저기….진심으로 미안한것들이 많았어요…그냥 고마워요 아무리 자려 눈을감아도 오늘은 마음이 감기질않네요….고맙습니다…많이…
[TRANS] There…. are a lot of things that I’m sincerely sorry about…Just, thank you. No matter how I close my eyes to try to sleep, my heart won’t close up today….I’m thankful…a lot…
After Jaejoong, it is the turn of Yoochun 박유천 from the army to perform his military service.
Among his last official activities, he did a photo session with the magazine “Marie-CLaire”.
Haider Ackermann by BoonTheShop, Kimseoryong man, Burberry Prorsum, Daniel Andresen by 10 Corso Como and even Dolce & Gabbana are among the brands that he wears to illustrate this concept “Goodbye”. In the interview also comes online, it is the point on the year that has just ended and evokes more of his professional career, but also his expectations for his personal life.
There is exactly one month [before your departure to the Army]. You have finished most of your official activities. Do you have free spirit now that everything is finished?
This is not really like that that I feel.
You have cried during your recent fanmeeting in the Japan.
My tears were not because I’m leaving the army. I was just moved because it is more than 10 years I do activities in the Japan and I remembered this day there’s all these moments and I cried. So far, the surprises that fans were prepared for me took me to court and the only thing I had in mind was the recognition that I owe them, but this time, I found my just magnificent fans. I think that’s why I shed tears.
You have accumulated some good and less good memories and moments have built your life as and. What is your most beautiful memories to this day?
When we signed with our current agency, we all went on a trip to Australia. At the time, I told myself that I had to work hard without me question so that everything goes well and I remember this period with very fond memories. And even today, I’m still working happily. With the other members of the group, we cannot see us often, but our relationship has absolutely not changed. Having started, I am forced for a time to be solemn and having the cool air all the time. My life followed a well-defined schema. Then I told myself to be as it was losing ground little by little. Today, I found the ordinary man that I am.
Having to stop your activities for a moment does scare you off it?
I wanted to make a pause of 3 or 4 years one day or the other in my career. I think that this period without professional activity will be a period that will be beneficial to me.
Have you ever imagined the fact all stop completely?
Of course. Telling me “I quit everything and I’m going to Ibiza” (laughs)! Sometimes me tell me I want to go without a specific destination and lead a regular life. Eat a homemade dishes and some time later, having children I banished to school, my children to school, accompany them to their sports competitions, this kind of life. Things will naturally and I can probably lead this life someday, is not it?
You have always conducted a life under the spotlight. You are not concerned about the fact of not knowing if you will fall into oblivion when you stop your activities for a while?
Even if I fall into oblivion, I think that I live well. I made my debut in the song when I was a teenager, and then I also started an acting career, so I think that I got my place, large or small, but that will still be there. I think it is selfish to hope that people do not, forget me despite the passing of time. Fall into oblivion when the time came is done naturally.
You have received many awards and you have received a lot of love. Do you have any regrets?
Absolutely no. I have never had any regrets. I lived by taking advantage of life for my age. I have no ambitions at the base. If I want to talk about “great ambitions”, it would be the ambition from place to establish a home? (laughs) I think today have done really is much more than what I dreamed when I was a kid. That my family always find something to eat by opening the refrigerator door, she eats meat. My mother to buy a car, buy a car for my little brother, I had this kind of dreams. It looks like they all become reality.
You started teenager, you crossed the twenty to hundred per hour and you have 30 years. That is what has changed in the meantime?
The days where I drink alcohol, I struggled to recover the next day. (laughs) When I was in my twenties, I really drank much. It even happened to me drinking a pack of soju per day 46 days in a row. It’s just that I like alcohol. But I’m never drunk. Jaejoong was on leave recently and we went drinking together. According him, one hears more nothing from 10 pm because it folds early army. I love alcohol, mas I like to observe people who drink in discussing. Oddly, I feel a kind of comfort when I hear the conversations of the daily lives of these people. I like me saying, “this is the world in which I live”.
I wonder what gives the image of a Park Yoo Chun in a bar.
If there is a problem, I get to talk much. If someone is doing something it shouldn’t and I make him the note and two people are in conflict, I try to reconcile them.
Do you have any regrets from something you have not managed to do?
There are many things that I have not managed to do. Review my father in his lifetime. See it when he was still alive. This is what I think. I really regret not having had the courage to review.
