<Bad Guy> Kim Jaewook, “A strong connection with Japan continues”
《坏男人》金在旭,“与日本的强烈关系继续着”
<Bad Guy> is a work that has the potential for huge success in various ways. Personally, your type of character, Taeseong, is one that we have all come to know clearly well; it is important that you be able draw out a fascinating personality different from the kind of third generation* conglomerate’s son we’ve seen. Did you put anything together for the Taeseong character?
Ha ha ha. Wouldn’t it be that all the characters have to be well portrayed that the drama and the character, Taeseong, within it be well portrayed as well? For me, instead of being concerned about how to portray the third generation conglomerate’s son, I’m thinking deeply about the person “Hong Taeseong.” Rather focusing on what he has externally, the things that are found internally, Hong Taeseong’s personal and family relations; I’m trying to portray his personal story. So if he will be seen as a third generation conglomerate’s son or not, I’m not sure. I guess the people who watch can decide.
What’s it like working with Kim Namgil?
He is a great seonbae, and a hyeong I can trust and follow. While filming in Japan, he has said a couple times that he thinks that I’m fortunate to have many friends who can help me. He said that it was a “relief to work with this kind of an actor.”
Watching the shoot on February 21st, all day long, you were running, and running, and running. It must have been pretty difficult. While shooting the Japan portion, can you recall any particular incident that happened?
That day we were primarily shooting episodes five and six. Taeseong was rather busy at that time. To be honest, I was disappointed that I couldn’t really practice ahead of time to better show Taeseong, as he is the son of a leading conglomerate in Korea, being skilled in tennis and golf. Also in Japan there were some chasing scenes. It was dead tiring running on marble floors in dress shoes. I fell about twice, hurting both of my knees. There was also a scene in which I was walking endlessly with Jaein in a snowfield. Since the snow was deep in that part of Japan, the legs would sink deeply all the way up to the knees. There were a lot of laughs.
2/21拍在日本的场景。。是第5/6集的。。在日本有很多追逐的场景,穿着皮鞋在大理石地上跑累死了,我跌了2次,膝盖都受伤了。还有和在仁在雪地裏无止尽的走的场景,因为日本那边雪很深,我们的腿都陷到膝盖,惹来好多笑声。
In <Coffee Prince, the 1st branch>, you had the role of Seongi, who had come to Korea after living in Japan. This year you also filmed the joint Korea-Japan mobile drama <Pygmalion’s Love> by Director Kim Yuncheol. And for <Bad Guy> you came to Japan for filming. Somehow it seems that you have a strong connection with Japan.
It’s not like there are many Korean actors who are fluent in Japanese. I think that through the Korean Wave and more, Korean cultural contents have spread to various countries, making it easier for Korean actors to find more work in different areas within Asia. In many ways, I guess I do have connections with Japan. Just that, whenever I film in Japan, it does get a little tiresome when many people ask me to be the interpreter. Ha ha.
You are active in many ways as a model, actor, and musician. Do you plan to continue working like this in the future? If you were to pick just one activity, what would it be?
Being active in different things, I get this question a lot. But, honestly, I don’t know myself. Because there are things I want to do, I put in the effort to get there. I’m just glad that I got the opportunity to be involved those ways. Presently, I want to successfully finish filming <Bad Guy>. When I’m finished with this work, I want to be more actively involved in <Walrus> (the band Kim Jaewook belongs to).
*Looks like the counting is different in the Korean system. But kept it for the sake of the article. We know that Hong Taesung is President Hong’s son, legitimate or otherwise.
