The army musical "Return," which deals with the excavation of remains of fallen soldiers from the Korean War, is scheduled to be re-staged this year, and it is expected that EXO's D.O. and FTISLAND's Lee Hong Ki will be cast.

According to OSEN's coverage on the morning of the 31st, it has been confirmed that the musical "Return" is currently in the planning stage.

The opening date is not yet determined, but they are currently accelerating the process of creating the casting lineup.

The musical "Return" is a work that transfers the calling to "not give up until the last person is enshrined" for the 133,000 fallen soldiers left by the Korean War, the most heartbreaking event in Korean history, to the musical stage, focusing on the remains that have not yet returned through the remains excavation project.

Especially as this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, the audience's mindset when watching the musical "Return" will be exceptional.

An official from the army musical told OSEN, "We are promoting the proposal for 'Return'," adding, "However, we are still deciding whether to proceed due to the spread of COVID-19. The opening date is also uncertain."

He also stated cautiously, "We are selecting suitable roles for soldiers who are celebrities currently serving in the military, those who wish to perform, and professional musical actors. The casting lineup will be completed with all soldiers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Although EXO's D.O. and FTISLAND's Lee Hong Ki have been mentioned as candidates, it is undecided in what roles they will appear."

Meanwhile, EXO's D.O. (Do Kyung Soo) enlisted on July 1st of last year, and FTISLAND's Lee Hong Ki enlisted on September 30th of last year.
