Chief Producer Kwak Ki Won on Yoochun: “Compared to singing it seems he’s more suited for acting”

101021 Park Yoochun – Compared To Singing It Seems He’s More Suited For Acting

“Micky Yoochun; rather than being a singer, it seems he is more suited to be an actor.” The KBS youth drama [SungKyunKwan Scandal] has aired half of its episodes so far and this is Chief Producer Kwak Ki Won’s take on Micky Yoochun, who plays the role of Lee Seonjoon.

[SungKyunKwan Scandal]’s Chief Producer Kwak Ki Won said, “For every beginner, in the beginning, they will always be struggling to digest their lines, yet Micky Yoochun has been on the right track since episode 5. This means that he has already made a big leap in his acting career and for Micky Yoochun who is in this current state, he must have a lot of desire for acting.”

Chief Producer Kwak also expressed, “To be honest, the first time I met Park Yoochun, based on his expressions and behavior, I already felt that he would be suited for acting. Although most of the idol singers turned actors in recent dramas have been more or less disappointing, from the beginning, I did not worry in the least when it came to Micky Yoochun.”

He praised him highly and said, “In episode 15, during the SungKyunKwan student council, Park Yoochun appeared as a witness to the gay scandal and he used the Confucian teaching of “仁义礼智”* to portray a sharp scene. The lines are already a lot, and if not acted well, it could easily become a scene like preaching, yet he was able to concentrate all his efforts and fully digest his role, filling the scene with rich emotion.”

“The change from the stubborn man full of principles in the beginning, to the current shy man of principles, seems to be easy for him.” CP Kwak also added that “he has the voice for both period dramas and modern dramas”.

Micky Yoochun is currently doing well acting as the son of the Left Prime Minister in [SungKyunKwan Scandal], portraying Lee Seonjoon, who judges others by his principles and yet, is ruled by a sincere heart. With his low voice and gentle expressions, he is the core weapon in the “SungKyunKwan Quartet”.

In episode 16, which aired on the 19th, after coming to know that his roommate in SungKyunKwan is a girl, Lee Seonjoon and Yeonhee have their first kissing scene, foretelling the unfolding of a new chapter of their romantic love story.

*仁义礼智: This belongs to the 5 tenets of Confucius “仁义礼智信”, which are the core of the Confucian philosophy. In order, from left to right, they stand for:
benevolence / charity
justice / rectitude
politeness / tact
wisdom / knowledge
fidelity / trust

Han Hyo Joo: “I like JaeJoong’s music”

101014 Han Hyo Joo: “I Like Jaejoong’s Music”

Han Hyo Joo, who has recently wrapped up the drama “Dong Yi”, caught a serious bout of flu, and looking a little thinner than usual, arrived at the coffee shop for the interview.

(t/n: only related information was translated)

The day before Han Hyo Joo accepted this interview, on the 19th, she participated in a KBS2 programme and displayed her talent in music. In reality, Han Hyo Joo has a lot of interest with regards to music. Of course, her interest in music has also sparked off a lot of curiosity and she also freely shared about her world of music, saying, “I prefer independent bands like ’10CM’ and ‘Broccoli neomajeo’, I also like pop/contemporary music and Youngwoong Jaejoong’s music.”

It has been a week since the end of MBC’s Monday-Tuesday drama “Dong Yi” and Han Hyo Joo, who is currently trying to regain her peaceful and quiet life, sent her regards to her colleagues who have worked hard for the drama. Speaking of her drama experience, she said, “It passed by so quickly, in a blur.” At the same time, she also candidly admitted that the support she received from Lee Seung Gi* and Youngwoong Jaejoong** was a big help.

Hyo Joo said that compared to Seung Gi’s style of wishing her all the best, which is more typical, she prefers Youngwoong Jaejoong’s style, which is more humourous and witty.

Hyo Joo laughed and said, “Jaejoong-oppa’s*** encouragement is always interesting, even if it is just one line. When I say I’m tired, he would yell ‘You can do it girl!’**** and encourage me that way. But sometimes when I call him, he’s always not in Korea; in another country instead.”

*Lee Seung Gi was her co-star in the Korean drama “Brilliant Legacy”
**Jaejoong & Hyo Joo acted as co-stars in the Japan-Korean Telecinema Project “Postman to Heaven”
***Oppa = a term used by a younger female to address an older male
****The term for “girl” is usually used by someone older, to someone younger, and is usually a sign of affection/shows some form of closeness.

Yunho: “Go for a date at Seoul tower!”

101021 Yunho: “Go For A Date At Seoul Tower!”

–How does it feel to participate in the video “Haru”, to promote Korea’s tourism?

I portray an action star who loses my girlfriend’s ring after the action scenes, so I continuously search for an identical ring. In the end, it’s a happy ending where I find the ring and manage to meet my girlfriend. While filming on Gwang An Bridge in Busan, I had to run to and fro many times and even had to avoid the bombs from the plane. There were many demanding action scenes. I thought that since I’m doing it, I might as well do the best I can.

–From Yunho’s point of view, is this a very cool job?

Although it’s embarrassing to say so myself, I think it’s really cool.

Following this, we slowly discovered Yunho’s daily habits.

–Firstly, what’s your favourite food in Korean cuisine?

Samgyetang.(t/n: Ginseng chicken soup) It’s really good for the body.

–How do you spend your holidays?

My days are usually really busy since I keep thinking that I’ll be able to spend my holidays leisurely. If possible, I’d like to go on a trip. I’m really interested in photography, so I like to take pictures. I’d like to tour a few interesting places, leisurely take some photos and after that, organize all my feelings at those moments into a diary; that seems nice.

–If you date a Japanese girl, what would be your itinerary?

If it’s in Seoul, then it has to be the Seoul Tower. From the viewing gallery, you can see all the sights of Seoul, so the Seoul that you see from there, is really beautiful. Also, there’s a lot of good food in the vicinity.

Also, do you know the special lovers’ place in Seoul Tower? The couple writes their wishes on a lock and hang it on a fence at Seoul Tower, and pray for it to come true…

–Then, have you ever been on that kind of date?

Yes~ I’ve been there with my friends and family! (laugh)

–Where you’ve gone to have fun recently?

If it’s recently… I went to a place called Jeju-do. The ebb and flow of the waves there follow the appearance and disappearance of the paths, so that’s pretty interesting.

–The place Yunho often appears at in Seoul?

Because I really like movies, if I have time, I go to the cinema often. Ah! If the Japanese fans go to the cinemas in Seoul, they might meet me.

–The cinema you frequent?

I won’t tell you the exact location~

–It seems like there will be an increase of fans around cinemas in Seoul. Then, please give a hint for your favourite restaurant.

I frequent this barbeque place at Apgujeong-dong because there’s seating at the roof so you can people watch and eat at the same time. The insides of the shop is plastered with my posters, so it’s easy to find. (laugh)

–Where do you shop?

There are more malls at Apgujeong-dong so I shop there more frequently. Also, Seoul has Dongdaemun, where you can shop for 24 hours, so if you go there, there are many interesting shops.

–Have you ever shopped in Dongdaemun?

I go there really rarely. If I have time and I can, I would go.

–Lastly, please tell us something that’s trendy.

(in Japanese) Traveling!
