[Translation] Kim Jae-wook Coffee Prince - Interview
Coffee Prince cast Kim Jae-wook, Lee Eon and Kim Dong-wook interview with News-Donga in 2007.Translation of Kim Jae-wook's part of the interview alone.
Kim Jae-wook (24 at the time of the interview), who made his debut in 2000, is also a model. He plays a Japanese character in the drama and grew up in Tokyo, Japan for about seven years before entering elementary school. He majored in practical music at university and is also part of a band (Runninghigh) t/n: Runninghigh is one of the former names of the band before the current name WALRUS.
You're popular for your character's personality in the drama. What's your real personality?
There are similarities with Sun-ki. People have many sides. A bright person has a dark face when he or she is alone at home alone. I spoke less as I continued to act as Sun-ki.
The moment you decided to act?
I made my debut as a member of a band that includes Lee Na-young in the drama "Ruler of your own world". After three to four years of postponement, I graduated and was doing music, but was constantly thinking about 'that difficult acting'. I didn't know what acting was, and it was really hard.
Throughout the interview, there was a flurry of back stories of coffee Prince. Surprisingly, Kim Jae-wook played Harim (Kim Dong-wook's role) during the audition. On Kim Dong-wook's birthday, Yoon Eun-hye prepared a cake and threw a birthday party at the scene. They go to the baseball stadium together. Above all, the strength of the Coffee Prince team was "Alcohol."
After filming, they enjoy soju with Gong Yoo and Yoon Eun-hye at the Makchang place (beef intestine restaurant). Kim Jae-wook laughs, saying, "Eon hyung is the best at drinking," and "Even I, who didn't drink alcohol, have increased my drinking capacity due to the members of Coffee Prince." Eon said, "I've only had about 10 days of sobering this year. Jae-wook, after drinking a lot and throwing up a number of times, has improved a lot" Kim Jae-wook says right away, "This person is strong."
Like in the drama, in case you're attracted even after knowing it's a man?
It will be very hard. In the end, I'm going to go where my heart goes...It's a very dangerous remark (laughs) but I don't want to have a prejudice. Liking a person, isn't approaching that person (whom I like) all the same?
They are also making plans to travel together after the end (of the drama). Kim Jae-wook's hobby is "to be alone". If he gets a vacation right away, he'd like to go to London
What about the ideal type?
The style I like is the ideal type. Even if it's not my ideal type, I'm attracted to a person's heart. From the drama, I like Eun-chan.
Each character appears romantic, but what's the most romantic thing you've done for a woman in real life?
I once made a cake for Christmas. I didn't know how to make a cake, so I went to the bakery in front of my house three days earlier and learned how to make it.
What is the future of the three princes?
I want to be a person who doesn't lose his passion even when he is old. Rather than settling down with something familiar as an actor or a salaried worker, I want to be a person with the passion to continuously challenge myself.
