Q. There is a cooking scene in this drama. Do you cook? And are you strong in alcohol?
A. The drama has been filmed to look like I made. In practice, expert made. (laugh) But I can. At least ramen, fried eggs and fried rice... I think if I can afford the time, I want to learn to cook. For make a self-catering. And if I got lover, I want to cook for her. About 2 Soju? I'm pretty drunk when I drink 2. But previously I have not been able to drink a bottle. About harf bottle. I did not like alcohol smell of Soju, and did not feel formerly delicious. Now I'm able to understand a little bit, I came to like Soju than beer. Drinking alcohol, reddens the cheeks a little, feel better? I like atmosphere of alcohol place. If I drink about 2 Soju, I will be drunk fun. I'm weak in alcohol.

A. In Korea, 2 is normal. If you drink 4-5 Soju, they will say you are strong. (laugh)

Q. You played with veteran actors like Lee Soon Jae in this drama. Please tell episodes.
A. First, Mr. Lee Soon Jae comes to shooting location before anyone else. Large senior like Mr. Lee Soon Jae was there early, I was really surprised. I was impressed from Mr. Lee Soon Jae. So I thought I have to work harder. Mr. Lee Soon Jae taught me acting. He also taught me the know-how in front of the camera. For me it was a good experience in every moment. I have really learned a lot till the date of the last meeting.

Q. There is a shower scene. Did you get in shape before the shooting?
A. I had trained. I stopped on the way to hear understudy. But understudy and I was too different body type. After all I trained until just before the shooting. (laugh) I start making body ago 1-2 months of movies and dramas. The previous drama, too.

Q. I ask in honor of the title of this drama. Do you love someone?

A. I got lover at the first time about 5 years ago. Farewell is shame, but I have a lot of memories. These are good first love memories for me.

A. Well... I like all women. (laugh) I like the feminine and homely person. A person who is bright, modest humble, kind and not mix business with is nice, than the type to just go out.

Q. Your drama challenge is the 2nd. I ask bluntly. Do you like either actor and singer?
A. Now I like actor. But of course I like both. Singer is commonplace to me. So I feel actor business is fun despite a singer.

Q. What's role you want in the future?
A. I have the image that face is beautiful and slender... Do you think so? I have changed much from before...? (laugh) Anyway there is no manly image, right? So conversely I want to play manly role or villains. For example, the role who is a good citizen during the day but become killer in night. I want to play the role who is not my image, and I want to give a different impression to people.

Q. How is age play?
A. I think age play does not suit me. Even if I appeared, I play the role to die early? (laugh)

Q. I think you will not have much off days. What are you doing on off days?

But joining ceremony is once in 3 months. So they can not join until next year. (laugh) Also I'm learning the guiter. Only 2 days yet. I will let it next year. (laugh)

Q. You did the tour as singer in Japan. Fan reaction?
A. I felt it had been stable at last. Maybe they think "Kim Hyung Jun's concerts are fun". So there was not anxiety. I have become to understand to some extent the reaction of the fans, also the fans know my stages. We can enjoy feeling comfortable with each other, just like being home. I feel like I show in front of the family, in the living room. So many people come feel free.

Q. What would you like to do in 2013?
A. I'm shooting the movie now. I want that the movie which is published next year will be succeed. And I'm planning to appear in a lot of drama next year. I will act a lot as an actor. So rookie award at the end of the year... It is late. My goal is popular award etc.

We interviewed him for the first time. Striking eyes, frank and robust reply. He is very charming. Also he imitated Mr. Lee Soon Jae. It was very similar. We enjoyed. But he said, "I have never done in front of him because he may angry". (laugh) We expect him more and more as a singer and an actor also in the future. Kim Hyung Jun HWAITING!!(mm)
