News 110617 Park Yoochun Proves Star Power on TV Screen

[News] 110617 Park Yoo-chun proves star power on TV screenWhether singing, acting, or narrating, he guarantees Asia-wide promotion. K-pop star Park Yoo-chun, who is taking on his second major TV drama, is proving his star power, as the show has drawn big attention both in the country and overseas.

The MBC drama “Miss Ripley,” in which Park plays an heir to a resort empire, had already been exported to Japan and the U.S. before it was finished, in a deal worth 1.8 billion won ($1.6 million). The chances are high that it will enter markets of China and Southeast Asian countries soon.

In Korea, the drama is the most watched one among Monday-Tuesday evening TV dramas, reaching high viewer ratings since its first episode. As many of his fans are Japanese, the drama website provides Japanese language service for the drama.

Park Yoo-chun (MBC)

Although he achieved fame as a singer at the boy band TVXQ and later JYJ, his acting has earned him even more popularity.

His previous drama, KBS’ “Seongkyunkwan Scandal,” which portrayed student life in the Joseon period, also attracted great viewership and won him the rookie actor of the year award at the Korea’s Paeksang Arts Award. His choice for playing a historical character for the first time has surprised many, but he later received praise for his acting.

He also narrates MBC documentary “The Hometown Where I Used to Live,” which airs on June 17. The MBC staff figured Park’s soothing voice would fit the concept of the documentary, depicting disappearing rural villages under the influence of urbanization in Korea.

“Miss Ripley” airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 9:50 p.m. on MBC and “The Hometown Where I Used to Live” will air Friday at 11:05 p.m.

News Yoochun Interview on Ripley, Acting, and Yutaka

Park Yoochun: “To Worry About Acting is Happy” and Enjoyable

Park Yoochun has stepped out to transform his character into a warm “city male” Yutaka in the new MBC Monday-Tuesday drama “”Ripley.”

Park Yoochun visited the Ilsan MBC Dream Center to shoot the posters for “Ripley.” He made live the attraction of untaintedness and city-like sophistication of Yutaka with a white suit that was highlighted in black on the collars.

Park Yoochun introduced his character as follows: “If Lee Sunjoon of ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ is a someone who is clumsy at expressing his feelings and whose structure is similar to a (question with a) definite objective answer, then Yutaka in “Ripley” is a man whose emotions are full and has no hesitation in expressing them, similar to a (question with a) subjective answer.”

Continuing, Park Yoochun revealed his enthusiasm: “I learned from the previous work that it is a very difficult thing to be absolutely absorbed in the character. However, the time that I spent fiercely worrying about the character was truly a happy and enjoyable one. I am excited at the thought of being able to show a different image.”

At the time of the poster shooting, Park Yoochun devoted himself to the shooting until the last moment even though he had not fully recovered from his run to the emergency room due to the acute enteritis, and so received a round of applause from the staff on set.

At the same time, “Ripley” in which Lee Dahae, Kang Hyejung, and Kim Seungwoo appear along with Park Yoochun has as its background a hotel in the city of the 21st century that leads the economy and the market for cultural fashion. It handles work, love, and the splendored success and the failures, and the desires and the loves of the men which are hidden in them. This authentic melodrama first airs on the coming 30th at 9:55PM.

Yoochun, from popular Kpop group Tohoshinki and JYJ attracted a lot of attention with his first drama acting challenge, “Sungkyunkwan Scandal.” The full set of DVDs were released for sale on 22 April, and Song Joong Ki, who played the role of playboy “Gu Yongha” in the popular “Jjalgeum Quartet” talks about the difficulties during production as well as episodes with Yoochun.

(Song Joong Ki) talked about Yoochun, who challenged acting for the first time in the same project, saying “He (asked for and) got a lot of advice.” “He’s an impressive guy (laughs), but to say that he got “acting advice” is a bit too much. Yoochun may be a rookie actor, but he has a solid position in the music industry as a singer, so I didn’t want to hurt his pride. But when he was told various things, he would be really thankful and accept it, which was unexpected. From then on, we would ask each other questions, and we could do our work comfortably and well.
