Kim Jaejoong. “Cold City Man? An Earthy Man Like Doenjang.”
I want to become a person who does not burden, who fits in anywhere, without excessive wants.”
Kim Jaejoong will transform into the “Prince of the Financial World” Cha Muwon in the new SBS Wed-Thursdsay drama Protect the Boss.
Kim Jaejoong who needs to show off the acting of a perfect man from his debut onto the drama scene may find it burdensome the “chaebol man craze” (T/N: “chaebol” can be translated into a family who is on the top of the wealth pyramid in Korea) that began with Hyunbin. Furthermore, Park Yoochun who is a member of the same team has showed off the acting of a chaebol male in a recent drama Miss Ripley.
At this, Kim Jaejoong revealed his firm determination: “It is true that it is burdensome. I am putting in much effort in order to portray in Cha Muwon a character who is unique on his own.”
Kim Jaejoong, as his character is a chaebol male, appears in the drama always in a great suit that fits him well. In his previous drama Sunao ni Narenakute also, he was always wearing a suit. But there is a difference that in Sunao ni Narenakute it was a suit that was ruffled and emitted a strong air of an ajusshi.
“Now that we’ve said it, it is quite odd, isn’t it? Whenever I do a drama I come to wear suits. When I was shooting the drama in Japan the role was that of a company man who was a bit of a country-bumpkin and so I could not wear fashionable clothes. But in truth there are other reasons. At the time I worked out so much and so there were no suits that fit me. (laugh)”
If he were really born as a second generation chaebol, what would this 2nd generation chaebol Kim Jaejoong be doing in 2011? Kim Jaejoong burst into laughter: “I think I would have been quite the delinquent.” This is Kim Jaejoong who says that if he were to become a chaebol he wishes to buy a helicopter or a plane. The reason also is simple. He says it’s because right now he cannot by a plane or a helicopter.
Who is Kim Jaejoong whom Kim Jaejoog speaks of? Kim Jaeojong who shows a face that changes by the second, an image that changes by the second, and always attempts to challenge himself at a new work. Such a Kim Jaejoong—what kind of a person does he want to become?
“I am a person like doenjang (T/N: Fermented Korean soybean paste, commonly known as “miso” in its Japanese equivalent). It is used as a medicine, it is also used in food, it is always fine no matter what you put it into, it also does not burden. Just as it has an intense smell, I also have an intense side from time to time. On the contrary, I also have times when I let it simmer for a long time, just like a paste fermented for long. Just as it melts easily in water I also sometimes melt in easily. Just like meju (T/N: doenjang’s previous form), I also stay quiet and hardened from time to time. Just like doenjang inside of its jar—I want to be a person who does not have excessive wants, who does not burden, and who fits in well wherever you put him in.
