Q. Although you’ve been
steadily acting, this is your first movie. During that time, I think there were
many movie offers but what was your reason for choosing ‘Marriage Blues’ at
first
There were some
movie offers. During that time, the scenarios which came to me were what I
concentrated on.
There was also a
burdensome thing then. In Marriage Blue it’s not one where I got much
appearance time.
But, even when you
see there’s not many appearance time, because the character descriptions had to
be certainly shown, there were also rather difficult parts in it.
Q. That’s why I asked. Actually, in ‘Marriage Blue’ the
role you acted didn’t appear much, and compared to other characters who are
more fixed, the portion you showed was also not much.
I think you have a somewhat critical reason.
The story itself was
fun. Until now I’ve received either heavy (plot), action or lots of manly ones.
Compared to those,
‘Marriage Blues’ is lighter, and there were more comical parts. I think that’s why
I chose it.
Q. You had an interview with Tenasia about your recent
drama ‘Who Are You’, at that time you said you are really similar with the
character Weoncheol.
You chose this movie with such point, can we see a great
impact?
That’s right, I
think it’s a sure thing. Weoncheol’s script matched with my thoughts, and there
was a moment that it was easy to act this role.
Q. Perhaps, don’t you get fearful about the movie?
It also applies to
drama. I acted in the drama ‘Cinderella’s Sister’ for the first time, that
character I did back then can be similar to the current one I do.
For first time the
burden was so big, because there’s fear. I think it applies to anyone.
Q. Though it’s your first time in a movie, how did you
feel seeing your face on the screen
It’s complicated.
There’s a time I’m embarrassed, and there’s a time when I’m fine. When I saw it being closed up, it’s
different.
To express it in a
word, it’s difficult emotions. Despite knowing the plot and seeing it, there’s
also self sizzling scene. (Laugh)
Q. Don’t you feel greedy while acting? When we watch and
set only the part you did, compared to the other couples featured in the movie,
yours is in fact weak.
Anyway, since
reading the scenario for the first time, I knew it would be a quiet character.
That’s why I think a bit more about how would I be able to express the
character well.
Because of acting a 7 years couple, I did
interview of such people beforehand.
Q. Luckily there’s a 7 years dating couple who fit it
well.
There’s a couple
dating for 7 hours, there’s even a married couple who dated for 10 years
beofre.
Because those people
said that a movie called ‘Lovers Of 6 Years’ was really good, I also noted that
film. And to do interview for real gave lots of help.
Q. In the movie, you acted as the couple who dated for 7
years, a figure who chose to get married with the ‘faith’ because of the dating
period.
If so, I wonder what is Taecyeon’s real dating style if
it’s not Taecyeon in the movie.
Oh ... (After
debating for a long time) I think it’s different according to the person.
If it’s a person who
has lots of aegyo, I will be a bit blunt and in an opposite case, I think I
will do a lot of aegyo.
There’s a noona, I’d
become the youngest, there will be aegyo until certain level. It’s not that
there will be no aegyo at all.
Q. I think you had no experience on dating for 7 years in
reality... So how did you build Weoncheol’s emotion
First of all,
because of the relationship during the 7 years, it’s important to show the
comfort that existed through that relationship itself.
I was thankful
toward Yeonhee on that part. Since meeting for the first time, she gave sense
of comfort. I think that’s why we’re able to act that friend feels of 7 years
dating couple easily.
And there’s a part I
couldn’t understand, but because the director explained it well, I didn’t find
it difficult to do it.
Q. Lee Yeonhee also told about it when she was
interviewed. She said you have to know each other quickly because of that 7
years dating relationship.
That’s why as soon as you met for the first time, you
directly spoke to each other dropping formalities.
I was also
surprised. When meeting Yeonhee for the first time, I was sitting with the
directior, Yeonhee was in another room doing outfit feeting.
In fact, I worried
for what I should call he. I have to call her ‘Yeonhee sunbae-nim’ of course, I
have to call her ‘Yeonhee noona’, it was ambiguous. Because she’s an early
88’er.
