KPop Star Niel Returns to the Musical Stage with ‘Time Between Dog and Cat’

Niel, the talented K-pop idol and musical actor known for his role in Teen Top, is making a powerful return to the stage with the musical ‘Time Between Dog and Cat’. The show officially opened at Daehangno The Good Theater on May 22 at 8 p.m., signaling Niel’s much-anticipated comeback performance after a four-year hiatus from this particular production.

‘Time Between Dog and Cat’ is a heartwarming narrative that explores empathy and perspective through the friendship of a black dog named Raptor and a black cat named Pluto, who join forces to solve a mysterious incident. The two animals, who have little in common aside from their fur color, grow to understand each other’s worldview—and, in doing so, gain greater insight into humanity itself.

In the musical, Niel takes on the role of Pluto, a street-raised black cat who remains wary of humans but is guided by endless curiosity. His emotionally nuanced portrayal promises to capture hearts as he steps once again into this role, last performed in 2021.

Niel has earned critical acclaim for his vocal prowess and dramatic depth through previous works like ‘King Arthur’ and ‘Dream High’. With his recent comeback album ‘SHE’ and a successful run in the musical ‘Get Off Work at 6 O’Clock’, Niel has solidified his reputation as a multi-talented entertainer who seamlessly transitions between the music and theater worlds.

‘Time Between Dog and Cat’ will run until August 10 at Daehangno The Good Theater, offering audiences a unique perspective on life and compassion through the lens of charming animal characters. As the summer season unfolds, fans and theatergoers alike are eager to see what new dimensions Niel will bring to the beloved character of Pluto.
