[TRANS] Park Yuchun, “Oh, we were surprised by you" - Tenasia interview Part 3

---

Q: In relationships, are you the type who will bring it to a definite close when a relationship comes to an end?

PYC: I failed in doing so. I wanted to do it that way but I felt sorry so, I was not able to do it. I wanted to just run away but when I thought about the many faces, I could not bring myself to do it. It will gradually get better in the future. I quickly put it aside and try not to think about it.

Q: After going into acting through Sungkyunkwan Scandal, there were almost no controversies with regards to your acting. It feels like Haemoo also sailed successfully and arrived safely (T/N: Premiered successfully without any interference). After the movie preview, the responses you received were all good.

PYC: Honestly, I didn't know that. I was not touched by those words. I am wondering if my acting was really worthy of those high praise. I simply only lived as Dongshik without missing a moment but because I was complimented for that, all of a sudden I feel that there are inadequate moments when I lived as Dongshik.

Q: That's the best thing, isn't it? I don't mean to say that you feel good but to be able to put yourself aside, assume your character and to just completely live as that character; not many actors are able to do so.

PYC: Is...is that true? That's...that's the way it should be, right? [T/N: He was stuttering] I think that is fundamental.

Q: It is fundamental but not in many cases. Anyhow, being able to completely immerse yourself in the character is a situation which you can say with confidence and for that, you should be feeling proud.

PYC: Now that you've mentioned, I think that's how it should be! Hahaha. I do have confidence in that.

Q: By the way, do you have the habit of checking out complimentary words? You are being surrounded by evaluations at an early stage so, do you feel alerted by sweet words?

PYC: Honestly, yes. I am alert.

Q: Are you perhaps the type of person who's easily deceived?

PYC: (Looks at the people from his management company who were in front of him) I do look easy to be deceived, right? (Firmly) No! Maybe it's difficult to deceive me. I can pretend to be deceived and yet not be caught for pretending.

Q: You have the a slick/sly side.

PYC: I clearly have that side. As I get older, I think I'm becoming sneakier. I'm thinking how it would be like to be much sneakier than I am now.

Q: Looking at your filmography: Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Miss Ripley, Rooftop Prince, Missing You, Three Days and Haemoo, they are all of different genres.

PYC: It wasn't intentional. I chose a film, did it and it just turned out the way it did. Also, after doing one, I naturally had the desire to show something different from before.

Q: Since you're considering to look for something different, why don't you dye your hair? (laughs) There have been many conversations going on about your hair color. The feedback from others is why you're maintaining your hair black.

PYC: This is slightly dyed. It has been a long time. I do not want to change my outer appearance. What I have is good as it is. Acne scar is good, not having eyebrows is also good. I was told to get eyebrow tattoo but I would just like to live as how I look like. Before, I used to dress up but now, I do not have the interest to do so. Just place fancy stuff where they are supposed to be and that's enough.

Q: What type of man or senior is attractive?

PYC: A senior like Yoo Seung Mok sunbae. Seungmok-hyungnim is very manly, and even though he can be crazy in acting, he is an attentive husband and good father to his daughter. All the seniors in Haemoo are like that. They are very masculine but also soft and homely men.

Q: I assume that kind of lifestyle is one you are dreaming of.

PYC: That's right. I would like to live like that. It would be great to place family first above work. I know how difficult it is and that's why I stay together with my family for the longest time possible.

Q: You seem to harbor such a great yearning to become a good father.

PYC: I do. Yearning to become a good parent.

Q: What kind of a son were you?

PYC: Ah...A very unfilial son. Now that I am working and earning money, I can provide a nice house but what is the meaning of all these when that person is no longer around [T/N: His father, I assume]. That's why, I am trying my best to treat my mother well. At the same time, I separate my life from my mother's because I think that is better for her.

Q: You said you will be going to the studio to practice for the concert after this interview. How is it like to be going back-and-forth between being an actor and a singer?

PYC: It happens naturally. It's something which I do frequently. Above everything else, these 2 jobs bring me joy so, there is no burden at all.

Q: It seems like there are other countless Yuchuns existing between actor Park Yuchun and singer Park Yuchun.

PYC: No. I think there isn't singer Yuchun either. Not even actor Yuchun. It's just solely me. Many people are talking about the many facades of my figure. However, in the end that is just me so why do they want to talk about me separately? I am who I am.
