‘Lucid Dream’ (Director: Kim Jun-seong, Production: Road Pictures) –the fantasy-thriller movie to which its release was indefinitely postponed with ‘Park Yuchun’s scandal’– decided on a release date of January 4th next year at the end of the long wait.
Recently [a] ‘Lucid Dream”s production crew [member] said via Sports Chosun, “There was a final decision that ‘Lucid Dream’, which was expected for a fall release this year, will be in the line-up of January next year”.
This production crew [member] explained, “Back when Park Yuchun faced a lawsuit on the suspicion of sexual assault the past June, ‘Lucid Dream’ production company and NEW had discussed a lot about setting the timing of its release. We were prepared for a fall release but were at a loss at the case that surfaced suddenly.
In particular, it is a non-editable situation where Park Yuchun is playing a hidden character who helps Go Soo[‘s character], the protagonist, in the film; and the production crew and NEW had to adjust for a release date, following to the direction arranged by his scandal case. Seeing such a timing, they decided on a release date of January 4, 2017″.
‘Lucid Dream’ –Park Yuchun’s last work before enlisting– placed its name in this year’s fall line-up after entering in its first shooting in April last year, having its crank-up in June that year, and going through post-production for 1 year.
After ordering the hit ‘Descendants of the Sun’, a KBS2 drama in the first half of the year, investor & distributor NEW gathered anticipations as much as in their fall line-up and in many ways.
However in June a situation, to which Park Yuchun’s case unraveled and indefinitely postponed the release date, happened. Internally, opinions saying ‘edit the amount of Park Yuchun to the maximum and let’s open’ were considerable but this also made for a tough situation. They were limited by an amount that can edit the movie’s storyline.
After being stuck in a predicament in many ways and having indefinitely postponed its fall release once, ‘Lucid Dream’ had to watch the flow of timing.
Meanwhile, because Park Yuchun got cleared of suspicions completely, ‘Lucid Dream’ was confirmed for a release date of January 4th next year after there was discussion over the timing of its release again. It is expected that the amount of Park Yuchun is included, unedited and intact.
On the other hand, ‘Lucid Dream’ is a fantasy-thriller that portrays a desperate struggle where a man, who lost his son 3 years prior, moves in and out between dreaming and reality while discovering clues through lucid dream[ing]. It stars Go Soo, Sol Kyung-gu, Kang Hye-jung, Park In-hwan, Chun Ho-jin, and Park Yuchun; and is Director Kim Jun-seong’s the first commercial movie and debut work. It will be released on January 4, 2017.

OMG, I’m so happy! Can’t wait to see the movie! And i’ve heard that miss A’s bail was rejected! Today we had only good news! Chunnie, fighting!
I heard that too! 🙂 Honestly I don’t think it would do any good, if they let her out at this point.
I’m so looking forward to seeing this film, the plot sounds so interesting.
Reblogged this on annayooch's Blog.
Luckily, this production company knows what is best for them. Had they edited Yoochun’s part out, they would face a massive boycott as well as a petition from Yoochun’s fans.
The haters are out but this time, instead of feeling upset, I’m actually gleeful because these haters are now howling with frustration. Yoochun is back to leading his own life while the one the haters insisted was a “rape victim” is currently sitting in jail.
Another piece of good news is that the anti-graft law comes into effect in South Korea today and one targeted group are the journalists. No more lavish meals or hefty bribes hidden in the form of birthday gifts. I’m sure the authorities cannot afford to turn a blind eye to this anymore. No wonder the news front had been rather quiet. Lol, the SK journalists’ side income had been severely curtailed.
Good news and it’s great that they didn’t edit Yoochun scenes, I have mixed feelings about the results of the movie I just hope it’s well written and well filmed because if it is not it will flop but Yoochun will be blamed instead. I hope it well be a success !
me too. and hopefully miss A is doing a bit of reflecting on her life while spending time in the slammer. actually facing herself and what she has done.
Praying hard that movie makes a big success and prove yoochun has wonderful future. Thus it shuts the mouth of haters.
👏👏👏👍
Oh! Thanks heavens! My prayers have really been answered this week. 🙂
YAY! There is God!
Love that “hopefully Miss a is doing some reflecting on her life” @koreamom. More than nice to have good news!!
