[TRANS + PICS] 111001 Yoochun on KOSMO Newspaper in Malaysia

The Park Yoochun Territory

Brought up in the United States, Park Yoochun is also known as Micky Yoochun. His popularity has expanded beyond Korea and into Japan, and now the Yoochun fever has attacked Malaysia through his drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Unexpected Achievements
He started his career as one of the band members of DBSK or TVXQ, which was the biggest band from South Korea. Unfortunately while at the height of their popularity in Asia, Park Yoochun or Micky, together with another two band members Jae Joong and Junsu filed a lawsuit in July 2009 against SM Entertainment due to unfair contract

The court case caused TVXQ to be in hiatus and Yoochun could not partake in any public activities as a TVXQ band member

Fortunately 2010 proved to be a very good year for Yoochun when he re-appeared with a new band JYJ formed together with his other two former band members from TVXQ

Yoochun also appeared in two dramas – Beautiful Love and the successful Sungkyunkwan Scandal, which put him back in the limelight. He received seven (7) awards in various awards ceremonies in Korea thanks to Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

“ I never thought that I would receive many awards for my first drama because I think I still have a lot to learn. These awards are impactful but make me feel more pressured to do better in my next project. And it motivates me to work harder” said the 25-year-old Yoochun

Yuchoon feels very grateful for being able to play the role of Lee Seon Joon during the Joseon Dynasty in Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

“I am very grateful to Sungkyunkwan Scandal because the project came through when I was unable to perform on stage due to the lawsuit with SM Entertainment. My interest in acting also suddenly intensified during this period. But when I watch myself on the Sungkyunkwan Scandal, I was quite embarrassed because I think that I should have done much better in acting my role as Lee Soon Joon” said Yoochun

“During the filming of Sungkyunkwan Scandal, a lot of people asked me why didn’t I venture into acting much earlier. To me, the time doesn’t really matter as long as I am prepared and willing to learn. I did not act because I want to gain popularity or win awards. All those will come naturally if I can really play my character well” added Yoochun who studied in the US during high school

Yoochun received many offers and the drama that he accepted next was Miss Ripley. The series has just ended it’s airing in South Korea in July 2011. He was heard saying “After Sungkyunkwan Scandal, I received many scripts but I was so busy so I couldn’t read all the scripts that was sent for consideration. But almost always, I will usually accept projects after discussing with people close to me”

Acting or Singing
When asked which one is closer to his heart, Yoochun answered, “I like both acting and singing. I do not wish to choose which one is more important because I have been writing songs since high school. I love music very much. Even though I don’t have much free time, I will still find time to play the piano once in a while. And if I get inspired, I will immediately record the melody”

“As an actor, I am required to read and study the scripts properly. It is demanding but as soon as the filming starts, I begin to live the character. And I love both these experiences as it gives me great pleasures in life” said Yoochun

Even though his career is doing so well now, he is aware that his popularity may not last forever. Fans may grow tired of him especially when there are many new and younger artistes

Yoochun said “I always wonder how long do I continue singing and acting. I would like to put a bright smile to the faces of my mother, family, friends and fans. I want to make people who are important to me – happy” He reasoned that he wants to work hard now – “so that when my mother is old and if her health is not so good, I will be able to always be by her side to take care of her”

Girlfriend
Without concealing his desire to fall in love, Yoochun was mentioned several times about wanting to have a girlfriend. He was previously rumored to be dating Park Min Young, his co-star in Sungkyunkwan Scandal. That proved to be untrue.

“ I want to fall in love and have a girlfriend. I have never brought any girl back to be introduced to my family as my girlfriend. I wish to bring someone soon before my father’s health gets worse” said this older brother of actor Park Yoo Hwan

Yoochun also explained the type of woman that he wants as his girlfriend. He said, “I like someone who calms my heart and is a domesticated type. She also needs to be able to communicate well with people close to me especially my family members”

Translation  110922 High Kick 3’s Plagiariasm Controversy

MBC’s new daily sitcom ‘High Kick! The Counterattack of Short Legs (High Kick 3)’ has begun its 120-episode journey but has already been swept up in a plagiarism controversy.

Though only three episodes have aired since it began on the 19th, the sitcom is being attacked by netizens who have made claims that certain aspects of the show are similar to other productions. One netizen said, “The show’s copied the main flow of the famous American sitcom ‘How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM)’.”

