Summary
A concert-style sequel musical built around the songs of the late composer Lee Young-hoon, premiered in Seoul in 2013.
Origin & Development
Premiered in 2013 at Sookmyung Art Center Theater S, produced by Musical Service. Conceived as a spin-off of the 2011 musical but rewritten in a new format, the show adapts Lee Young-hoon’s songs into a meta-narrative about idol culture, fandom, and the economics of the music industry. It was promoted as a “K-concert musical,” foregrounding a live 8-piece band onstage rather than a traditional book-musical staging. (Not to be confused with CJ ENM’s unrelated 2017 musical of the same title.) 2013 – Seoul Premiere. 2013.05.17 – 07.07, Sookmyung Art Center Theater S. Directed by Kim Kyu-jong, music arranged by Oh Sang-jun, featuring an onstage 8-member band.
Marketed as a “concert musical” rather than a narrative continuation of the 2011 production. (No additional Korean remounts recorded; the title does not return after its China tour.).
Partial Synopsis
Adam, a reigning idol, Sanha, a faded former star, and Gaeul, a singer turned girl-group member, are unexpectedly booked for the same concert. Rehearsals revive rivalry, nostalgia, and unresolved relationships among them.

Presented by Musical Service with local Chinese presenters, the tour gave ten performances in four cities: Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanchang, and Fuzhou. It was invited as the opening production of China's first International Musical Festival in Hangzhou, and Chinese press emphasized its open band set, LED-driven visuals, and pop-concert pacing in contrast to traditional operatic musical formats. The production later expanded into a long-run multi-city contract and was cited in Korean media as an early commercial success for Korean jukebox musicals in mainland China.
