It appears the criticism is not over yet for 2AM's Jo Kwon, who has challenged himself of late by taking on a gay drag queen role for musical, 'Priscilla.' �Already, he addressed criticism with the release of the promo images. �Once again, he left a very long message on his social media on July 8 after the press call for the musical. �
He wrote:
"I know that there are a lot of misunderstandings and malicious comments toward the many pictures taken by the press. �I am writing this to help people understand... �You could think that it is just a gay show from the poster or pictures. However, our musical 'Priscilla' is not just a musical that portrays the homosexual and transgenders' views, but also a sincere musical that portrays family, friendship, love, paternal love, and emotions...
I just want to show my abilities and talents, that I can work hard and well... It could still be seen with a negative view out of repulsion. �That's why I want to leap over my limits and wall more coolly and diligently...
It is a bit hard because people only react to my job based on what they see, but I chose this road, so I am working hard to take responsibility by overcoming this. However, when I hear malicious comments or other bad things unintentionally, it does not work for me well on a mental level no matter how much I try...�
Come to see the performance personally. �Do not think of anything at all, come to the venue with an easy heart, and I would like for us to appreciate what kind of production 'Priscilla' is together. �This summer, I will take responsibility for 'Priscilla..."
He also wrote, "When it does not go the way I want, it is so hard. �Just come watch. Stop criticizing."
The musical started on July 8 at the LG Art Center.
