According to the performance industry on the 27th, Seo Kyung-soo recently underwent emergency surgery for a fracture in his leg while practicing 'Kinky Boots'. Currently, he is committed to rest and recovery according to the diagnosis of the medical staff.
Due to Seo Kyung-soo's sudden injury, the musical 'Kingki Boots' urgently adjusted the cast schedule.
Seo Kyung-soo played the main character Lola in the 「Kingki Boots」, which opened at Blue Square Shinhan Card Hall on September 7, but Park Eun-tae and Kang Hong-seok appeared in the performances on the 25th and 27th after the injury.
The production team believes that it will take time for Seo Kyung-soo to recover, and is discussing ways for Park Eun-tae, Kang Hong-seok and Choi Jae-rim to take turns playing the role of Lola before the closing.
At the same time, Seo Kyung-soo was scheduled to appear as the main character Aladdin in 'Aladdin', which will open at the Lotte Theater on November 22. Attention is focusing on whether he will return or not, as he drew attention as he starred with Kim Joon-soo and Park Kang-hyun.
As the performance continues until June next year, the production team also leaves open the possibility that Seo Kyung-soo will join in the middle if the recovery is smooth.
Seo Kyung-soo's agency, Palm Tree Island, said in an official statement that `The surgery following the actor Seo Kyung-soo's ankle fracture has been successfully completed' and `We will decide on the return to the stage according to the recovery situation, considering the artist's health and rapid recovery as the top priority.' It also added that changes to the casting of King's Boots and Aladdin will be informed by each production company later.
Meanwhile, Seo Kyung-soo, who debuted as the musical Jesus Christ Superstar in 2006, has built a reputation by playing leading roles in various works such as Death Note, Something Rotten, Wicked, and Red Book.
