"BOF" LMH and 2NE1's Sandara Park filmed a new CF for OB Beer's Cass. Accordingly, public attention will be attracted by the competition against the Hite's CF where Big Bang is a model.

OB Beer said "In this CF, Sandra Park who was recognized as Philippine Boa before her debut shall transform herself into unique femme fatale image, breaking the conventional image of pure and beautiful girl with long hair." and stated "The most suitable image to the 'sharp' youth that Cass is orienting, will be shown by sexy smoky eyes, fountain hair that is tied high upward, torn and worn out skinny jean and matching bold and vivid colors."

LMH who received much of spot light by transforming himself into 'homme fatal' in the last CF of Cass 2X, also prepares another transformation to shake lady's mind. Especially, while the Cass BGM sung by LMH directly in the last 2X campaign received absolute support from the youth, it gets public attention because it is still in a vail who will sing and which song will be for the BGM of Cass CF this time.

OB Beer's Marketing Manager stated “We chose top stars LMH and Sandara Park as their trendy image matches perfectly with the image of our Cass beer. We're staying in touch with the younger generation and this CF will start a new trend."

waaaaaahhhh!
she's so damn lucky!!!

LMH of BOF attended 'Dunkin Barista Lecture with Customers' and graced the event with his presence.

In the 'Barista Open Lecture' held at the Dunkin' Donnuts store in Myungdong, Seoul on August 18th, LMH personally demonstrated how to make coffee talking cheerfully with the customers having been selected by the previous promotion. LMH seriously listened to the lecture of Professor Kim Young-sik of the Barista Department at BackSuk Culture College.


To the question "Do you like coffee?", LMH answered "I enjoy coffee sometimes when I don't want to sleep " and made the participants laugh by saying "As I'm too much immersed in the lecture, I look serious."

Besides, LMH gave the kind appearance to the participants who came to see him shaking coffees and giving them to the people in person.

And to the question of a participant, "What kind of coffee do you enjoy? LMH answered "I sometimes enjoy 'cafe mocha' and 'espresso' coffee. In fact, I am omnivorous", which made the participants burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, LMH's fan meeting was held for about one hour after the 'Barista Open Lecture'. At the fan meeting, LMH had an interview time with his fans (participants) and enjoyed playing various games and events with happier atmosphere than ever. Especially, in the quiz game providing a free hug with LMH or Dunkin espresso coffeemaker (the price of 600 thousand won) as a free gift, the competition among the participants reminding people of a TV quiz program was intense.

Meanwhile, since the press from abroad such as the Japanese as well as the domestic media visited the event, we felt a hot interest in the Korean wave star LMH.

i wanna have this coffee!!! waaaahhhhh!!!

starbucks caramel frapuccino blended coffee = ~P 150
dunkin donuts frapuccino + a very handsome barista LMH handing it over to you = PRICELESS!!!

Lee Min Ho's secret campus japanese version debut

Secret Campus was Lee Min Ho's very first drama... his first acting career started here. since BOF gained so much popularity all over asia, people are getting interested in his previous dramas and movies such as this one, which recently released a japanese version...

below is the interview during the launch of the japanese dvd version of secret campus. this was filmed in taiwan. translation courtesy of loveminho.com.

Part 1

Q : You debuted with the 'Secret Campus', and how did it feel?
LMH : At my acting debut, I think I was very nervous, totally lost and just busy speaking my lines without any time to breathe. My memory isn't clear on the details, but I think I was so nervous that the shooting was done without my knowing how I was shot.

Q : What was your hardest and enjoyable parts of the shooting?
LMH : The drama had many soccer-playing scenes. So I enjoyed my shooting the most because I like soccer and I'm confident of playing parts like that. As for the difficult parts, it seems that every moment was hard. Once I broke my forefinger while performing a fighting scene with my fist colliding with the other's, and I still remember that. That's why I appear all of a sudden wearing a cast in the later part of the drama, though it wasn't included in the story.

