Park Gyuri's '200 Pounds Beauty' musical will go on despite legal issues

Posted by serendipity47 pts Monday, September 19, 2011

It was reported earlier that the musical starring KARA's Park Gyuri, '200 Pounds Beauty', was facing legal issues with regards to copyright infringement. However, despite the lawsuit, the production staff has revealed that the "musical will go on as planned". According to a Japanese media source, the Japanese production company, Shochiku, "will have the performance go on as planned for all the fans who've been anticipating the sale of the tickets." KARA's company, DSP Entertainment, stated, "We've heard that despite the lawsuit, the show will go on without problems." They continued, "We haven't received any specific details... the Japanese production company will handle everything". The ticket sales are estimated to draw in more than $5 million USD for this large-scale production, especially since the lead role will be played by Gyuri (who enjoys a strong popularity in Japan thanks to her KARA activities). The musical will run from October 8th to November 16th in Japan's Osaka Shochiku Theater. The show will then hit the road in December, going on tour around other Asian countries, such as Korea, China, and Singapore. Source + Photo: Star News
