El 29 de julio, 2 am's Vivir Se sentó para una entrevista para hablar sobre el musical Jamie.
Vivir said, ‘Genderless’ has become my weapon. In the past, I was afraid of a neutral-gender image. If people said I looked like a woman, I would deny it. Now I don’t do that. If people say that I look like Choi ji woo o la generación de chicas Taeyeon , entonces eso está bien. Puedo aceptarme como soy. Esta es mi arma duradera en la futura edad sin género.
En el musical Jamie, Jo Kwon interpreta a Jamie, un adolescente que supera los prejuicios en su sueño de convertirse en una drag queen. Jo Kwon dijo que hay drag queens y hay drag reyes. Hay hombres femeninos y hay mujeres juveniles. Los hombres pueden tener mucho interés en los productos de belleza. A medida que cambian los tiempos, creo que más personas abrirán sus mentes a personas como Jamie.
Vivir also talked about Bang Si Hyuk’s words of encouragement in choosing an artistic path. Recently, Vivir’s 2012 song Animal featuring BTS’s J-Hope has garnered new attention . Vivir said, Of course, BTS had a big effect on this, but I’m glad that ‘Animal’ has gained more attention. It makes me think that our country has changed its worldview a little bit.
Vivir continued, I think that in our country, we have to keep doing things until people get used to them. Before ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ premiered here, I got a lot of negative comments. But as soon as it premiered, people liked my performance as Herod. I kept doing musicals and now ‘Jamie’ is my eighth project.
En Jamie, la madre de Jamie, Margaret, juega un papel importante. Jo Kwon dijo que mi madre es una partidaria tranquila pero firme. Ella vino a ver mi primera actuación como Jamie y sus ojos se pusieron rojos mientras miraba. La primera escena es triste, y cuando Jamie fue intimidado por sus compañeros de clase después de su transformación en una drag queen, dijo que su corazón dolía mucho. She said that it was like seeing me going into battle. Choi Jung Won, quien interpreta a Margaret en el musical, dijo que mi madre era como la Margaret Corea. Terminé llorando también.
Vivir also talked about the other actors playing Jamie in the musical. I think that Jamie Campbell [the real person whom the musical ‘Jamie’ was based on] is an amazing person. In the musical, Jamie opens by saying, ‘That’s right, I’m gay.’ When I’m wearing heels, I get most nervous when I have to do a high kick. I think that gossip, which is a characteristic of my job, is karma in the end, but I feel a sense of injustice when people pretend that things that didn’t happen are real. Jamie’s confidence and cool attitude is similar to myself. But Jamie is more amazing because he did it all at the age of 17. I talk about this with NU’EST’s Ren and ASTRO’s MJ, who are making their musical debut in ‘Jamie.'
Vivir also shared plans to work on a new solo album inspired by singer-songwriter Troye Sivan, as well as plans for a new album from 2AM next year.