Q : I wonder what you were actually like in high school like the background of 'Secret Campus'
LMH : I also seem to have had not a little rebellion. For example, I don't think that I liked listening to others. But I think I grew up faster, because I didn't make any big trouble when I was in the second and third year of high school. It seems I spent my adolescence very quietly.

Q : Which subject were you good at and poor at when you were in high school(senior high)?
LMH I was good at PE(physical education) and poor at math.

Q : In high school, did you have anyone in mind like whom you did or didn't want to be a person in your future?
LMH : It seems that I didn't want to be the type of adult who talked big or showed off some success of them, but I just wanted to be a quiet and naively honest adult.

Q : You played the role of a student with a dream of being a soccer player. How well did you play soccer?
LMH : When I was in elementary school, there were eleven classes in all. I made the entry list after having selected better soccer players in each class, and they just came along with me without complaining. Whatever I said, there was no one to grumble about me.

Q : Was it because you played soccer well or you were good in fights?
LMH : Maybe because they recognized me as a good soccer player. I've bragged about myself for no reason (feels embarrassed). But I can't play soccer well now.

Q : Then, were you the best soccer player among all students in your elementary school?
LMH Yes, it seemed that I was really good at playing soccer at that time.

Q : The following question your fans are interested in genuinely.... Have you ever dated with anyone when you were in senior high? If yes, what kind of date have you had?
LMH Yes, I have dated with someone during high school. Dare I say how I did, we usually went to the movies. As being high school students, many places were not allowed to go so watching movies were what we did most while dating.

Q wholesomely?
LMH Yes, what we did were wholesome

Q : In the drama, Du-hyeon had something confidential, but I wonder if you have a secret of your own..if you had some secret which you didn't want to tell to others.
LMH : I don't think I had any secret. It seems I'm not the style of having a lot of secrets.

Q : Are you the type of person who tells their friends anything?
LMH : I don't tell everything to my friends, but because I didn't have any particular things I did secretly, it's hard to remember what secret I had from my friends at that time.

Q : You are saying that you didn't really have any secrets, but you don't relatively tell important things to others?
LMH : No, I don't. I don't try to hide them, but I'd rather not tell others about me very often.

Q : Now we'll ask you something personal. Maybe your fans like it better.. Are there any hobbies you often enjoy personally?
LMH : I usually tend to enjoy playing online games. Because I can't go out a lot lately, I mainly enjoy computer games, which I have liked since high school.

Q : Aren't there many kinds of games available like sports and RPG games?
LMH : I prefer RPG, because computer games cause me to desire to win, and I hate to lose. Besides, there are rankings and positions in online games, and once I begin to play an online game, I can't help playing long (to raise my level). Now, I'm trying not to play online games deliberately.

Q : It's possible, I know....
LMH : (laughing) It could be called 'addiction', which seems to make me more competitive; at least, make me not want to lose. When I began playing with someone once, I got a bit tired with the gap getting wider against me

Q : It's not limited to only games, but applies to everything, right?
LMH : Right. Maybe because I played sports in childhood, but I'm relatively competitive in everything.

Q : Do you have any special talent besides soccer and computer games?
LMH : I'm so sociable that I become close to people pretty fast. I'm not really free from being shy, but I think I'm more sociable than ordinary people. Is it sort of special talent, too?
Q You bet.

Part 2

Q This interview is for Japanese fans and are there Japanese words to learn for them nowadays?
LMH : Do-jo Yo-ro-si-ku Oh-ne-ga-yi-si-mas (I expect your favor) Ka-ya-ii(cute, lovely) Da-yi-jo-bo-des(It's alright) I can memorize simple idioms as I speak them.

Q Which country would you like to go among those countries you have never been before?
LMH : Venezia
Q In Italy?
LMH I have heard that Venezia is sinking. Is it true?
Q I have heard it before ,too
LMH Before Venezia sinks, I'd like to go. I also want to go to Las Vegas.
Q Haven't you been Italy?
LMH No, I haven't.

