He is seen as the next-generation actor with the most potential.
It is time to remove the tag “idol-born” before Park Yuchun’s name.
Once a top singer who was active across national borders, when Park Yuchun took up the challenge of acting, many people were prejudiced against him. However, with the successful debut of ‘Sungkyunkwan Scandal’, and after acting in ‘Rooftop Prince’ and ‘Missing You’, he has firmly secured his position as an actor.
Putting aside viewership ratings and public reaction, there is another reason why Park Yuchun’s name is mentioned repeatedly. It is because they who are called “the great masters” have selected him one after another.
Park Yuchun, who has worked with core writers like Lee Hee Myung and Moon Hee Jung, received an invitation from Kim Eun Hee, the writer of the new SBS Wed/Thurs drama ‘Three Days’ (directed by Shin Kyung Soo) which will start at the beginning of next year. The writer of masterpieces like ‘Sign’ and ‘Ghost’, Kim Eun Hee is the number one person for Korean-style dramas. She has never based her casting choice solely on public popularity but instead chooses serious actors with solid acting. As such, Park Shin Yang was casted for ‘Sign’ and So Ji Sub for ‘Ghost’.
There is special meaning in the fact that she chose Park Yuchun to be the lead character in her suspense drama surrounding a presidential assassination. It is equivalent to her acknowledgment of him as an actor who has been recognised for his acting skills.
Chungmuro also saw the real value of Park Yuchun. The acting that is on the big screen has to be different because of the level of concentration and immersion of the audience. If there is just one wrong detail, it will spoil the feeling for the audience. That is why actors have to tighten every cell in their bodies for acting.
Bong Jun Ho who is often called “Bong-details” due to his love for precise details, casted Park Yuchun in his movie ‘Sea Fog’. It is directed by Shim Sung Bo who was the scriptwriter for ‘Memories of Murder’ that made Bong Jun Ho rise to fame as a director. The two of them are known to look at actors with excellent vision and are also very picky. Casting Park Yuchun means they have observed that, compared to his current value, he has more potential that can be drawn out by their directing skills.
A personnel from the film industry said, “There are few young actors who are very good right from the start. Because they are still growing, their potential is more important. It can be said that Bong Jun Ho and others like him saw Park Yuchun’s potential and that is why there are high expectations for his big screen debut ‘Sea Fog’.

Yoochun is a very good actor! Guys, let’s go on eatyourkimchi and vote for Jaejoong. Here’s the link: http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/kpopcharts/kim-jae-joong-just-another-girl/ . Also, use your facebook, email, twitter and comments…facebook and email earn him 4 points. But remember: don’t spam or else your comments will be deleted and we will actually end up losing points. We need to start discussions about JJ, his album, his songs, etc. Sorry if I insist too much on this, but I really want Jaejoong to win.
I have notice in a lot of Yuchun’s articles they barely mentioned ‘Miss Ripley’ as part of the drama he’s in. I heard from dome fans that its not a good drama. Is it true? Is it really that bad? I keep postponing on watching MR because of this reason actually. I have watched all his other dramas and I agree, Chunnie’s acting is very good since SKKS. Although I miss him as a singer, I think he’ll be better at acting. This dude has potential alright.
I personally stopped watching miss ripley after episode 8, and its not because of yoochuns acting, its just the drama was too melodramatic for me, i got bored and got a headache watching, also i just didnt like the lead actress falling for the lead actor who was way too old for her…. either way you should watch the first episode and see if u are interested in the story in general 🙂
I have to agree I ended up skipping to the last two eps just to see what happen! Chunnie was good and HE SANG! But the drama was awful!
Same here! I skipped directly to the last 2 eps just to know how it will end…… cuz the first 5 eps just doesn’t really make sense, plus i didn’t find the story plot interesting…..
BUT, i’ll still give this 8 out of 10 points, just becuz our yoochun was cast in this drama 🙂
Ah ty bb, I keep postponing it and I plan to watch it soon. I received inputs from other fans, and I got mix reviews. One hardcore Chunsa told me its Yuchun’s worst drama coz the lead actress and the plot weren’t good. I’m more curious now 🙂
Not sure what other were watching but Chunnie displayed well in Ms Ripley considering he is starting out it made me want to watch more of him not just because he was a singer.
