Cover Feature 2PM Taecyeon
Striking
towards a new world as an actor now
Who Are You INTERVIEW
The titled fantasy mellow which is full of
suspense elements, thriller, etc, “Who Are You”
An interview of.... 2PM Taecyeon who had
his first lead role in the drama, where he acted Cha Geonwoo, a tough and
sometimes cute hot blooded police detective who protected the female main role,
and he is now taking a big step forward as an actor!
Though the filming had come to an end by now... Was Geonwoo a
worthy role?
The filming was about 3 months but I
enjoyed it and I felt how time flew quickly. I also feel that the whole thing
finished for the drama was worthy.
Yesterday I came to share a ‘You’ve worked
hard!’ cheer and the sense of accomplishment together with the casts (laughs).
I also felt that it was a worthful role.
There was an interesting scene in the
second episode. In the scene where Geonwoo, who went to find Shion who was
abducted by the culprit, was going to shoot that culprit but his boss, Shion
took the gun and fired it by herself. I find this surprising new turn as an
interesting scene.
This scene was one of my reason in accepting
the casting.
Geonwoo, that
was acted by Taecyeon, was a man who can rely on his sense of justice
Geonwoo is a police detective who shows
actions more than words, through that setting, he acted desperately in
protecting his boss Shion somehow.
He was once again born through a cool role
as the mellow part came out in the drama.
Please tell a similarity and a difference
between you and Geonwoo.
The common thing between us is that we
don’t believe in ghosts. That character of him was told in the beginning of the
story and it resembles me.
The difference is that Geonwoo loves only
one woman and expresses an affections only about that woman. I’m not
expressive, so that’s the difference.
Was there any significant thing or something that you prepare to
act Geonwoo?
I was nervous in the beginning because
there are more various aspects on this role than the ones I’ve taken until now
I talked about that in 2PM. It is a
character with a little bounded high tone.
In my first appearance scene, it was a
scene where I had to look at the mirror while showing different faces like
Janus... it was hard.
I thought it’s important to show natural
expressions in the least.
I discovered a similar mischiveous part of
Geonwoo when I turned myself into Geonwoo. I was mindful in acting the role.
Was there any interesting thing or difficult thing during the
filming?
A scene where a high school student who attempted to jump
from the building and Geonwoo saved him using the handcuffs.
That we filmed that scene using wire was
difficult already but I was also filmed while being handcuffed so I had to be
in a very tiring position until the end.
I thought it would be fine if we didn’t use
handcuff but it couldn’t be helped (laughs)
As Geonwoo was a chatterbox in
the drama that he just wants to deliver everything in words. But he can’t
express his own love
Taecyeon, can you know your own heart/feeling?
Are you one to express that feeling of yours in words? Or through actions?
Is there a person who doesn’t know his own feeling?
(Laughs) Even so, I’m not one to express that. I wait for time to solve it
How was it to be cast together with So E-hyun?
She is my great senior in acting and she
led me on. She told me various acting methods and pointed out my lacking
points. I was really happy.
How did you spend your waiting time on the
set? Joking around...?
I also joked around. As expectedly I was
nervous in the beginning but we were able to get closer while we met everyday
for the filming
Although it seems like you receive an acting leadership, the most
memorable advice?
Rather than doing things specifically, she
told me the method to act naturally. Because there were many scenes that
involves my feelings and So E-hyun noona, she cared for me to be able to act
comfortably
A scene you on which you had the most NG?
A scene where I got treated with
acupuncture. It was a scene of Shi-on treating Geonwoo with acupuncture after
solving their first case, and it took a long time to film it.
Because it was an important scene where the
two persons’ love started.
Shi-on was furious that she made an approach toward police
detective Moonshik, acted by Kim Changwan, after knowing that Moonshik was
Hyungjoon’s murderer.
How would it be if it were Taecyeon?
If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to meet
Shi-on. Because I would fully feel as a traitor. I will have to settle my
emotions for a bit
How was it with your senior Changwan, and No
Younghak who acted the role Seungchan?
In senior Kim Changwan senior’s case, I
learned a lot of things by seeing his natural acting.
For Younghak, I had a nice feeling from the
beginning. There was an atmosphere like ‘Tom and Jerry’. I’m the Tom.. becoming
a student at all times (laughs)
In this dram’s triangular love affair, you’re
related to the female main role’s lover in the past. What would it be if
Taecyeon were in such situation?
I think I won’t feel comfortable when I’m
still under the shadow of my past lover.
I think it’s possible that Geonwoo and
Shion were not “ordinary lovers” in the drama.
<The inestimable story development and
the triangular love affair are the charms>
What do you think about a lively and brave woman like Shi-on?
Taecyeon’s ideal type is?
My ideal type is a woman who converses
well. A lively and independent woman who can do things on her own is good.
But first of all, the most important thing
is to converse.
Taecyeon of course expresses varied
expressions live too. Is there any expression in the drama that you want to
recommend or if you’re to choose an act?
Although I don’t think there’s any specific
expression I’d like to recommend... Hmm.. Right...
But if I have to pick one, in the final
episode there was a setting of the time after 6 months later. The two persons
who met after taking their time. Please pay attention about Shi-on’s emotion
that time
Is there any advice from 2PM members on
Taecyeon’s acting and work or do they give their impressions?
There’s nothing about specific
impressions, but they just say “I watched it”.
They don’t purposely monitor and say something like “See
this part here...” in a way.
I think that is our members’ style and supporting way. I
don’t comment on whether it’s good or bad.
What does Taecyeon do?
Of course I’m supporting them too. If it’s
possible, I go to support anyone who has his solo activities...
Ahh... But recently I couldn’t go to
support Junho, because I had no time...
It’s too bad
You’re doing music activities and acting activities in 2PM... How
was it?
Certainly it’s hard but because they are
jobs that I love to do and although I have many all-nighters, I’m enjoying it.
A thing as an actor that affects music for you?
When I act, I’m able to feel
various emotions I can’t usualy experience. I think it can give a good
influence on expressing the emotions in music.
Although you have a packed schedule but you manage to do well with
filming, is there a secret of it?
Eating and resting well? Something like
eating certain dish... Seems like there’s no specific secret
The police uniform you wore in the drama fits you well. Is there
any occupation you want to try acting in the future? Any outfit and costume you
want to try to wear as an actor?
I don’t have a particular adoration and
vision on uniform. I also wore school uniform and brewery’s outfit, and now I
wore police uniform too.
I don’t have certain occupation I want to
try acting. I think the important thing is how charmning the character or the
story is.
If ghosts exist, is there someone you’d like to meet?
Although I don’t believe in ghosts... I
want to meet my grandmother who has passed away.
She passed away when I was in my first year
in elementary school. Although I don’t quite remember her face now, I
remembered how she loved me so much.
Eventhough I remember my grandmother just
by seeing her photo... when I was young, she said to me to be tall while
looking at me
Now I want to show this tall figure of mine
to my grandmother.
The drama’s charm and interesting stuff?
The
inestimable story development is the charm. A common drama or film usually
progress on one determined way, this drama is full with turns of events. The
triangle relationship romance is also impossible to predict, a drama that makes
us wondering about the next part development.