Q Which food do you frequently eat recently?
LMH I frequently eat bean-paste pot stew and kimchi pot stew. For health reason, I also eat beef.

Q Do you like meat?
LMH When I eat at home, I always eat more than one kind of meat.

Q Do you know how to cook?
LMH I can cook several kinds of food.

Q What are they?
LMH I am good at cooking kimchi pot stew, rameon(Korean noodle), fried egg rice and fried Kimchi rice ^^

Q If your girlfriend come to your place, what food can you confidently make for her?
LMH : I'm confident of cooking ramyeon (laughs a lot), because chances are I won't fail. I can succeed 100 %. If I cook a big dish, it will be fried rice.

Q : This time, what is the dish you want your girlfriend to fix for you?
LMH : Just a few side dishes and rice...like those my mother makes.

Q : Then, you mean just a warm meal rather than a luxurious meal?
LMH : Yes. It's okay if it's not delicious, but it'll be better if it is.

Q : Won't it more difficult to make side dishes?
LMH : Yes, I think so. (laughs a lot)

Q These days you might well find no time to rest enough, yet how do you spend your holiday?
LMH I often hang out with my close people and friends, just chatting and having meals together, or I watch rental DVD movies, or play online games.

Q : What's the first thing you do in the morning?
LMH : I go to the bathroom still half asleep and brush my teeth. While I begin brushing with my eyes half open, I wake up.

Q : Reversely, what are the things you do before you go to sleep.
LMH : I turn on TV or my computer, and listening to music from the computer.. or watching a program on TV, I fall asleep.

Q : You mean you fall asleep with TV or the computer on?
LMH : Yes. I hate all the time until falling asleep except that I'm so tired as to get to sleep. Because I come to think too much, I like going to sleep using TV or the computer so that I don't have my head in the clouds.

Q: Do you remember what you dreamt recently?
LMH It's been like a long time since I dreamt something. It seems that I haven't dreamt any dream ever since BOF was started. Aha! I did..(as if something came to his mind) One time when I was sleeping in my car, I dreamt of a fire starting. As soon as I woke up, I started beating my coordinator, shouting to her, "Put it out!". And what's more, at another time, I ate Kimchi pot stew in my dream, and then upon waking up, said to someone next to me, "Give me some water. It's too salty."^^

Q Your dreams felt like reality ?
LMH Yes, they were very much like reality.

Q Do you wear pajamas while sleeping?
LMH I sleep in short pants or pajamas. When I am alone in my house, I often sleep only in underwear. But I prefer wearing short pants and a short T-shirt when my mom and sister stay with me at my home.

Q : This is a difficult question.. I wonder when you feel lonely, or listless and a little down, what you do, for example, take exercise on purpose or talk with your friends on the phone..
LMH : I think I do various things: do exercise, or watch TV programs or movies to give impetus to me, or a special program about a person to help me empower my life. When I'm spurred by watching them, I feel somewhat energized. It could happen that a person sometimes feels bored and uninterested while working. In that case, I watch such movies, which make me think, " Oh, I should not slack in my work. I should work harder" That helps me motivate myself.

Q: If you have any life mottos or philosophes from Korean proverbs, ...
LMH "Winners never quit, and quitters never win!" When I was in my childhood, my parents gifted me a flat spoon-shaped wall-souvenir from their wedding anniversary trip. This motto was written on it. I was very touched by the words even though I was a kid. Up till now, that has been my personal motto.

Q Which book would you recommend us, and would give us the reason why?
LMH : Lee Oi Soo's essay, Ha-Ahk-Ha-Ahk (Korean book). Even young kids can understand it easily. It presents many useful ideas expressed in a simple and fun way. That's why I recommend the book.


quite long huh?
but definitely worth my time.. hehe :D

Lee Min Ho's usual get up

since i have a lot of time to post blogs today, i'll be taking this opportunity to post a lot about minho... hihihi :] since it may take a couple of days or more before i find time to post again. so here goes...

got this, as usual, from loveminho.com. this is about lee min ho's fashion and usual clothing/attire/get-up style... this was posted in Sportsseoul on 05-08-2009.

