[Trans] 110720 Kim Jaejoong: “It Is Okay To Fall In Love Or Get Married With Older Woman“
The man who has no qualms in facing challenges, Kim Jaejoong is right now standing on a new starting point, ready to move out. The beautiful manly sexy look that always filled the stage, he is now ready to steal the viewers’ hearts with his actor look. This man who is prideful of his fair skin and charming eyes, will display his passion without a doubt.
Kim Jaejoong will be portraying the character of ‘Prince of Financial World’ Cha Mu Won in the new SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Protect The Boss’, taking over the slot of ‘City Hunter’. The term ‘Prince of Financial World’ seems to fit Kim Jaejoong very well.
In fact, when asked if there are any similarities between Kim Jaejoong and Cha Mu Won, he said that there seems to be none but still humbly replied bit by bit.
“Cha Mu Won is a very gracious person. Even though he has a very ambitious heart, he is nice to anyone and is a great character. Rather than saying it’s the similarities between me and Mu Won, why not say that it’s his traits that I wish to have. If I am able to be similar to Cha Mu Won, I would be able to exhibit his outstanding farsightedness, but it seems that there wouldn’t be such a day.”
After he replied, this makes us anticipate for this Cha Mu Won character, the Cha Mu Won that is acted by Kim Jaejoong. But if he were to be in a love triangle with Ji Sung in real life, he does not seems to have the confidence to capture Choi Kang Hee’s heart.
“Just like me, Ji Sung hyung will transform into Ji Hyun when acting starts. Although there are mutual feelings developed after getting along for a while, but during acting, there will still be loathing feelings for each other. Even loathing the relationship between him and No Eun Sul.”
In reality, Choi Kang Hee is an older woman (than him), and Kim Jaejoong thinks that dating and getting married with older woman is fine, spreading the message of his thinking that every equal ones deserves their hopes. “If I am thinking of getting married, I am able to accept ladies who are older than me by ten years old now.”
Although Kim Jaejoong has displayed his talent with Japanese actors such as Eita, Ueno Juri etc in ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’, this is his first appearance on domestic drama. Though he said that he is very nervous, the anticipation for it is rather huge too. But gladly, he was able to receive a pass for his acting from his fellow cast members, especially veteran actors like Park Young Kyu and Cha Hwa Yun who said that Kim Jaejoong “will be a successful actor in the future,” raising the anticipation.
“It was tough and there are a lot of things to learn about. I have to quickly adapt to the atmosphere at the filming site. As compared to the things I need to do, most importantly the veteran actors guided me unselfishly and that gave me a lot of strength and also gave me a lot of useful suggestions. Especially senior Park Young Kyu, even when he is already tired after a night’s filming, he would still practice the lines with me many times, allowing me to smoothly deliver the lines.”
In order to finish one episode of a drama, it is like an extreme challenge to the body. When asked if he has confidence in his body strength, Kim Jaejoong surprisingly said that he does not have much confidence and casually moved on to the next topic.
“At the filming site, filming was done in a caring and happy atmosphere, although I am not too confident with my physical strength, but I am still confident with my basic strength. I have not much confidence in overnight filming but will still worked hard for it. Afterall the seniors did not show their tired looks, I think I have to work harder for it.”
As everyone knows, Kim Jaejoong have a lot of Asian fans since his days in TVXQ. Even though his identity is now JYJ, fans are still as passionate and were curious to know what is his difference being a singer or an actor.
“Firstly, a singer stands on a stage and has to use up all of his energy within 3 hours, while an actor has to gradually spread his energy.”
He was the original airport fashionista and the airport fashion style icon, thus people were curious about Kim Jaejoong’s usual looks. To this, Kim Jaejoong gave a surprising reply, i.e. he thinks that he is not good looking. This made the staffs around screamingly said what nonsense is that.
“I think I am not good looking. I have always been straightforward and the reason why I couldn’t say that I think I am not good looking during that period of time was because it would be impolite to the fans who likes me. But I seems to be able to say this out easily now. (laughs) Maybe it’s because I wished that my fans liked me for my straightforwardness and fans who liked me for my looks will probably be minority.”
With these words, it would probably give a shock to all the fans. But such frankness is definitely his charm, and because of this, he continued to be frank. When continuing this question, he would laugh out loud at times and the unability-to-stop tone of his makes it sound so interesting.
“When I was active as a singer, the hairstyle was glamourous, there were lots of accessories, and my skin looked very fair, then I feel that I looked good. At that time, I smiled carefully with reservations. But now I feel very relaxed and sometimes when I looked at myself in the mirror, I would think, “Looks like I have to dress up a bit in order to live well!”
