On September 16th at 3 pm., Park Yuchun, a member of JYJ who flew to Thailand, held a press conference at the Siam Kempinski Hotel and was ready to be interviewed before a ’2012 Park Yuchun Asia Tour Fan Meeting in Bangkok’ will be held on the evening of the same day at the Royal Paragon Hall, Siam Paragon. Today, Park Yuchun let Thai press interview him personally with a fun-filled atmosphere.
Q: How did it feel having fanmeetings in a lot of countries already?
YC: This is the second time I get a chance to hold a fanmeeting in Thailand. I’ve been to a lot of countries in Asia before this. I’ve met with fans in many places. Good memories received from fans in every country. I’m happy I get to hold a fanmeeting in Thailand this time around as well.
Q: This is practically a one-year anniversary of your first fanmeeting here. How does it feel?
YC: A second fanmeeting in Thailand. What I wanted to say to my fans who’ve been waiting for me for a whole year is…. all of you have given me strength. I’ve been to Thailand as a part of JYJ many times, but this time I came here alone. Please give me a lot of support. I often had events in Thailand, so it feels familiar like it’s my own home.
Q: Congratulations on the Netizens Awards and Best Hallyu Actor at the 2012 Seoul Drama Awards from Rooftop Prince. Do you think you’re highly accomplished in acting now?
YC: I’m glad I received Netizens Awards for 2 years in a row. I never thought I would be chosen for it. I felt that my friends and all the fans have given me love and support. That’s way I had that chance. In the past, I thought I wouldn’t have won anything because I didn’t act well enough. When I actually won something, it didn’t make me feel successful but made me wanted to try and work harder to repay for all the support I’ve gotten from all my fans.
Q: When will we get to see Yuchun’s new drama?
YC: Nothing has been planned so far because a drama was just recently finished, but I think there will be another drama soon for everyone to watch before the end of the year.
Q: Out of the 3 dramas you’ve acted in – Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Miss Ripley and Rooftop Prince, which one is the hardest?
YC: The first drama was Sungkyunkwan Scandal which put me under a lot of pressure because I had to do well and not let everyone down. After that, it was Miss Ripley. This one was less stressful than the first one and I acted like I hoped to. The latest one was Rooftop Prince which was a role I’m familiar with. I could act more comfortably and put all my energy into it. I got used to acting and it turned out good.
Q: I’ve heard you wanted to try acting as a ‘schizophrenia’. Why would you?
YC: I think it’s hard to act as someone with mental problems. I wanted to give it a try to show everyone I can do various types of roles.
Q: What would you like to say to all the fans about this fanmeeting?
YC: I wanted to say something about Thailand. My parents like Thailand a lot – the staff also. I wanted to take my parents on a trip to Thailand. Thai people are warm-hearted and sincere toward foreigners. I wanted to take my parents to see all the famous tourist-attractions in Thailand. Thai girls are very beautiful, too. All of my fans, please come to the fanmeeting!
