Tim: What would Jesus do?
by javabeans
Tim, the man with the smooth velvety singing voice, is taking to the stage — as an actor. Perhaps in keeping with his well-known strong Christian faith, his role is in the musical Jesus Jesus (which, as far as I know, is not the same as Jesus Christ Superstar), and he takes on the titular role as — you guessed it! — Jesus Christ.
In case you couldn’t recognize Tim above, here’s a refresher to your right. Prior to his debut as a pop/ballad singer, he’d participated in small-scale plays and musicals, but this is his first time onstage in a large-scale musical.
In the seventeen years since Jesus Jesus made its debut in 1991, it’s been performed all around the world, and Tim’s role was previously filled by actors Cha In Pyo and Kim Jang Seob.
He’ll give performances in a rather short run — June 18 through 20 — in Seoul.

ML is so right.. . . I was so scared I almost fell off my chair.
This is the first asian Jesus I have ever seen. I don't think this has ever happened in the western world. It's just a bit weird and takes some getting used to, not that I have anything against Jesus.

OH. MY. GOD. (haha get it?)
Bae Yong Jun would make a pretty hot Jesus and I would totally start going to church again. But this just screams creepy!

Hey daydreamer, I beg to disagree. Asian men look so hot with a beard and
mustache . . . when done right that is.
I watch a lot of historical dramas and actually prefer a lot of the current actors with facial hair than without.

I am not a believer of god, but this is pretty interesting, I've got a lot of questions in my head just because of this picture.
