Jang Keun Suk: A 26-year-old's frank confes
Because of the tight schedule and long hours of standby, at the time the single word diligent and give up comes sl:-) deep down from his heart, this interview is a success. Those that have awaited this, will realize that there will be a greater expectation. This year ushered in the 20th anniversary of the debut of Actor Jang Keun Suk.
What is his charm? 26-year-old Jang Keun Suk, tells his true story.
1) I AM Jang Keun Suk, will this be able to fully express my words? It may not be enough. In a corner of my body is evil black, another corner is justice white, both co-exist. Obviously these are the two different colors. I think perhaps those are the most appropriate words to fully illustrate my colors.
Frankly speaking, who I am, how to express myself better, this is still a question mark. Today Im doing creative work, what should I do tomorrow? What should I do in the future? I still dont know. Putting in the greatest efforts during my work, compared to thinking about what will be in the future, why not spend more effort to do a good job at this moment, now this is the only way. A day without an itinerary, its like hibernating animals entering into winter sleeping at home, watching movies.
Recently watched the movie adapted from Tsutsui Yasutaka's original novel, starring Rissa Naka [The Girl Who Leapt through Time] a cartoon movie. The description of the story is about the main actress wanting to fulfill what she was unable to in the past, and she goes back to the past in order to complete her wish. The kind of movie that will let everyone feel it is very interesting, but why am I sad? Its just a novel about something that cannot be reached and events that happened in the past.
When watching movies, [knowing that things that happened in the past can no longer be restored, but why are people around us are still making these mistakes? Arent they doing things they will regret later? Would this happiness not cause trouble to the people around you? ...] Looking back is a beginning. But if I can go back to the past, I want to return back as the 20-year-old Jang Keun Suk. Although not perfect, but still full of confidence, with no fear, wanting to achieve a lot of dreams in this era.
I felt that I had the most freedom and happiest moments during that time. As for now, I think I must have some change, and Im putting in efforts to change. Listening to others opinions, and waiting I can be relaxed and happy too, also have felt very leisurely and calm!
2) Friends ---What are friends to me? Someone that I can rely on strongly, spend valuable time with and share my past. My longest friend is 広壯(クァンジャン) we met in high school, a 10-year friendship. I started entertainment business in my childhood, and was not able to go to school frequently, therefore I dont have many friends.
We spent a very short time together, not many memories, is there anything valuable that can be shared? Basically no, even doing simple things like making friends is something I cannot do. After meeting that time, I felt that it was something important, a very comfortable friend. Having a dinner gathering at home, we will racket over the food, chat, play pranks ... meeting up after such a long time, theres nothing special to say, as long as we are together it becomes a very pleasant mood.
Of course, everyone dreams, ideas and concerns are different, but the memories during my childhood spent with warm hearted people, are still vague and sweet.
3) People --- If talking about a mentor in life, I think its my mother. Besides a mother and son relationship, it is also the President of the company and the company's Artist, the existence of such a special relationship. My mother is different from other mothers, it should be said thats the history of women. During difficult times, rather than giving me comfort, instead she will let me find my own way to stand up, she is someone that is very strict.
Although there will be times that I will feel extremely lonely, but precisely because of my mother, that made the current me, isnt this also true. In acting, Leonardo DiCaprio is my role model. He is an artist that is handsome and excellent in acting. It feels like he's wanting to excel more than he can. I wanted to be that kind of artist too.
A few days ago in the KBS 2TV talk show [Do Dream!] I listened to the lectures of Senior Park Shin Yang, and learned that he is currently having a comprehensive self-management course. I wanted to learn as well. In work, I want it to be complete and perfect, getting along with people without having to conceal myself, no need to be smart, not forcing a smile, time to be strict, I will be strict, time to be happy, I will be happy.
4) Style --- Is it fashion? I like to wear suits more, like to wear different styles from other people, didnt you realize that. The first consideration in choice of clothing, is the comfort of wearing it. For me, those colors that people usually wouldnt choose are yellow, red, and original colors (red, yellow, blue), as long as its my style, I will not hesitate to buy it.
