"[T]hey face struggles both cultural and personal that threaten to dismantle one of the industry's hottest labels," the website said.

The show will also tackle the idols' endless discipline, raw talent, and ambition which makes them global stars.

The cast features both theater actors and K-Pop idols including Luna, the founding member of the girl group (f)x.

"KPOP" debuted off-Broadway in 2017. The musical's book is by Jason Kim, while the music and lyrics are by Helen Park and Max Vernon.
