On 17th September at 19:30 in Impact Hall 3, Park Yoochun, a superstar singer from JYJ and lead actor from the famous drama, SungKyunKwan Scandal, steals the hearts of Thai fans in “Park Yuchun Exclusive Fan Meeting in Thailand”. Fans already burst into screams at the opening of the event.
Yoochun: Hello, I’m Yoochun.
Q: How do you feel about this fan meeting?
Yoochun: This is the first time I came here alone. I’m really excited. I didn’t expect this many fans to attend the event. Initially, I was worried that no one would come because I’m the only one here. (Fans scream)
Q: You came here twice in a row, how was it?
Yoochun: After I was done filming the drama, we were planning to have a private vacation in Thailand but our schedules didn’t work out. However, we will have time after this and wish to come here. We like Thailand. We will plan it out carefully and make it top secret.
Q: How did Jaejoong and Junsu support you?
Yoochun: Junsu said, “take care”. Jaejoong hugged me and said…. (fans started to scream) it was a friend hug to give encouragement. It was normal.
Q: Miss Ripley has just ended. What have you been doing recently?
Yoochun: I went to the sea, sailing, swimming and fishing.
Q: You came to Thailand frequently, can you speak some Thai?
Yoochun: I’ve just learned the difference between “po-po” (short kiss/peck on the mouth) or “kiss” (deep kiss) in Thai. Short kiss is “Joob” (จุ๊บ) and deep kiss is “Jooooooob~” (จูบ)
Q: I’ll teach you some Thai, but you have to pose like me.
Yoochun: “Na-ruk ah~” (tilted his head)
[T/N: Na-ruk = cute]
Q: What is your favourite Thai dish?
Yoochun: I really want to have Phad Thai before I came here, so I went to a restaurant in Korea. However, yesterday I had a chance to eat Phad Thai here and I thought, ‘Yeah, this is the real Phad Thai’. I think women who can cook Phad Thai are really attractive.
[T/N: Phad Thai is stir-fried noodles with shrimps, beansprouts, eggs, tofu and a special sauce.]
Q: If you have time, where do you want to visit in Thailand?
Yoochun: There’s no particular place, but I want to go clubbing with friends around the same age. Yesterday I went to a club with the staff, there was a live band and I had a chance to listen to Thai songs. It was really fun. I went to Fallabella
Q: How do you feel about acting in Miss Ripley?
Yoochun: It was really tough and it was during rainy season. The scripts changed a lot and the staff had to work really hard. Sometimes I also felt dissatisfied because I think I should have done better.
Q: I heard the filming was really tough, how was it?
Yoochun: All the actors had to work all day all night and sometimes didn’t get any sleep. So I hope there will be a lot of viewers when it’s broadcasted and I hope you will like our drama.
Miss Ripley teaser was played before going into the interval. Each scene made the fans scream at the handsomeness of the lead actor. As for Yoochun, he went to the backstage and came out with a cool scarf in a more relaxing look.
Q: When did you become interested in acting?
Yoochun: Since I debuted, but I never had the chance to act, so this is a great opportunity for me.
Q: Do you think you’re good at acting?
Yoochun: I don’t think so.
Q: How did the other two members comment on your acting?
Yoochun: Junsu gave comments like other viewers like, “it’s good, it’s fun~”. Jaejoong said, “the atmosphere/feeling is different (from one episode to the other)”, something like that.
Then followed by a piano performance from Park Yoochun who said he can’t really remember the notes, but all the fans were still cheering for him enthusiastically. Yoochun gave a special performance which wasn’t included in the cue sheet and played his self-composed piece, calling for another round of applause.
Q: Do you prefer being a singer or an actor?
Yoochun: I prefer being a singer. To be honest, both careers have different aspects, but when I’m a singer on the stage I can embrace the feelings of our fans directly, so I feel like I really can’t stop being a singer.
Q: Is there a chance to see you in a movie?
Yoochun: I think so, it’s a secret.
Next was Q&A section. The questions were from fans and were chosen randomly from the board.
Q: Do you believe in first love?
Yoochun: I do, but I don’t think that is love, it’s more like an attraction.
Q: You don’t tweet at all, have you forgotten your password?
Yoochun: At first I really forgot my password, but I can remember it now.
Q: If tomorrow all of your fans were gone and you had no fans like today, how would you feel? (Fans were shouting ‘no way, it’s not gonna happen’.)
