A Gay Girl's Guide to Korean Musicals (with English subtitles!)

People often associate musicals with male gayness (both onstage and off) but there's stuff out there for female-oriented queers too! It's just harder to find, which is why I put this video together despite not knowing Korean.

This list isn't comprehensive and I deliberately chose musicals with either queer female characters or gender-free casting (i.e. female actors playing male roles), except for Bernarda Alba, which is special as it’s by far the largest-scale all-female production with 10 characters. Obviously there are many Korean musicals out there which don't meet these criteria and are still of interest to the queers, but I wanted to highlight these in particular as they are, apart from Rebecca, not as well-known. I highly recommend checking out @koreanmusicals for more information on Korean musicals generally!

Note: Again, I don’t understand Korean and relied heavily on machine translation and the original lyrics for licenced productions, so any errors in the subtitles or explanations are mine. Corrections are very welcome!

At-a-glance list:

1. Lizze (리지)

2. Midnight (미드나잇)

3. Rebecca (레베카)

4. Pirate (해적)

5. V Ever After (V 에버 애프터)

6. Frida (프리다)

7. Red Cliff (적벽)

8. Bernarda Alba (베르나르다 알바)

Adding to my big theory to what is happening on April 19th at Watcher Entertainment:

To add to this relaunch theory, I noticed something from this Instagram story posted by Lizzie Lockard the Head of Production at Watcher:

Now the environment/place is not what sparked my interest because I can easily tell it’s from their trip to Korea for Steven, Andrew, and Adam’s new show. What I’m truly curious about is the emoji choice.

The color purple.

Why is this a big deal? Remember in the new intro/outro that debuted in the recent Mystery Files episode after all the cool imagery/animation?:

The background is a subtle purple.

Is the color purple the new theme color of Watcher for this relaunch?

Why is purple such an important color?

🤔Thoughts?🤔

#am i thinking too much? probs.#urple #watcher #watcher entertainment #ryan bergara #shane madej #steven lim #wtf is going on at watcher hq?!#my april 19th theory

hi friends I sort of stopped using tumblr the last two months because there's been a lot going on irl!! (I'm trying to return to work after a 2 year break! also generally trying to get my shit together! I tried reformer pilates! I went on a spontaneous unhinged trip overseas to south korea just for fun which is very unlike me and I'm still running off the adrenaline of that decision!)

I'm pretty bad at time management though so something had to suffer and unfortunately it was tumblr/being active in fandom/reading rwrb fics (omg i have so much fic to catch up on) 🥲 tysm though for continuing to tag me in things, and making me feel like a part of the community still 🥺 I did try to come on here once a week to have a look at what I've been tagged in!!

anyway, from now on I'm going to try my best to make more time for fandom (and the @rwrbficrecs blog 😅) because I miss being active here and I have fomo 😂 (also for wip wednesdays/sss sorry in advance if all I have energy for is a post like or a reblog that lacks the screaming/enthusiastic tags I used to do 🥲)

hope y'all are having a good year so far ❤️

tagged everyone below who tagged me in something since the the start of the year, as a "hi sorry if it seemed like i ignored something you tagged me in but just letting you know i saw the tag and appreciate you thought of me ❤️"

Flowerbank Entertainment is a South Korean entertainment company that was established in 2012. It was originally founded as MysticMusic in 1990 by Lee Joonshik as a music distribution company. However, the company didn't debut its first idol group until 1995, with the formation of "Electric Angels," a three-piece girl group comprising Soojin (20), Eunji (17), and Lizzy (15). Although they were successful, they never became a household name and disbanded in 2000. After the disbandment of Electric Angels, the company would debut the rotational girl group Allume, which would remain their only artist until 2012. After Lee Joonshik's death in 2012, Lee Iseul, also known as Lizzy, inherited MysticMusic and became the CEO. She immediately began transforming the company, firing more than half of the staff and ultimately closing down MysticMusic. The company re-emerged a few months later under the name Flowerbank Entertainment, promising to usher in a new era of idols.

Lee Iseul was born in 1980 to Lee Joonshik and Lee Yuha in Seoul, South Korea. Always having dreams of being a dancer, Iseul had the upper hand in the industry due to her father being the CEO and founder of MysticMusic. Iseul would go on to debut under her father's company, her debut being her 15th birthday present. Despite it being her dream, Iseul quickly learned that the industry was cruel and unforgiving, especially towards young girls.

After the disbandment of Electric Angels, Iseul would attend college and begin studying law and business. With endless funding from her father, Iseul was able to obtain three degrees in Business Management, Business Law, and Entrepreneurship. She would inherit MysticMusic after her father's untimely passing in 2012, becoming the CEO at just 32. She would begin immediately rebranding the company to fit her vision of what she wants the idol industry to be.

Iseul has been described as a "tough boss but a caring boss" by her artists and co-workers. Though her exterior is tough and cold, she has a love and dedication to all the artists under Flowerbank and works tirelessly to provide a safe and caring environment for all.

Carmen Bae was born in 1984 in Colorado to Mindy and Sam Bae. Carmen was very popular in her small hometown, being captain of the cheerleading squad as well as student body president. She would find herself in South Korea once she graduated high school, wanting to spend more time with her grandmother and get in touch with her culture.

