Thanks to sis marikoo for posting this at soompi!
Lee Ji Ah, Bae Yong Joon and Moon SO Ri
It's obvious that he's close to Moon So Ri compared to Lee Ji Ah.
hmmmm....Is it because of the rumors a while back that he's dating Lee Ji Ah?

"Let's meet BYJ!...Japanese media (showing) hot interests'
In the afternoon on 4, at the NHK Hall in Tokyo, media conference commemorating the airing of the drama 'TWSSG' was held.
In the conference attended by Director Kim Jonghak, BYJ, Moon Sori, and E Ji Ah, person who got attention by far was the hope of Hallyu BYJ. BYJ, in neat black suits, greeted Japan's local reporters with his characteristic tender and bright smile.
In this conference, over 300 teams, which is an extent that it is not no exaggeration to say that all media in Japan had attended, came to the conference venue, and had heated competition in news gathering. A source in the NHK was amazed at local media's interests that turned on BYJ, saying that "This is the largest sized reporing crew in history and this is very much extraordinary phenomenon."
Mr. Sawai, a reporter from monthly 'TeleLife' who came there for news gathering, was also struck with admiration saying that "In media conference in Japan, about 100 people gather at maximum and even if any famous foreign actors come, it is very rare for over 20 cameras from groundwave stations come for news gathering."
The questions from the media crew also were concentraged on BYJ. To a question asking his most favorite place among the filming sites for the drama, he told beaty of Jeju Island to Japanese news crew by saying "That is Jeju Island, (It is) the most beautiful island in Korea and it has good air quality. Although the filming was difficult, I was able to work with joy thanks to wonderful scenaries.".
Also to a rather nagging question, "Which do you prefer when embracing your lover, from behind or from the front", commenting scenes of embracing Kiha and Suzini in the drama, he answered smiling sheepishly, "I think that it is good to embrace from the front."
BYJ answered sincerely while writing memos as it he would not miss even a single question from the reporting crew, and he also made the news gathering crew laugh by saying that "As my memory power is gradully coming down lately so that I have to talk by reading memos."
The media conference proceeded consistently in full of harmony. In the end of the media conference, BYJ, by introduing the 'TWSSG' by saying that "It is the drama with genuine sentiment, containing people's true heart and their love," and finished the occasion by asking Japanese fans interests in and love for the drama.
The 'TWSSG' is being aired at 11 PM on every Saturday on NHK at present.
BYJ, who set out official activity, begining with 'TWSSG' Premium Event on 1, after visiting Japan on past 30, will finish his schedule in Japan with the filming of commercial for the Japanese eyeglasses brand 'Megane Ichiban', with whom he contracted for the third time, as his last event

BYJ "I wish for a leader like Damdeok
[Hangyere]6/4/08 19:49
I think Damdeok, whom I played, is probably the leader in this time whom we need in this time."
Actor BYJ (35. Photo), visiting Japan to promote history fantasy drama 'TWSSG', which is airing on ground wave 'general channel' af NHK, public broadcasting station in Japan at present, opened his talks with 'Theory on leaders' at a media conference that was held at NHK Studio in Tokyo on 4.
He said, "Damdeok, although he had power, was an open person, who was able to communicate horizontally (on the same level) with any person." I heard as if he also wanted to say something in a situation where current president of Korea is driven away from all his people due to absence of attitude to communicate in 3-months of his inauguration.
To a question comparing the character in the drama and actor BYJ, he told, "Although he cannot be compared to me because he was historically existed person, and he was so much great figure, I feel like that there are coinciding part from a point of feeling responsibility."
Also, to a question that the two people seems to be similar from the point that they feel much loneliness, BYJ showed smile saying, "I am not lonely because I have many friends around me, whom I can entrust with." Moon Sori, Kiha character, who was listening BYJ's talks next to him, mildly refuted that.
"When I was amazed at the sight of sunrising while I filmed in Jeju Island, Mr. BYJ, rather than my husband, suddenly flashed upon me. 'Damdeok, Yon-sama could not watch such a wonderful scene like this. He has to stay inside room all the time', I felt sorry for Mr. BYJ."
This drama is not gathering such a big interests as the 'Winter Sonata'(Original drma 'WLS'). which ignited Hallyu boom in Japan as BYJ appeared in it. Although the 'Winter Sonata' recorded (viewing rate at) 20% when it aired its last episode in 2005, current drama, on air since past April from past April is known to have stayed at a single digit viewing rate.
Kim Jonghak PD, who also attended the interview, said that "Because it is a Korean history drama, there seem to have been parts that were a little difficult to understand (for Japanese TV viewers)," and "However, as remaining portion from now on is a little easy content and as there are also interesting parts, please watch it a little more."
Being different from cooling down of fever for the Hallyu dramas in japan, popularity for Yon-sama is staill hot. To the media conference on that day also, over 300 Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Taiwanese reports flocked in, and around the media conference venue, several hundreds fans have waited from several hours before to see BYJ's face. Some fans even sneaked themselves into the media conference venue. Also, at the fan meeting held in Osaka on past 1, 35,000 took seats fully, and some fans shed tears of deep emotion.
His sincere and tender attitude also was same as before. He never lost smile from start to finish while interviewing, and he wrote reporters' questions bringing out memo pad.
