Get the fat suit ready for Bada
While news is quiet of the 200 Pound Beauty sequel, plans are under way for a musical version, starring SES lead singer Bada. (The film sequel will be losing the sleeper hit’s original plastic-beauty Hana, star Kim Ah-joong, who opted not to return to the franchise in favor of other projects now that she’s catapulted to stardom.)
This musical version will be the follow-up stage role to Bada’s previous theatrical turn as Esmerelda in Notre Dame de Paris, for which she received favorable reviews. She’ll share the double-cast role of Hana with musical actress Yoon Gong-joo (really, Yoon parents? You named your kid “Princess”?). The male lead role, originated by Joo Jin-mo in the movie, is yet to be cast.
The musical version of 200 Pound Beauty will begin its theatrical run on November 27.

Sorry, just confused about one bit. Two actresses will be playing Hana in the musical? Are the actresses different before and after the plastic surgery in the musical? Maybe I’m just confused because in the movie I assumed that it was Kim Ah-Joong in both roles..it was, wasn’t it?
LOL, so many questions!

Thank You. Interesting.
LOL, Thanks for answering! :]]
LOL i’m not surprised there’s a gong-joo haha.
My schoolmate’s called Princess. Yes, that’s her first name!
I’m with royalty all this while. *sticks nose in the air*
Was it really necessary to make this into a musical? I don’t think I could sit through it.
Are even the Koreans running out of new material for original scripts? *disappointed* o.o;
I’d love to see Ock Ju Hyun in that role too! She’s such an amazing singer and musical actress!
For some reason, I don’t think she’ll do the character justice…
Nor do I think that they should make a sequel for 200 Pounds of beauty, she could ruin it…