Debuting since 2004 and now it is not that far away from 10th anniversary, what is the difference between now and when you just debuted?
“I was able to react faster on stage now and this period of time, the environment around me changes a lot. To me, compared to the past, I was able to find that humble attitude again. It’s just that this modesty has its positive and negative side. In my case, it seems to belong to the negative side. When you feel confident, humility is a good thing but on the contrary, when you lost your confidence, humility doesn’t seems to be a benefit. I will feel that I am able to do until such par only. But I am currently working hard towards revival (of self-confidence).”
JYJ members have all tried their hands in acting and especially for Park Yoochun who passed as an actor. This appears to be Kim Jaejoong’s motivation and burden.
“I was definitely motivated and can be a burden too. As a senior in acting, Yoochun has a very good start. I am now starting and will do it earnestly.”
The ability to support him through should be his motto. Kim Jaejoong said that his own motto always changes but right now his current motto is revealed.
“And that will be strive to live and not to be greedy. Because I feel that if I am too greedy, I will be punished.”
As he has been busy, he has not been able to take a rest. Does he have any dreams? As expected, he gave an unpredictable answer. He said that he has no dreams and because once he was able to do the things today with his best effort, then he will be able to feel the passion and self-confidence.
“I don’t have dreams and stuffs like that. The aim kept changing and if I were to set an aim now, that I would only think about that aim. I hope to work harder to be luckier and because of fans’ love, I want to do everything to the best that I could. There will be new targets time to time and if I were to work hard towards the aim, then dream would become reality.”
Lastly Kim Jaejoong did not forget to promote his new drama and with this new starting point, what dazzling beginning will he present to us? The anticipation starts now.
“My hope is that the viewer ratings will be able to reach 50% (laughs). Our drama can be watched by a variety of age group from teens to middle and old aged, therefore please give us your love and support.”

Jaejoong, I am glad that you are not self-centered. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, and your attraction may be beyond your own comprehension. That is normal and good, because contrived beauty has no appeal. Your beauty lies inside of you and peeks out from within. The test is are you attractive without make-up and fine clothes? Yes, you are, especially when you smile and move naturally. Your eyes then reveal your inner soul. Jaejoong is not outer but inner. Remember that and allow others to judge your appeal. Momma Cha
He was wonderful in this interview, so intense when he spoke of his new job yet never self-centered or vain. By all means, Jae, be as vain as you like (because unlike you, I think you have the right to be!) – I shan`t mind. But our Jaejoong definitely is a lot more than a handsome face. He is intelligent and eloquent, and he always provide something interesting for our minds as well as for our eyes. We love him very much, right?
And how are you all coping with the heat and with life in general, my friend? I saw you had made a comment, but when I went back in to reply to it, it was gone. Maybe the heat is getting to WP as well. Many thanks for stopping by all the same. I know how busy you have been. ^^
Hi YF. Thank you for stopping here, also. The heat finally broke two days ago, but be praying please–they are saying that we’re due for another round the latter part of this week. Tuesday was like living in a sauna, 100% humidity and a 110 degree heat index.
The weather center was asking the elderly not to venture outside. people die in these circumstances. Down south the merchants have been giving away air conditioners and fans. Life over money. Take note SM.
As to our gentle warrior, Kim Jaejong, I thought that this was an especially good interview also. Jae has a way of phrasing things that makes so much sense. They all do. He goes from project to project and it doesn’t seem to matter how well he does with the previous one–he still doubts his ability for the new work. This will keep him humble–I understand this. I am the same way.
It’s called The Peter Principle.
No matter how much you know, there is always something new to learn.
I wish him well on his new role with Protect the Boss.
When you look at yourself in a mirror, what you see is not what other’s see. You do not see yourself animated, smiling, laughing, moving, turning, gesturing..Those things other people get to see, and there lies the difference between your own perceptions and the perceptions of those around you. Jae can be gawky, all elbows and knees, but that is part of his charm. Those moments when we glimpse his smile, and one of my favorite things, his crazy impromptu dancing and clowning.
I was looking at some of the Canada vacation footage, and this is where I glimpse the real Jaejoong; full of play and joy to be relaxing away from it all. Yes, we love him very much.
Right now I am caught up with summer activities for the women’s group, helping Christina with her applications and financial package for school, and on top of that–Dad and I are on a juice fast. Mine is modifed, I tend to low blood sugar, but John has taken to this well and has lost 20 lbs since Monday. His vitals are good, so onward. Love, Cha
