The stars of the show, including f(x)’s Luna, Gavy NJ’s Jang Hee Young, December, Park Jun Gyu, Yoo Ha, and Kim Soo Yong, performed several highlight scenes from the musical.
On this day, Luna shared her thoughts on taking the stage, saying, “This is my second work. I didn’t know anything when I was doing my first musical and had many hardships, but this time it’s different. Since the content of ‘Coyote Ugly’ is completely different from my first musical, I gain confidence.”
With regards to her character’s stage fright, Luna said, ”I used to have stage fright as well. After being with f(x) for so long, a lot of my fears have subsided.“ She continued, ”Though I can’t say that I am the same as the character in the show, I have members that I complete activities with and I have many good seniors around me. I think the character in the musical is similar to me in these ways.”
The ‘Coyote Ugly’ musical tells the story about a singer-songwriter named April and her journey as she fulfills her dream through fantastic music and strong dances.
This is the first musical adaptation of the popular film of the same name, “Coyote Ugly”. Unlike the movie, the musical shows the image of the Coyote Bar 10 years later.
“Coyote Ugly” will be playing at the KECPO Art Center from July 8th to August 15th.

‘Coyote Ugly’ has received much love as a film across the world for its comedy and sappy love story since it was first released back in 2000. Fast forward 11 years to today, the story still proves to capture interest as it’s being made into a musical for the first time in Korea.
This musical is set to open on July 8th and will last through the 15th.
In addition, audiences will be treated to the OST (soundtrack) from the original movie, including ‘Can’t Fight The Moonlight‘ and ‘I Will Survive.’
However, the attention grabber in this news is the casting of the three talented women. Luna, Jang Hee Young and Yoo Ha Na have been triple cast for the protagonist(s), Violet Sanford–originally played byPiper Perabo. In addition, actor Park Jun Gyu has been cast as Violet’s father.
Who do you think best fits the role of Violet Sanford? Luna, Jang Hee Young or Yoo Ha Na?
