[The Fact｜Reporter Park Ji-yoon] Lee Hong-ki, a member of FT Island, meets the audience with the musical ‘Your Lie in April’.

On the 7th, his agency FNC Entertainment announced, “Lee Hongki has been cast in the musical ‘Your Lie in April.’” He was listed in the role of Kousei Arima along with musical actor Yoon So-ho and singer Kim Hee-jae.

The work is a youth drama in which promising music artists blossom through their talents while experiencing encounters and separations from loved ones. It depicts the story of a boy who is an unlucky prodigy pianist and a girl who is a genius violinist who meet and change through music. It is the first performance in Korea and the world's first licensed performance, raising expectations.

Kousei Arima, played by Lee Hong-gi, was a piano prodigy, but after his mother's death, he was unable to play the piano due to trauma, and fell into the world of music again after meeting Kaoi Miyanojo.

Meanwhile, as a member of FT Island, Lee Hongki received a lot of love by releasing numerous hit songs such as 'Love Love Love', 'I hope', 'Love Sick', and 'Severely'. In addition, he appeared in several musicals such as 'These Days', 'I Loved You', 'Return', 'Jack the Ripper', and 'Mata Hari', showing stable acting skills along with powerful singing ability.

Therefore, attention is being paid to what kind of youth Lee Hong-ki, who returns to the musical stage a year after last year's 'Harlan County', will capture the audience's attention by portraying in this work.

‘Your Lie in April’ will be performed at the CJ Towol Theater at Seoul Arts Center from June 27 to August 25.
