Singer Seven even acted in Japanese and finished the show musical Again 'Dream High' perfectly.

Show Musical 'Dream High' is a story about the main characters who dreamed of becoming K-pop stars in Kirin Art High School returning to Kirin Art School after graduating from high school. Korean performances began at Woori Financial Art Hall in Olympic Park on April 5, followed by Japanese performances at Tokyo Theater H on April 11.

In the Japanese performance, Seven, who played the role of the Korean performance 'Samdong', Jinjin, and Jang Dong-woo, who played 'Jinguk', took the stage with Japanese acting, drawing more attention. Various Korean musicals such as musicals 'Bethoven', 'Marie Curie', 'Rengbo', and 'Laundry' are being exported abroad, such as China and Japan, as well as Broadway and the West End, which are called musical home. Usually, actors from the country are on the stage by signing license contracts, but in the case of the show musical Again 'Dream High', actors who are also on the Korean stage in Japanese have opened up new possibilities for K-musical in a joint planning format. In particular, the first performance was sold out, and a number of episodes were sold out, and the last performance on the 27th proved the work's hot global popularity to the extent that audiences seeking tickets formed a long line, giving a glimpse of the possibility of exporting musical content.

Seven, who rose to the stage in both Korea and Japan while speaking two languages, said "It was a great challenge for me physically and mentally to prepare works in two languages. Thanks to the consideration and help of the staff of both countries, it was posted safely. It was a piece that achieved great experience and growth", he expressed his feelings.
