Kim Jaejoong “I wanted to break free from my heavy image”
# The charm of acting? Finding the answers one by one.
Compared with the two dramas ‹Protect the Boss› and ‹Dr. Jin›, the result of this movie fell short of expectations. Nevertheless, it broke with precedent and he showed enthusiasm in the interviews. Even though the movie was already released, the media is still looking to engage with him.
“As an actor, it’s meaningful to me because it was an opportunity to show a different kind of acting. I also considered other movies but the characters in this movie appealed to me.”
“When I played Kim Kyungtak in ‹Dr. Jin›, the burden was big because after ‹Protect the Boss›, Kim Kyungtak was also a heavy role. I tried hard to avoid comments such as ‘Here he acts like that again’. It was good that Choi Hyun wasn’t a serious character. I don’t even know how long it’s been since I was able to show a bright and playful image.”
As a member of idol group TVXQ and then JYJ, he maintains top position in Asia. However, positioning himself as ‘actor Kim Jaejoong’ is different. Unlike many singer-origin stars who debut in acting with a title role, he did not rush and received good and favorable evaluation for his clever choices.
“Surely large amounts of screen time and high ratings are great. However if I want to take on a long path as an actor, I think my choices weren’t bad. Kim Kyungtak in ‹Dr. Jin› wasn’t an easy decision but it has become an important stepping stone for me. Instead of a main role in a blockbuster, finding the unknown answers one by one is indeed the true charm of acting to me.”
# “I always look for a medium in which to communicate with fans”
After 3 years and 4 months, the dispute with former agency over the exclusive contract has ended. Although he has finally found his freedom, it’s hard to expect immediate changes. Managing to follow the path he has been walking until now, he can’t do anything other than wait for a change in activity environment.
“I always look for a medium in which to communicate with fans. I don’t want them to only remember and support an image of mine that they have seen in the meantime. Therefore, we appeared in movie and dramas, held fan-meetings abroad, released albums, held world tour. Although I can comfort myself that I am still young and have much time, it’s so unfortunate that we can’t appear on TV. It’s like we lost the biggest weapon.”
“I think the fans that support us are more depressed [than us] as we don’t have much activity,” Kim Jaejoong revealed the reason why they keep working without break. Three members already made a significant number of songs; JYJ will release an album next year and meet with fans around the world again. “There will be Korean songs as well as English songs. The possibility of collaboration with international artists is also opening up.”
“There are many things I want to try besides movie-drama-singing. I want to direct concerts, work on music for other singers and also star in plays and musicals. If I put my mind to it, I have confidence that I can get a certificate in Korean cuisine in just 2 weeks. Also, I can do very well if I can appear on variety shows. Ha ha.”

How does Seungri respond to a confession?
Q: Now for this spot I would like completely change and to touch upon V.I.’s love stories.
Yes, go right ahead!
Q: If you’re ever received a confession from someone you like, how did it go?
Q: Yes, exactly. “I, like you V.I….”
Q: (laughs) With that light feeling?
Q: Huh? Even to someone you like?
Q: Why would you do that?
Q: Ohhhhh!“
Q: It’s like I’m seeing a different person, the awesome manly side to the funny comedian V.I. I’ve seen up until now.
Q: And when you miss?
Q: Clearly a comedian remark.
Q: But the earlier reverse confession, beyond a doubt this is the musician V.I. that has traveled the world, women all over are falling in love.
Q: Possibly now, did you channel Top?
Q: Certainly. I guess it’s hard to even imagine a confession situation (laughs)
Q: I apologize. You’re complaining about my question (strained laugh)
Q: Are you a carnivore man so to speak?
Q: What a domineering husband!
Q: By the way, the type of girls V.I. likes, what type are they?
Q: Is it because you are always the one that energizes others, you want the person you like to energize you?
Q: So, If you were to go on a date with this person you like, where would you go, what would you do?
Q: If you eat curry, you’d be sweating again. (laughs)
Q: That’s refreshing. But, for a girl that doesn’t like working out, it’d be quite hard for her to run with V.I. who is always working out.
Q: That’s nice. When you’re walking doesn’t it have that feeling of following you!
Q: Certainly.
Q: I see!
Q: Scolding is the punchline (laughs)
Q: A haha~ But a health date is good! Making a link between dates and working out (laughs)
(Instantly answered) Dresses. For me, trousers are a no-go.
Q: Okay~. but there are many types of dresses.
