The cast of the musical “The Beauty” perform the main scenes for local press on Thursday at the Yes24 Stage in central Seoul. The narrative of the jukebox-style musical is portrayed through numerous hit songs by singer-songwriter Shin Joong-hyun who is dubbed “the godfather of Korean rock.” The musical tells the story of young people in the 1930s during the period of Japan's colonization (1910-45).