The scene in question is the very beginning of the first episode, where a 70-year-old Lee Jeok appears on a TV program and talks about his book ‘High Kick, the Counterattack of Short Legs’, reminiscing about his past. A variety of issues are shown, including the Japanese earthquake, the democratic rallies in the Middle East and Africa, the death of Bin Laden, Twitter, Hyun Bin, the audition craze and Ahn Cheol Soo. But the part that is being criticized is the introduction that attempts to deduce who Lee Jeok’s wife is. The claim that this is exactly like the concept of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ has been shared by many netizens on Twitter as well as the viewers’ thread on the ‘High Kick 3′ webpage.

Also, in the drama, Baek Jin Hui witnesses a crime in a somnambulant state and is chased by a gang without knowing why she’s being chased. Some netizens have claimed that this is similar to Jennifer Connelly’s ‘Phenomena’ while others are claiming that it’s similar to the TVXQ fanfic ‘Happy Together’. In this piece of fanfiction, Junsu witnesses a murder in a somnambulant state and though he doesn’t remember anything about that night, he’s chased by the mafia and is later found to have multiple personalities.

Regarding this, the production company Green Snake Media stated in a conversation with Kuki news, “This is the first time we’ve heard about these plagiarism claims,” and “The happenings that go on in ‘High Kick 3′ change every day as it deals with what people go through in their daily lives, and we have a total of 240 happenings that will occur in the sitcom. We believe it would be impossible for there to be no overlapping themes with other productions with so many happenings planned.“

They also added, “There were many instances in the first and second seasons of High Kick in which similar situations were set up as parodies,” and “We just starting airing the show, we think judgment should be made after watching the show for a longer period of time.”

But some netizens have been sending online news sites material that they say is proof of the plagiarism in ‘High Kick 3′ . A representative in the broadcasting industry stated, “It would be harder to find a drama that hasn’t been swept up in plagiarism,” and “Most of these instances are small happenings or things that are only slightly touched upon, making it hard to say that they are instances of plagiarism.”

OT (or is it..?): I’ve read this fanfic before, it’s amazing T__T It’s considered one of the ‘Five Major TVXQ fanfics of all time’. It’s written in Korean and I’ve never seen a translated version of it floating around but, wow, I cried buckets reading it ;A;

News 111001 What Made “Protect the Boss” So Popular With Viewers?

[News] 111001 What made ‘Protect The Boss’ so popular with viewers?

SBS‘s ’Protect the Boss‘ seemed to come out of nowhere with its strong popularity, and many viewers who had no expectations were ultimately surprised by its quality content. But what made this drama stand out from the rest?

‘Protect The Boss’ was a feel-good drama that didn’t have any negative elements of an affair or a broken family; it also lacked a character that you loved to hate. The way that the characters caused problems in the story were endearing in their own way, and when the characters plotted against each other, the situation turned out pretty comical in the end.

For example, there was potential for ‘Cha Ji Hun’ (Ji Sung)’s ex-lover ‘Seo Na Yoon’ (Wang Ji Hye) and ‘Noh Eunsul’ (Choi Kang Hee) to get into a messy rivalry over Cha Ji Hun. But the two didn’t try to make each other’s lives miserable, and they become close friends.

Meanwhile, Cha Ji Hun and ‘Cha Moo Won’ (JYJ‘s Jaejoong) were rivals for a long time; instead of competing intensely against one other, the two fought like grade-school students. They would say things like, “I really don’t like him“, and get into scraps with one another that made the audience laugh. In reality, the two seemed like childhood friends rather than enemies.

‘Protect the Boss’ broke the mold of traditional Korean dramas, as the audience was able to relate with the more “average” and down-to-earth characters. Those who appeared to be the “bad” guy in the story actually wasn’t some horrible, irrational demon come-to-life; in the end, they were individuals who made some bad decisions, but ultimately sought happiness. The fact that these characters were relatable made the audience fall in love with the drama.

But the characters weren’t the only aspect that helped ‘Protect The Boss’ gain popularity. The main issue in the storyline didn’t lie with the characters’ conflicts with one another — it was in trying to disprove the stereotypes of being rich.

For example, Cha Ji Hun has a panic disorder, and although he is the boss, he cared very little about his job. He became a better man after meeting Noh Eunsul, but still had no ambition to take his father’s place in his company. He doesn’t want to inherit his father’s wealth, but even so, his colleagues called him mocking names like ‘Papa’s boy’. The story follows the hardships he endures before he could successfully break free from his situation.

‘Protect the Boss’ was comical and funny, and it also deconstructed the stereotypical ‘Cinderella’ story. Devoid of melancholy, excessive love, and senseless hatred, the story simply told of a person’s journey to find happiness in a relatable way.
