Based on the 1973 French play of the same name by Jean Poiret, the title of the local show has been shortened to "La Cage" from "La Cage Aux Folles," to make it easier for people to memorize, according to the publicist.Lee, who is one of the strongest vocalists in 2AM and in the country, will play a character named Jean-Michel, a man grown under same-sex parent, George and Albin. Along with Lee, MBC’s big hit “The Moon Embracing the Sun” star Lee Min-ho has been cast to play Jean-Michel as well. The singer and actor made his debut as a ballad artist in 2AM with Jo Kwon, Seulong and Jinwoon with the debut single “This Song” in 2008.2AM's "I Wonder If You Hurt Like Me" from the latest release "F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Way of Love," has been scoring a number of wins on televised music programs and online music charts since it dropped on March 12.※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