Lee Min-ho, "I feel careful of tight upper garment."

1 month has passed since KBS2 'Boys Over Flowers' ended. 'Flowers heat wind' is still considerable. It seems that 'Flowers' heroes almost sweep over just like every CF, fashion, domestic appliances, food and beverage, and so on. In the middle of it, it seems that Lee Min-ho's influence is the biggest to make many items hit including curly 'Gu Jun-pyo's hair-do'.

Nowadays there are many women that look for Lee Min-ho's wear to order for their husbands or boyfriends at each clothing stores. We think it's because of his 187㎝ height and western face. His charm looks better because of his gorgeous style added to his firm acting power． In this week, we heard of his fashion style, although he was very busy with CF shooting and fanmeeting. Now he is on-air about his clear answers as well as his strapping looks.

Q Which clothes do you choose as a usual thing?

LMH I prefer simple style. I like jeans so I often choose t-shirts or a hood with skinny jeans． I also like accessories so I frequently put on rings or hats. 　


Q It was supposed that you balanced in your choice with your tall height.

LMH I haven't done that. Some clothes were too small for me to wear from time to time. (laugh)．


Q Which color do you like?

LMH I like monotonous color. I used to mainly wear black, grey and white. I prefer to wear monotonous color like dark blue, ice grey with metal-feeling or black and dark colors. 　

Q Do you have any body complex?

LMH It's not as much as a complex. I'm careful about tight upper clothing or clothes with low necklines anyway. So I prefer to wear clothes like a white shirt. 　


Q What accessories would you recommend put on?

LMH My favorite thing is a ring． I usually have on a silver thing. I always wear my watch. When I feel flat with monotonous clothes, I put on a silver necklace or a hat． The past I usually had on a beanie, but nowadays I prefer a fedora. 　


Q What's your suggestion for this summer look?

LMH I think it's a jeans with a t-shirt and shoes that are simple and dandy like sneakers. And another thing! It's summer so it is neccessary to wear accessaries like hats or sunglasses, isn't it?


more to come in a while...
it's gonna be a minho overload day today.. hehehe :D


~grazhishu~
*lee min ho crazy girl*
*wu chun addict*
*forever joe cheng's gal*

back to minho blogging.. :)

we've been making calls for a week now...
it's so tiring and exhausting...
sigh... i can't take it anymore...
i miss minho so much so i'm going back to my minho blogging... hehehe :D
here goes...

i got this article from loveminho.com (as usual). you can read the korean article HERE. this is anothe interview by Kang Youn-hee, posted on 04-29-2009 in 'careercare business magazine'. as always, thanks for the translation loveminho. :)

LMH practiced acting more than 20,000 hours

It's an entertainer that teenagers regard as the best job with envy nowadays. And according to the result of the investigation, if a man wants to succeed in any field, he needs to excercise for 10,000 hours.(It's from 'Outliers', the book that analyzed the secret of the top of the heap nowadays.) So does an entertainer. A few days ago, we met Lee min-ho, who achieved stardom through the ending drama ‘‘Boys Over Flowers'’ and answered his efforts of 10,000 hours.

Q Recently, according to the result of the investigation, to succeed in any field, he needs to pour out 10,000 hours in nothing else. What do you think, how much you pumped time into the acting till you could jump to stardom?

LMH Well, I didn't calculate time to pour out for acting since now. After I got down to act at 19, I have practiced all day long except if it's time to sleep and eat. to calculate practice time from that time, it is over 20,000 as I practiced about more than 14 hours for a day. Wow! I didn't know I had practiced much like this. (laugh) Yet I think it is more important how much I absorb in acting, although it is important to pour out many times. With the result that I have made many efforts to find an essential element for acting even to my daily life day and night, it seems that I can get the challenge awareness and self-confidence on acting.


