The musical will wrap up its run in the Japanese city on Nov. 6 and the Korean version is scheduled to kick off on Dec. 6 at Chungmu Art Hall until Feb. 5, with an Asia-wide tour being planned after that.

"200 Pounds Beauty" is a musical adaptation of the eponymous film about a 125 kg woman who transforms from an ugly duckling into a stunner with the aid of plastic surgery.

"I'm very happy that Japanese audiences have shown so much love and support for the musical. They love it so much, thankfully, but I believe there is still room for much improvement. I will do my best to improve every day", said Park.
