Rolled into one with dancing ability, outstanding looks and Japanese fluency plus the benevolence character, he was widely praised by the public.
As a member of top idol group JYJ, never was there a tinge of arrogance in attitude. Facing every questions by the reporter seriously and carefully, giving his replies with a smile, he is Kim Jaejoong.
Kim Jaejoong stepped into the drama field after acting in Fuji TV drama ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’ and recently news of him acting in SBS TV drama spread, making it his first starring in mainstream drama. Returning with a new identity as a actor, although he expressed that ‘his anxiety is giving him goose bumps’ but his good mood can be easily seen from his talk.
“You said it just now that there would be pressure due to the first challenge in domestic drama but to say that it is pressure, such kind of negative feeling, I would rather say that it is a new feeling that is due to anxiety. Until now, I was not able to have that carefree and self-confidence from standing on the stage as a singer, I think that is a very lacking phase right now. But upon starting this new work, it’s still very exciting.”
Collaborating with Ji Sung, Choi Kang Hee, Wang Ji Hye in this new drama, Kim Jaejoong acts as ‘Prince of Financial World’ Cha Mu Won, and was first cousins with Cha Ji Hyun (Ji Sung). With regards to this character, Kim Jaejoong explained that he was a gentleman to others but had that cold and merciless king-like manner.“Although Cha Mu Won is unpredictable, he has a simple child-like side of him. Him having two sides of his personality is very different from me. On the other hand, Ji Sung hyung’s character as Cha Ji Hyun is more alike to myself personally, i.e. love to joke around.”
JYJ funniest member Kim Jaejoong, 4D baby faced beauty Choi Kang Hee, with the addition of Ji Sung who can control the on-site atmosphere anytime, there should not be any cold moments in the set of ‘Protect the Boss’. “Filming has just started so I did not get to meet the fellow actors and veteran actors, but the good atmosphere is still the same as during the script reading practice, the laughters did not ceased. Teacher Cha Hwa Yeon and Teacher Park Yong Kyu gave me vey good advices, I hope to perform well and always be likeable by everyone.”
In order to receive love from the veteran actors and viewers throughout the filming, Kim Jaejoong has been putting in his best effort and got to learn about acting from actor Ahn Nae Sang through the introduction by the director. Ahn Nae Sang acted as Park Yoochun’s teacher in KBS 2TV drama, ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’, thus many fans expressed, “In the drama, he is Park Yoochun’s teacher and in reality he is Kim Jaejoong’s teacher.” To this, Kim Jaejoong smiled, “Yoochun’s teacher is my teacher? It can be said so.”
He continued, “When he was teaching me, he would very frequently speak of Yoochun. He said in the beginning, Yoochun was not used to the way people speaks in historical drama, but he got better later. Although I was happy for him, but the more I felt pressurized,” joking while revealing a bit of his true voice in him.
Park Yoochun, who is currently filming MBC TV Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Miss Ripley’, received awards from KBS TV Drama Award and Baeksang Arts Award through ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ and gained his place in the acting field. Kim Junsu has also received musical awards based on his musicals ‘Tears of Heaven’ and ‘Mozart’. As compared to the other two members, Kim Jaejoong who debuted in the acting field slightly later, envied the two of them. “Yoochun has to film the drama in between the schedule of the World Tour, and looked very exhausted. Therefore when I said I am going to film a drama, he jokingly said that ‘you will become like that too, you should try, hahaha.’ Junsu would send me encouraging messages and jokes copied from the internet. It’s because of them that I felt practical.”
“I feel that I am a newborn who just stepped into this territory, I will continue to work hard and hopefully everyone will continue to support me.”
