[Interview] Kim Bum Part 2 : “My True Personality Is Similar to Jin Sung’s”.

In part 1 of Kim Bum’s interview with My Daily, he spoke a lot about the scenes and cast members of the recently and successfully ended drama, “That Winter the Wind Blows” (henceforth, “That Winter”). Here in part 2, Kim Bum shares that his actual personality is quite close to that of Jin Sung’s during the drama.

He said, “I actually think male friendship and loyalty is very important. I do have a masculine side and I’m very straight-forward so sometimes, it even causes misunderstandings.”

Kim Bum is actually a very loyal person. All of the staff members of his agency were people that he went through many hardships together. He said, “My agency CEO is like my Oh Soo in real life. My agency was set up by myself and my CEO hyung. When we first started, we didn’t even have an office so we opened in my CEO’s studio apartment. I didn’t even have a manager so my CEO hyung and I went to the broadcast stations together. When I wasn’t working, the staff couldn’t get paid. But I’m so grateful because they all helped me and said, ‘Pay me later.’ Those people are the people who do my hair and pick out my clothes right now. I’m so thankful to them and they’re so precious to me so I want to protect them.”

It seems like Kim Bum matured and grew into a man during his hardships. Not only did his inner appearance change but his outer appearance as well. His features got a bit sharper than his “High Kick” days or “Boys Over Flowers” days. It turns out, he lost about 13kg (28.6lbs).

“Since I was young, I worked out a lot. I lost a lot of weight especially during ‘Padam Padam.’ At that time, I worked out seven days a week. I worked out in the morning, came home, ate, slept, woke up during the evening and ran on the treadmill or jump-roped, came home and studied my script. My diet consisted of a banana, half a sweet potato and a cup of americano. I didn’t even drink water.”

When asked why he had to intensely lose so much weight, he answered, “I wanted to give a physical change.” He continued, “As I lost weight, my face changed a lot. In addition to acting, I wanted to give a change to my physical appearance. One of the reasons why I highly regard Hollywood actor Christian Bale is because of his ability to lose and gain weight so frequently. There were even times when he had a difference of 30kg (66lb) and I think that’s all out of his passion for his character. I know many fans who liked my soft image may think my weight loss makes me look unfamiliar and strange but I want to be stubborn about this and keep changing myself.”




Although Kim Bum used the word “stubborn,” it seems closer to call it passion. Just by looking at his filmography, Kim Bum has usually picked difficult roles. He is the type to put himself through difficult challenges and grow from there. “When I look back at the projects that I’m drawn to, they were all usually projects that challenged me. When selecting a project, rather than choosing one that I’m confident in, I’m more drawn to projects that will help me mature and learn.”

Perhaps that is the reason why Kim Bum did not choose to act out melodramatic roles that many actors his age choose. He said he is not confident to do well with those roles. “All of the characters that I had in the past depended on what color I chose to fill it in with. But when it comes to melodramatic characters, I don’t know what color to choose. I think you need to be ‘pretty’ for a melo but I don’t really know how to be ‘pretty.’”

Instead, Kim Bum wants to challenge himself with acting out characters that represent the opposite sides of the human mind. He said, “I want to be able to act out completely opposite roles. Senior Hwang Jung Min filmed ‘You Are My Destiny‘ and ‘A Sweet Life‘ with only a year in between. In ‘You Are My Destiny,’ he was an innocent, clean and pure character but in ‘A Sweet Life,’ he was cruel and evil. I also want to show diverse sides of myself like that.”

In “That Winter,” Jin Sung often made mistakes and bad judgments due to his tough and rash personality. And although Kim Bum says his true personality matches that of Jin Sung’s, this interview shows us that he is more collected, mature and adult-like. Kim Bum clearly knows how to value those around him and protect them, which makes him better than Jin Sung. Eyes will definitely be kept out on loyal guy Kim Bum’s next project.

In the recently ended and highly successful drama “That Winter the Wind Blows” (henceforth, “That Winter”), Park Jin Sung (played by Kim Bum) was a man with a twist. This is because he ended up betraying Oh Soo (played by Jo In Sung) by stabbing him. This scene left many viewers nervous since they wanted a happy ending with Oh Soo and Oh Young (played by Song Hye Gyo).

