[NEWS] 161117 Jinwoo casted for the contemporary dance piece ‘The Little Prince’
Kim Jinwoo, a member of WINNER under YG Entertainment, has been cast as the little prince in the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company production of “The Little Prince”. This is the first time an idol will stand on the stage of a national arts foundation.
According to an informant on the 17th, Kim Jinwoo has been confirmed to appear in “The Little Prince” and is practicing with the dancers/cast members. The production will take place next month from the 9th through the 11th (December 9th, 10th, 11th) at Seoul Seocho-dong Seoul Arts Center CJ Towol Theater. Kim Jinwoo was casted because of his image that suited the little prince and because his passion for dancing was recognised.
Group WINNER debuted in 2014 and Kim Jinwoo started his acting career with the Korean-Chinese collaboration drama, “Magic Cellphone”. Recently, WINNER’s group activities are on indefinite hiatus due to member Nam Taehyun’s health. It has been revealed that the members are focusing on individual activities and music production. Kang Seungyoon will join the regular cast of SBS variety show “Flower Crew” and Song Mino released his solo single in September.
“The Little Prince” by the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company was first premiered last year towards the end of the year. They adapted the novella by the same name by Antoine de Saint-Exupery into a contemporary dance production. It is a production suited for families as they smoothly deliver the story by including digital video effects, emotional music, and unique props.
Tickets for the production are available on the Seoul Arts Center website (sacticket.co.kr), Interpark, and Auction Tickets. Pre-sales will take place on the 17th at 4PM for members of the Seoul Arts Center on their website. General sales will take place on the 18th at 2PM.
