====INTERVIEW====
Interviewer: How was your feeling when you received offers to attend Japanese drama as Jiu?
L: Honestly,I was surprised. At first I was worried if I could do well or not,but I made my mind up to do my best for looking around what I have done so far. I’m very glad it’s a chance to introduce INFINITE throughout “JIU”.
Interviewer: You made debut as an actor before as singer.
L: I try to act regularly for the first time,this could be my new challenge. Firstly I thought singing and acting are totally different,but they’re same on the point of “telling my emotions” and “making people impressed”. Anyway I will do my best as hard as possible.
< Jiu is good at dynamic vision&reflexes. He is killer with blonde,natural born lack of feeling pain. Acting Jiu will be hard work,because Jiu have sad story behind his childhood,though he looks hard-boiled. >
Interviewer: What are you always trying in acting?
L: Jiu is superficially cool,mysterious character with lonely heart. Although he has something little bit similar to me,it’s hard to act because he’s a person opposite from me. In the meantime I would like to express his hidden sadness in coolness and his “real face”. I have less dialogue,I hope I could express strong power,hate and sadness as much with my glance.
Interviewer: How do you feel acting with your hair blonde?
L: In fact this is first time to dye my hair blonde. Please look forward to watch me,it will suit for me in my own special way. (LOL)
Interviewer: What kind of impression about Meisa Kuroki&Mikako Tabe,who act together?
L: Both of them are really beautiful,I’m glad to work with them. Ms.Kuroki is chic&cool,Ms.Tabe gives me cute impression. I might get some tense if I have been chased by them. (LOL) I heard Ms.Kuroki likes action scene. I’m good at using weapons and wire action,I want to do my best,never lose to her.
< At a glance,L looks cool and stoical. Unexpected,he is cute when he obediently answers questions about his private life. >
Interviewer: This is your first visit for Japan,so what is your impression like?
L: I think people walking around town,whose fashion is individual. When I went to Shibuya I saw person with his(her) hair permed and dyed red,I thought “In Japan people have their own individuality”.
Interviewer: Which Japanese food do you like most?
L: This time I went to Shibuya&Harajuku,I ate Udon twice. I like Kitsune-Udon(*Thick deep-fried Tofu on Udon) and Ebiten-Udon(*Fried shrimp on Udon),but Kake-Udon(*most simple Udon with soup&some green onion) is most delicious. In kind of Sushi,I like Inari-zushi(*Rolled rice by deep-fried Tofu) and Ebi(*Shrimp). Wasabi?(*Kind of spice,Japanese horseradish) It makes me tingling. (LOL)
Interviewer: Where do you go if you have dating with girlfriend?
L: If I have girlfriend,in Japan we go to Disney Land and in the night I want to show her night view from top of Tokyo Tower. In Korea we play in Lotte World and climb up Soul Tower. It’s same either in Japan or Korea. (LOL)
Interviewer: What is your favorite Japanese drama? Who is your favorite Japanese actor?
L: I like Takuya Kimura in “Pride”(2004) and Shun Oguri in “Boys over Flowers”(2005).
Interviewer: How about actress?
L: Above Korean actress,I like Kim Taehee-ssi. Above Japanese actress,I like Meisa Kuroki-san. Kuroki-san’s natural impression is good.
(*’ssi’ & ‘san’ same mean as ‘Ms.’)
Interviewer: If you compare yourself to animals,what would be it?
L: I’m debating because I never think of that. Hmmm chameleon or something? In meaning of changing colors as environment,I have lots of faces maybe. Sometimes I’m calm and gentle,otherwise I make noise when I’m happy. I want to be ever-changing as actor, like chameleon.
Interviewer: What is the source of your name “L”?
L: There’s nothing special meaning,I like something on “L” letter. “L” of “Lovely”,”L” of “Lion”…you can make more imagination,so I like it. It’s like chameleon.
Interviewer: What’s your most attractive feature?
L: My personality likes to “make an effort”. I made debut in Korea 1 year ago,I definitely feel my growing up. As for acting,I might have something lack on me at first,I would like to show clearly my growing up.
Interviewer: What is INFINITE’s target in the future?
L: We were picked out at audition then we take as good rival each other. And we have been making effort,so I hope we could continue to do that hereafter.
Interviewer: By the way,who is your rival in members?
L: Although I don’t think so,Sungyeol said “My rival is this man(L) in side of my face” on radio show some days ago. I think he’s more good-looking than me. (LOL) It’s childish to be conscious of him. (LOL) He’s very pure and good boy!
Interviewer: Please give message to Japanese fans.
L: In this summer I will see you as Jiu,and also as L of INFINITE. You can find new attractiveness on me because of synergistic effect of singer&actor. Please keep watching at me. And,please love me a lot! I love you so much!