It makes me sad that they even considered editing Yuchun’s part in the film. Too bad they didn’t have enough confidence in him to know he would never do anything wrong, but at least it will be released, then the public can show them how popular Yuchun still is.
Good POINT! Release the film and LET US AT IT. We’ll show them how massively popular a star Yuchun is. 🙂
Well ladies, this will be a Big Test! When January comes perhaps The Trial will be history and the bad people will be in jail. Thankfully, Yuchun will then have his opportunity to show what he is made of. A strong man and a strong accomplished actor…..recongnized only for that and nothing more or less! I agree with jaechunsu…. this better be a well written, well produced movie….we DO NOT want the blame for a dog of a movie to fall on Chunnie. He has been successful with his choice of Sea Fog….this will be a good choice too! Chunnie….hwaiting!
Sooo glad to hear this news. AKTF.
I know Chunnie’s part in this is only small, but hopefully this movie will be a big success & be the start of his climb back up the entertainment ladder. I’m sure he can come back if he wants too. My only fear is he might have been so traumatised by what happened that he might want to quit being a public figure altogether. (Sorry for being depressing, JYJ3 is the only place I can talk about JYJ.)
That is also something that I worry about a lot, Sapphie. It wouldn’t be too hard to imagine the anger he felt at being so mercilessly publicly shamed by the media and even some of his supposed “fans” after how hard he has worked to build a career over the last 10 years. He may be THROUGH with it, at this point. But my own theory there is that Jaejoong will not hear him quitting: he will encourage Yuchun to stand back up, take a deep breath and fight on, just as they’ve always had to do. That’s what I’m counting on, actually. The power of JYJ together is a very compelling thing and it’s been strengthened immeasurably more by the work each has done separately. I don’t think either Jae or Junsu will stand for Chunnie retreating into private life. In any case, he’ll have another year to think it over and get periodic pep talks from Jae and Su. 🙂
i agree with you! jj and js will not stand back and let yc leave all that he and they have worked for for the last 10 years. who better than jj to get pep talks from? who better than js to remind him of how hard he has worked and how much they both love him. i love your last sentence. a year to work it out and get periodic pep talks! and cheers from us.
*Big Smiles!* xxoo
My feeling is that it’s one thing to leave the business on your own, but another to be pushed out. The way JYJ has fought for their careers against all obstacles isn’t for the weak, so I can’t imagine Yuchun suddenly backing away from it. With the support of his family, friends and loyal fans, I can imagine Yuchun getting stronger and fighting back because he’s pissed at what happened. I really believe that if he chooses, his career will be bigger than it was before all the media circus tried to destroy it.
And I really really want YOU to be right, Kimberly. 🙂
Kimberly is right. Yuchun’s come back will be bigger than before cuz he’s a fighter, and he has US (the loyal fans)!
**two big THUMBS UP!**
Thanks everyone for your positivity & @KimberlyJ you’re quite right, choosing to leave is one thing but being forced out, especially over such heinous lies is another. Sometimes I really wish JYJ could read English & visit JYJ3 to see how much their international fans love & believe in them.
Me too Shapphire❗️Are there more loyal fans of JYJ anywhere than us? Never wavering….ever true‼️
I had not yet worried about whether Lucid Dreams would be well-written (and etc.). But, you’re so right, Georgia Peach. JJ will be back a few days before the film opens and I’ve little doubt that this will be a huge personal, private, comfort for Yuchun. It’s hard not to feel nervous, but Yuchun and all three members have shown incredible strength time after time. But, as the expression on my little purple icon suggests, l’m going to be worrying. Fighting!
Like movies here in the states….I presume there will be a premier night where the Stars of the movie will walk a red carpet and such. Will Yuchun be able to attend since he is doing public service? Will the producers want him there? If he is able to attend…will Jae and Junsu be there for him? Not on the carpet, but perhaps with him during the movie? Well, on second thought… I doubt this! But you are right, cate, I’m sure as everything they will be supporting him every way they can when this movie premiers. YUCHUN FIGHTING ❗️
EVERYONE….DONT FORGET❗️#WATCH FOR YUCHUN…..STARTS OCTOBER 1‼️
It’s October 1 – heading to dramafever with a smile on my face at this good news and just waiting for the original mess to end!😊
1st day ….finish watching I Miss You epi 3 for today. Will continue tomorrow for epi 4 to 6 at dramacool.