During a recent interview held by My Daily, Kim Bum chose that particular scene as his most memorable. Jin Sung couldn’t take Mr. Kim’s threats any longer and chose to stab his favorite hyung. When he did, Jin Sung didn’t know what to do.

Since this scene was solely for Jin Sung’s character twist, Kim Bum spent a lot of thought and time into it. “At first, Jin Sung was supposed to stab Oh Soo during the day at a basement parking lot instead of at night on the rooftop. But the director thought that it would be better if the scene took place at night. I thought the same way. I thought the scene would have less effect if it was during the daytime,” he explained.

Usually, it’s hard to change the script upon the actor’s request. On top of that, asking for a day to night switch means that the entire film schedule has to be changed. But in the end, the scene was changed as Kim Bum requested. “When I first asked the writer, she didn’t say, ‘OK’ but ‘I’ll take a look at it.’ Although I asked her, I knew it was impossible so I was preparing for both day time and night time scenes. But when the script was edited, the scene switched from day to night. The writer told me that she edited the scene just for Jin Sung. I was really thankful,” he said.

It seems like Kim Bum and writer Noh Hee Kyung were on the same page. “I never asked the writer why she called me again. But I did feel so much happiness while I was doing ‘Padam Padam.’ As for ‘That Winter,’ my personality, values and character all changed. I learned many lessons through this drama. I was really happy while I was filming and I think the director and writer felt that way too.”

Kim Bum also talked about his new friendships with the cast members.

“I’ve known In Sung hyung on a personal level before but I was so glad to meet him as Oh Soo and Jin Sung. My friendship with him really helped with acting out Jin Sung’s love and respect for Oh Soo. It was very helpful to have a hyung that I could rely on. Hye Gyo nuna is really so pretty that everyone who watches her on set calls her beautiful. Even though I didn’t film, I would sit and monitor her. We got to talk a lot on set and I’m so happy to have such a pretty nuna in my life.”

But Kim Bum’s most memorable cast member is none other than Jung Eun Ji, who played the role of Moon Hee Sun. He said, “At first, I was really worried.” He said that he was worried because not only is Jung Eun Ji an idol but she is a very young, rookie actress, who was embarking on a difficult Noh Hee Kyung drama.

But he said that all those worries were pointless. “I also worried that her concentration level wouldn’t be up to par but she is a lot smarter than I thought. She is passionate and diligent so there were no burdens while talking to her. All I did was to help her get more comfortable as her close oppa on set.”

Kim Bum and Jung Eun Ji’s love line was just as romantic and lovable as Jo In Sung and Song Hye Gyo’s romance. If Jo In Sung and Song Hye Gyo held a more heavy, serious emotion, Kim Bum and Jung Eun Ji’s romance brought a bit of light and playfulness into the drama.

He shared, “I thought a lot about how Jin Sung and Hee Sun can seem young and fresh. That is how I thought of the ‘blanket kiss.’” The ‘blanket kiss’ refers to the scene where Jin Sung and Hee Sun share a short kiss, then proceed to cover themselves with a blanket. This scene was created by Kim Bum himself. “A lot of times in comedy shows, the comedians would say, ‘come here’ and cover themselves with a blanket to kiss. I thought it would be a minus if Jin Sung and Hee Sun’s kiss scene was too strong. That’s why I suggested we do it that way.”

Because of their bright characters, a young and sweet kiss scene was able to be born. However, it also caused many scenes to be deleted. Many viewers expressed their disappointment in not being able to see certain scenes that were expected through still cuts. “Originally, there was supposed to be a scene where Hee Sun talks about her sister Hee Joo’s death with Oh Soo and then runs out and fiercely hugs Jin Sung. But the scene was later deleted because it didn’t fit with flow,” he revealed.

Although Kim Bum expressed a bit of disappointment in some of the deleted scenes, it seems as though his satisfaction level for “That Winter” is very high. He said, “I love everything about the whole drama. I liked the fact that different characters with different values all came together through one situation. I liked the story that came out of those clashes. I was really happy while filming. It will be a project that I’ll never forget.”

