[TRANS] 110512 Park Yoochun “My Japanese Lines Flow Smoothly Thanks To JYJ!”

Singer cum actor Park Yoochun has been giving full play to his proficiency in the Japanese language that he honed while participating in activities as a Hallyu singer.

Park Yoochun plays the role of Yutaka in MBC’s new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Ripley’, set to begin airing on the 30th, and surprised everyone by showcasing his fluency in Japanese that rivaled that of any native speaker. After confirming Park Yoochun’s Japanese skills, which went above and beyond the staff’s expectations, the script-writer increased the number of Japanese lines he has in the drama.

In his second leading role, Park Yoochun plays a successor to a resort empire who was born with a Japanese mother and raised in her homeland. Though Yutaka has a warm disposition, he is level-headed when it comes to work. In the process of expressing this personality, Park Yoochun speaks many of his lines in Japanese. Thanks to Park Yoochun’s activities in Japan as a member of JYJ, that included appearing in popular Japanese variety program and participating in verbal jests, his proficiency in the language rivals that of any native speaker.

A member of the production company stated, “Because Park Yoochun released many albums in Japan and took part in activities there for a long time, his Japanese is excellent,” and “At first, he didn’t have that many Japanese lines but once the screenwriter confirmed his proficiency, she’s been adding Japanese lines for Yutaka almost every episode.”

‘Ripley’ is a drama highly anticipated for its role as a new challenge in Park Yoochun’s acting career. Debuting as an actor through KBS 2TV’s ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’, Park Yoochun plans to showcase a mature manliness through his role in ‘Ripley’. Many are awaiting Park Yoochun’s transformation as he moves from the youth drama ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ to the melodrama ‘Ripley’.
