I was about to scroll past this because I'm not usually very interested in musicals, but my eyes caught on the photo. "Wait, that's IKON Jinhwan!" Ha. So okay, maybe now I guess I am interested...



I'm not an IKON stan, but I do like their music, and all the members are clearly talented yet still seem really down to earth. My friend actually uses a picture of Jinhwan as my contact photo in her phone, so maybe I talk about him more than I realize? Lol oops. Anyway, yes, so happy to hear about this opportunity for him!!
