Park Jung Min “Love without boundaries, like those in dramas”


Park Jung Min, the member of SS501 who was recognized as “Sexy Charisma” by himself and the others, had participated in a Taiwanese drama “Fondant Garden” besides his singer career. As the only Korean actor in the shooting scene and needed to act with the Taiwan actors, all the people at the scene were a bit nervous. However, his bright smiles and straight out words and deeds let the staffs felt like one family. With his bright personality, he could flexibility adapted well in any country. He also told us, in fluent Japanese, funny stories during the filming and some personal stories.


Believe in the director, So decide to perform


Q. How did the chance come to perform in the Taiwanese drama “Fondant Garden”?
A. Angie Chai, the main director, took care of me and told me to perform in the drama she wanted to make. I was very grateful and so I decided to perform in it.


Q. Since Angie Chai is a great direct, did she tell you how you have attracted her?
A. Um…. My appearance for sure. (Laughter) Since we have met before, I think she knows my personality. And I have participated in the entertainment shows in Taiwan. So there was such suggestion.


Q. How did you feel when you decided to perform in the drama?
A. In fact, at that time, the script for the first chapter was not yet finished. But I thought it would be good enough if I believed in Angie Chai and worked. Normally, if we performed in oversea dramas, we would make decision after half of the whole transcript came out. Then we would wait until the whole transcript done and edited before we shot the drama. However, at that time, the situation was that the script for the first chapter was not yet finished. Since I believed in Angie Chai, I did it. (performed in the drama)


Q. How long had you been shooting in Taiwan?
A. Around 8 months. During that period, we shot in Korea too. So the exact time would be around half a year. Since we came back and fro between Korea and Taiwan for filming, there was no gap between the actors and staffs and we felt like “We are in a team”. The atmosphere was nice and we had a nice time together.


Q. You have oversea shooting in Japan too. How do you feel about oversea shooting?
A. In Korea and Japan, after we film the first episode, we will then film the second and third. However, for Taiwanese drama, we have all the production work done before broadcast. So, we may shoot the first scene in Ep 1, with the eighth scene in Ep16, or with the fifth scene in Ep 8 all together. Moreover, the writers for each episode are different. In fact, there are three writers writing their parts. Therefore, I did not know how the story started at that time. When I read the first Episode, I would read the 8th Episode immediately and I would felt like unit drama and asked “Why is it like that?” The story was put together with the pieces we had shot before.


Q. Heard that your acting skill has been improved?
A. The explosive force for a short time exists and the acting experience has been improved.


Q. So, you can act without preparation?
A. For a little gag scene, I can act without preparation. But I don’t know how to act next. For the story flow in drama, I will not apply acting without preparation.


Q. Although I have just watched till Ep 2, I feel that the cheerful character of XiHuan is exact the same as JungMin’s . So do you feel that there are many similarities between the two?
A. Only Ep 2! Hahahah~ Until EP 2, there was still the cheerful JungMin. But it was not like what you thought as the story went on. Please look forward! He would become serious… If I was him, it would be nice to have such changes.


Actors and staffs treat each other like family members


Q. Since JungMin’s character is bright, so you should be able to adapt even in any country, right?
A. Probably. I can get close with the director, the vice director and the staffs quickly.


Q. In the past, you had told us “There’s almost no language barrier”. So what is the necessary thing for learning a language?
A. I think “Communication is the most important thing”. What is the emotion that the direct wants, what did he say, you will feel hard to understand it by yourself. However, the staffs and other actors will teach you a lot.


Q. When you communicate with other actors and staffs, which language will you use? Chinese? English?
A. Mainly Chinese. However, for things I don’t know, there will be a translator and I will rely on the others. Even there is Chinese dubbing, sometimes I won’t speak Korean and say the lines in Chinese directly. If it is not in Chinese, other actors won’t know what you are talking about.


Q. How do you feel when you act with Wang ChuanYi, who acts as your brother?
A. He taught me a lot of things in acting and is a nice man. He knows a little bit Japanese. Since most of the stories were in Taiwan, he taught me much Chinese. And I also taught him Japanese and Korean.


Q. How well is JungMin’s Chinese?
A. Wowo…. I can only understand simple daily conversations. The level is approximately of a 6 year old child.


Q. Through the dramas, you have love relationship with Japanese female and Taiwanese female. In reality, do you want to cross over the nationality and language and have a romance?
A. Of course. There is no boundary for love. If there is a chance, I would like to try.


