now that he’ll be embarking on his first musical adventure with ‘Mozart!‘, the interview gives a backstage glimpse into what goes on behind closed curtains as he prepares for his musical debut.

When asked how he felt about making his debut as a musical star, he revealed that he is both grateful and pressured to receive a leading role so early in his career, but that he is preparing thoroughly to do his best.

Hyunseung also revealed that he felt a connection to his character in that both had a rebellious streak and are a bit stubborn with their ways. His ultimate goal is to “be remembered as a really talented singer.”

B2ST’s Hyunseung to make his acting debut in ‘Mozart!’ musical

It has come to light that B2ST‘s Hyunseung will be making his acting debut in an upcoming musical this summer!

Cube Entertainment confirmed earlier today that B2ST’s lead vocalist has been finalized for the role of Mozart in the upcoming musical of the same title, ‘Mozart!‘

While already having earned numerous music awards with B2ST, and gaining much attention with Trouble Maker, Hyunseung still had expressed his hopes to try his hand at acting. Through ‘Mozart!’, it seems his wish will be fulfilled.

“I’m very happy that my first musical debut will be through the best project. To convey the role of ‘Mozart’ well, I’m currently working hard to get into character,” Hyunseung stated. “[JYJ's] Junsu hyung already showed such a perfect performance, and Eun Tae hyung, whom I’ll be working with, is so talented, that I’m a bit burdened by my first musical challenge. However, as this is an acting opportunity, which I have been yearning for, I will do by best. Please keep an eye on me, and cheer me on.”

‘Mozart!’ is a musical that has gained earned fame globally as well as domestically. It was first opened in Korea in 2010 (starring JYJ’s Junsu), and achieved a good amount of success. ‘Mozard!’ will continue in 2012 starting from July 10th through the 28th.