[Interview] Jang Hyuk, Lead Actor of "IRIS 2", an Epitome of Sincerity and Style.Cr. - kstar10

We have a saying here in Korea about men from Busan, the coastal city in the southern part of the country. They’re said to be quieter, can be gruff at times and rather less smooth compared to their Seoul counterparts ,but they also have a reputation for being sincere, loyal and, most importantly, manly, in the best sense of the word.

Jang Hyuk, whose real name is Jeong Yong-joon, spent most of his life in the city before he made his debut in a TV drama aged 20. Onscreen and in person, he is the epitome of style. We found that after having been in the spotlight for the past 16 years, his genuine passion for acting and quiet intensity for his work stood out more so than his much-famed chiseled good looks. He is a man with all the genuineness of a true Busan guy and the cutting-edge style of Gangnam.

TenAsia English met Jang Hyuk at a quiet café in Gangnam ahead of the Korean broadcast of “IRIS 2” in which he plays the lead.

There is currently a lot of anticipation for “IRIS 2” in Korea but many fans overseas are already talking about it with excitement. We notice it firsthand whenever we put up articles about “IRIS 2” on our TenAsia English website. Expectations are high everywhere. Tell us about your decision to star in “IRIS 2”.

Jang: “IRIS 1” was one of the first spy thrillers on Korean TV but it had a strong element of melodrama. “IRIS 2”, on the other hand, is a spy thriller above anything else. That was one of the reasons for my involvement. Also, I am fond of American TV series such as “24” and “Homeland,” and I wanted to be involved in a project that would depict Korean-style intelligence strategies and the related agency more realistically. I know that if I put my heart in whatever I do, if I’m sincere about my work, it will move people wherever they may be.

Tell us about “IRIS 2” and your character Jung Yoo-geon.

Jang: “IRIS 2” is much more realistic compared to “IRIS 1” with more details compared to “IRIS 1,” The plot will hopefully satisfy the sensibility of Korean viewers as well as that of international audiences. This one is more true-to-life.

It is set at a terrorism prevention agency called NSS, a place where different kinds of people work. So it has elements of the melodrama as well as human drama as characters interact with each other. You’ll literally be able to “smell” the characters.

My character Jung Yoo-geon, a team leader at NSS, is a man who tends to hold things in. He doesn’t like to reveal things about himself. He is a leader at work but, as you watch the drama, you’ll find out more things about him, such as the circumstance of his birth. Even when he falls in love, he’s not all that expressive. He’s a great tactician in his field, though. He’s a fascinating character.

 “People shouldn’t pigeonhole idol stars. The focus should be on their good work.”

Although there were many action scenes with computer graphics in “Volcano High” (2001), “IRIS 2” was your first time being part of realistic gun-shooting scenes. There must have been many exciting yet tough moments.

Jang: Actually, I had a ringing in my ear for a couple of weeks after shooting those scenes. I thought blanks wouldn’t make such big noises but they did. I used guns in the military but when I was doing those scenes, it was in a closed space so the noise couldn’t go anywhere else. Shooting guns wasn’t such an issue, though but team play with other actors was very important and we trained using guns as a team.

I heard that it is important for actors to work in perfect harmony when shooting action scenes. You worked with actress Lee Da-hey in “The Slave Hunter” so things must have been easier this time round.

Jang: It was my third time working with her [the first time was in 2007 in the SBS series “Robber”]. Aside from the action scenes becoming easier with familiarity, communication becomes easier with people you know well. I also place a lot of trust in her opinions on melodramas as well as action scenes. I know that what I do with her will end up being good because we communicate well each other.

We are seeing frequent participation of idol-turned-actors in TV series these days but there is quite a controversy about whether idol stars should or should not act in big-scale projects. “IRIS 2” has two idol stars in it, Lee Joon and Yoon Du-jun. What’s your opinion of idol actors?

Jang: I consider them as actors, not just idols. Just because they started out as idols, it doesn’t mean that people can pigeonhole them. What’s important is the kind of attitude they have as they act and how well they portray their characters. The focus should be on the result, not on their job descriptions. 

