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.