Carmen began attending university a few months after her arrival in Korea, meeting Lee Iseul in her business management class, where the two became quick friends. The pair learned quickly that they worked extremely well together, getting class projects done in a matter of hours while their other classmates needed day. They were dubbed "the dream team" by their professor and the name seemed to stick with them. The pair would eventually move in together during Carmen's senior year of college.

As she was studying for her master's degree in 2012, Iseul offered Carmen the position of Co-CEO and CFO of the newly established company Flowerbank Entertainment. She would take on the position as creative director of the company, overseeing all their groups from 2012 to 2015 as well.

Carmen is highly regarded for her compassionate and empathetic nature. She has the ability to lend an ear to her artists and offer a supportive shoulder to lean on. As per the artists at Flowerbank, they find Carmen more approachable and easier to talk to than CEOs. Therefore, they usually prefer to take their concerns to her instead of Iseul.

Bahng Taeu was born in 1989 in Busan, South Korea. Taeu was always described as kind and caring when growing up. He was often called a "saint" by his mother, taking care of his three younger siblings and running tutoring services for kids in his grade who needed extra help.

Tragically, during Taeu's first year of university, his father passed away, leaving his mother with very little financial support. He would take the mantle of being the sole provider for his family, working any job he could find while also attending university. During this time, Taeu would begin modeling for a quick paycheck. Under an exploitative company, Taeu was forced into doing a lot of acting and modeling gigs he was not comfortable with but would do for the money. Once Taeu graduated from college, he continued to work for the company until his contract expired in 2014.

Once his contract expired, Taeu found himself working with Stormedia as a creative director and consultant. Proving himself to be innovative and fresh in the scene, Flowerbank Entertainment would quickly get into contact with him and hire him as creative director of the company, overseeing all their groups since 2015.

In 2020, Taeu was promoted to COO but still remains one of the main creative directors in Flowerbank Entertainment.

Taeu has been described as a joy to work with by the artists under Flowerbank, always ensuring the idols are safe and comfortable as well as giving them as much creative freedom as possible.

Moon Haemin was born in 1992 in Daegu, South Korea, but would live in Melbourne, Australia, from the time he was 6 to 18 years old. Being the youngest in his family, Haemin was described as quiet and shy, often leading to him getting picked on by kids at school. Haemin didn't have a lot of friends while in Australia, opting instead to play video games or draw in the safety of his room.

Once graduating high school, Haemin would go and study in Korea. Haemin seemed to flourish once in Korea, double majoring in social sciences and business and making a bunch of new friends. During this time, however, Haemin ended up getting one of those new friends pregnant, and they would welcome a daughter two months after they graduated from university in 2014.

Though the pair never married, they lived together and co-parented up until 2020, when they decided to live separately while still co-parenting their daughter, Chungyi. After the split, Haemin would find himself being hired by Flowerbank Entertainment as their HR manager. He'd later be promoted to HR director and Program Director. He also works as the manager of the girl group ALLUME.

The artists at Flowerbank don't say much about Haemin except that he's a hardass and cold if he doesn't like you. While he does his job well, he isn't the most favored employee at the company.

Here comes a great month for new Phantom stuff!

Horrified by Lauren DeLuca is a comedy revolving around a frazzled theater manager being harassed by mysterious accidents and disappearing performers. DeLuca's done straight Phantom adaptations before, so this one is likely to be more than a little bit the same story, this time with a humorous twist.

Erik's Tale by Jessica Mason is a prequel to her adaptation of the original story, focusing largely on Erik's childhood and adolescence and specifically his time being exhibited in the traveling carnival, in the Shah's court in Persia, and various new European adventures in between.

Phantom by K.M. Mixon is a modern-day version of the story, revolving around a young woman writer who tries to retreat to work on a book only to have to deal with both a frightening stalker obsessed with her talent and a sexy landlord who may be her only hope.

The Phantom of Netherfield by Abbey North is exactly what you might be expecting - a Phantom and Pride & Prejudice crossover, in which Lizzie inherits a theater and tries to keep it afloat while a Fitzwilliam Phantom moons over her from below the stage. (For those wondering, Raoul has been cast as Wickham, so this is not a particularly pro-Raoul adaptation, I suspect.)

Phantom: The Musical is a professionally shot version of the 1991 Yeston/Kopit musical, which is extremely popular in Asia and often sees lush adaptations. This is the newest one from South Korea, featuring k-pop idol Kyuhyun from the group Super Junior in the lead role.

Phantom Fun-World is an amusement-park slasher featuring a masked Phantom who menaces Fun World and its employees, apparently due to some past trauma or betrayal. (Fun to wonder if it owes anything to the 1979 KISS film, or the Wonder Woman episode!)

Synthwave: The Phantom of the Opera is one of those neat projects putting a new spin on the 1925 Lon Chaney film, with new custom color and music to change its vibes. (These are always cool because they come close to the original theatrical experience - the movie would have been accompanied by a live organ- or piano-player and thus would have had different soundtracks at different performances!)