I’ve only worked with Yoon Du-jun so far and I’ve found him to be very hard-working. He thinks incredibly hard about his character and listens to advice from others. From what I’ve seen so far of him, I think Du-jun is a fine, young man with the right mindset.

“I know sincerity will move people, wherever they may be.”

With its idol actors, “IRIS 2” is set to have more audiences and a bigger possibility to become a Hallyu drama. You mentioned earlier a point about sincerity moving the hearts of people wherever they are. But do you think “IRIS 2” has particular elements that could be attractive to overseas audiences?

Jang: When we talk about films from abroad, we say a film is well-made when we’re drawn into the story despite it being set in such a different environment from ours. It’s all about persuasive storytelling. That’s what will draw people to a drama. Likewise, “IRIS 2” could be fun for people for the topics it deals with but if it fails to draw people into the story, there’d be no use. If there is sincerity in the drama, everyone will enjoy it no matter where they are in the world.

It seems that gritty, realistic dramas such as “Homeland” are leading the trend these days and you mentioned “IRIS 2” is also one such drama. Do you feel any pressure about getting more exposure overseas with “IRIS 2”?

Jang: When I concentrate on the visual part of a drama or movie, it’s hard to keep my internal balance. It’s not about how to express emotions or what to show, it is more like delivering the story more densely to audiences by absorbing the character precisely, showing the character and persuading people. Therefore, for me, it is more important to understand the character as best as possible and hopefully the rest will take care of itself.

I understand that you shot some scenes abroad. Tell me more about it.

Jang: Yes, we shot in Budapest, Hungary. I gradually became used to the as days went by. It was fun shooting abroad though I had to make an effort to calm myself down. You know, you get this particular feeling when you go abroad, you become more excited but my character wasn’t supposed to be that way. I tried to calm myself down because my character wasn’t supposed to be high although my real self was quite excited to be abroad.  

What was the atmosphere like in Hungary?

Jang: It was fascinating. I even picked up a few songs in advance.

You mean Hungarian music?

Jang: No, I took a few songs I wanted to listen to during my stay in Hungary. When I’m on a set, I always listen to songs which I feel match the mood of the drama or film. When I was in Budapest, I watched the film, “Gloomy Sunday” It felt quite different because it’s set in summer to autumn whereas we were there in winter. But the film helped me tremendously. I found myself focusing better after watching it. The city had a fascinating atmosphere. In the middle of shooting a scene in Budapest, we suddenly heard someone playing the music from the original soundtrack from “The Godfather”. It was a street violinist. The emotions in his music matched perfectly with those of the scene. It was a pretty amazing experience.  

[End of Part One of Interview with Actor Jang Hyuk]

[Interview] Park Si-hoo with 10asia.

[Interview] Park Si-hoo - Part. 1
Cr. - kstar10
Actors say they want to be remembered for the characters they play, not as who they are in real life. This tough yet sweet dream has been achieved by Park Si-hoo, who played Jun-seok, a guy who aroused the maternal instinct in many ladies, in the SBS drama “How to Meet a Perfect Neighbor,” a sly lawyer Seo In-woo “Prosecutor Princess” and a cutest-ever chaebol boss Goo Yong-shick in “Queen of Reversal," both of which were also on SBS. These characters would have been unimaginable without him and some pop critics have even coined the term, "Park Si-hoo’s melo."

When we met Park before the opening of his movie “Confession of Murder,” however, he was more like Yoon Sang-hyun’s character Oscar in the SBS drama “Secret Garden” than the characters he has played. He turned out to be a provokingly smart actor who was never frustrated when he was unknown and who knew exactly what makes female viewers go crazy.

* This article contains a spoiler of “Confession of Murder.”
 

 How did it feel when you saw your face on the big screen?
Park: It’s very satisfying. (laugh) My face look very sharp due to good use of lighting and it looks good on the big screen. Much better than I expected. I was worried if my facial or eyes expressions on big screen would make the audience feel awkward, since my character Lee Du-seok needs delicate acting. His smile is not bright and it`s hard to read his eyes. So I focused on creating odd looks in his eyes.
 