Although I like a comfortable style, but usually on the road if I find cute clothes I will buy it too. I dont have any stores that I often patronize. As long as I want it, if its cute then regardless of what the store is I will still buy it. If I have the time, then I will walk around to buy some small decorations. The mixture of colors is a kind of technique/style, that is what we often call "Color assortment"
Of course, the details are very important, like watches and shoes, the color of the scarf and shoes should fit the styling. Of course, there are bad situations. That is, when it would be too much trouble to try on the clothing. There are the times that I would buy without trying it on, and then the size will not fit. These are the examples of failures that I often encounter in shopping.
5) Travel ---- When Im not feeling good, I will go for a spin around town. Taking a ride through the inner loop route to Bukak might be a good choice for taking a short break. Taking a walk around Gangbuk is good too. Gangbuk compared to Gangnam is less bustling. Suddenly I dont want to camouflage, walking around I will be very happy.
Although its not as hustle and bustle like Gangnam, only with those buildings that have taken very long to build around the streets, I feel very calm. In every month, I would take a few days to stroll around a little. Around Hyojadong is also a good place. Over there, you can find a very old market. The neighborhood also has a very interesting wall.
Slightly tilted wire rod is also very interesting, a gallery, when Im feeling confused I will walk around. Unknowingly my heart becomes very calm, it's very fantastic. If given a chance, I want to travel to India. Some say its good, some say it is not, so these are very two different responses.
For people who really understand me they would say, if I go to India perhaps I would not want to come back. I will be taking a dip in the Ganges for one full day and I wouldnt want to come out (laughs). If I go to India, then I want it to be my lifetime travel memories. I will put away all my portable computers and electronic equipment, only bringing back memories that are kept down deep in my mind. If I will to go India, I want to do that.
6) JOB ---- Till now of the works that I have starred in, the one which I love the most is [You're Beautiful]. I want to play the role of "Tazza The High Rollers" where Senior Cho Seung Woo interpreted the role of "コニ" and Senior Won Bin interpreted the role "ト ジ ュ ン" in "Mother". In terms of performances, the eyes of terror, atmosphere and charm, its a unique role.
Its the type of role I want to give a try. I want to be an actor that everyone can trust. Because of that, I'm not taking any rest and I am selecting works, until I can get everyone's recognition as an actor, I hope everyone can see the efforts I put in.
The graduation work I used 5 minutes to plan the making of the film. Jang Keun Suk is the topic everyone's talking about, watching the movies which I produced by myself. It was about people liking me, this is my story, doing the things that I wanted. Although the shooting is in Myeongdong, but the process of it was very happy!
Getting peoples attention and to understand peoples love, its a job that I enjoy more than anything. [My life is very happy, really enjoying this job] I re-experience this feeling again.
7) Favorite ---- Im fascinated with myself. After the age of 26, my thoughts started to change. Therefore, when I look back I realized that I had already invested too much time. I liked being together with other people, whether its friends or people I happened to meet. I especially like to entertain people at home, cook delicious dishes, chatting together, playing together, I like that feeling.
Until a few years back, I would make breakfast for the staff of the company. Its not that the food doesnt taste good, I will also make breakfast for Firm staff that came back in dawn after playing. Watching the kids eating the food that's delicious, feeling very happy and fortunate like a mother(laughs).
Japanese is self-learned. Started from when I was very young, thinking of going to Japan was a very vague dream. But at the age of 20, I achieved that plan. For those people who like to discuss, they would think that it took a fraction of effort to make it into the Japananese market, but its not true. I invested a very long time before all my dreams were fulfilled one by one.
For people that knew me from the start they would say [Just like you said, you really did it]. This year personally, I want to have time to look back at myself. If I have the time, I really want to go to India and have a look around. Learn cooking, I want to learn more foreign languages. Also I want to get more recognition at work as an actor, that can be trusted with everything, if compared to [smooth sailing] image, I would rather have the [perfect] image of a high degree of trust and affirmation.
