Den 29. juli, kl Levende Satte sig ned for et interview for at tale om den musikalske Jamie.
Levende said, ‘Genderless’ has become my weapon. In the past, I was afraid of a neutral-gender image. If people said I looked like a woman, I would deny it. Now I don’t do that. If people say that I look like Choi Ji Woo eller pigers generation Taeyeon , så er det fint. Jeg er i stand til at acceptere mig selv som jeg er. Dette er mit langvarige våben i den fremtidige kønsfri alder.
I den musikalske Jamie spiller Jo Kwon Jamie, en teenager, der overvinder fordomme i sin drøm om at blive en dragdronning. Jo Kwon sagde, der er drag -dronninger, og der er dragkonger. Der er pige, og der er drengelige kvinder. Mænd kan have meget interesse for skønhedsprodukter. Efterhånden som tiderne ændrer sig, tror jeg, at flere mennesker vil åbne deres sind for folk som Jamie.
Levende also talked about Bang Si Hyuk’s words of encouragement in choosing an artistic path. Recently, Levende’s 2012 song Animal featuring BTS’s J-Hope has garnered new attention . Levende said, Of course, BTS had a big effect on this, but I’m glad that ‘Animal’ has gained more attention. It makes me think that our country has changed its worldview a little bit.
Levende continued, I think that in our country, we have to keep doing things until people get used to them. Before ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ premiered here, I got a lot of negative comments. But as soon as it premiered, people liked my performance as Herod. I kept doing musicals and now ‘Jamie’ is my eighth project.
I Jamie spiller Jamies mor Margaret en vigtig rolle. Jo Kwon sagde, min mor er en stille, men standhaftig tilhænger. Hun kom for at se min første forestilling som 'Jamie', og hendes øjne blev røde, da hun så på. Den første scene er trist, og da Jamie blev mobbet af sine klassekammerater efter hans omdannelse til en dragdronning, sagde hun, at hendes hjerte gjorde meget ondt. Hun sagde, at det var som at se mig gå i kamp. Choi Jung Won, der spiller Margaret i musicalen, sagde, at min mor var som den koreanske Margaret. Jeg endte også med at rive op.
Levende also talked about the other actors playing Jamie in the musical. I think that Jamie Campbell [the real person whom the musical ‘Jamie’ was based on] is an amazing person. In the musical, Jamie opens by saying, ‘That’s right, I’m gay.’ When I’m wearing heels, I get most nervous when I have to do a high kick. I think that gossip, which is a characteristic of my job, is karma in the end, but I feel a sense of injustice when people pretend that things that didn’t happen are real. Jamie’s confidence and cool attitude is similar to myself. But Jamie is more amazing because he did it all at the age of 17. I talk about this with NU’EST’s Ren and ASTRO’s MJ, who are making their musical debut in ‘Jamie.'
Levende also shared plans to work on a new solo album inspired by singer-songwriter Troye Sivan, as well as plans for a new album from 2AM next year.
