Luna to star in 'KPOP' Broadway musical this fall
On March 30, 2022, the producers of KPOP confirmed that Luna would be making her first-ever Broadway debut on the show, which will be released later this year. The KPOP musical received immense success off-Broadway in 2017 and will now officially play on Broadway in Fall 2022. The announcement has created anticipation among fans and Broadway enthusiasts to see how the cast performs.
During the official in-person announcement of the KPOP musical at New York’s Korean Cultural Center, the K-pop singer opened up about how lucky and honored she feels to be able to perform on Broadway. She said:
