Film and musical actor Jo Seung-woo (Tazza) is currently serving in the military, but with his discharge fast approaching (October), interest is heating up about his next career move. There are reports that he will return in the musical Jekyll and Hyde, which he has acted in before. (Watch clip below.) His management gave a more cautious answer but confirmed that Jo is “considering it seriously.”
Jekyll and Hyde is scheduled to raise its curtain on November 28 in Seoul and will run for five months. Jo will be released from military service at the end of October, so he’ll have to jump right into rehearsals.
This musical is the one that solidified 30-year-old Jo’s status as a bona fide musical star. He debuted in 1999 in the film Chunhyang, then went on to act in The Classic, Love Phobia, Tazza, and Go Go 70′s. His most recent project before serving army duty was The Sword With No Name, a historical romance-melodrama with Su Ae.
Here Jo Seung-wo performs the famous solo from Jekyll and Hyde, “This Is the Moment”:

he comes the second after Jung-woo Ha in my real actors list that I feel joy and excitement while watching his performance…
I really really really like him. In ‘Who R U’ movie, I cried when he sang the song to Lee Na Young through the internet chat. it was so sweet and sad at the same time. he’s trully a versatile actor. hope he’ll make a drama so that we can watch him longer on screen.
Wow…he’s got a beautiful voice and what charisma!
Best of everything to this talented young man!
Thanks JB. What a voice! What a treat!
Wow. His eyes just had me stop by and read your article, JB.
wowww. he’s being released from the military already? not that im complaining but for some reason, i thought he had just started his military service not too long ago…time really flies
i agree w/you, i think it’s just what last yr that he left for the milit & i can’t believe he’s coming back & yes not that i’m hvng probs with that but it’s mind boggling. This also reminds me of two of my fave K actors who returned recently & i thot it can’t be 2 yrs already…these are Jo hyun jae & Jae hee! can JB pls refresh our memories as to when these guys left? it definitely hasn’t been 2 yrs yet unless my math is really going down the drain!

Indeed it’s been 2 years, though it doesn’t feel like it!

Oh wow. He’s no David Hasselhoff
but I’m totally impressed!
I’ve been wondering where has he been….. Just re-watched The Classic a few days ago. What a talented actor and his singing!!
wow i didn’t realize he can sing & so well i must say wow so talented these K actors, very seldom you’ll find a K actor who’s not singing, ummhhh i dunno Bae yong joon perhaps i don’t know i’ve nvr heard him sing.
“Whoa-ho-ho-ho!”
I was that impressed. Dude, that was awesome! I hope he hits us with his best shot when he gets back!
He is one of my favourite Korean actor and with great voice, but why he is not as popular as others such as Hyun Bin or even Bae Yoon Jun?
Dramabeans: Wonder this Yoo Ji-tae and Bae Yoon Jun had even served in the military? If not, what were the reasons that they had got an exemption? Thanks.
