As an idol group member, Park Yuchun’s advance into the movie world catches the eye.
Park Yuchun will make his movie debut with ‘Sea Fog’ (director Shim Sung-bo). His official acting debut was 3 years ago with ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’ and now he will meet the audience through the big screen.
Park Yuchun’s movie debut draws our attention in many areas. A marked difference from the usual style of idol stars, he chose the “frontal attack method” which is most striking.
Celebrities making their movie debut usually stick to genres like love comedies which will maximise their box office power. Or they do movies that are specially planned for foreign markets like Japan where the Korean wave (Hallyu) is very popular.
But Park Yuchun chose a serious and heavy work where people with real abilities in the movie world gathered.
Among the Korean movies that will start filming in the later half of the year, ‘Sea Fog’ is highly anticipated.
It is the first movie to be produced by Bong Jun-ho, director of ‘Snow Piercer’; this alone draws much attention.
It is directed by Shim Sung-bo who worked together with Bong in 2003 ‘Memories of Murder’ as the screenwriter.
The rest of the staff are also magnificent. Hong Kyung-pyo, the cinematographer for ‘Snow Piercer’ and ‘Taegukgi: Brotherhood of War’, is also in this. It is truly the “cooperative work of the dream team”.
Park Yuchun’s participation in ‘Sea Fog’ is an exception in the movie world.
A singer and an actor with no movie experience participating in a thriller movie already catches the eye from the start.
In addition, his counterpart in the movie is Kim Yoon-seok, an actor that represents Chungmuro. The synergistic effect produced when a rookie meets a veteran in the movie is one reason for the high anticipation.
When Park Yuchun received the offer from the production company, he gave it serious thought.
Although he was interested by the fact that the producer is Bong Jun-ho and the main actor is Kim Yoon-seok, it is a dark story with a certain amount of brutal content and so it is considered to be a kind of “risk” for him.
There were many actors in their 20s who wanted this role in ‘Sea Fog’ that Park Yuchun is playing. A member of a very popular group was very interested in it; a Hallyu actor in his 30s also wanted to be part of this.
Amidst all this, Park Yuchun’s participation in ‘Sea Fog’ can be said to be the result of his potential being certified.
From his debut work ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’, then ‘Miss Ripley’, ‘Rooftop Prince’ and recently ‘Missing You’, Park Yuchun has acted in different genres like historical drama, romantic comedy and love dramas; he was also successful in viewer ratings.
Park Yuchun has always had high ambitions for his acting skills and his works; it is said that when he received the script for ‘Sea Fog’, he was immediately totally absorbed in the storyline.
He will start filming for ‘Sea Fog’ in October. Now he is focusing on the preparation work and getting advice from Sol Kyung-gu and Lee Jung Jae who recently joined his agency.

