Park Yoo-chun proves himself as a new sought-after actor in Korean movie industry sweeping new male actor awards presented by critics. It is unprecedented an idol who turned an actor receives such awards.
He received the award for New Best Male Actor in the 15th Busan Movie Critics Award by Busan Movie critics association on the 27th. The association is well known for being strict in selecting the award winners based on the artistic value of the movie and the actor’s actual acting quality than the box office ranking.
Park Yoo-chun is the first award winner from the association among the idols who turned an actor. Those involved in movie industry are surprised by his scoring the award from the strict critics association.
He also received an award for new best male actor in the 34th Korean Movie Critics Association as well. Including the new best male actor award he received in the 51st Daejong Movie Festival, he received three awards for the same category this year.
He is also nominated as a new best male actor for Korea Blue Dragon (Cheongryong) Movie Award scheduled on the 17th of December.
He was casted as a youngest, humble sailor in “Haemoo” directed by Bong Joon-ho and showed a great acting last summer.
So far, the idol actors, Si Wan and Lee Joon have received excellent reviews, however, this is the first time an actor from idol groups to receive an award from critics association.
According to the comments he made at receiving the award, he said he would only focus on movie scenarios than TV dramas.
As he expresses his passion towards acting on the screen and the awards from the critics follow, he is drawing much attention and expectation from the Korean movie industry at the moment.
no more dramas? i can see why he feels that way cause once an actor has a taste for the process of movies, they usually prefer them but, it takes us so long to be able to watch them after they come out and i would be so sad to have to wait a long time to see him at all. but, he did not get all those awards for nothing
I know! The only sad thing in this article is >> “..he said he would only focus on movie scenarios than TV dramas.” :'((((((
Dear 6002, we are greedy, can we have you in both??? I’m missing my Chunface on tv…

I’m all ^___^ reading this article.
6002, you did all your supporters proud, keep it up baby! <33 ❤
I’m so proud my bb! Go yoochun
Congratulations Chunnie! All your hard work is being duly rewarded. As it should be. As for your choosing films over dramas, I can understand. The way Kdramas are scheduled for filming is insane! It is way too exhausting. So, you do what you have to for you. All the best to you Chunnie! 😉
Aww~ @baf2 is the sweetest and most supportive of all.
No. I’m not kidding, I mean it.
Rarely see you around but so glad to see you here showing the Park your support, hehe..
@baf2, I totally agree with you about the breakneck speed the weekly episodes, the dramas are churned out on Korean TV. But it’s hard for me to see him only on the big screen once a year for 100 over minutes. Dramas give me the chance to ogle over him. But I also value his health above all else.
Ladies – @Bubbly & @thecrazymama
Don’t get me wrong, I would love for Chunnie to keep doing dramas, because yes, it would give us more opportunities to see him. But I’m of the mind that what works for Yoochun’s peace of mind and his health is what is best.
The SK entertainment industry is not artist friendly. For the most part, those in dramas are given more arduous tasks than those in film. Sometimes they are doing a drama and a film at the same time, as Yoochun was.
I come from the West. And for those artists whom I like who are primarily movie actors, I have to wait until they do a film to see them. That’s my orientation. So, this is not new to me. I feel for those of you who experience this differently. But in the end, it really is what is best for Chunnie.
I am a non-bias JYJ fan who supports all three and will continue to do so for as long as I’m around. 😉
“I am a non-bias JYJ fan who supports all three..”
Well obviously! Everyone here should know by now, no? hha..
and please continue to stay so for a genuine non-bias fan like you is kind of hard to come by these days.. 😊
“..I’m of the mind that what works for Yoochun’s peace of mind and his health is what is best.”
Yup, gotta agree with this.. ^^
For the international screening n recognition, I will say Yes! Yes !Yes !
But for us , can we have you for all ? Sing , act , big screen , small screen , big stage , off stage ..
No doubt we r greedy but how can u blame us ? We r so missing u alr ..
i second that motion!
Yeah !
“Sing , act , big screen , small screen , big stage , off stage .. ”
Me wants ’em all~! ^__^
What? Choose just one? *pouts*
hhe, I’ll vote for a Micky solo album anytime << Impossible? Ofc I know~ but you can't stop me from dreaming, mwahahahhaha~~~^^
Jk. 6002 can transform into anything he wants and I'll still welcome his choice with open arms, and wae?
Simply b'coz he is 6002 and 6002 knows better! ;))) haha ha~^^
Micky solo album !! Yes! Yes! *raise hands**raise legs*
I know I know got to respect his choice … Since when we don’t but I am just asking for more choices ^_^
Hey you, put those legs down, it’s ugly! llol~~~~~~^^ jk!
We always respect his choice..
but at the same time, when we don’t see him surface, what do we do?
We dream. We dream for more YC, anything YC, just give me YC, the more the merrier…YC!!!!!! ❤ kekeke…
JYJ will always be pathfinders paving a way for other Kpop idols to follow whether in dramas, musicals or venturing to countries where no Kpop groups have performed before.
K-dramaland is now infiltrated with idols – some noteworthy, others cringeworthy. Our JYJ guys are now setting a higher benchmark for all idols in the field. I’m glad the industries recognize their worth and award them accordingly to silence the critics who pour scorn on idols-turned-actors.
Yoochun-ah, I’m so very very proud of you. While others are venturing into the China market, I hope to see you in a Hollywood blockbuster one day. That will be a dream come true.
I’m proud of yuchun really really proud , but chunnie please do both TV dramas are the only way people see you in TV
Bon sang, je vais devenir folle😨. IL FAUT QUE JE VOIE CE FILM 😠
For God’s sake, I am going to become crazy😨. I HAVE TO SEE THIS MOVIE 😠
Congratz, Chunnie. When I chose to become a fan after Sunkyundkwan Scandal, I knew that I made the right choice. Not only do I get honor to follow the birth of a serious actor, but also get the chance to love two other wonderful artists in JYJ.
As much as I will miss our Chunnie in drama land, I think he should concentrate doing movies because movies offer a lot more diverse roles and much better film-making schedule. But please do a drama every one in a while though.
Drama and a movie please…..for your fans outside Korea…
So proud to be Chunnie’s fan…no matter what your fans will always be here for you. Congratulations! More to come…..
Chun, please do both. Do the films for yourself and do the dramas for your fans. Please be considerate to your fans who only gets to see you in dramas. Thank you for your hard work.
What no more drama?!? I’m having mixed emotions about this. Happy or Sad? If he’s happy than I’m happy but really.. I guess I’m kinda sad. 😦
lets give our idol Yoo chun a break from the hectic drama schedules.He sustained a shoulder injury while doing 3days action drama and at the same time filming Haemoo.Maybe he needs to recover his shoulder injury,hence,slowing down on doing dramas on tv,so he can regain his health back.This is but temporary of which 6months required of him to heal and restore his health.Lets be patient and allow him to be happy and in top health..Do you agree guys????In as much as i would miss him on the small screen,his health is whats important.Continue to support Yoo Chun in all his dreams unconquered yet not impossible to reach…….