“I have a familiar, childish and playful personality”

 
 The character has nothing in common with your former characters in TV series.
Park: It’s because I don’t need to repeat things I have already done on TV. I wanted to try an extremely tough character, a role that touches your heart even though the character doesn’t appear in many scenes. So I chose a murderer character to show something new. I also focused on arousing curisity. I hope the audience will wonder what his real intention is. I tried hard to show his self-reflective mode. Does he want more attention or earn money? That`s what I want people to wonder about.
 

 It must have been an interesting part since he is not your regular murderer.
Park: I’ve always said I want to play a two-sided character. If the character is just a plain murderer, it would be a drastic change in my image I’ve built until now. But this one has a reversal in the last part so I thought it would be cool.
 

Although it’s your screen debut and your character is multi-faceted, it looks like you let Detective Choi [played by Jung Jae-young] take the lead from the middle of the movie.

Park: That’s what makes me feel a little sorry. I wanted to show more sides as a murderer. There was a scene where Lee Du-seok threatens someone but it was edited out. There were several reasons, but they shouldn’t have shot the scene if they were going to cut it out. (laugh)

 It sounds like you have a lot of ambition riding on the film. What did you want to achieve with your first film?

Park: I wanted to expand my range through this film, It was a great choice as a first movie and I hope to hear that I did well on the big screen. The TV producers who worked with me before said they feel sorry that the character could have been more attractive than how he seems now. But that’s not the point and the point is that work should be interesting. If the work receives positive responses, that means I did something good. I can achieve my personal goals in my next project.
 

 You underlined lines in the script of “Confession of Murder” and wrote down your thoughts carefully in KBS “Star Life Theater.” You also drew attention by depicting your previous characters in your own way. How do you interpret your characters?

Park: It’s important to have many conversations with directors and build up experiences that come after doing things one by one. It’s also essential to know what female viewers want to see. Even when it’s not an important scene, if they like it, I check it and remember it carefully.

In “Prosecutor Princess,” one kiss scene got overwhelming popularity. In the script, it only said “twinkling kiss”. I thought to myself ‘twinkling what? Kiss with twinkling eyes?” (laugh) So I came up with an idea to kiss Ma Hye-ri [played by Kim So-yeon] with a soft smile and then look at Yoon Se-joon [played by Han Jung-soo]. I thought that would exude "bad guy" charms and a bit of a playful personality. I thought it would do well but I didn’t expect such a huge response.
 

Any special know-how? (laugh)
Park: It’s hard to explain but there is a bit of a know-how, haha. I don’t do any research but there seems to be something sad in my eyes. I became a bit relaxed after building up personal experiences, and that`s also important. When I doing the MBC drama “Let’s Get Married,” I broke up with my girlfriend after three years. She asked me why I kept doing things I did with her in TV dramas. I thought it would get good responses if I show what I did for my girlfriend. In the MBC series, my character was childish and he likes to play around and that`s actually part of my real personality.
 

Actor Park Si-hoo during an interview with TenAsia. [TenAsia/ Lee Jin-hyuk]

“I haven’t done all the same bosses and chaebol successors.”


 In “How to Meet a Perfect Neighbor” [“How to Meet”] you seemed to create your character, Jun-seok, with a great level of sensitivity quite aside from your acting skills. It must have been hard to persuade viewers of the drama’s concept, that of turning a woman you love into a mistress.
 
Park: Jun-seok is a man who arouses your maternal instinct. Female audiences are fascinated with that kind of stuff so I was sure that Jun-seok would be very well-received.
 

 That could be one of the reasons why your role became bigger as the drama progressed. More people started to recognize you thanks to that role.

Park: That felt really good. I was so envious of my fellow actors who got lunchboxes from their fans visiting the studio. After “How to Meet,” I suddenly started to get visits from two to three fans. I thought ‘I have finally got to this stage.’ I appreciated it very much since it happened ten years since my debut.
 

 You could have become stuck as an actor who specializes in boss parts but you made some delicate career changes after “How to Meet.”
Park: Some people say all my parts seem the same but actually they`re all different when you look at them closely. I tried to give variety in every one of them. Seo In-woo is a bit mystery and Goo Yong-shick is comic.
 