“Park Yuchun has always had high ambitions for his acting skills and his works; it is said that when he received the script for ‘Sea Fog’, he was immediately totally absorbed in the storyline.”
You immediately indulged yourself in the script ha…amazing Chunnie–he’s now busy using his sexy brain…. 🙂
Wishing to see him again using his sexy voice and body too…while performing on stage…ahahaha.
Good luck Yoochun…hope this will be a blockbuster one!
“…it is a dark story with a certain amount of brutal content and so it is considered to be a kind of “risk” for him.” I’m sure that YuChun will prove that he can overcome risks that may befall others. I’m sure it will be a great movie! I’m just not sure if I can watch it. I’m such a woosie! I can’t handle the violence and mean/dark stuff. I couldn’t watch Jae’s Dr. Jin and Chun’s Missing You. : (
totally proud of Yoochun ❤
can’t wait for this! yoochun is really a good actor, he’s not afraid in trying lots of things to improve his craft! this probably the common denominator of JYJ, they are risk taker and so courageous guys!
I am so happy for YC!!!!! YC is an excellent actor and wish him nothing but a huge success!!!!!!!!!
This silly boy, always like to choose projects that make people go wah waah,waAAhHh~~
I hope uri bad boy knows after all the “wahsSsss”, the expectations will follow. And naturally they’ll be set high, I mean like real HIGH. I am nervous for him, tbh. Especially knowing that there are so many sour grapes out there who couldn’t wait to bombard him even before anything starts, crazy!
Hope he’ll be able to pull this off…… as usual, haha~~
All the best, baby. You can do it. Fighting!!!
Chajatta! Wow, you delurk. Yoochun will be so proud.
I feel nervous too but I trust Yoochun knows what he is doing. I am sure he accepted this project not only because it interests him but because he knows he can do justice to the role. 😀
OMG! *screammm!!!* @myc0686!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *bigbearhugglesyou!* xDDD
I’ve missed you dearly, my dearest chingu, so soOoOoOoooo good to see you again, hehe..
kYah~~~~~~ 😀 😀 😀 *reallyhappy*
Delurk? Me?? bWahahahahaha~~~ Idk, maybe.
It’s just……… I suddenly feel like shouting it out loud, haha~
Princey, all the best, jia you, ganbatte, fighting, fighting, fighting!!!!!!!!!
Gotta agree with you AGAIN, chingu. Should never doubt his capabilities to do justice to the roles he’s decided to take on.
I mean, so far, plots and all aside, he’s done justice to all the roles that he had portrayed, right??
Let’s hope he’ll nail this role, yet again 🙂
That said, I sure hope I’ll get a chance to watch it on big screen FOR REAL though, hahaha~
*hugsyoubacktightly*
The funny thing is, I too had not been very active because of work. I was reassigned to a new place and it wasn’t easy because it’s a bit remote and internet connection was really bad. Things are more stable now and I am back to civilization. I was back reading a lot and i felt a bit sad because the usual chunsas I know were no longer around then I found you. It’s like manna from heaven. 😀
Yoochun’s choices are really quite interesting and I am expecting a deluge of criticism to pour in yet again. I guess it is time for chunsas to come out from hiding if only to show our support and to tell YC, we waited. It was a long and arduous wait but we made it. The long wait is over and it will be worth it. I just know, it will be. My instinct is working overtime again. 😉
LOL..can catch you ladies ^__^
to excite and nervous for that bad boy… me either 😦
kYah, Anva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *jumpx3*
My loveliest, ever positive, most beautiful inside-out, sweetest candy sistah, hahaha~ *bigbearhugglesyoutoo!!* 😀

Hey Chunnie! You have always made the right choice and I believed you again for this difficult role. Through your hardwork n passion in acting, you became a professional actor shown in all your successful dramas. This is the your turning point to venture onto sliver screen. Another achievement awaits you! And I totally have Faith in you! Definitely will be a box office movie! Fighting !!!
i cant wait 😀
So excited need to find out if there is a way we can see the movie when it comes out so are viewing here in America can count CJES please look into it.
Goodluck YooChun 🙂
very serious work indeed! he challenges himself then puts his whole self into it! this one sounds a little hard for me to watch, i usually don’t like realistic serious stuff but i will brave my feelings and watch it just cause of chun 🙂 these guys know no limits when working on projects-maybe it is the feeling of being free from oppression to stretch their wings as far as projects go anyway. still waiting for them to be able to unleash their music passion in a free way also yet so happy for what they have been able to participate in and the creative ways they are still able to do! in one way it has been so good for them the express themselves in creative ways.
our boys just cant stop making us proud of them :”)
JYJ MANSEEE!!! :DD

Awesome 🙂 I loved Memories of Murder & I’m seriously looking forward to this movie.
This movie will showcase the versatility of Chunnie. It is a risk for him to take such role but I have faith that he can pull this off. How great of him to take his acting to the next level and and not being afraid to face the challenges. This movie for sure will give him great acting experience. I am so proud of him! ^^
*Can’t stop myself from saying this. Chunnie looks so dashing in the picture. He is so manly. Don’t you guys agree? ^^
so agree with you!
I wonder who are other actors who wanted this role n yuchun finally beat them.. LOL
@onyet
I wonder too but then again, it’s rumoured, right? So, I’ll just believe half of what’s said, hahaha..
Like how I believe SJK’s first offered this role.
ahhhh yes yes yes 😀 actually i dont really care about that too.. i’ll put 110% even more tht chunnie can make this movie greater.. hihihi
well chunnie is a great actor…he is definitely the prince of tears…if anyone can make you cry its chunnie, so of course its going to be a hit
those actors, director, producer even the cinematographer are really promising enuff! Me personally love dark/heavy story coz it gives us more impact if they succeed to portray it..Good luck Sea Fog 😉
Oh man, I just can’t wait but deep in my heart feel quite nervous too..With all these news about him and this movie we surely know how high will be their expectation for our Yoochun rite…u go boy! Fighting!!!
