[TRANS] Park Yuchun "I smell like an actor is the best compliment to me" Part 3

---

Note: This is the last part of Yuchun's SBSfunE interview.

Q: If so, for a person who does not like the limelight, the process of becoming a singer and actor can be dramatic.

A: Erm...It's not so much about lacking passion but just a difference in personality. Since childhood, I've liked music and composition so I had a dream of becoming either a songwriter or novelist. Even when attending school, I asked myself, "Why are you attending school?" So I skipped school and went to the park to do writing. Though I like music and I became a singer, when I am a singer I wanted to be quiet. But a singer's job is one which constantly requires me to be in the limelight and show myself so, in that sense I don't quite like it.

Q: You received different evaluations while you were acting, didn't you? There were favorable comments as well as criticisms. For Haemoo in particular, from the beginning you received many praises but what type of comment are you most pleased with?

A: Comments like "Park Yuchun, you can continue acting in movies in the future," "There's a scent of an actor." Until now, I am still shy in calling myself an actor but to hear those kind of comments, it makes me feel good. Fortunately, there are good comments for my first movie. It's a happy thing, right? A good movie can be of box office value but at the same time there will be shortcomings too. No matter what the result is, I think I have received a lot from this movie.

Q: Seems like you'll be joining the army? It's a pity that you will be leaving Haemoo as the peak. You should ride on this momentum and take on more films.

A: Absolutely not. I had more concerns after shooting Haemoo than before it started. I was concerned about what type of films I want to do and what type of films I should be doing. If I have a little more time, I would want to go for it. I would like to slowly think about Park Yuchun as an individual and Park Yuchun as an actor. In this sense, the gap of 2 years will be a very precious time.

Q: Haemoo has been invited to the Toronto International Film Festival. Are you scheduled to attend? If you do attend, it will be your first time participating in an international film festival. How will it be like?

A: I would really love to attend but because JYJ's concert will be around that time, I don't think I will be able to make it. JYJ is not my individual activity so during my schedules as a singer, I have to adjust to the other members' schedule too. I've seen in the news when people walk down the red carpet in an international film festival, it seems very wonderful. But the seniors said that they will be drinking a lot. Haha.


Q: This is quite an offbeat question. You're turning 30 right? Your concept of love and relationship with the opposite sex will also seem to change. Particularly like this in movie, after experiencing such an intense love, I assume your view on love would have also changed?

A: Love...it's difficult. It's tough. Though you may have decided on it, you may not have it your way...The thing that is more difficult that work is love. If I do meet someone I really love, I would give up everything and just go for it. It's not like "I'm giving up everything for you" kind of thing but when two become three and three become four and naturally giving your all...that is love.

Q: What kind of a charm in a woman are you attracted to?

A: Are you asking about "innocent by day, sexy by night" kind of stuff? Haha, just kidding. Firstly, the most important thing is the family environment. A person who receives a lot of love from her family is good. (The reporter said Yuchun was very pedantic). When looking for love, that is a very important element. In one way for another, children will be heavily influenced by their parents. It's good if she has a sexy appearance but that is not all that I will be looking for.

Q: Now, this is the last question. Please give some advice to the audience who will be watching Haemoo as well as those who are hesitating to watch it.

A: Haemoo is not as dark and heavy as I thought it to be. You will also see the difficult pure love in the movie. It's not as intense as you imagine but if I were to say it's not too intense, you might be surprised...Anyway, it's a movie which will leave you many thoughts after watching. How much have we thought about the life we live? If you ask, "How many times do you look up at the sky each day?" many people will halt at that thought. If you watch Haemoo, you will have a good opportunity to think about the various emotions of life's experiences. Do come and watch it.