I am officially an emotional wreck and I’m only 4 episodes into Bogoshipda! So many tears for the second viewing…I’m a mess! Yuchun will appear in this next episode! The preview showed Yuchun/Jung Woo saying very angrily “I endure it”!!!! That’s the spirit Park Yuchun!
P.S. I’m not a day late! It’s the 1st of October where I live!
I’m watching two concurrently – RTP and TGWSS.
It’s still 1st October for me too. Happy viewing, everyone!
I’m watching I Miss You on dramacool since yesterday…Actually I’ve been watching all of Yoochun oppa drama and rewatching my favourite scenes since several months ago. Cant get enough of his superb acting… So nice to have many watching buddies now. Happy watching ladies!
Yes Arumi…happy watching! It’s 11:00pm here and I’m been with Chunnie since 10:00am. But I’m going to bed with swollen eyes and tears stil wet on my cheeks from watching Bogoshipda. Will finish tomorrow/Monday? Oh those Chunnie tears! 😢😢😢
his acting does have that effect on you. 😦 but its a good sad cause he is so good! 🙂 i just have to start with sungkyung kwon scandel first. chun in saeguk clothes melts me fast!
Koreamom…in episodes 9 and 10 we have collarbones showing! Can’t wait for that first Chunnie kiss with those Chunnie tears flowing! I cried again in episode 10 where he was eating the food his ‘mom’ brought. He still has so much love and hope for SY that she will accept him and forgive him for what he did as a child! He had just had the conversation with Soo Yeon/Zoey where she told him that if she were SY she would kill him first….and his reply was he still wanted her to be SY even if she was going to kill him. The director has not spared the clossups for Yuchun. Nor the side shots that show his long eyelashes! Enjoying this so much this time….catching nuances that I missed the first viewing. Know more Korean now so I’m not so glued to the subs.
Yeah….Chun in a hanbok! 😘😘❤️️❤️️😘😘
that might have to be my second show then! always need me some chun collarbones LOL! and smile and face and hair and etc etc etc. oh and his strong acting doesn’t hurt either ❤
Sorry to be soooo long in responding…..yes Chunnie tears are bittersweet to see. They come from somewhere deep inside him. I don’t think that can be learned. When American actors cry…it just looks like they’ve poked themselves in the eye to produce tears. Chunnie’s tears are so different!
I think “I Miss You” is going to be my next one.I remember really liking it when I watched it the first time. 🙂
Omo, Georgia Peach, you should rest your eyes between episodes and stock some more tissues as well. There will be many tears ahead. ='(“””
@koreamom Lee seon joon! <3<3<3
@lilibaiyu Hope you like it more at the second time. =)
Arumi, thank you for your concern! Chunnie has beautiful tears and I can’t wait to get to the next episode! Hope you are enjoying watching our Yuchun too in Bogoshipda…..smiles and tears, smiles and tears. We do get a few Chunnie faces here and there, don’t we? Had you seen this drama before?
You’re welcome! Yes,this is the second time I watch this drama… How about you? Is this your first time to get such swollen eyes? =D
You’re right, we can find so many chunfaces, the good quality ones, in I Miss You. His tears for Sooyeon, his calling “Darling” to Sooyeon’s mother… Aw,,Han Jungwoo is love! I think the year 2012 is Yoochun oppa era. I regret not discovering him earlier! =( I hope he knows that we still want to watch him and he still wants to do drama in the future.
No, Arumi, this is not my first viewing of I Miss You. I originally watched it for Yeo Jin Goo from Moon Embracing the Sun. This was probably in the first five dramas I watched after watching METS. Really did not know who the lead was….can you imagine, I did not know who Park Yuchun was!!! I had already watched Dr. Jin with Jae, but had not made any connections yet! I quickly fell in love with those beautiful tears of sincerity shed by this led actor in IMY! Not sure at what point I made connections…but now there is not going back! I have watched all of Yuchun’s dramas…if I remember right Miss Ripley was my next Yuchun drama, but again it was just good fortune I watched it. The plot seemed to be interesting and when watching…..I recognized Yuchun’s face from IMY. Did not watch RTP or SKKS or 3D’s or TGWSS until I made the connection of Chunnie and JYJ. In episode 13….we got a Chunnie kiss AND Chunnie tears….my basket is full to overflowing. Off to view more…didn’t get to watch so much yesterday and I’m getting a late start today!
BTW…I love your English!
