I HAVE DISCOVERED HONG KWANG-HO

I don’t think I’ve ever been this instantly obsessed with a singer before.

The above song is quite serendipitous- it was originally written in English as part of an adaptation of the Japanese “Death Note” series (about a young man who discovers a Death God’s magical notebook and decides to use it to create a utopia free of criminals, appointing himself executioner and God of the new world). It’s since been performed in Japan and Korea but, frankly the Japanese singers are comparatively unimpressive, not quite having the Broadway kind of voice this was written for. The English version is stronger, but the lyrics don’t quite fit the character in question.

This, seems sure to send chills up the spine even if you’ve never encountered Death Note before. Hong’s voice is soaring, beautiful and powerful, capturing the moment the idealistic boy commits to skydiving off the moral slippery slope with just the hint of a sadistic growl.

(I’ve probably listened to it well over 20 times just since this afternoon).

Hong himself has an impressive track record, playing both the Phantom and Raoul in Phantom, Thuy in Miss Saigon(on West End), Quasimodo in Notre-Dame De Paris, Jekyll in Jekyll and Hyde, and Tobias in Sweeney Todd, among others.

His English is practically flawless as well, as demonstrated by this fantastic rendition of “Bring Him Home” from Les Miserables.

More? This is the Moment (Jekyll and Hyde, Korean) Come What May (Moulin Rouge, English) The Phantom of the Opera (Phantom, Korean) The Music of the Night (Phantom, English)

TL;DR this guy is absolutely a world class vocalist and anyone into musical theater would do well to give him a listen.

I just read that Kwang-Ho is back in his home country and performing in the musical Death Note. The Korean audience is saying he’s just fantastic! But honestly, I really hope he would go to Broadway to play Thuy. He would be one of the few Korean actors on Broadway, and I’m very certain he would blow the audience away with his amazing talent :)
