[NEWS] [110527] 2AM Seulong, Jo Kwon - Interpretion of Love
2AM, a 4-member ballad group, is one of the rising stars in Korea.
The 4 members : Chang Min, Seul Ong, Jo Kwon and Jin Woon participated a program named “Hot Blood” back in early 2008, (T/N: Actually Chang Min didn’t participate in "Hot Blood" because he was in army back then), were chosen from 13 people to form the present 2AM, and packaged as a “multi-talented all-rounded group”. Singing, acting, dancing are all their fortes.
Being distinctively recognized as one of the hottest ballad idol group in the Korean entertainment industry, the 4 members gain more mutual understanding among themselves as they collaborate together. The following interview is divided into 2 groups/parts, and ShinChew Daily only managed to interview Seul Ong and Jo Kwon.
When 2AM, who were seperated by a wall, was asked who is the most narcissistic member in 2AM, Jo Kwon and Seul Ong became dorky immediately and their eyes are set on Chang Min and Jin Woon who were in the adjacent room.
They said that the both of them are narcissists. Then, Seul Ong joked and said :”Just kidding!” As the leader, Jo Kwon supported Seul Ong’s statement and said : “We aren’t narcissists at all!! This is because 2AM is too busy, and don’t even have the time for “narcissism!”
Good points. Bad Points
Although Jo Kwon is the shortest member among 2AM, he does work with responsibility and strong motivation, which are the points that Seul Ong admires and respects a lot. To him, Jo Kwon is someone who is “100% perfect with no flaws”, and Jo Kwon admires Seul Ong’s enthusiasm towards the entertainment industry. Jo Kwon explained : ” He is always enthusiastic in everything he does, and very meticulous. He does everything with optismism and he’s just like the charismatic celebrity, Cha Seung-won that Korean females like!
So what’s Seul Ong’s bad points in Jo Kwon’s view? He immediately laughed and said that they were at the pool in the hotel playing when Seul Ong slipped and injured his toes and said, “He really likes to joke around a lot, and sometimes he tends to go overboard when he plays which usually will cause this kind of physical damage (referring to the slip). Seul Ong who was behind him, was looking rather chastised and it seems that he does agree with what the leader has said!
Choosing roles according to age.
Jo Kwon and Seul Ong acted in the sitcom “All My Love” and movie “Acoustic” respectively. When asked to comment on each other’s acting skills, Jo Kwon mentioned casually that : “Actually there is still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to our acting skills, so before we act for a production, we’ll work hard and prepare thoroughly, in order to provide surprises for all fans!” Jo Kwon also revealed that Seul Ong has recently taken on a new show, and he will continue to film the 200-episode long “All My Love” to continue to showcase his humourous side.
Although they have insufficient acting experience, but the both of them have roles which they want to challenge. Seul Ong wants to be casted in a more manly role. “Actually I like action-packed movies a lot, and I always wanted to try acting as a bodyguard or a fighter. And of course, I would like to try roles of different aspects if there’s a chance."
On the other hand, Jo Kwon prefers to try different roles according to his age. “Now that I’m still very young, I would like to try acting the roles that suits my current age, and wait till when I’m older, then I’ll try acting roles belonging to the age group." It seems like he doesn’t want a vast leap between what he is in reality and the age of character in his role.
2AM first debuted in 2008, and their popularity continues to rise gradually year by year. They look up to their seniors and stepped out of Korea to 'invade' other Asian markets. Speaking on what’s the most joyous thing since debut, Seul Ong said it can be divided into 4 stages. ” The first one is when we just debuted, then it’s acheiving #1 on music charts, and then it’s the first time opening a concert, and lastly it’s acheiving music awards. These are all the things that we’re most happy about!”.
And so when does 2AM, who often create and bring laughter to everyone on TV shows, feel disappointed? Jo Kwon expressed that at times when some pre-planned matters like release of album or performances have to be cancelled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances, will all cause 2AM to be very disappointed. However, if they’re unable to excecute as panned, they will also make full use of the time to do preparation and would not let it to be wasted.
Future Goal
Every celebrity has a behind-the-story process to reveal on becoming part of the entertainment industry, and 2AM was formed because of their pariticipation in “Hot Blood”. Jo Kwon said frankly that even if he isn’t a member of 2AM, he would still venture into the entertainment industry. “I’ve never thought of myself doing jobs in other industries, I wanted to venture into the entertainment industry wholeheartedly all along.” On the other hand, Seul Ong is interested in fashion trends, and said that if he isn’t a singer, he would like to be a fashion designer or a traveller. “I’ve always been interested in all these since young!” In private, Chang Min would often seek advice from him regarding matching clothes, and also asking for his opinion. Seul Ong is almost like Chang Min’s personal fashion stylist.
Because they’re idol groups, the mangement company will try all means to shield questions on relationship and this interview isn’t an exception. Two questions related to “love” and “relationship” were rejected. But when asked about what’s their interpretation of love, they’re very willing to answer. Seul Ong said : “As long as I’m with the woman I like, no matter where I’m, the romantic feeling lingers!”. As for Jo Kwon, his definition of romance is “doing something for someone with sincerity and whole-heartedly”. It looks like 2AM’s sincerity and wholeheartedness for fans, is when they show their romantic side!
What are 2AM's future goals then? Jo Kwon ssid : “We have already acheived our goal of achieving a big award (Daesung) in music, also also completed our primary goal as a singer. In the future, we would like to become Korea’s national group, and also become the distinctive group for Hallyu around the world! We believed that with 2AM’s effort, they would achieve their goals very quickly!