Q Chance has nothing to do with your success on this work, not only because of good looks but efforts over 10,000 hours. But even then, you achieved stardom in a flash, do you seem to feel afraid?

LMH I feel delightful to gain many fans' affection with this work, but I also feel afraid because I wonder if I have quite the statue to do that. But I feel the responsibility to meet the concern and expectation much strongly than fear. So I am studying and preparing many things in order to overcome my week point to be born again as a better image, a mature actor.


Q In the case of Jang Dong-gun counted as the prettiest face in Korea, he was in agony because he thought his acting ability had paled into significance on account of his handsome looks. Are you worried about the same thing on this point of setting image "a pretty face" by filming "Boys Over Flowers"?

LMH Senior Jang Dong-gun... (laugh) So far, I don't think my acting ability is excellent like him. But as all of actors do, I also would like to keep long-run with my own color rather than my looks. For it, I think I have to be worried to choose the next work from now.


Q Say about Korean and foreign actors to look up to as your mentor.

LMH There are so many respectable actors, I have looked up to Leonardo DiCaprio as my mentor since the moment I decided to be an actor. He is the actor who has definitely various colors. He did each of different duties in many movies like ‘What's Eating Gilbert Grape’, ‘Titanic', ‘Revolutionary Road’ and so on, and he is excellent to change over each time. Maybe he shows his ability as an actor who has various colors through continuous challenge and efforts.


Q So far, do you have any role that you would like to play in the movie or drama in your memories?

LMH I would like to play the role 'Rusty' by Brad Pitt in the film 'Oceans 11' made by the director Steven Soderbergh. Rusty is an ace card sharp and teaches cheat skills to a master pickpocket Linus. The lines, “Look at one point but not stare. Be high in his favor but let him be forgettable as soon as you leave.", seems to help the understandings of the character. Rusty reads a person like a book and uses it. I remember admiring to do well the role to seem to be aware of a person's mind. I have my eye on the role.

***Now I will ask another questions besides acting.

Q What is the most difficult thing in your whole life?

LMH On 20, I received a severe wound from a car accident that stopped me from acting. At that time, I had thought lots of things in the hospital. Under the starting situation, it was a nothing even if I fluttered highly but how impatient I felt! I got upset very much, however, I thought optimistically. Nothing changes if it doesn't move. I thought 'On falling down, I would bump up again'.


Q If you were not an entertainer, What do you think which job you had?

LMH I thought I wanted to be a soccer player in my childhood because I was crazy about soccer that time. If I was not an actor, I guess I would be a soccer player and a member of the national team like the manager Cha Bum-geun.


Q You took an executive in 'Boys Over Flowers'. What do you think of an executive as a job?

LMH I think I'm so lucky I'm not a real executive.(laughing) Although it took just a short period, the executive, whom I played, should take the blame for his company, a large number of employees and their families. I think it is hard and difficult position that it need to learn many things and feel strong responsibility to manage a company in the cut throat competition.


Q This is the last question. What is the meaning of twenty for Lee Min-ho?

LMH I think twenty is the age to get a foothold that people can plan their dreams and put the clock forward. Water doesn't boil at 99℃, does it? As plenty of heat is needed to absorb to go up to 100℃, I think twenty is the time that people experience and prepare many things to make their dreams come true. In addition, in my case, I feel the importance for the responsibility to my choice so much. For the sake of doing that, I think it is important to keep on my right step by step. I wonder what another people think..

more to come... :)

another saturday

done with the certification... we're going live on monday... waaaaaahhhhh! everything is happening so fast... haven't we just started training? i don't wanna make call outs yet..