GP, I’m also a huge fan of Yeo Jin Goo and MTETS. I loved the drama, drooled over Song Jae Rim and have watched it a couple of times now. 🙂
Yes, know that drool for SJR…AND Jung Il Woo. METS was my very first KDrama! What a way to get your appetite wetted for KDramas! From there…Dr. Jin…..OMO,OMO,OMO‼️
Can anyone tell me how in episode 13 of IMY….evil father to Jung Woo….Han Tae Joon…knows Kang Hyung Joon
/Harry is back? I must have missed something!
Thank you Georgia Peach! I’m actually a bit nervous in every comment and happy enough that the ladies here understand my language. =D
Back then in 2012 I was even not into kdrama yet! Haha… I thought what is Rooftop Prince? Why Rooftop? Who is this actor that my girl friends are so noisy talking about him? Is he that cute? Is he that talented? Maybe he’s just so-so in acting but really handsome…… I didn’t know anything about Park Yoochun! I’m sorry.. And now I search his name and photos everyday on google and twitter. I watched all his drama and youtube videos of him singing. Karma is real, man.
I love Yeo Jin Goo too! Talented deep-voiced actors always make me swoon!
And about that episode 13, how Han Tae Joon found out about Kang Hyun Joon?
At nearly the end of episode 12, Han Tae Joon got a package from Kang Sang Chul. Inside that package is an IV tube art in the shape of a bicycle. He then remembered seeing that plastic bicycle in Kang Hyun Joon mom room, where Han Tae Joon imprisoned her. He thought that KHJ must had sent the package to warn him that KHJ is still alive and about to revenge HTJ and his family. I hope it answers your question. =)
Thank you Arumi for the info on how evil dad knew about Harry. My heart breaks for Harry….he is such a damaged person. I do remember evil dad getting the bicycle and looking in his drawer for the one she threw at his feet. And I do remember Harry having a collection of those items made from medical tubing. I presumed he got those from his mom via the nurse that took him away while mom was in the first hospital. Wow, what a plot!
I didn’t know KDrama in 2012 either….well maybe not until late 2012 and early ’13. So glad I found them. Mush, much better than American tv. 😖😖😖. So many grand talented actors and actresses…. Off to watch more of IMY. I had to take a mental health break…..gosh I love this drama!
Are I. Bravo. Your English is fine. Thanks for sharing.
so are we having so much fun! this was a great idea! overdose on chun!
Yes, yes, koreamom you must watch Bogoshipda! So many Yuchun close ups and Yuchun eyelashes! Remember how we went collarbone crazy in Rooftop Prince? Yuchun’s wardrobe in IMY suits him so very well. Dark tight jeans and close fitting sweaters! Great coat and jacket collars that frame his face! Swoon, swoon! ENJOY, ENJOY❗️Yuchun has a real sexy walk too! Strong and determined all through this drama!
I love the way Yuchun moves, just in general – I so agree about his walk – even the way he runs is so beautiful to watch. I always thought he was the most under rated dancer, too. I LOVE watching him dance, he always looks so cool and moves so beautifully.
Lilibaiyu, I agree….the way he moves is super cool. Yuchun has that easy going, smexy cool about him. And he does dance well…again smooth and easy. Not too much hunchy moves, but lots of e a s y moves of his body as he sways to the music. Love the way he’ll cock his head, look down then up with his dance moves….can you tell I have watched a lot of Yuchun focus on YouTube?
I’m pretty sure I will like it more the second time around, especially when I’ve watched the drama 2 episodes a week at a time when it first came out. I like to watch several episodes at once, then more the next day, etc. I get better story continuity that way, and I also seem to notice things I missed the first time around.
Yeah, I like to watch at least three hours of a drama at a time and those being one day after the other….hate the week of waiting. Will discipline myself to wait until a drama is finished or nearly so before I start it. But with IMY….you will have to steel yourself….the emotional drain can be difficult if you watch it episode after episode. Wish I could say happy watching….
Can you tell I’m having computer problems…..answered everybody …waiting on a restore🙁☹️🙁
me too! i get to impatient having to wait each week. i remember details better too if i can watch several in a row
I miss you was too emotional ! I’m watching Rooftop prince and The girl who sees smell !
Just finished re-watching Rooftop for the umpteen times! And still enjoy it so much. On to SSK, another favorite of mine! Happy watching everyone!!!