But as soon as she
came, because she said let’s drop formalities, we did that at our first
meeting. It really helped a lot, I think we’re comfortable then.
Q. Isn’t it about treating people rudely without usual shy
phase
I think it’s not
that. She’s not the type to behave rudely to anyone.
Q. Actually does Lee Yeonhee have a personality to
approach people and firstly dropped formalities toward anyone
While other people
say “Lee Yeonhee is a timid person”, I don’t. She’s not like that to me.
Anyway, hearing such
words, I came to know that Lee Yeonhee really worked hard a lot.
Q. At recent Tenasia featured ‘Star X Star Q&A, Stars
asked Taecyeon answered’, director Hong Jiyoung asked, ‘Not praising myself,
what is the complex number one thing only I feel in my heart’
On that you answered, “There’s not many shyness though, I
think I will be nervous while doing acting, or performing on stage, if I have a
female partner. That’s why while monitoring, it’s a pity that I seem to be able
to do a little better” Why did you anwer like that, I’m curious.
As I am one-year
apart from my older sistar I don’t know but I have a caring heart.
Now you see it is
there unconciously, I think I won’t show a disrespectful side, and be more
cautios.
Seeing that at any
cost it’s a bit hard to show the thing I see in myself.
I can be friendly,
but perhaps my partner will not think well about it, I’ll be pressured inside
by myself. That didn’t happen with Yeonhee.
Q. In this movie, you worked in harmony with Lee Yeonhee
and Guzal.
Luckily it didn’t happen with Lee Yeonhee, but when
working together with Guzal it would have been pretty tensed. How was it with
Guzal
Guzal noona even
taught me Russian, we tried to get close by chatting to each other as she came
from overseas.
Q. Seeing another interview, you said you want to get
married at the age of 27. Then, what kind of marriage do you dream of.
I didn’t think about
the marriage itself seriously. I thought vaguely that it would be good if I
could do it at the age of 27.
Anyway while filming
this movie, I thought a lot about some realistic parts. I really wanted to be
like that.
If it actually
happens, I think ‘mental breakdown’ will come.
Starting from where
to go for honeymoon, respectable parents, past, etc. I think it’s much
different from the marriage I thought of.
Q. What do you want the marriage you thought to be
I thought of
building a happy family by getting marry to the person I love, but I think if
I’m going to get married in reality, a different answer will come up. (Laugh)
Q. It’s like there will be a turning point of your
thoughts.
I think yes. Because
if it’s me, I would try to change what I should do, and also I don’t know if
our mom will be akin to it.
Q. If so, amongst the couples in the movie, which couple
you give emphaty the most.
It’s not that
because it’s not yet the Marriage night, but there’s no couple I excatly
empathized. I think if the real me made Weoncheol’s decision in the movie, it
would be different.
In certain way,
Daebok (Lee Hee Jun) is similar to me. Wasn’t he able to find his opposing
parents and got down to his knees.
Q. I think there’s also a thing you couldn’t understand.
Whether there’s a
thing I unfortunately couldn’t understand the most or not.
Even Weoncheol is
kind, I couldn’t accept it that he was this unfortunate. Because I have no
experience in that.
But the people whom
I interviewed assured that such thing can happen too.
Seeing people who
have been dating for long, they could know what words to say, whether the other
is angry, or what the other likes, and what bothers them even when they don’t
say a word. That’s why they could feel it when the farewell is nearing.
That’s why I shared
a lot with the director on how I could express that.
I worried whether
the public will be able to undertand the emotion Weoncheol felt, Somi’s
decision in the end.
Actually there is a
scene which I doubted, when we’re breaking up there was a scene of Somi saying
these and those. But of course it was edited out.
Q. Like Weoncheol and Somi in the movie, if there was
such problem for real, what do you think about the decision you’ll take
I can’t see it if
it’s a realistic story. That’s why
somehow I also like this ending.
When seeing it in
reality, I went to a wedding wondering how would I be able to take it.
Impossible.