Yoochun: If that really happens, then the reason must be because of myself. I wouldn’t be here without the love of the fans.
Q: How is Harang doing?
Yoochun: You guys also love Harang because you love everything about me? (Fans: Yes!) Now everyone can say that they love him, but during summer his poop melts and his hair also falls, then his hair would fall into the poop. You wouldn’t say you love him then.
Q: Why did you choose Thailand for your First Date?
Yoochun: One simple answer, because I like Thailand.
Q: Are Thai girls beautiful?
Yoochun: Yes, they are. Yesterday I had a drink with Mr. Kung and we talked about the personality of Thai people, like how they are cute, polite and very charming.
Then a VTR from the three members of JYJ were played during the interval. Although, the other two members did not attend the event, but they gave their full support. Followed by a surprised Mickey cake and a cute VTR from the fans.
Next up was the game section. Yoochun randomly picked 5 lucky fans to participate in “Cham Cham Cham” game on the stage. Each fan will have a one-on-one match against him. If the player can beat Yoochun, she will get a doll from him and get to shake his hand. If Yoochun wins, then she will only get the doll and get hit on the head with a toy hammer as a punishment from Yoochun. Fans were hesitating whether they should win and get to shake his hand, or lose on intention, get hit on the head and let Yoochun comforts them!
After the game section was a VTR from JYJ concert World wide concert in Seoul was played. Then Yoochun came back out in white costume and sang Found You in acoustic style. Thai fans cheered for him all the way, making Yoochun smiled throughout the whole performance.
Q: Let’s talk about SungKyunKwan Scandal, it’s being broadcasted in Thailand at the moment. Was the filming difficult?
Yoochun: It was very tiring and because it’s my first drama, I had a lot of catching up to do, otherwise, I would be holding everyone back. I really had to put in all the effort.
Q: How did you manage to stay awake when you had to film overnight?
Yoochun: There were a lot of scenes in the mountains and it was really cold, so drowsiness wasn’t the problem. The difficult thing was how to act well.
Q: There was also a kiss scene, were you excited?
Yoochun: We filmed that scene at five in the morning and we had been filming for many days already, so I wasn’t that excited…but I was a bit excited.
Q: How did you prepare for this kiss scene?
Yoochun: I rinsed my mouth.
Q: Who are you closest to?
Yoochun: If I want to go out for a drink, I would go with Joong Ki. Ah In was really strange though, I couldn’t reach him most of the time. The three of us already promised to go out for a drink (T/N: in October to be exact ^ ^.)
A VTR from SungKyunKwan Scandal was played, and the fans started screaming passionately, not only at Yoochun’s scenes, but JoongKi’s and Ah In’s as well.
Then we reached the last game section of the event. Yoochun played O/X (True/False) game with all the fans in the hall in order to find his true fans. Yoochun made up the questions right in the fan meeting. We get to know that:
- His shoe size is 275
- Harang has been with him for 4 years already
- He brushes his teeth before taking a shower
- He only uses shampoo when he washes his hair
- If he gets married, he doesn’t want to have 2 children
- His favourite liquor is Johnny Blue Label
- His favourite car model is not Ferrari California
- He didn’t have Tom-Yum-Koong for lunch (T/N: TomYumKoong = spicy shrimp soup with Thai herbs)
- He’s wearing a blue underwear with red border today (It was a long wait before Yoochun came up with this question, but the fans wouldn’t believe his answer, so he had to prove himself by showing it to the fans.)
- Lastly, the first thing in women that he looks at are their legs
The three winners in the last round got to take a couple photo with Park Yoochun and one of them got his Gucci wallet that he has been using.
Yoochun ended the fan meeting by saying “This has been a very pleasant fan meeting, it’s really worthwhile. I’m really impressed at the video from the fans, it was really touching. I’m truly grateful to have received this much love, it’s really unforgettable. I don’t know how to repay for everything. I will go back and improve myself so I can repay everyone. Although I’m here by myself, so many of you came. Thank you very much. (Fans were holding ‘We Love Yoochun’ banners.) I also love everyone from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Pom Rak Khun (I love you).”
The fan meeting concluded with Mr. Kung Chalermchai Mahakijsiri, the CEO of 411 Entertainment, giving a bouquet and souvenir to Yoochun. Since it was such a successful event for the artist, fans and the organizer, seems like we will get to see 411′s upcoming project soon.