Q. The story talks a bout the love story of 4 persons based on cakery. Which kind of cake does JungMin like?
A. Recently, I like banana cake. Although it is made by a Korean shop, I don’t know that we can only buy it in that shop. And since the cake is handmade, we cannot take away. We can only eat it there. Although the name of the shop is called “Banana Pudding Cake”, it is not real pudding. There is normal banana flavor cream with banana in it. And there is some biscuits for decoration. It is really delicious. The shop located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. I always go there.


Q. In the drama, there were always cakes made. Did you eat them often?
A. In fact, I don’t really like icy cake. (Laughter) In the past I liked cheese cake, but I don’t like it now. For example muffin, do you like it? I will sometimes eat sweet food, but I am not holic in it.


Q. During the rest time, what will you eat?
A. I have no worry in meals. There are Korean cuisine and Japanese cuisine. Taiwanese cuisine is also very tasty. During the rest time, I would chat with the other actors and learn languages together.


Q. Do you still have contact with them now?
A. When HanXian (Wang ChuanYi) came to play in Korea, we had meals together. Also, I contact with MiEn (Jian ShuMan) through mails. For her mails, I can barely say it contains words. In fact, they are all images. (Laughter)


Q: Fondant Garden will be aired since August. What do you think we should focus on?
A: Of course Park Jung Min! Any part of Park Jung Min. (Laughter) Please look forward to this unexpected storyline after ‘’The Sixth Sense’’ (classical movie in the USA).


Admire girls who have long hair, have the same thing to laugh with and filial


Q: You have acted as the son of a tycoon this time. What do you want to act next?
A: Someone who is similar to me. It’s ok to have a cheerful character. Or someone who has a strong sense of existence. A mysterious character is also interesting.


Q: Do you plan to comeback as a singer in Korea?
A: “A new album to be released by the end of this year, or next year!” I’ve been thinking and planning a lot of things now.


Q: How do you compose songs?
A: At first, I will listen to the songs that I received and think on how to write the lyrics. Actually, I write the lyrics according to the experiences in my daily life, I will imagine “If it is good” or “if this kind of difference exists” and write them down at the same time. For example, a word can be recalled due to some lines of an old work. And then I will have a lot of ideas, and write the lyrics which matches with the songs. But there are many ways to do so.


Q: Do you stay at your home or in a coffee shop when you write the lyrics?
A: Yes, I can be very relaxed and concentrated when I’m at home. You will definitely hum the song when you are thinking no matter where you are in. Even the script can be memorized easily when you are in some quiet places.


Q: Right, I heard that there is a rookie just debuted in Japan who is similar to Jung Min. Have you heard of it?
A: Yes, I heard so! The name sounds so bad. Although he may not be as handsome as me, fans and others said he looks handsomer than me, I’m still mad about this. Seems like there will be a showcase tomorrow; I will go and see if he mimics me or not. (Laughter)


Q: Just like the sun and the moon, I heard that (ROMEO) is a different kind of singer as Jung Min right?
A: Ah? What, this… (Laughter) Hahahaha~ of course, different people have different charisma. He surely has some charisma different from me (Laughter). But as a “Sexy Charisma”, I will not be replaced in this point. I can let people feel close and the actually-existing Sexy Charisma.


Q: (You) have been to Japan for many times. What kind of food and places do you like in Japan?
A: When I arrived at Japan, I wanted to eat Azabu Ramen immediately. In the past, I used to live near Tamachi, so I know many shops there. Ramen, grill meat, udon, fried pork chop etc. When I first came to Japan, staffs who came along with me would go there together. For places I like…roads in Tamachi also nice (Laughter). For places like Harajuku, Omotesando, Jiyugaoka and Aoyama, I will sometimes go to the boutique and department stores there.


Q: Vice versa, which place will you introduce to people who go to Korea for the first time?
A: In fact, for tasty food, I want to eat good cooked by my mum most. I really like the food she cooks. So, if staffs come to Korea, I will definitely invite them to my home for once.


Q: What kind of girls do you like?
A: Long hair…(starting to notice the hair style of the surrounding staffs) For character, I like those who can laugh with me, careful and respect her parents.


Q: There were 4 bodyguards in the drama. If you really lived in such situation…
A: That’s good. I like constraints. If there is no constraint, it will be like…


Q: What a surprising answer! Is it still okay if she calls you every 10 minutes and asks ‘where are you’?
A: If it is really like this, it is really annoying. (Laughter) But I won’t do that to my girlfriend, I will give her freedom.


Q: Is that also OK if she goes to meet another man?
A: Maybe, but if she is deeply addicted in me, she won’t do this!


Q: Please tell your fans about your plans in the future.
A: This is a drama with an unexpected storyline ever since the movie “The Sixth Sense”. Please support and watch the drama. Also, Park Jung Min will keep working hard as a singer and an actor. Please give your full support. And please take care of your health.