This year will be probably considered to be a year for you. I mean you have received many awards for the film “Sea Fog” released last year. The reactions about your drama “Girl Who Sees Smells” were good and then you stop completely all your activities. I think that “Sea Fog” will especially be a unforgettable project.
I think that I cannot watch this movie again. My way of playing is really weird. Recently, I was at home and I said to myself ‘and if I tried to watch it again’, but I dropped. The character of Dong Sik that I embodied in “Sea Fog” was really not an easy to play character. It was an ambiguous character behaviour difficult to interpret, even with a clear idea in mind. During the 6 months where I lived as Dong Sik, I expressed some things naturally, but to other aspects, I had to force myself to bring out what was express to give relief to the character. I did raise my level of concentration-200% during the filming of “Sea Fog”. During these six months, even at times where I was not shooting I’m never out of my character. What’s funny, is that there are many things that I have no recollection on this period. As I lived completely as Dong Sik, I think many of my other memories have disappeared.
You have recently completed the filming of “Lucid Dream”.
It was for a special appearance, so I do not have a lot of scenes. As it was not me who was advancing the story, I had more apprehension. I thought that should be absolutely that my scenes are a help for this film. Even if it is only slightly and although my screen time is short, I had to show my character with insurance. For this reason, I like this type of secondary roles or small roles.
Do you mean that you are used to play a lead role?
I think that it is not necessary that I should absolutely be the main character. I want to say that I played a lot so far and I wanted to also try this experiment which did not happened to me often.
Conversely, “Girl Who Sees Smells” gave the impression that you have left out many things. You also know laugh.
Almost a year has elapsed between the end of the drama, “Three Days” and the beginning of “Girl Who Sees Smells”. I guess it is for this reason that I have had trouble with the camera at the beginning of the filming of “Girl Who Sees Smells”, I was mad with concern. I think that’s because it’s been a long time that I had not played. After a while, I ended up get used. “Girl Who Sees Smells” did not ask for a set of intense player, so it was fun to do. I really enjoyed the shooting. I sent an SMS to Se Kyung yesterday. I told him ‘I watched ‘My Little Television’. Your name remains long sought, not keywords?” (laughs). It’s been fun to keep in touch with the actors with whom we worked. I always look at what (Han) Ji Min and everything goes well also with Woo Shik. It makes me happy.
You stop your activities for a period of more than 2 years. What thing would you like to see dissipate after?
The popularity. Even if I’m not the type to hang to the popularity, I want to be more free than today ‘ today, starting with the popularity. I want to live by playing roles that I want to play and doing the music I wanted to do. I do work on today to live this way, but with the passing of time, I think probably more so. And the things I want to do changing also, is not it? I want to free myself from what is seen and know a smooth descent. As show, actually, “this is how I want to go down”. Ten years, 20 years, regardless, I want that things will end well after a descent smoothly. If not of incident, the descent will be fine, is not it? But if there is an incident, the descent can be done in two hours. (laughs)
Is there something you want to do more?
I want to show a good game of actor. I’m both actor and singer, but I think what he did y none of these two things that I do really well. It was a matter of timing and luck, so the fact that I give the impression of being good is only because I redouble efforts. For example, I’ve shot scenes where I really cry. It seems that I am gifted to do it because I really focused to put me to cry, but I think that I am not someone who is gifted for this actor set. I want to try to embody a character without relief. I mean a character that is very ordinary.
Your military service will begin soon. Is this the end of the first half of your life?
I have the impression that the first half will be finished only when I have reached the second. I think I’m about to enter a long period of extension. I do not know if I’m exhausted because I started working when I was young. It is obvious that I enjoyed this period where I worked, but why this feeling is there? This feeling of emptiness after having been under the spotlight. I think I want to find this common aspect, I really try to find to fill this void.
It is a somewhat premature question, but I ask when even because you will probably not have the opportunity to do some interviews for a while. In your opinion, what memories will leave you this year?
The year of my triumph of 8 Awards? (laughs) The force given to me by the staff who helped me this year, and fans who were present. I think it’s a year that helped me because I had any more energy. This is a year that I remember as the year where I felt recognition.
What will you do on the eve of your entry to the army?
Yoochun has been nominated for yet another Best New Male Actor Award for his role in HaeMoo and I'm so proud of him and also very thankful. Yesterday's fan-meet was absolutely amazing and I will make sure to make a post about that too.
