Korean "The Phantom of the Opera"

While still on the topic of "The Phantom of the Opera", I've came across a few video clips on Youtube from this show. However, it's neither the London cast, nor the Singapore (Australian?) cast. It was an all-Korean cast, and everyone's singing in Korean!

"Think of Me" (half version - from the part Christine Daae changed her costume)


"Phantom of the Opera"


"Prima Donna"


"All I Ask of You" and "The Phantom of the Opera" (not from the stage show, but from a concert)


The Korean cast version was staged in 2002, starring Kim So-Hyun as Christine Daae (alternate), Ryu Jung-Han as Raoul and Yoon Young-Soek as the Phantom. For those who did not watch the production currently being stage at the Esplanade, or just haven't been there yet, the costumes and choreography of the Korean version is more or less similar to what I had seen at the Esplanade.
