Exclusive interview with Lee Min Ho
about acting skill
COOL: Quite a number of projects you have participated since debut, can you tell us each role's feature and your feeling when playing that role? do not consider audience's response, which project affect you most?
LMH: For the 2 recent projects, Goo Jupyo is very arrogant yet innocent, Jeon Jinho's personality is cool but very human, and he's very responsible. Actually, when I confirmed every project, I wouldn't have any hesitation, I would just concentrate to work on it.
COOL: After first episode of BOF was aired, many talked about your style since it's very special. But if talk about acting, no matter your appearance, or when you were sitting pridefully to wait for servant to put on shoes for you, you were totally into the role. It an be said that " in the first episode, you are the actor who get into the state the fastest", and acted very naturally. Did you do a lot of preparation on your own beforehand?
LMH: GJP is an ellite who has been living in the upper calss society, bu these cannot make him happy or satisfied. People might not see this kind of role in reality very often. No matter the outlook or in the heart, I have tried very hard to show how "GJP" look like, the way I speak and attitude had become full of pride. In addition, I especially learned lot of sports like riding and golf etc.
COOL: many said that you become famous in one night, do you agree with that?
LMH: It's difficult for anyone to start again after you have started once. Though a lot of people support me now, I feel that there's a long way to success for me.
COOL: Because of your handsome appearance, everyone subconsciously hope you would continue to develop as an idol. What do you think about your career and choice of role?
LMH: It's always my dream to become an actor until now. Nowadays idols have to prepare and receive lots of training before debut, if I want to develop as an idol, I think I still need a lot of practice. Also I can't be an idol at my age now (laugh) (editor: that's hurt to hear that, he's still so young!) I think I would be very happy if I could finish my current works well.
COOL: A good actor has to understand the intention of director, and also to interpret the characteristics of the role as well as acting response, How do you think you have done on that?
LMH: I think thorough discussion with director is necessary for full and accurate understanding of a role, master the notion/ intention of the director is a must
COOL: The ones who act in idol drama" do not have good acting skill, that's a thought of many which inevitably exist. How would you prove yourself to others that you have got good acting skill?
LMH: I will be paying more attention to learn acting, I hope every project in future wold receive good feedback. I always remind myself that though there would be a lot of difficulties to overcome, trying the best would definitely find a solution to them.
COOL: usually handsome actors would face similar problem: the appearance would limit the choice of roles, have you ever think about that?
LMH: I have never thought about that. I think even if that is the most difficult role, you would act well if you take it seriously.
COOL: What kind of role you want to challenge most? what is the role that "if I can overcome that, appearance would never be a matter!"
LMH: There are a lot of roles that I ant to challenge (laugh) Those manly role, or the role with much charisma, etc. There would be more roles that I want to challenge whenever I finished a project. I think even a vagrant would carry his own charisma, thus appearance doesn't matter
COOL: What kind of movie you like most?
LMH: I like horror movie (I can't understand what is 反转型)
COOL: Which movie you have watched over 3 times? What was that attractive to you?
LMH: there are 2 movies that I always watch. one is "A beautiful Mind", which is a story about self battle; another one is "A bitter Sweet Life", the ambiance of the movie and Lee Byun Hun's acting are very attractive to me
