American Composer Frank Wildhorn Has A BTS Member In Mind For His Mega-Hit Musical “Jekyll & Hyde”

In an interview with the Korean press xportsnews, American composer Frank Wildhorn—the genius behind some of Korea’s most beloved musicals like Jekyll & Hyde and Death Note: The Musical—made a proposal to BTS‘s V that musical-goer ARMYs would love to see happen!

Pointing out how BTS members have announced the pursuit of solo activities, the musical composer suggested member V consider debuting in the musical theater world with his mega-hit Jekyll & Hyde.

Korean content is doing well in New York and across the United States. And I would like to propose something. BTS is loved in America and all over the world. And I hear the members are taking an off-season and, from what I know, they are taking time to pursue solo activities.

Frank Wildhorn commented he had seen V singing the dramatic “This Is The Moment” from the said musical “on Instagram somewhere some months ago,” likely referring to a snippet from an episode of BTS BOMB that highlighted the behind-the-scenes of BTS’s “Black Swan” music video shoot at the Los Angeles Theater.

The composer then asked the Korean reporters to relay his hopeful message to the BTS member.

I saw a clip on Instagram somewhere some months ago. [BTS members] were rehearsing for a concert or something. I think they were checking the sound system before the show. When it became V’s turn, he sang ‘This Is The Moment.’

When you run into him, I would appreciate it if you let him know that Frank Wildhorn wants him to play the role of Jekyll. I got a lot of messages from my friends telling me to check Instagram, like ‘V is singing “This Is The Moment” right now!’ Since I don’t have any means to communicate with him directly, I hope the reporters will let him know.