The type that flutter in the wind (starts moving his hand to demonstrate)
Q: (laughs) so you like mini skirts.
Nah, mini-skirts or long skirts are okay. yeah~, How should I put this~( thinking for a bit) It came to me! Light airy skirts are what I like!
Q: Like lace? And, what color? white?
No, white is dangerous.
Q: What? dangerous?
What if when we’re together on a date wine spills on your clothes or something like that, you never know when that kind of situation can happen right?
Q: You’re right.. Stains do stand out the most on white.
That’s why I’m alright with any color other than white.
Q: So, all of V.I.’s fans, you have to wear a skirt in a color other than white when you go to concerts.
That or you can wear a dress please (laughs)
Q: Thats the requirement! By the way, What kind of clothes would you wear yourself on a date?
Well first I’d call her~ (pretending to be on the phone) “Brrrinnngg~ Um, how are you dressing today?” “Why~?” “Because I want to match!” (playing both parts)
Q: Oh!! Again you’re amazing!!
I would like to dress so that someone looking will know we’re a couple.
Q: So, what about a pair look (matching couple clothes)?
uhhh….
Q: Like a Panda-themed pair look?
Absolutely not! If we were to wear panda clothes, wouldn’t it just turn into two of me (laughs) ~Ahaha
I don’t hate it, but I could never do it I guess. (Laughs) If I were to do it, it would be in a more stylish way.
Q: Could you give me an idea?
Let’s say my date is wearing a black dress, I could wear a chic shirt or suit. If her clothes had a more bright casual feeling, I could wear a t shirt and jeans or some sort of active wear.
Q: So you both coordinate.
That way is fun right?
Q: Of course. You’ll have a sense of unity.
After, at her house “(looking at dates clothes) Today you’ll wear this” as I’m looking over her closet, I can quickly coordinate.
Q: Like a stylist (laughs)
When both our outfits come together, even just walking together it’ll be nice when we both think that “We suit each other~”
Q: By the way, when you go on the running date, will you have matching sportswear?
Nah~At that point its good that we don’t match.(laughs) But if she said she wanted to match,we could coordinate jerseys.
Q: Those last bits are certainly coming from your experiences in a group right?
For the five of us in Big Bang, the fashion style we each like is very different. It’s not that its just different, I feel we balance each other well as well. That’s what makes us Big Bang, one of Big Bang’s good points. Our MV image match our styles, for example, when its GD it’s these types of clothes, if its T.O.P he has that sort of feeling to him, having a similar concept that is based on your individual style, in the end the source is in fact the same.
Q: If it misses the mark, I guess it can’t be helped.
All the more reason to spend more time together!
Q: I look forward to seeing all of your different outfits on the Dome Tour!!
Please look forward to it! I also am looking forward to seeing the fashion of our fans! We have a lot of fashionable fans!
Q: So, V.I. fans,
If you can, wear a dress!! Not a white one (laughs)

Song JiHyo: “Kim Jaejoong, a friend that I’m thankful for, a stimulus for me”
# Kim Jaejoong, and also JYJ
“It always takes me long time to get acquainted with my co-stars. Even if I try hard, it still takes me a long time to open myself up to someone. It’s my weak point. But this was not the case with Jaejoong, which was a big advantage for me. It was great that I didn’t feel any burden towards him as we were acting together. However, the downside is that because we’re too close to each other, I couldn’t take on an objective view of Jaejoong. Just by looking, I can tell that he indeed worked very hard, did very well and I just find it admirable.”
Song Jihyo didn’t have a love line with such lovely little brother Kim Jaejoong, which is somehow regrettable. “Many people looked at the movie poster and were looking forward to the love line between me and Jaejoong. Actually, one of the reasons for me to choose this movie was that I wouldn’t have love line with him. If, instead, I were to have a love line with someone I didn’t know, then I would be able to fully concentrate. But if I had a love line with Jaejoong, I would feel uneasy. He’s one of my lovely younger brothers. If I had love line with that younger brother, it would be so embarrassing that we wouldn’t be able to face each other. Therefore, rather than regret, I think it’s a relief.”
Song Jihyo revealed that acting with Kim Jaejoong has inspired her.
