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.

Wooooahhh….
I don’t even know what to say…. :/
i wasnt even able to recongnise him for a moment and i started to second guess my self if it was even him ! well i hope he aces the play i love his ballads
LOL…
love the tile to this post ^___^
Uh…wow.
thats funny- theres a korean (musical) show called Maria Maria- its about Mary Magdalene (who was close with Jesus)
btw im not cee im haj-i dont kno why that came up
Don’t you think that at the first glance, he looks like Bae Yong Jun? Scary…
i totally agree.. he looks like Bae!
that is a pretty short run. maybe it’s for the better. that look simply will not do.
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.
@ML. That’s what I thought too! At first glance, Tim is a dead ringer for Bae Yong Jun, LOL
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!
wait the Jesus picture is fake right? computer generated? lol
I thought he was a wax statue. LOL LOL!
that first picture totally looks cg! haha…no wonder asians weren’t the chosen people, we just don’t know how to rock a beard and a mustache
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.
I agree, at first glance I thought he was Bae Yong Jun!
He looks really plastic in that picture.
love tim!
gotta admit. the first pic.. he looks like a wax statue!
look on the bright side,
cough
he looks unrecognizable. ^^
