[Trans] Skyperfect TV interview
BYJ Festival, in which Skyperfect TV airs Korean Wave star Bae Yong Joon’s
dramas and movies back to back over the next three months,
has started from 1st January and is now a hot topic.
Its highlights are the interviews with Yon-sama,
that are to be aired on January 10th and February 7th.
Only Sankei Sports newspaper got the content of the interview.
BYJ is a popular actor always carrying his tender smiles,
frankly confessed that behind smiles he was always playing
while keeping two letters (cloud nine: two Chinese characters 隐退)
of retirement in mind.
The interview was held on 19th November 2008,
at a studio in Korea with the outside temperature of at least minus 5 degrees.
Yon-sama, who protected himself against cold with the turtleneck sweater,
mentioned a surprising fact from the very beginning.
“To tell the truth I had no intention to become an actor.
I wanted to be a director.
I have once thought of going into direction leaving the current job behind.
However, because of the fans who supported me as an actor
I had second thought of working harder and decided to stay an actor.”
He was actually reluctant to have an audition of Love Greeting,
a KBS drama in which he made a debut playing the leading role.
“As I hadn’t prepared anything for it, without confidence I just gave it a try.
All I remember about it is that the parking lot fee was very expensive.
Because, during the audition,
I had parked the car for nearly ten hours.' (laughs)
Against his will, he went on his ‘career path of actor’ and rose to stardom.
In 2002 he won huge popularity with Winter Sonata in Japan,
however, the work he mentioned as his most memorable one himself was
Have we really loved?
in which he played an ambitious student.
“The hero I played had suffered from his life itself and was in great pain.
I could sympathize with the situation and be naturally involved in the role.
He died of a brain tumor at the end and because of this he suffered a lot.
One day I actually had a headache
and started to worry if I had something wrong in my brain,
so I had a checkup.”
By focusing on his character,
his performance naturally became very much convincing.
That’s why he had his back against the wall all the time.
“I’m ashamed to say that I always play the role
thinking this would be the last shooting,
this might be my last work or last scene. '
This year he will try voice acting in Animation Winter Sonata,
and will work as the Ambassador of Tourism as well.
“What would you like to do if you have, for example, ten-days-holidays?”
To this question he revealed his honest feeling.
“I would like to go to a country where nobody knows Bae Yong Joon
and experience its culture, meet people
and make friends with them or something like that.”
His real face, that has hardly been revealed, was partially highlighted.
This interview will be aired in Skyperfect TV!
BYJ Exclusive Special~ Change & Future - Part 1
will be aired at 10 pm on 10th January
and Part 2 at 7 pm on 7th February."
