Q: Was New Zealand the place where you studied abroad?
A: Yes, before I graduated from junior high school, my mother said to me, If you dont study now, your studies will be delayed until I dont know when. During that time, I was already famous, so I could not live a normal life in school. My mother said, Go out to study what you want to study. So I went to New Zealand with my mother.
Q: Is your mother fluent in English?
A: No, she does not speak English at all. (Laughs) My mother and I went to a language center to learn. Unable to speak English, her choice of living with me abroad for one year was not easy. My mother is a woman to be respected.
Q: What did you gain while living in New Zealand?
A: Yes, that is - even when Im standing before a foreigner, I wont get nervous. When a foreigner, especially Europeans and Americans walks towards you, what should I say, what to do
., the people who feel afraid and run away are many. Although Im not fluent in English, how should I explain this, that is - I wont feel nervous even when Im standing before a foreigner. I would greet them friendly, for example, if someone asks for directions, I can point out the directions very well, I gained this confidence when I was in New Zealand.
Q: After studying abroad you starred in the youth sitcom <<Nonstop 4>> when you were 17 years old as a medical student who is conscious to the latest trends. I heard that you have your own kind of creativity.
A: When I met the director for the first time, I said to him, I would like to act, I wanted to be a doctor since young, and I like to play the role of a fun-loving medical student. There was really a medical student role in the script, I was surprised. Because <<Nonstop 4>> is a situation comedy (sitcom), although there are stories and touching moments, it must be able to make the audience laugh. If I think like this, I still have to accept a lot of challenges. Being able to make up the latest slangs, and do fitting actions when saying my lines. Because I felt that everything was new, I myself tried a lot of different actions during acting, so if the audience respond was good, I would come up with another scene of my own.
Q: After <<Nonstop 4>>, you acted in <<Lovers in Prague>> without your fathers permission kinda like a high school kid that loves to rebel huh?
A: I wanted to present a side of me that was different from <<Nonstop 4>>. Back then, the drama shooting happened to clash with the university entrance exam, so I was quite worried about the results. Luckily, the exam was successful and <<Lovers in Prague>> became the last project I took up before I hit 20 years old.
After that, we told him Now were going to ask you questions regarding <<Doremifasolasido>>
, and he said Ah
this too??? (gives an uneasy expression). He even said that out of all his works to date, this is the only one that he never wishes to see or to be blunt, will never watch.
Q : Did something happen while you were shooting <<Doremifasolasido>>?
A: Frankly speaking, <<Doremi>> and <<Baby and Me>> they werent the movies that I acted in because I wanted to. Im sorry for being so direct (laughs) but its the truth.
Q: You mean you cant reject them?
A: Back then, I already signed a contract with the company to shoot the movie, so I couldnt go back on my word. If I dont like something, I wouldnt want to do it thats the kind of character I have! And I dont like to dictate
Even if I put in my best to portray that character, I also cant predict whether that movie will be successful or not. Right after I finished the shooting, they (his company) approached a tired me, saying: This is your next movie
and passed me the movie script that made me even more stressed.
Hence, I really couldnt concentrate fully on the set, so I lamented to my manager Why am I here??? Thats how I felt when I did that movie
Q: Did the shooting go on smoothly then?
A: Something else happened (laughs). Halfway through the shooting, the investors stopped investing, so the shooting couldnt continue. So I went on to act in Hwang Jini, Hong Gil Dong and The Happy Life
2 years later, I actually got a phone call saying that I have to shoot Doremi again, that I must finish it no matter what. I was like Why??? Even though I couldnt totally understand, I still had to accept and shoot the movie; such situations are very common in Korea.
Q: Didnt you find the storyline interesting? Was <<Doremifasolasido>> really not to your liking?
A: By just looking at the script, it wasnt that bad. However, just like building a house, even if the foundation is good, it doesnt mean that the house will be built to perfection. The same logic goes for movies and dramas. Besides the script, the actors, director, camera crew and all to produce a good show, everything must be a perfect combination. Through this, I felt that I must always protect myself properly and make myself stronger. Although I really didnt want to do the movie, if only I tried putting in a little bit more passion into it, maybe things would have been different. Because at the end of the day, my name would still appear with the movie. Whenever I thought of that, I felt it was a pity.
Q: Was <<One Missed Call>> a movie that you took up after you sorted things out?
A: Haha, yes it is (laughs). I was 19 or 20 then - thats when I heard they were searching for an actor around this age soon after, I received notice to go for the audition. During that period, I actually had no job offers. Those actors whom I acted previously with in <<Nonstop 4>> were all very active
One Missed Call was what I got while searching for audition opportunities
Q: Do you still keep in contact with your co-stars Maki Horikita and Meisa Kuroki?
A: No. I was not very close with them while I was shooting the movie. Im the type who doesnt exchange numbers with my co-stars. Even without exchanging numbers, we can still communicate to a certain extent while being respectful of one another. If we become close and meet up for drinks etc, then it will be hard to maintain the professionalism
Thats why I am not close friends with any female stars ah, that is, besides Kim Hee Chul. (laughs)
Q: Maki and Meisa are very popular now
A: From their point of view, to me, <<One Missed Call>> and <<Doremi>> are the same
Q: Is there a possibility for shooting a Japanese movie again?
A: Of course, I would consider it. The script is most important when it comes to choosing my next project, but its also as important for me to have the I really want to act this role type of feeling. If I really like the project, I will shoot it without hesitation even if it is a comedy. Ah
yes! Ive long heard that Im the type of guy that the Japanese like ah, then why am I still not Bae Yong Jun? (laughs)