“I don’t know if Jaejoong has more practical experience than me but his sense of realism, ad-lib and flexibility are very remarkable. Although this is his first movie, I was indeed the one who was inspired. When I acted with the seniors, I had to follow the scenario. But when I worked with Jaejoong, there were many witty surprises; the ad-libs were good and we made many NGs too. Many scenes came out better thanks to Jaejoong. To the point that director-nim didn’t make the ‘cut’ sign in the scenes with Jaejoong. He said that he was curious about what Jaejoong would do.”
“This is Jaejoong’s first movie. Since he tried very hard and gave his all, I think instead of just praising him, I should give him a round of applause. A Kim Jaejoong who stayed strong under any circumstance and perfectly digested his role should be praised. I hope that many people won’t see Jaejoong as Jaejoong but as the character he plays.”
Come to think of it, the bond between Song Jihyo and JYJ’s members is deep. She appeared in a music video with Kim Junsu and has close relationship with Park Yoochun.
“People usually say ‘God is fair’. But I don’t think so when I look at Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu. If you look at Jaejoong or Yoochun, they can compose songs, write lyrics and can act well too. I went to watch Junsu’s musical. He was so good. Those guys have great abilities that can amaze people.”
“One of the reasons that I was able to freely get close to my brothers JYJ was that many of their fans kindly welcomed me. I think they feel like I will protect my little brothers. They even came to my fan-sign event and said ‘Please take care of oppa’. I’m thankful that they support me a lot. Thanks to JYJ’s fans, we’re able to be close like sister and brothers.”

'26 Years' Im Seulong, "Presidential election? If only a lot more people in their 20s voted"
He said the first thing he grasped about the movie <26 years="years"> was the original webtoon made by Kang Full. "I enjoyed the original webtoon and the scenarios were very interesting, so I thought I have to do this."
But there have been a lot of rumors going on saying that the movie's plotline has changed a lot from the original one. There were especially a lot of opinions saying that Im Seulong's character, Jung Hyeok, would be a failure. But even so, this man who has always been meticulous with details said he had already knew about this.
"Although to the viewers there may be a lot of disappointing points, I'm fine with it. Nevertheless, the movie's plotline was based on the original webtoon, so Jung Hyeok was still an emotionally unstable psycho. So I had to shoot every scene twice. One for the unstable and aggressive part of me, and one for the less aggressive part of me, like this. And then, in order to balance it out with the overall storyline, I think for the most part, the less aggressive version of the scenes gets chosen instead."
When asked whether he doesn't have any regretful scenes while acting for this movie, he answered, "More than the feeling of regret, I'm reminded of the trials and errors."
"Actually, there was a scene where I would ask Mr. Choi Gyejang, "What will happen to me now?" as he gave me a bottle of milk and a piece of bread. The line was supposed to be said as you're filled with fear, but in real life, I thought you wouldn't even be able to say a word if you were really feeling that afraid. I thought, wouldn't it be better if it were shown through your stare or by your hesitant words, but since this was a movie and how you convey your lines were much more important, I had a lot of worries. Surely on my future movies, I'd want to show a much better side of me."
◆ "Presidential election? If only a lot more people in their 20s voted"
We've opened the topic of the presidential election to him, who has been reading newspapers as of lately. Since it's a sensitive question, we thought he'd be avoiding it, but instead he answered it full of concern and determination.
"I truly don't know who'll get chosen, I think we'll have to look out on this for a bit longer. But I know one thing for sure, we have to vote. It's no doubt that the nation has the right for democracy. And more than anything, it'd be even better if only a lot more people in their 20s voted too."
Im Seulong is really great with words. Every time I throw out a question, his answer follows by ever so smoothly. And not to mention how his answers are always straightforward and determined. Through this interview, it was found out that the "matured young man" image was created right after his debut. I thought wasn't that a bit burdensome for him.
"I did think that I had to do a better job to live up to that image, but I didn't feel burdened by it. Because I am what I am. I think the reason why many people told me that I was matured is because not many people my age would have a big ambition or were that determined in chasing their dreams. Even though I did think that I should be doing a much better job, I have not once felt burdened by it."
And I wonder what was his ambition and dreams were.
"As an actor, I want to show more variety and a matured side of me. Because until now, all the roles I've played so far are the role of a fresh young man. While as a singer, as I continue walking on the road 2AM have been walking so far, I also want to try and go as a solo singer. Without any limitation on what kind of music genre it is."
While 2AM are scheduled to greet their fans again with a new album by the end of January next year, with a heart filled desire to act, Im Seulong exclaimed, "I definitely want to film another movie during the first half of next year."