Somi’s decision
itself in a certain way is a fantasy. And if I were Somi, I think I wouldn’t be
able to go.
Q. It’s your first movie but you composed and wrote the
song directly
Many people really
don’t know the fact that I’m writing songs itself. “You wrote songs?” It’s like
this kind of situation. (Laugh)
When I first met the
director, she asked me “What are you doing lately?”
I said I composed
songs because I was filming for WGM Global version at that time. I think she
remembered it.
That’s why at the
studio I was asked how the OST would be like and was given an offer. I felt
honoured as it’s a special experience.
Because when in the
future, my first movie “Marriage Blues” is mentioned, there will be my
self-composed song in it.
I want it to also be
my benefits. Because not only acting, but I could also do this as a singer.
That’s why please sing
it a lot. (Laugh)
Q. Now that you said it yourself “The fact that I’m
writing song itself isn’t known’ as expected being really apologetically I
didn’t know (Laugh)
The song I wrote has
been quite many. It reached 10 songs. Of course, they weren’t well-known. And I
think rather that who wrote the song, who sang the song is more important.
And recently, idols
generally write songs. As expected, I’m one of them. Because I’m working hard
on writing (songs) please give attention. (Laugh)
Q. According to Lee
Yeonhee, you’re very busy. Of course, on that we asked ‘Is the condition
alright?’ and she answered that your energy is more overflowing than her, and
you adapted well at the filming site.
What do you think about
youself personally? Seems like it’s not easy since you’re having schedules
going back and forth domestic and international.
It’s tiring. No other than tiring. Even
more as I’m a newbie at the movie filming site, I was forever nervous.
I was considerate on that part, that’s why
I came to the filming site excitedly.
And I work hard for the movie but I think
I can’t show tiredness because of other schedules, that I also did
self-hypnosis.
Q. But don’t you need some adjustment. So you focused
more on each field, won’t you be able to do well. Even if you take your time
now someday you’ll be able to be worn out.
Everytime I do
acting I feel that I’m not a singer idol and while only doing acting, I take my
time.
But, I feel thankful
that I can do it with only this condition of mine. There’s no either complaint
or discontent there.
And anyone who see
it, I’m going to retrieve from my role and have a moment to recover and to do
next project
During that recovery
moment, rather than staying silent, I will work while filling it with different
things.
For now, I think
it’s a bit awkward to take my time. My body is also itching.
If I’m past 30, I
think I’ll be able to take my time.
Q. You have the image of ‘Beastly Idols’ while standing
as 2PM on the stage. On the other hand, you have consistently chosen something
far from that for drama or movie.
But on the project, even it’s tough, won’t there be a
time when you can show manly image too.
I think there are
lots of people who want that image (from me) only by seeing the scenarios I
received. (Laugh)
Not that I exclude
them, I think I’ll do it if it has interesting story and charming character.
I thought that since
at first my images were piling up, let’s not become an actor with one image.
And now I’m working
to show various sides little by little. Action is also one of them.
Q. Seems like you’ve gotten more than one scenario
focusing on Taecyeon’s manly side.
While reading them,
sometimes there’s a moment I thought, “Even this kind of things” (Laugh)
Q. But hearing and seeing it, the scenarios given to you,
whether you’re cast or not, did you read them.
At first because I
was busy from singer activities, the company decided it. Since 1~2 years ago,
every scenario which came, I asked them to show me it to me.
Whether I’m doing it
or not, I think it’s important to also read other scenarios.
Q. Although we still don’t
know till how long 2PM’s period will continue, I see that obviously it’s
difficult to do your current energetic dance in your 40~50.
I personally think
2PM won’t fall apart. Not because there’s no people dancing in their 40. That
and I think not that idols have their
share.
Although I’m
wondering about dancing and singing at 50s, now we’re dreaming about enjoying
our after 20~30 while making music.
For that, we have to
do well and receive praises for each of the field in which we have activities.
By then I think it
will be possible for us to gather together again and have music activities. If
not so, who will pay attention to us when we gather once again.
Q. Although you might be fed up with this question, how
do you compare briefly between being a singer and acting, either movie or
drama?
