[Interview][Part 1]JKS in CRI-J 'a new world'

Hello pretty EEL's


Actor Jang Keun Suk is an experienced actor, this year being his 20th debut anniversary. As someone in his mid-20s, he has lived 20 years of his life as an actor. Just this point alone is staggering. During this period, he had gone through gruelling test, met admirable senior actors and had experienced the tumultuous changes of an actor’s life. Even though he is still very young, in his list of works, the most appropriate term of address is “actor Jang Keun Suk”. And he has now transcended to a higher level. With his trademark confidence and thinking philosophy, his never-ending self contradictions, he is progressing towards a new world. Not only in his imagination but having realized his dream in reality, actor Jang Keun Suk is emitting a dazzling aura.
Q. Felt that you were very happy attending the Busan International Film Festival. What’s your feelings since it’s your first time attending?
After participating in it, I’m deeply taken with the city of Busan and the theme of the Film Festival. I even hope that the Festival lasts 6 months in a year! It’s really happiness to spend time with people who love movies. There are many things to see, many respected seniors, actors and directors came, and I also went to unexpected places. In brief, because of Busan International Film Festival, Busan is, to me, a place that can be called the “Heaven for curiosity”.
Q. Heard that you were chatting happily with Rain, Go Soo, Song Hye Kyo and Kim Sun A at a food stall. Just being with these people makes one feel what a film festival is.
Looks like you’re very curious what we talk about at an actors’ gathering. Actually, we’re interested in more or less similar things, of course we also chatted about some movie topics, major world events, places of travel. What we chatted about most is which restaurant is better. Being in the same showbiz circle, we’ve experienced the sense of loneliness at work, so there are many areas that strike the same chords, perhaps it’s due to a sense of being colleagues? … I think this is it.
Q. In this Film Festival, the fact that Keunsuk-san can become the news is probably because you didn’t follow a prepared schedule but appeared at different places and created topics, isn’t it? Think that actors like you in Korea are rare.
I don’t really like to organise my activities according to a fixed schedule, it’s not interesting. It’s best to go play at the beach, join parties held by people who came to the Festival, or play the whole night at clubs! A day seemed to become longer. I really had a very happy time.
Q. You’ve also met quite a few world stars. How do you feel at seeing them?
On the contrary, they think I’m miraculous and look at me in a surprised light. Maybe because I’m very noisy right from my entrance, which may make people think “why is there an actor like this…”? [laughs] My actions and appearance are contradictory, I’m very forthright. Precisely because I’m an actor, I don’t need to abide by prescribed rules in making greetings, so I am willing to extend my hand first, and make the other party feel a sense of closeness.