 It seems like you created your own genre called “Park Si-hoo’s melo” by digging deep into one specialty rather than expanding your boundaries.

Park: The main characters of TV series are limited so it’s hard to make an extreme image change. Most of the male leads are Prince Charmings because they are attractive. And that’s why I took the role in the KBS drama “The Princess’ Man.” Along with its well-written script, I thought I could show various sides from an old fox bachelor early on who later turns into a burning avenger. It also appealed to younger people as I look a bit like a warrior in a comic book.

Actor Park Si-hoo during an interview with TenAsia. [TenAsia/ Lee Jin-hyuk]

Your next project is that of your specialized genre, a romantic comedy “Cheongdam-dong Alice.” What kind of man is Cha Seung-jo?
 
Park: He is a very funny guy, more so than Goo Yong-shick. (laugh) The scriptwriter gave a big emotional difference in his personality so he is really pathetic at times but when he wants to protect someone, he is like Daddy-Long-Legs. He has a mix of characters I have played before.
 

 You still exude your romantic guy charms on the small screen. What is Park Si-hoo like in real life?
Park: I’m very clumsy. I want to be calm but once I realized I called a kitchen towel as a chicken towel in “Star Life Theater,” haha. But my ex-girlfriends said those things make me cute and charming. Bad guys exist only in TV dramas.
 

You began your acting career in 1997 and took a leading role in “Glory of Family” in 2008. What made you carry on in those 10 years?
Park: I was really brave, fearless and full of confidence. I started out like a babe in the woods after someone told me in my country hometown that “you’ll do well on TV.” I agonized only for a few months before deciding to be an actor and thought everything would be alright after moving to Seoul. That lasted 10 years.

 Did you aim at an actor or a star?

Park: I dreamed of becoming a movie actor but I wanted to be successful. I`m very used to watching movies since when I was six or seven, my father took me and my brother to the movie theater a lot. But I lived deep in the countryside and I was shy of strangers so tt was not easy for me to show something to others. No one thought I could be an actor. My mother allowed me to be an actor in hope that I would gain more confidence. My father told me to go for it because he thought I would give up soon anyway. I had no talent in acting to begin with, just a lot of perseverance.

There were 100 people in the acting academy at the beginning but only five, including myself, made it to graduation. I was more confident running long-distance than sprint when I was little and I brought home a perfect attendance award every year.  I never won any other prizes.

 You first started out in the theatrical circle in Seoul.
Park: I put up posters and gave out flyers for plays. I appeared on the stage as extra from time to time. That was how I built up my experience. I kept doing bit parts even though it was sometimes just sitting behind the main guy. I kept going on like that and suddenly they gave me a lead since my looks are okay. It was based on my looks and I didn’t have many lines, anyway. (laugh) Then I got a TV commercial offer, again thanks to my looks and the agency introduced me a management company.
 

During those years, did anything happen to dent your confidence?

Park: Never. I was always fairly popular with people. (laugh) A colleague once told me, “I have no idea where you come from, but you are always well-received.” Without my self-confidence, it would have been impossible for me to do this job. For an actor or an athlete, self-confidence is the most important thing. The person is on the mound because he or she is qualified. My mom also helped with my self-esteem since I was little. Even though I`m quite clumsy, she always praised me than pick out my faults.

While some young people shoot to stardom, I built up my career little by little, getting positive responses through my work. After I became known with “Let’s Get Married” and “Which Star Are You From” on MBC, I had a period of being in a rut. I got some favorable responses with “How to Meet” and jumped up to the next level with “Glory of Family.” It was literally one step after another.

 Is that why you don’t have excessive greed?

Park: I have a big plan but it’s also fun to take it step by step. “The Princess’ Man” was popular but my other roles weren`t that bad either, haha. They weren’t big hits but got favorable responses and all the characters were well-received.

 Then what is your big picture?
Park: I’d like to achieve recognition not only in Korea but also overseas. You know, everything is global these days. My first goal is Asia. I think the Chinese market would be the first step.
 

 Do you want to go Hollywood, too? (laugh)

Park: Hollywood may be a bit hard for me because of the language, haha. But you know, I can start with a role with no lines. I will get better along the way.