I’m watching I Miss You, on dramafever which doesn’t really run that well on my computer, so I’m also watching RTP on Vicki. Happy, sad, happy, sad, that’s what Yuchun does to me, but I love it.
He was just so damned gorgeous in SKKS – I remember the first time I saw it I think I had my mouth hanging open the whole time I was watching it. (and Yoo Ah In wasn’t all that bad to look at either.) 😀
Is there any kind of list or order that we should do? I’m halfway thru I miss you and don’t know which is the next best one to do.I liked sensory couple and rooftop prince a lot. Any suggestions? I’d like to be able to put one of his dramas in the top 10 weekly list!
Well, if you ask me :
1. Tgwss
2. Rooftop prince
3. Three days
4. Miss u
5. Sea fog
6. Skks
7. Miss ripley ><'
I like your list! Will at least try to watch the first two also. I don’t know if it will register as much as I’d like it to on dramafever. I really would like to make an impact on their ratings system but I’m afraid we might be too scattered on our choices. Still gonna watch and enjoy it!
Me too, like your list but Skks is my top on list, i like all the actors there..i love yuchun character..everyone has chemistry in that drama..i never get tired of re-watching it…for me it\s more fun to watched yuchun in comedy.. i”m stil halfway in i miss you.
same as my list !!
My list is
1-RTP
2-missing you
3-SKKS
4-3days
5-TWSS
6-Miss Ripley
I am in half way I should add see for too
Hi Jaechunsu – Isn’t it interesting: “Miss Ripley” seems to be at the bottom of more than a few lists, and at the time it first came out I remember that it was exciting that Chunnie was paired with such a famous actress as Lee Da Hae. I may watch it again next after I’ve finished “I Miss You.” My initial reaction to the drama was that Yuchun was struggling with his character. It’s so hard to know how much of an actor’s performance is purely his own and how significant the director’s input into it has been. I remember thinking at the time I first watched it that Chunnnie’s performance seemed static, expressionless and almost paralyzed at times. Since then, I have become aware and have noticed repeatedly what I have now dubbed “The Asian Stare” in K-drama acting. It’s endemic across multiple time-frames, both historical and modern day-set genres. So I will now re-watch “Miss Ripley” with this new mindset firmly in place and see what I think. 🙂
personally I think the drama was kind of female lead centred that’s why I didn’t like it much (it’s my least favorite chunnie drama) I will actually will xatch purely to remember Yoochun’s acting there, his character wasn’t the kind of characters I like I think Yoochun struggled with it because it’s far from his personality too but Yoochun defenitly improved alot after the drama, for me the turning point of his career is RTP he slayed the role and proved him self as an actor.
Just finished Sungkyunkwan Scandal this evening. I certainly wouldn’t mind watching another Yuchun program. I would like to suggest Rooftop Prince as a drama to restore to the top ten.
Have anyone watch miss ripley?..huhu,I still can’t watch that one till the end..I’m trying, but…deng
I have watched Miss Ripley……Yuchun sings and plays the piano. The song is The Empty Space For You. This is a good drama and Yuchun is excellent in it. It’s another melodrama. Worth the watch! Think it was his next drama after SKKS!
Thanks @Georgia peach !! …somehow when I watch this one, I feel some pressures on him to potray the character..he seems struggling.I don’t know..and it’s story line, just make me sick..I’m sorry,hii..hope I can make it to the end this time ^^
Sorry, I misunderstood. Thought that you had not even started this drama. I did finish it and I guess Yuchun being a new actor had some problems. But…. all in all just being able to look at him was good! I also thought he was having difficulties with the character. But it was a good learning curve for him and he is so very much improved.
Someone (somewhere) wrote that Yuchun in SKKS was simply cute and sweet. I do think that, but he shows, to me, beautiful constrained emotion. Actually that was one of the finest portrayals I’ve seen regarding the pain young man feels for fallingin love with another man. Of course, he wasn’t actually . . . but still he showed both the heartbreak of loving “the wrong” person and also a relatable stoical adherence to his principles. He made that character’s dilemma and pain so real to me. These sentences are too long and hard to read. Sorry. I just wanted to say.
Not at all long, cate. I agree with you. For his first acting assignment I also thought he had a wonderful performance. As you say he showed the dilemma quite well. As I remember….it was a huge struggle he experienced. Thank you for that insightful comment.