I think being a
singer is very interesting. You can say it’s addictive.
While preparing for
recording, sharing time with the members, having a taste of fans’ cheers, it’s
a charm you couldn’t throw away.
Drama is an
adventure when you have to find a super human energy once urgent circumstance
appeared. The energy, that show up in such circumstance through live broadcast,
is the attractive point.
For movie, I don’t
know because I haven’t tried beside this one. I think the charm (of movies) is
about the one scene which cause a lot of work to do.
Q. You’ve taken your first challenge but I thought you
have words you want to say to yourself.
At last, please give appreciation words and spurring
words.
I think I will have
to improve more. For dramas and different movie through the scenarios which can
be completed from the beginning.
Finally, even
there’s a sadness on about how much I understand and go into it, it’s the same
either for acting or my way in expressing.
If you say praise,
although I’m on the half of the beginning, first I want to praise on taking my
first step already.
And I want to say to myself to make it up and
improve.
Stars asked,
Taecyeon anwered.
Lee Yeonhee: Acting activities with singer activities’
other points or difficult points and when you act, what do you think?
Ok Taecyeon: Because
I’m still lacking of experiences, I think I am nervous much when I’m acting.
And I want to learn
the method to be freely enjoying like on the stage as soon as possible.
Baek Jiyoung: You showed a superb acting in ghost-mellow
drama ‘Who Are You’ through the role Cha Geonwoo.
You’ve reached success as a singer, and you also have
gotten a place as an actor, what is the other charm between each of singer and
actor? And is there a role you want to be cast newly?
Ok Taecyeon: I think
I’m still not enough as a singer, also as an actor.
But, I think about
new chapter to learn, and I think there are still many points I can learn as a
singer and as an actor one by one.
I’m thinking it can
be a new track, it can also be a new role.
Seowoo: I’m envious because Taecyeon always looks good
and is always overflowing with energy on acting eventhough you’re always busy
as a singer, even with overseas schedule.
If you have any secret on managing your heatlh, can you
tell us?
Ok Taecyeon: I think
it’s important to always feel interested about work. I think it’s important not
to be afraid of the way others see you and to do with the will and passion of
yourself.
Lee Joon: What food do you eat when you do bulk up
(work-out), and how long do you usually spend while working out
Ok Taecyeon: While
doing bulk up work-out don’t pick out the food and to eat anything is
important.
Especially on the
work-out days, do it for 2~3 hours and as soon as you finished, it’s also
important to eat food with high-calories.
Within 30 minutes
after eating high-calories food, the point is to intake protein.
Director Hong Jiyoung: Not praising myself, what is the
complex number one thing only I feel in my heart
Ok Taecyeon: There’s
not many shyness though, I think I will be nervous while doing acting, or
performing on stage, if I have a female partner. That’s why while monitoring,
it’s a pity that I seem to be able to do a little better.
Director Hong Jiyoung: Although it’s close in a distant
future, where will 40 years old Ok Taecyeon be and what will he be doing?
Ok Taecyeon: I think,
won’t 40 years old Ok Taecyeon probably build a family in a home.
Rather than my
current life in which I’m busy with the out-of-mind schedule, I think I’ll be
able to live while enjoying a bit more of the work I’m able to enjoy.
So E-Hyun: What’s the most difficult point while filming
the movie and I wonder which you find more interesting between drama and movie.
Ok Taecyeon: Drama
and movie are both interesting and, although it’s hard to remember it briefly,
while filming the movie, the part I regret is
While acting
together continuing many schedule, I think it’s disappointing to not be able to
do the kind of acting I thought beforehand
properly.
Kim Jaewook: You filmed dramas, you also filmed a movie.
Taecyeon who had busy time, if you can immediately have holidays, what do you
want to do?
Ok Taecyeon: I want
to go on overseas vacation with my family.
Nine Muses: Not only activities as a
singer, you are also steadily doing acting activities. Which field do you want
to grasp more?
Ok Taecyeon: I want to do well and be success in
both.