English Translation:

Hello, this is Kim Kyu Jong. Yeah, is this yet another awkward greeting? Anyway, we, SS501, debuted in the year 2005, and now it is already the year 2012, it is a really long time, a long time has passed. I'll be leaving everyone's side for a while. Because I'll be enlisting soon, we'll have to spend the next 2 years apart, for a while. It has been 7, 8 years since we've met so I think that 2 years is considered a short time in comparison. Everyone, always stay healthy and happy. Also, I've released an album this time round, an album titled "Meet Me Again", so I hope you'll have a great time while listening to the album. In the time that I'm in the army, our members will be actively promoting so please show them lots of support. I sincerely wish that only good things will fill up your life. Then, I'll be greeting everyone often. This has been Kim Kyu Jong and 2 years later,
 SS501's Kim Kyu Jong will return.

This was what Kim Kyu Jong wanted and we didn't stop him. Of course he could have delayed it, but he wanted to go early and meet his fans as a better, manlier man."
Kim Kyu Jong, who appeared at the army base in a white shirt and jeans, could not hold in his happiness at the sight of hundreds of fans who came to meet him despite the hot weather.
Kim Kyu Jong said, "Time flies. It's already been 7 years since I met my fans. I think the next 2 years will fly by like that too."
On this day, SS501's Kim Hyung Joon and Heo Young Saeng came to send him off. Kim Kyu Jong said, "They came all the way here to support me. I heard it feels weird to send off a member. I think they're more sad than I am."
Kim Kyu Jong told the fans that will be waiting for him for 2 years, "Thank you so much for coming. I will safely return. The other members will be filling my empty spot. Please keep supporting us."

A: When I arrived at Japan, I wanted to eat Azabu Ramen immediately. In the past, I used to live near Tamachi, so I know many shops there. Ramen, grill meat, udon, fried pork chop etc. When I first came to Japan, staffs who came along with me would go there together. For places I like…roads in Tamachi also nice (Laughter). For places like Harajuku, Omotesando, Jiyugaoka and Aoyama, I will sometimes go to the boutique and department stores there.


Q: Vice versa, which place will you introduce to people who go to Korea for the first time?
A: In fact, for tasty food, I want to eat good cooked by my mum most. I really like the food she cooks. So, if staffs come to Korea, I will definitely invite them to my home for once.


Q: What kind of girls do you like?
A: Long hair…(starting to notice the hair style of the surrounding staffs) For character, I like those who can laugh with me, careful and respect her parents.


Q: There were 4 bodyguards in the drama. If you really lived in such situation…
A: That’s good. I like constraints. If there is no constraint, it will be like…


Q: What a surprising answer! Is it still okay if she calls you every 10 minutes and asks ‘where are you’?
A: If it is really like this, it is really annoying. (Laughter) But I won’t do that to my girlfriend, I will give her freedom.


Q: Is that also OK if she goes to meet another man?
A: Maybe, but if she is deeply addicted in me, she won’t do this!


Q: Please tell your fans about your plans in the future.
A: This is a drama with an unexpected storyline ever since the movie “The Sixth Sense”. Please support and watch the drama. Also, Park Jung Min will keep working hard as a singer and an actor. Please give your full support. And please take care of your health.

English Translation:

Hello, this is Kim Kyu Jong. Yeah, is this yet another awkward greeting? Anyway, we, SS501, debuted in the year 2005, and now it is already the year 2012, it is a really long time, a long time has passed. I'll be leaving everyone's side for a while. Because I'll be enlisting soon, we'll have to spend the next 2 years apart, for a while. It has been 7, 8 years since we've met so I think that 2 years is considered a short time in comparison. Everyone, always stay healthy and happy. Also, I've released an album this time round, an album titled "Meet Me Again", so I hope you'll have a great time while listening to the album. In the time that I'm in the army, our members will be actively promoting so please show them lots of support. I sincerely wish that only good things will fill up your life. Then, I'll be greeting everyone often. This has been Kim Kyu Jong and 2 years later,
 SS501's Kim Kyu Jong will return.

Title: Stars Who Had Unique Student Life: 5th Kim Hyunjoong!