Today I started watching Miss Ripley after finished I Miss You. I really wish to finish these 2 drama of Yuchun since I only watched these dramas 1 time only. It was too emotional to me…its seem so real (means when I watched the dramas its seem it really happen in real life for Yuchun…so hard and sad) and I don’t like it if things were hard and sad for Yuchun (Jaejoong and Junsu too). while for other Yuchun drama like SKKS, TGWSS, Rooftop prince and 3 days I have already rewatched it for umpteen times already. Then seafog is on my next list after Miss Ripley.
Everyone…lets enjoy Yuchun dramas week together.
Finished I miss you and am halfway thru tgwss and it’s nice to be reminded of how much I enjoy his dramas!
Small confession-I actually didn’t know jyj music when I heard jaejoong’s beautiful voice on a soundtrack-then I accidentally stumbled onto junsu’s flower video and went “Wow!” and STILL didn’t realize jyj existed and then saw yuchun in skks and thought”hmmm-a lot of the actors also sing- I wonder if he does too?” If ever there was a “duh!” moment! Anyway, found their music and loved it! Separately their voices are absolutely terrific but when they all blend together it’s unbeatable. I also love yuchun’s ability to make every drama worth watching. Should be able to watch rooftop prince tomorrow. Now if I could only figure out how to cook and read subtitles at the same time—
Oh girl, you have made me laugh out loud this morning! How to read subtitles and cook at the same time! I feel your pain😀😀😀. And thank you for your story on how you found JYJ. It mirrors many of our stories of discovery. How grand to discover these talented men of Korea! Was the soundtrack of Jae’s voice from all OST? Were you watching one of his dramas and just did not know what good stuff you were watching? I first saw Jae in Dr. Jin…thinking he was beautiful…I went to the Internet and the rest is history! Sooooo agree with the blending of their three voices….MAGIC.
HAPPY YUCHUN WATCHING 🖥👀‼️
Jae did a good job acting in Dr Jin. Actually it was”Protect the boss” and it was the way he sings from a smooth pure voice to that powerful swell that made me go “WHO is that?” and find out his name. Junsu’s voice in “Scent of a woman” was another revelation but I didn’t connect it to him until I saw Flower.Yuhun seemed so darn likeable and cute in skks that I became curious about him and the rest is history! My family and friends half groan when I put on my music but three of them bought me books and cd’s on learning Korean (One of them bought me a book on how to cuss in Korean-you know, the important stuff😁) Now I’m hooked and a strong jyj fan so at this point I’m gonna just sit here eating my burnt toast and smile while I watch another yuchun goodie on dramafever😊 Happy watching!
Yes, yes, yes….you sound like my voyage of discovery. Think lots of us who watched Scent of a Women discovered Junsu while watching. But it took me a while to connect the Junsu dots from SOAW to JYJ. I was there for Lee Dong Wook. My direct route to JYJ was through Jae Joong. Then Junsu then Yuchun. I know the sound of that groan from family and friends….none have bought me books…. (I do have a guide book to Seoul and the hot spots where dramas have been filmed and where interviews have been done..one of Yuchun’s cafe interview spots is in there. I found a Korean girl on eBay and bought some things from her…she sent me the books as a thank you for the University of Georgia tshirt I sent her)…..or a ticket to Korea yet. However, I have often been asked when I’m going….I tell them all I need is a TICKET for a concert or fan meeting and I’m off on a fast plane!
Jae’s voice is remarkable. I have never heard such a distinctively beautiful voice. So pleasing to my ear….he is like honey poured over navy velvet. And his tenor voice still retains that velvet touch no matter how high he goes.
Enjoy your watching….I’ll be there with you later in the day!
“Your Are So Beautiful” from Scent Of A Woman is still one of my favorite Junsu tracks. His voice is just freakin’ gorgeous on that track.
I also really love “Too Love” from SKKS. He’s great on that song too. I discovered Our Guys via OST also. They sang the main theme to “The Legend” starring Bae Yong Jun. The song played at the beginning and end of each episode and I did the same thing…. “WHO are these voices???” I especially found myself enthralled with Jaejoong’s voice at first. I checked them out on Youtube and the rest is history. lol
Hello everyone! First of all… I’m so glad to hear this news!! I hope the movie will do well for Yuchun’s sake! Even though he is not the lead, there will be a lot of pressure on him because of his involvement. I’m praying it will be a good thing for his career!
