Q. One can see the dramatic change in your acting skill in “Beethoven Virus”. The best actor Kim Myung-min also displayed fantastic acting skill…
To present the changes, I cut my hair short. This drama is like a textbook to me. Especially meeting senior Kim Myung-min and understanding that there really is such a serious actor who puts in so much preparatory effort. Even during breaks, he kept on analysing the script and making serious preparation. Others think that the acting is already perfect, but he will still demand more of himself. I’m opposite of senior Kim. I would chat to relieve nervousness, so we did not become close. But as a junior, I cannot guarantee that I won’t be cajoling, so this point is quite troubling to others.
Q. It’s true to say that “You are Beautiful” is especially tailored for you, which showcased your acting skill. How do you review this drama?
A drama that I was completely satisfied with when I first received the script. And also a drama that is closest to my age thus far. I was the eldest in this drama and as a leader, needed to lead this drama. Fortunately, this drama also achieved success and gained much popularity in Asia. The performers more or less belong to the Hallyu stream. Used to meet often in the past, but now we are all busy and don’t even see one another. [laughs]
Q. You all get along well as you’re peers. Doesn’t the audience know that too?
During the filming process, there practically was no unhappy time. Everything was proceeding happily. We got on well together, and would also do something spontaneously according to our strengths. If I can look back, I want to return to that time.
Q. “Marry me Mary” received favourable reviews but is still a work with some regrets. But Keunsuk-san and Geunyoung-san’s performance is already the best drama.
My collaboration with Moon Geun-young became a topic, but problems would always crop up during filming. The reason why I could persevere on with this drama till the last is, I really like the character Kang Mu-gyul, because he lives the life of an independent band’s lead singer which I yearn for. He lives alone, always together with music, he can sing on the street, he can meet many people without any inhibitions. When acting this character, I had the satisfaction of being this person, he captures my heart.
Q. The drama “Love Rain” that you’re filming now with Yoona of Girls Generation has received much attention locally and overseas. Please introduce this to us.
There are altogether 20 episodes, 5 about a love story in the past and 15 episodes are contemporary. Now we have completed half of the past. Although it’s my first time working with Yoona, we have chatted much and it seems that our relationship can become good. [laughs] She is also looking forward eagerly to this drama. I think I have chosen a good drama. When it airs in Japan, hope that the audience can give it more support.
Q. Heard that you’re preparing a new album recently. Can you reveal more?
Song selection was completed 2 months ago. Received 30 songs and picked 10, all songs that I like. I worked with staff that I have worked with for my previous album. It should be a very satisfactory album? I’m looking forward to it.
Q. Heard that you released a single in China too. What kind of single is it?
It’s a Team H single. I directed the MV myself. The plans were confirmed, what is left is just to proceed with filming.
Q. What are you interested in recently?
Sports car has always been my greatest interest. There is a Ferrari car shop in front of my house, so I always go and browse at the shop. And I keep thinking, should I buy it? I’m seriously hesitating about it and there were several times, I thought carefully about whether this is something I need … This is not something that I can get just because I like it, but even if I just take a look, I’ll be satisfied.
Q. Any movies that you watched recently? And one more thing, as an actor, if you receive a historical script, please let me know.
