[News]110520 JYJ released official press release in response to KBS’s official stance on

We appreciate that KBS officially stated its stance saying that JYJ will be able to appear on Music Bank when JYJ release an official album. According to recent cases, it is inevitable that artists are in inferior positions when a broadcast company refuses appearances on TV regardless of what the reason may be.

In Feb, the court acknowledged that SM interfered in JYJ’s album release by sending official document to Warner Music, production label of JYJ, and ordered SM to pay compensation for the interference. In the view of these facts, there still are many obstacles stading in JYJ’s way to release an official album. [Translator's Note: In Oct 2010, SM sent an official document to Warner Music,asking not to distribute JYJ's worldwide album .]

But we will overcome this invisible external pressure for our fans waiting for us and release an official album. With this, we hope that we will meet the viewers via Music Bank.

And regarding the present situation, the issue is not only about JYJ’s appearance but also about the inappropriate post on a public online forum that damages JYJ’ name. Therefore we request that KBS rectify this in order to minimize misunderstanding that the post may ensue.

[TRANS] 110519 Miss Ripley Main Cast – Interviews

The press conference for MBC’s new Monday-Tuesday drama “Miss Ripley” was held at the Banyan Tree Hotel at 11am on 17 May.

At the moment, three of the broadcast stations are airing romantic comedies, and “Miss Ripley” will be the only melodrama, which brings to the audiences the greed and pretense that human beings are capable of. We meet the four main characters during this press conference. They play roles that were very different from what they have done in the past, and therefore the actors too, are excited to meet with the audiences.

Below is the Q & A session with Kim Seung Woo, Lee Da Hae, Kang Hye Jung, and Park Yoochun

(All other cast interviews have been omitted – Names have been abbreviated for the interview)



Park Yoochun reprises the role of a wealthy heir, “I really wanted to act in a true melodrama”

When you received a large number of scripts, how did you select this role?

YC: I really wanted to challenge a melodrama. I was the last one to be confirmed for this drama, and when I saw the seniors that have been confirmed, I really wanted to appear with them, so I told (Representative Baek) , “I want to participate (in this drama.)” I hope to hear things like “His acting has improved since his first project.”

In Sungkyunkwan Scandal you were playing a “perfect” role, and this time it is also the role of a “perfect” heir to a conglomerate, are there any similarities between them and your actual character?

YC: In actual fact, I prefer simplicity. I avoid going to expensive restaurants, unless there is a special occasion, otherwise I wouldn’t usually go. I usually go once a year with my mother. I don’t really like these things…..Yutaka is similar to me in this way.

Are there any similarities between you and this role?

YC: Yutaka’s first scene in the drama is the scene where he returns to the country. He will present himself on screen in a friendly and polite matter. When he has some spare time, or when he is naturally polite, you can see the environment where he grew up in. However, this is not to say that he has no troubles, but it is due to a painful incident in his past, that makes him what he is now. This is my favourite part (of the role) and I hope that I can express this part (of him) well.

Due to your previous project, you managed to gain a lot of older female fans.
Do you think this will be the case this time?

YC: Compared to other issues in this drama, I want to commit to the acting. I will be working on this project with a learning mindset. Compared to my debut work, the responsibility has become greater. This is something I’m very concerned with. I am not “switching to acting because my singing activities have been restricted,” and I am really serious about acting as a profession. I started out as a singer, but once I start acting, I hope to do a good job of it.

By the later episodes of “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” we could see that you had been overstretched. How do you intend to manage your physical condition this time?

YC: There is no way of managing it. I really have no time to concern myself with my physical condition. Once I immerse myself in a project, I concentrate all my energies on it, and even though it can be tiring, or exhausting, but I still find it interesting. Even if I don’t get enough sleep, I’m still really happy.

We understand that you have to use a lot of Japanese in this role. Were there any difficulties?

YC: Speaking Japanese is not difficult, however when speaking in another language, the tone changes. When speaking in Japanese, Park Yoochun’s tone of voice appears, instead of Yutaka’s . Therefore, I am very cautious about this, and I’m working on it.

The 4 main casts’ “Worst Lie Ever Told In Their Lives”

SW : Saying that “I’m not interested in popularity.” When I was younger, I said many similar things, but as an actor, ultimately, it is always about the love for acting. I think many actors think the same way.

DH: Little slips of paper for cheating. When I was studying in Australia, I secretly cheated using little slips of paper. Because there is a lot more freedom in Australia compared to Korea, and even though we cheated together, we scored zero marks, and from then on I decided never to make those little slips again. When I was cheating, I felt like my heart was going to fall out onto the floor.

HJ: The lie that I most often tell is when people ask me “Have you eaten?” and I reply “Yes~” I always feel like if I say that “I haven’t eaten,” there will be many issues that arise, so for convenience sake, I would lie and say that I have eaten.

YC: I often say such lies as well.

The 4 main casts’ “Ripley’s Viewership Ratings”

SW: Saying that “I’m not interested in ratings” would be a lie too! I’m really interested. My first goal is to top the viewership ratings, among the terrestrial broadcast channels’ and their competing works. For the first episode, I hope to get a double digit rating.