0:00  Running away from home was the beginning of hardships.
0:11  A luxury prince.
0:13  Kim Hyun joong may look as though everything has gone smoothly with him, but…
0:18 “I’d even not like to imagine.”
0:20 “If my son were like me, I would confine him (in the house).
0:25 So, his life was not so easy, too?
0:28 “It was just like tornado.”
0:33 In the first place, his education background is unusual.
0:36 Graduated from Chamshil Elementary School and Chamshil Middle School…
0:38 Quited Yeongdong Highschool, graduated from Hanyan Industrial High school
0:40 At present, a student of Kongju University of Visual Arts.
0:46 Somewhat complicated, isn’t it?
0:50 Began with Seo Taiji and ended with quitting from senior high school
0:56 “Hyunjoong was not so smart, but was cool.”
1:01 Was playing the guitar. Because of whom?
1:04 That’s it! I wanna become like him!
1:06 I will become the second Seo Taiji!
1:09 The moment Hyunjoong saw Seo Taiji, he felt as though a new world opened.
1:14 “Going to school was like wasting time.” “I wanted to play the guitar more!”
1:20 Did you feel going to school was wasting time?
1:22 “Yeah, because I wanted to become like Seo Taiji Sunbae as quickly as possible.”
1:28 Kim Hyunjoong decided to quit from senior high school, to live like Seo Taiji.
1:32 But, what happened to his life?
1:35 “Wake up in the morning, and eat breakfast.”
1:38 “Was breakfast provided? By your mom?”
“No, I even could not get allowance at that time.”
1:43 Earn by yourself to eat!
1:50 I used to stand-by at cafeteria of the high school in day time.
1:54 After school hours, friends come there to gather.
1:57 When I got bored, I went to another high school by bicycle.
2:04 I played soccer there with the students during their physical education class.
2:11 Afterwards, I went to work for chicken-delivery.
2:20 We have heard that those idling are the busiest! Indeed!
2:27 When a teacher asked me, “study or music?”, I decided “music”.
2:31 Then I left home saying “I will work by myself. I will make it!”
2:35 Hmm, he left home…., then?
2:38 Experienced extreme hardships.
2:40 I’ve never experienced hardships like that.
2:44 The heroic hardship began there.
2:50 Kim Hyunjoong’s overcoming a whirlwind. Survival strategy of a runaway boy!
2:56 No.1.  When hungry?
3:00 I left home, no money, was too hungry. I thought I might die.
3:06 Then, eat!
3:09 I ordered plenty like toppogi, onigiri (rice balls), and ate them.
3:18 Then, I just ran out, at a right timing. Holding tempura in my hand…
3:23 Tempura?
“It’s an emergency food for the next day.”
3:30 No.2. When want to take shower?
3:36 When I went to the basement of a public bath, there was a boiler.
3:41 It must be with really strong fire.
3:43 Yes, it was really hot. I climbed up a ladder leaning on the wall.
3:51 When I open a cover, there was a public bath.
3:57 Then took a shower with hot water. Shaved with a used shaver.
4:08 But that got known soon. I thought I was gonna killed.
4:17 No. 3. When sleepy, … this!
4:21 I was sleeping in a room of a large apartment which was going to be renovated.
4:34 When I woke up, they had started dismantling. They were breaking down the apartment.
4:41 The building was all in small pieces.
4:44 Yes, the rooms up to the next door had been broken already.
4:54 Then, we hear that you found the best survival strategy.
4:59 It was that time that I went home. Also wanted to go to college.
5:04 Should graduate from high school.
5:06 Must not continue the runaway life.
– The world is a fearful place!
5:15 Hardship may have grown him up.
5:17 Entered high school again, and even won a merit award.
5:22 You, who experienced hardship by yourself, are a true star of resistance!

SS501 Kim Kyu Jong Enlists in the Army, "I Want to go Early to Show a Better Side of Me When I Come Back"
Kim Kyu Jong entered the army with support from fellow SS501 members.
On July 23, SS501 Kim Kyu Jong held a short interview with reporters in front of the army base before going in.
Kim Kyu Jong, who is 25 years old, is relatively young compared to other celebrities when they enter the army. Most male celebrities go to the army in their early 30s.
Kim Kyu Jong's agency, B2M Entertainment said, "We thought it would be right for him to go now and show better sides of him after he comes back. This was what Kim Kyu Jong wanted and we didn't stop him. Of course he could have delayed it, but he wanted to go early and meet his fans as a better, manlier man."
Kim Kyu Jong, who appeared at the army base in a white shirt and jeans, could not hold in his happiness at the sight of hundreds of fans who came to meet him despite the hot weather.
Kim Kyu Jong said, "Time flies. It's already been 7 years since I met my fans. I think the next 2 years will fly by like that too."
On this day, SS501's Kim Hyung Joon and Heo Young Saeng came to send him off. Kim Kyu Jong said, "They came all the way here to support me. I heard it feels weird to send off a member. I think they're more sad than I am."
Kim Kyu Jong told the fans that will be waiting for him for 2 years, "Thank you so much for coming. I will safely return. The other members will be filling my empty spot. Please keep supporting us."