but i think i don't have a choice huh? i'm such a loser... huhuhuhuhu

i really wonder, when can i get back to posting my minho blogs? i've been so busy and i really can't find time to do that anymore... i'm so occupied studying, training, playing restaurant city, farmville and farmtown in facebook that i can no longer squeeze in my blogging. sigh...

i haven't got the feel yet of how it's gonna be making call outs in this new program so i really feel nervous... i suddenly miss being the operator in ameriprise, though i have to know all the departments' tasks, it's inbound and there's no quota so there's lesser pressure... i'm just pressured of the very short AHT but other than that, it's super duper easy... but for this new one, i really don't know what to expect..

but i'm hoping it would turn out fine..
aja! aja! :)

~grazhishu~
*lee min ho crazy girl*

hectic week???

yes... the past week had been so hectic...
i barely had time to post my blogs.. what a loser me..

we have transferred to hireright in shaw and i must say... the environment there is really different. there were some familiar faces... but most are really new to me. it doesn't feel like home unlike the office in libis. this is also my first time in an outbound program so it really feels new to me..

regarding the new program... i think the program itself is easy... you just have to call a source to verify information... but the tasks needed to complete the work is quite a lot and very time consuming... like documentation, locating numbers, thinking.. and manually dialling.. yes, they don't have an autodialer, so everything is manually dialled.. waaaaahhhh! but relatively, i think it's easy... sigh...

there's a lot more to learn.. and wednesday is certification already...
goodluck to us! aja! aja! :)

M&M no more...

i was eating a pack of m&m's earlier when a sad thought suddenly struck me...
tomorrow, i'm off to a new program and i'm m&m no more...

for the second time, i'm transferring to a new program in etel... and now it's out of the blue box, after staying there for almost four years... training starts tomorrow at 1 p.m. in libis, but the program itself is in shaw... so i'll be transferring there soon also... i'm gonna miss my friends from rolex and m&m... :-(

sigh...

this is totally new to me... it's not a blue box program, not financial account, not for customer service and most of all, not in libis so i don't know what to expect... new program, new site, new team, new environment...

though i've heard several feedback about this new program (which mostly, if not all, are really negative), i'm still hoping for the best... as always.. aja! (^_^)v

LMH -- I have nothing to complain of my looks

another minho interview... as i've mentioned before, there are lots more to come... hehe :D

got this of course from loveminho.com. this article was posted in Starnews by the copywriter Kim Su-Jin on March 3, 2009. you can read the original korean article HERE. thanks to loveminho for the translation (as always).. :)


Gu Jun-Pyo -- Lee Min Ho, "I have nothing to complain of my looks"

All the people bring the roof down with a comet-like new face. The hero is Lee Min-ho(22). He achieved stardom at a bound from the on-air KBS 2TV's Mon-Tues drama series 'Boys Over Flowers'(writer Yoon Ji-ryun, producer Jun Ki-sang). No, he is arising a syndrome. He is more than women's dream and gains popularity to arouse unusual heat wind also to men. His past works EBS drama "The Secret Campus", SBS high teen drama "Run Mackerel!" and so on are in the news, and Japanese persons concerned show so far as hot interest in his past works.

But It isn't enough. There are a large number of fans to find his house and fans keep flowing in and out at his agency with only the reason that is him. It's countless that staffs should stop filming because of fans crowd at shooting lot. Even the elementary school freshmen shout "He is Gu Jun-pyo!" and rejoice.

I met Lee Min-ho who was the heartthrob for Koreans. He visited 'Money Today Star News' on 3rd afternoon. Tall and striking figure and clear-cut face. He turned on the charm that is stronger than flowers and faultless. Face is 'bling bling', and aura was radiated aroud his face like a scene of the comic book. He was 'Gu Jun-pyo' in the original comic 'Boy Over Flowers' itself. But he's the young Lee Min-ho, shy and healthy rather than the feature of the sophisticated rich man to be showed through TV.

-What is the meaning of 'Boys Over Flowers' to you?