I personally think Miss Ripley was decent. The storyline were a bit slow n boring and there was lack of chemistry between Yoochun & Lee Da Hae. I still however finished watching it because of Yoochun in it. Among all Yoochun’s dramas, Miss Ripley is my least favourite
Yup that’s what I heard too, that the two didn’t have good chemistry. I’m gonna give this drama a chance tho, and it’s because of Yuchun.
tbh yoochun and the other main guy were the only good thing for that drama. i think it lack logic, i tried hard to watch it but after a few epi i just skipped to the last part just to see how it ended and it wasnt well written.
Micky Yunchun is born a STAR!
A superstar who is great in anything he does!
Fighting!
Can’t wait to see him in Hollywood!
Jaesoe: I personally don’t like Miss Ripley for some reasons. I watched it because Yoochun was in there, but I could not keep my interest further like I did with his other drams. So, I guess people feel the same as me. However, I have to admit that Yoochun is the very good actor even though he is born to be singer at beginning. I love Yoochun! ❤
Hmm…..I also watched it because Chunnie was in, that is not an interesting drama indeed, but Chunnie did it well.
Yes….I love Yoochun, like everyone here do.
Many said its boring. This is why when critics talk about acting-doll and drama, they don’t usually talk about Yuchun in MR.
By the way, I cannot wait for Sea Frog and Three Days to come out soon. Yoochun oppa fighting!!!!!
I love how Chunnie gets his praises from the right persons. He really deserves all these praises, bias aside !!!
But please remain humble Chunnie!!! Best wishes for your continuing success!!!!
Proud that Yoochun worked his way to the recognition he is getting.. People think it was easy because he is already a popular idol-singer,, but it’s definitely not with all stereotyping on idol’s acting. To get critics’ approval is something we are really blessed and happy about ..
Yoochun’s talent is a gift but to be where he is now as an actor after 3 years is a result of his diligence in improving and his passion towards the craft. ❤
why great mastes choose park yoochun? simply because park yoochun is a very talented young man not only in acting but also singing. there’s so much in park yoochun that he can give. it’s unbelievable that after 4 tv dramas and 1 movie and 1 tv drama coming soon, park yoochun has gone a long way
*masters*
thats our park yoochun, very talented man..:-) as for miss ripley i only watched it once coz i ddnt like that story much, just watch it for chunnie.. m excited for sea fog and three days…
Woot, woot! I KNEW it! Watch Park Yoochun sing “Wrong Number” solo (YouTube) or watch him perform in that gaming commercial from last year! I knew right then that he had acting potential! Go get it, Yuchun!
Yeah, kinda weird that Miss Ripley is barely being mentioned.. though I love all of his 4 major tv dramas, my favorites were Miss Ripley & Rooftop Prince. Anyways, more power Yoochun! ~ all eyes on you now! \(^^)/
Yuchun is definitely natural born actor. He was born with acting gift. His diligent and always working hard attitude bring him to his current position, top young actor.
I cannot wait for Sea Fog & Three Days. Who can imagine to find Yoochun, infamous Bong Joon Ho and writer Kim Eun Hee in same sentence? I’m so proud of you, Yoochun-ah. Fighting!
Chunnie does show great potential I love him in what I have seen him in and cannot wait to see what he gives us in the future so excited for him and his acting career but even more so as he is a member of JYJ.
yoochun love love love…..
Chunnie..uaaah..in one sentence, he is my best actor ever..
He is absolutely talented!
that’s the way Yuchun proves himself. u r the best. mua~
This! “It is time to remove the tag “idol-born” before Park Yuchun’s name.”
Even tho I’ve never address him as an idol-actor coz I know him thru SKKS but some people being prejudice towards him because of that idol title..These 2 latest projects should open their minds now..go prove it Chun ahhh…
Park yoo chun is really a great actor and singer, He really good, and I like the way he sing too, he really serious with his job, so great job, wish you good luck, right now I waiting for seafog. Hope he succeed with his debut
