Popular a capella group TVXQ's leader Yunho, began his solo activities formally as an actor. Continue to gain new experiences everyday, he then talked about his future dreams.
'I want to let everyone see my acting which I put in efforts wholeheartedly and my growth with that character'
Started to play the leading role in drama series "no limit~ HTTG" as soccer player Cha Bong Goon last year. He was very happy when he heard his dvd ranked no.1 on chart in Japan.
'During filming, there was soon the scene speeding in motorcycle, and there was also scene which I jumped into the fire. There were a lot of dangerous scenes that I didn't use substitute, but acted them personally. The scene I fall into Han River too... But, because I want to let everyone see my acting which I devoted wholeheartedly, things that I can do, I did them all.' This is the attitude of the new actor Yunho.
'Bong Goon is really a man with positive thinking, who pours in all his efforts no matter when. "There is a possibility to be successful if strive hard...". It is same with me at this point. Although he was a very childish person at the beginning, and his character was not good either. When I was acting this I felt,"This is a bit different~" (lol) However, he later tasted despair and has risen above it. As Bong Goon grew, I also changed. Whenever I feel painful physically and mentally at work, I often think of,"What will Bong Goon do?" I seem to have grown with him.'
He stood on stage of MJ tribute concert in Korea in March this year and is currently rehearsing for Musical "Goong" which will begin in autumn.
'For me, this is another new challenge. I am really glad that I received this opportunity to train myself. I want to show everyone a fresh Yunho with new attitude. The character I played in "Goong" is a crown prince Lee Shin, who is opposite from Bong Goon who grew in poverty and adversity... "Although they are totally different, but they are Yunho too.", this kind of fresh feelings.'
From here a new challenge began.
'I have always wanted to act in a movie formally. It is also meaningful if I play as villain, because the usual me gives aggressive impression to the others. I don't want to be limited in this kind of image, I want to challenge various characters. Besides that, my latest hobbies is begin to learn tap dance. I am going to show it to everyone if I finished learning, please look forward to it.'
(Words in the pic: In between interview and photo shooting session was coffee-drinking-rest time, "I supported South Korea during their matches in world cup with Changmin at home!' Yunho who was interviewed by several media on the same day, faced the media honestly like usual. He will never forget the staff's feelings, and will surely shake hands with all of them.)
Ladies who put in all their efforts no matter for whom and enjoy their life are pretty!
'The age range for Japanese fans is very wide, from small kids to mothers, different kinds of people will come to give their support. Especially the generation of female in 'Fujin Koron', who need to look after their families, as well as working ladies. To attend this fanmeeting during free time is really troublesome right? I am very happy if our existence able to fully fill in everyone’s energy.
Since my mother is also working, so I can understand better the trouble for balancing work and family. But in Japan's fanmeeting, I can see the whole family (come to support) with happy mood and I am touched by that, "ah, this is really good~"
Ladies who put in all their efforts no matter for whom and enjoy their life are pretty! I will also feel difficult when there is only work. Able to discover something interesting, is very important for continuation of life.
My favourite thing now is bike. In this season, to ride on the bike along Han River with the wind blow in my face, my mood is great!
I have always wanted to repay everyone.
My future dreams, not only as a singer and actor, but also as a stage director who can create my own stage from scratch, etc. Another thing is to let those who want to be an artist to learn free of charge. For those who have abilities and ideas but don't have chance due to lack of money, I want to support their ambitions. I have been hearing this from seniors in celebrities world and my father, "After Yunho has become famous, have to repay a debt of gratitude by helping others within your abilities." and I am going to do it someday.
My father, whom is like a teacher and friend to me, has been giving me advices. The words that left deepest impression on me was, 'A genius can't win over a hardworking person, a hardworking person can't win over an optimistic person.' If you do something with positive mood, you won't feel difficult even though you have to try hard, if you continue to work hard, you can surpass the genius. I have spent my time happily today, and become an artist who can bring happiness to everyone too. I am going to work harder from now onwards.'
Apart from that, ‘Fujin Koron’ is going to select a reader to give away an autographed photo of Yunho.