▶ It is the best masterpiece. I have the masterpiece. It's the work that makes me the most public. It will remain in my memories through my whole life.

-You have got public affection for 'Flowers'. In my guess, there are many things to change.

▶ Right. A plenty of things. After the first episode, I need adaptable time for 2 weeks. I came to mind my p's and q's as much as I gained a number of interests.

-'Flowers' is going toward the end. Please give your impressions about only 8 episodes left.

▶ I saw it was the record for 137 days through the special air on 2nd. About 4 months passed. When I see the scene of the early air, I get feelings already as old days. Because it seems that my present tone is different from that time. Now I hope I can give it another brush to the end. I hope the end is good and gains as much affection. I seem to feel empty when it ends. Actors feel empty on ending work. In this case, I may feel lonely because it is too empty.


-I wonder what you think about the appraisal of 'Clear-cut Guy', 'Ultra Flower Boy'

▶ Frankly speaking, it lays a burden on me. I also pay careful attention of expression so much. In fact, I wanna hear I'm attractive rather than handsome. Am I clear-cut? I hope I seem very likable.

-Do you have any dissatisfaction for your face?

▶ I have nothing to complain about it. I think clear-cut features is not always attractive and anyone should have his own charm.

-'Gu Jun-pyo' heat wind is hotter and hotter daily. Did you expect that?

▶ I expected a little. The original work has come into the spotlight and Tsukasa (Gu Jun-pyo) is quite a good character, so I thought I might gain good reaction as long as I did hard. But I didn't imagine it would be as big as this.

-Now what is F4 to Lee Min-ho? I wonder the meaning of the presence.

▶ Well, it's difficult to answer. It is natural. I think I don't put meaning to F4, but to companions that are partners of joys, sorrows and go together for many hours.

-Your past pictures have spreaded through the internet with the penalty of fame.

▶ I used to get upset. Now I'm so still. I think it's a kind of curse to a star. I think they're interested in everything anout me. I take it positively.

-Gu Jun-pyo's turban shell hair-do is on fashion. Is there any worry about strong image?

▶ I don't think I will stick to this style. I am trying to change my hair little by little. In fact, when I change my hair style, F4 members also say to look awkward. Guess how surprised the viewers may be.

-You have a sincere heart to 'Geum Jan-di in the drama. I wonder how your love style is.

▶ My real style is similar to the drama. My character is simple and I can't play double minutely. I meet only one. (loyal? gooood!!! :D )

-What is your ideal style?.

▶ It is like Song Hye-gyu. I like the very style contrary to me. Smallish girl captures my eyes.


-Is there any actor or actress you wanna work together? (Lee Min-ho got 10 scenarios at least.)

▶ Once I said to Jung Il-woo I wanted to shoot the movie like 'Rough Cut'. And I hope to perform with Sul Kyung-gu who acted in 'Public Enemy Returns'. Although I didn't get a chance to keep time with him, I hope I agree in tone together, learn and gain many things from him.

-I wonder what your view of acting is.

▶ I have a dream that I will be an actor to be respectable from twenty juniors on 30. And I would like to be an actor to meet various images. I also hope I will be an actor to cross good and evil, a performer to do extreme acting. I feel attractive to an extreme role. I'm worrying about it so much.

-I guess you feel burden about the next work due to big affection through 'Boys Over Flowers'.

▶ Right. But so far 'Boys Over Flowers' doesn't end, so I don't think about another work. I hope I can choose freely anything, it's a drama or a movie. It is my question that I should break through Gu Jun-pyo's image and go forward. Maybe I will reward fans with a good work after it.

-Before acting, did you expect you could get affection from all the people like this?

▶ I'm positive. I have always thought wishfully that someday I could make my day.

-Please, give performers to dream 'Second Lee Min-ho' a piece of advice.

▶ It makes me unbecoming. Keep cultivating your own garden and someday chances will come. And I hope you always think positively to see good results.

more to come... :)
