Park Yoochun, who has starred in MBC’s Miss Ripley and KBS2’s Sunkyungkwan scandal, is reinventing the notion of idol actors. What is it about Park Yoochun make casting directors want to hire him? Various directors talked about these points.
“Punch” Director Lee Han: If you look at KBS2’s Sungkyunkwan Scandal you will see that both the emotional feel and the pronunciation [of Park Yoochun], both of which are crucially important, are good. It makes him see as though he has his fundamentals set. That is something that comes in part from being a singer. In a sense, idols are used to showing various expressions on stage while singing songs for their fans. Also they do not have a fear of the cameras and can quickly adapt [to drama settings].
“The Servant” Director Kim Dae-Woo: I think we can trust [Park Yoochun] to a variety of roles. First the true test is to see how an actor fares when featured in a melodrama. A melodrama calls characters to have a soft and delicate image compared to the events they are placed in. Because of the emotions you must show, if an actor can prove themselves to be successful in a melodrama, they can be successful in other genres as well.
“Mr. Idol” Director Ra Hee-Chun: He is an actor that is not awkward in any role he has. In addition, where else can we find the certain charms that he possesses?

Yoochun!! 🙂 So proud of you!
Yoochun is hot!….My beloved JJ…my Muwon god!…^ ^
I prefer YC expression in acting.. i can get read through his facial expression.. that’s the first time i like YC, then got to know about DBSK and now JYJ..:)
His smoldering flirty look when he sings is to die for as well! Lol
YooChunah! I miss you baby. Boshipda~ bogoshipda …~
@Love … Me too!!! 😦 … New Chun drama, please come sooner!!!!!!
He really is indeed a good actor. He’s good at expressing himself emotionally, verbally, and physically when he’s acting. He will go far, this boy.
Hi @Love … Second that! Yup, acting is definitely in his blood … it just depends on how far he choose to go 😉 ……..
typo *chooses* 😛
It’s alwayz great to hear the PROS from de industry itself commend our darling boy … I’m so sOooooo proud of our Yoochunnie!!!!!! 🙂
LOL, i think Yoochun is born to sing and act. It is within him. Being a singer helps, but i believe it is Yoochun himself is great. Look at those other singer who try acting……. that will explain about Yoochun….
Hi @wanzhaf … Spot on!! He’s a born actor, period. And his looks just adds on as a BIG bonus. Chun is > looks alone, he’s a great actor who alwayz works very hard to give viewers da best!!! You gotta luv Chun!!
wow…I know he’s a good actor and I am a fan of him so my opinions doesn’t really matter..but to have directors themselves complimenting him based on his two dramas…I’m a proud fan.
I really hope he’d pull something different for his next project.
Hi @ryter … that’s my sentiments exactly!!! 🙂 Kyaahh, other than proud, it’s still PROUD – our oh-so multi-talented PYC!! I hope this won’t bring him unnecessary pressures in his future acting projects, but act as an encouragement instead 🙂 …
typo again, @ryther .. isshhh!!
hey @bubbly~
you’re one active Yoochun fan! /I’m so lazy *_*/
Anyway yes~! When he said he wanted to become a villain/killer I was so happy…because I know how he vicious he could be when he’s in the mood…I honestly wanna see all three of them in a movie. A proper movie..not something weird like Arashi did…roflmao /and I’m an Arashi’s fan-get’s kicked/
Hi @ryther
“you’re one active Yoochun fan!” ~~~ I know!!! .. can’t help it :(. I always have this urge to pen, moreso when it’s a YC-related-stand-alone posts (for some reasons, I felt more comfortable here, hahAH 😉 ). I can go all GA-GA and still, don’t have to worry about offending others, LOL. So it’s bad, huh?! Maybe, I should tone down a lil’ :P, hehe. I always enjoy reading your posts though 🙂 …
“I honestly wanna see all three of them in a movie.” ~~~ omo, that’ll be dream-come-true for many JYJers (me inclusive, LOL). YC & JJ together in a movie, ermmm … maybe. But JS, … I doubt. It’s just not his cup of tea, I guess, haha. But you NEVER know!!! *fingers crossed* 🙂
@bubbly
Oh no darl~ it’s nice having an active Chunsa around! I’m most of the time at the office so I couldn’t access the internet that much and my responds are quite slow *as you can see* do I sound like I’m old? rofl
Anyway~ I think Junsu can act but like you said maybe movie/dramas aren’t his best…but I bet he looks so cute acting in front of cameras-he’d do a lot of NGs I think but honestly I want all three of them in a movie/drama-I want to see how their incredible chemistry works on screen
Hey @ryther
No worries, SEE, I’m even slower than you!!! LOL.
“… it’s nice having an active Chunsa around!” ~~~ KYaAhHHH, pheeeeeeeeew … what a relieve!!!!!!! hehe^^ 😀
“I want all three of them in a movie/drama-I want to see how their incredible chemistry works on screen.” ~~~ Wah, all three in the same set, that would be EPIC!!! Just the thought of it makes me happy :). I’m pretty confident the drama/movie will turn our well 😉 … afterall they are the ever so awesome, alwayz give the BEST ~~ J-Y-J!!!!!!!!! …..… hehe, *I can totally imagine Junsu being trolled sOoooo much, off-screen and his ever so OVER-exaggerating expressions (like in the “Do-It-Now” CF), on screen – and ……… waaHhHhhh, it will definitely be fun-fun-FUN!!!!!!!* 😀
Yoochun-ah I’m eagerly waiting your next project! Movie or drama, I’ll anticipating it ❤ ❤
I personally think that Chunnie is born to sing and act 🙂