DH: Even if we start off as no. 1, I hope that we won’t end up as no. 2! I hope that the viewership ratings will keep rising.

HJ: I hope that we can get double digit ratings right from the first episode.

YC: I would just like it if we never dipped below a percentage once we hit it.”

MBC’s new Monday-Tuesday Drama “Miss Ripley” (Screenplay: Kim Sun Young, Director: Choi Yee Seob) is a story about a woman who happens to tell a lie, which leads to a string of lies which eventually leads to destruction. It will be aired on 30 May, after “The Duo.

[TRANS] 110518 Park Yoochun : “Wealthy Man” Image? Actually I live a really simple life…

Actor Park Yoochun (26), who has been playing “wealthy man” roles ever since he started acting is actually the opposite, and actually enjoys a simple life.

In the drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” Park Yoochun played the role of Lee Seon Joon, a high-ranking official’s son, and in his upcoming project “Miss Ripley,” he will act as the role of heir to local top-class resorts, the character Yutaka, with his decisive abilities and drive, lighting up the screens once again as the perfect man with leadership qualities.

Park Yoochun, who started out as a singer had already caught the attention of many with his “luxurious” image. In addition to this, the roles that he has played in dramas after becoming an actor have both been characters from a wealthy background, born with a silver spoon in their mouths, reinforcing his image as a “wealthy man.”

With regards to this, Park Yoochun said, “Unlike the characters that I play in the dramas, I am actually a very simple man. I don’t really like going to expensive restaurants, and I wouldn’t go there unless there was a special reason. I go once every two years, when my mother wants to go.”

(Omitted)

For this project, Park Yoochun does not need to worry about criticism about his acting skills, and as long as the viewership ratings are satisfactory, he will be able to establish a firm position on the small screens.

In his previous work, “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” not only did his role as Lee Seon Joon, together with Park Min Young, Yu Ah In and Song Joong Ki create a “Jjalgeum Quartet” fever, but during the “2010 KBS Drama Awards,” he also managed to win three awards including the Best Newcomer Award, gaining recognition for his acting.

To this, Park Yoochun said, “However, I still feel a lot of pressure, so it was not easy to pick my next project. This is because there were too many people giving me high appraisals for my previous project.” Also, “From a learning viewpoint, every time I do something, there are many concerns such as ‘How much can I learn.’ After deciding on this project, I have been constantly worried about whether I can do a good job.”

Following that, he said, “But once I started shooting, the seniors took good care of me, so the acting turned out smoother than expected. When I think about the fact that other actors would have concerns about picking their next role, I feel a little better inside,” speaking candidly about his feelings.

Also, with regards to this role, “Everyone may feel like the character I play feels like the role of a “hidden prince.” Personally, I too, feel that this character has a lot of charm, but is not one-dimensional. I’m constantly communicating with the director about how to express the role, and always thinking. Actually, they are just little details, but I wish to use facial expressions and looks, together with the communication of the lines to eliminate the impression being one-dimensional,” he said, showing his deep consideration.

Moreover, “In the drama, the way Song Yoo Hyun expresses his pain is different from Lee Seon Joon in “Sungkyunkwan Scandal.” He is a character who faces people with a smile on his face first. Although both roles are that of a “wealthy” son, but his cheerful image is the main difference,” he added, creating more anticipation for this different sort of charm.

When acting in his previous drama “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” the later part of the filming process overlapped with the dates for JYJ’s Worldwide Showcase, and because of this, Park Yoochun had to endure an intense filming schedule. This time, the shooting schedule runs simultaneously with JYJ’s America Concert Tour, and (he) is unable to escape from this busy lifestyle.

Truthfully, the first episode airs on 30 May, and filming is already underway, and the group JYJ will be kicking off their America Tour Concert Tour on 20 May.

Park Yoochun said, “The schedule was is really tight, and there is no time to manage my personal health issues. I’m busy studying the script and can’t be thinking of other matters. But because I’m concentrating on things that I want to do, so I don’t find it tough. Even though shooting has led to a lack of sleep, but it’s still very interesting,” showing his passion for acting.

Park Yoochun plays the role of a Japanese in the drama, and needs to speak more Japanese than others. Due to the long period of time spent doing activities in Japan, his Japanese speaking skills have reached that of a native speaker’s standard, and the production crew has complete faith in him.

Park Yoochun said, “Speaking Japanese itself is not difficult. However, when speaking Japanese, my actual tone of voice shows, so I was worried. I haven’t used Japanese in my acting, and the most difficult part of it is the difference in tone.”

Also, “Miss Ripley” is a drama based on the case of the forged resume that rocked the country, the “Shin Jeon Ah incident”, and the title “Ripley” signifies a woman who decides on her own fate. In the drama, Park Yoochun will be showing the side of a romantic man, who is willing to risk everything to stand by the side of the woman he loves, Jang Miri (played by Lee Da Hae)
