Jung Sung-hwa Recounts Hilarious 'Les Misérables' Stage Mishap: 'Thought I'd Poop My Pants!'

Musical actor Jung Sung-hwa shared a rather embarrassing and urgent anecdote from his time performing in 'Les Misérables' on the YouTube channel 'Jjanhan Hyung' episode 111.

During the broadcast, Jung Sung-hwa reminisced about his co-star Jung Sang-hoon, noting his growth as a performer. "He used to try to make people laugh, but now he performs hoping the audience will laugh with him. Jung Sang-hoon has really grown," he said warmly.

He also spoke fondly of MC Shin Dong-yeop, stating, "He was like an older brother who gave me pocket money. Thanks to him, I could eat delicious food and even pay my rent." Jung Sung-hwa and Jung Sang-hoon recounted a surprise birthday meal they prepared for Shin Dong-yeop, which led to Shin Dong-yeop playfully exclaiming, "I was so shocked, I almost hit you guys!"

When asked about challenging performance moments, Jung Sung-hwa recalled a specific scene in 'Les Misérables.' "While singing loudly in a prisoner's costume, I felt like I was going to have an accident," he confessed. "But I was on stage, so I thought, 'Let's just go with it!' and poured my energy into the song."

He further elaborated with a laugh, "Even though I was desperately uncomfortable, that particular song turned out to be the best performance of the night." The actor then described the frantic rush after the show. "As soon as the curtain fell, it took me 3 minutes to change out of my costume. One minute to change, one minute to use the restroom, and I had to rush back on stage in the final minute," he revealed, leaving the hosts in stitches.
