The Korean cast of Death Note the Musical were clearly having a fabulous time performing the show. In fact, as the last curtain fell, a handful of actors didn't want to go.
Led by Kwang-Ho Hong, the group didn't exit stage left, as they were supposed to do, once the final bows had been given on August 15th 2015.

The Kira actor raced to catch up with Sun-ah Jung (Misa), reaching out to pull her back into the limelight.
She'd already left the stage by the time he was able to grab her. Undaunted Hong dragged her back from the wings; grasping the arm of Hong-suk Kang (Ryuk) for good measure too.

Shinigami and Second Kira secured, Hong then called out across the stage to forestall another actor's exit over there.
Attention caught, kisses were blown in the direction of Jun-su Kim (aka Xia Junsu, JYJ KPop idol now playing L) - who was taking his own sweet time in leaving the stage; too busy waving to the audience to have yet disappeared into the wings.
Naturally his colleagues' kisses were reciprocated...
... prompting a fair amount of bouncing and applause from Jung and Hong, as Kang looked on. Kim answered with a much more cursory wave back, albeit grinning like a Cheshire Cat.

Jung now patently considered all extra-curricula shenanigans to be over, as she made her way back towards the wings.
Before Hong's reaching cry brought her to a jolting stop, half in the wings on tip-toe, her arms flying into the air. She turned quickly about, hand out-stretched towards her on-stage beau.
The Light Yagami actor had already grasped the forearm of his shinigami pal, lest Kang also entertain ideas about bringing this curtain call to a premature end.

After all, Junsu was still on-stage, blowing kisses and waving to fans in the audience, who loudly replied with rapturous accolades...
... growing yet more in volume, as Junsu tearfully took a long, long bow. His actions emulated on the other side of the stage by Jung, Kang and Hong.

All four eventually standing to issue one last laughing wave at the theatre crowd, before leaving the stage for the last time.
Korean Death Note the Musical Final Curtain
There was more than one fan in the audience with a camera. They captured footage of that prolonged curtain call for Death Note the Musical's final performance in Seoul, with others additionally filming the official ending - and speeches - which preceded it.
Seoul Musical Death Note After-show Party
The celebrations didn't end there. After fifty-seven performances, it was only right to wind things down with a post-show Death Note party for the cast and their guests.
Pictures have flown around Twitter to give you a taste of how that played out.
