[TRANS] 100830 Daum’s Interview With SungKyunKwan Scandal’s Main Characters

“SungKyunKwan Scandal, a Historical Youth Drama set in a Joseon Dynasty Campus”
“First airing at 9:55 pm on August 30th, 2010″

How are stars yozm (*refer to T/N below)? Daum yozm chose 30 questions from netizens to ask the main characters of ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ in an interview~
Yoochun, Joong Ki, Ah In, Min Young~ All looked so good wearing hanbok~^^

There are a lot of questions~ so the interview is a little long… but please read it till the end, okay?



Q. If you were reborn and something that only seems to occur in novels happens to you, what kind of love would you choose?? And your resolutions for the drama.

A. I believe that if two people heal each others scars and feel as though their love is one that could be called fate, then that love will come true no matter what obstacles are thrown their way.
So many people are working hard to make a great drama, and I hope it becomes a well made drama that you want to keep around for a long time and that you want to recommend to others.
That is also the dream of every actor and staff on this team.

Q. hehe While you were filming the drama, who made you think “Ah!! This person fits perfectly with his/her character!~!!!”?

A. It’s amazing but we think everyone fits perfectly with their characters in this drama, so much that it makes you think that the actors are the actual characters from the novel. A lot of us find similarities in personalities and habits with our characters as we go along. I feel as though viewers will be able to feel as though the characters are really alive… which gives this drama another reason to be anticipated.

Q. What were your first impressions of each other?? >0<

A. We felt really comfortable with each other. We’re all around the same age and we all don’t feel shy when meeting people for the first time, so it was like meeting people in a college club.

Q. What did you do in order to fall 100% into your character?

A. The first thing I did was to try to understand Seon Joon. Because he is a character who has manners embedded in his body, I started with the small thing like waiting until my parents began eating before I began with my own meal. (Yoochun)



Q1. You also acted in Japan, so is there a difference between acting in Korean and Japan? Also, I’d like to know if you want to focus on acting or singing from now on.

A. Since acting was something I hadn’t done before, everything was hard and I took cautious steps. Because I always worried about and thought over my decision to act.. But I want to do my best at anything that is given to me like I do when I perform as a singer. So as SungKyunKwan Scandal is what has been given to me, I want to focus on that for now and do my best.

Q2. What is exercising to Park Yoochun? Is it a relationship like that between water and oil?

A. It’s not that I don’t like exercising, it’s that I’m trying to maintain a body that matches my face(?). Haha.

Q3. Yoochun oppa~ This is the first time you’re acting in Korea, so do you have your own special know-how that you used as you trained for this drama?

A. I received training for pronunciation and vocalization, so I wouldn’t say that it’s my own know-how. I found that there’s a big difference between practicing and actually standing in front of the camera. I ask a lot of questions to the director, our seniors and my fellow actors and work hard to correct any mistakes they point out. Also, when I monitor my work, I ask others if it was okay and what I can do to make it better.. This and that. I’m learning things bit by bit as I go along.

Q4. Micky Yoochun! What made you think ‘Ah! Garang (*refer to T/N below)! This is his charm’ as you acted as Lee Seon Joon? Also, are there any similarities between you two and is there anything you want to learn from him?

A. A persevering man who sticks to his thoughts and morals no matter what others say! Seon Joon is a kid who has always had good morals and values. I think he’s a charming character you don’t see often these days. One of the reasons why Seon Joon is such a rule-follower is because of his father.. I could relate to Seon Joon because he feels pressured by his surrounding environment. That pressure is something I’ve also felt while working. But I’m not talking about the pressure of being a star, I’m talking about feeling like I’m losing myself and becoming something different from what I had imagined. I feel as though acting is slowly lifting that pressure from my shoulders.

Watch it live on “KBS”, watch the online reruns on “daum”

Q5. Yoochun oppa, you had to say “Nuge” in your Japanese drama. How do you feel after saying “Take off your clothes” in your Korean drama?

A. Ahaha. I feel embarrassed. Though it’s a line I say because I think that Yoon Hee is a guy. It still made me feel embarrassed..

T/N: ‘yozm’ sounds like ‘요즘’ which means “These days” in Korean
‘Garang’ refers to a bachelor who ‘has it all’: looks, family background, intelligence etc.