Secondly, I’m sorry I haven’t been active lately! Life has been a bit crazy, but you’ve all been in my thoughts! 💜
Just a bit of an update… Watch for Yuchun has been going really well! I have been overwhelmed by the international response to it. K-fans plan on extending it for 4 months by watching one episode of his dramas per night, which I personally think is a great idea.
Also… This is something for all of you! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CuNQvCpWcAAahpF?format=jpg&name=large There have been so many people who have helped with this project, but it was because of all of you that I ever dared to think it possible! Even though many of you are not even Chunsas, you have given Yuchun your support and love during all of this, and I’m deeply honored to know such amazing women!
You all have a very special place in my heart! Thank you!!!! 💜💜💜
so good to hear from you again! sorry, i meant to send you a message but i just can’t get to things lately. i love this idea of extending it and watching one a night which is what i have been doing. that way i can fit all of them into my crazy life ❤ it is SO fun spending time with chunnie every day again. this was a great idea and i am so happy so many others have supported it and are doing it also.
@koreamom, You don’t know how much I’ve missed talking to you and the ladies here! I hope you’ve been well! ❤️ I promise I didn’t forget about you… I’m afraid I’m just not very good at multitasking, unfortunately! 😔 I’ve been reading through everyone’s comments though, and keep nodding my head in agreement with everyone. 🙂
I’m also going to do one episode a night. It makes me very happy seeing so many fans supporting him this way! Hopefully it will help his career, and in the meantime give us a fun way to wait for his discharge. 😊
Which one of his dramas are you watching right now? I finally finished I Miss You and now I’ve begun SKKS.
i am on SKKS first. am a bit behind but i will catch up! i think i will go to i miss you next 🙂 i know all about crazy schedules. it has got to settle down for a while cause i am loving a chun a day viewing! can’t get enough of him til forever!
Totally agree, koreamom! A Chun a day keeps the frowns away! 😊
I may be the only person left who hadn’t seen Rooftop Prince. By the end of the 1st episode I could see why it was so popular. It hadn’t appealed earlier, but I’ve been loving it. Yuchun’s acting really does shine in this (and most of the cast is terrific). I’ve two episodes left. I’d seen the notice, but hadn’t quite understood, so your explanation helped (@Seryn). I’ve not yet watched Miss Ripley and watching only one episode a night should keep the sadness/angst of it down. Glad to see you here again, Seryn
I’ve been having trouble posting. Likely I’m doing something stupid, but . . . Anyway, I’ll just say welcome back Seryn! I’m watching Rooftop Prince and loving it. Two episodes left.
Hi! I’ve been having trouble posting lately and have no idea what I’m doing wrong. So . . . I’ll just say that it’s happy to see your words here, Seryn. I skimmed that notice too quickly and your explaining here helped (@Seryn). I love one episode a night for four months. Right now, I’m watching Rooftop Prince, which I’ve not watched before. I’ve two episodes left, and I’m loving it. For one per night, I’m going back to Miss Ripley. Maybe one episode at a time will mean the angst won’t get to me as much. Yuchun’s so excellent in RP!!
Hi, Catherine! 😊 Yes. I really like the 1 episode a night plan too! I’ve been rewatching SKKS. It’s amazing to me that it was his first acting job. There isn’t even a hint of that in his performance!
Rooftop Prince is one of my favorites. The first few episodes while they are still adjusting to the modern world made me laugh so hard I was crying!
Even though he is wonderful in all of the roles I’ve seen him play, I have a soft spot for any scene in which he gets to use his great comedic timing!
Be prepared for the ending though… It also made me cry, but for entirely different reasons. Yuchun certainly has a gift for picking stories that pull the heartstrings!
Actually, it’s not his first. Scout out the DVD “Vacation” which is a video he did while a member of DBSK. Each member had a vignette of his (fictional) experience on a much needed vacation finally granted by “the manager” and Yuchun shows quite clearly in it that he has a BIG future as an actor.
Oh nice! Thanks for telling me! 😊 I didn’t know about that. I think I was just remebering that SKKS was his first major acting job. Anyway… I will definitely look it up! I’m sure he’s great even at that stage… He seems like he was born to be an actor!
Actually, in DBSK5 days they had training in acting and had a good number of the so called Banjun dramas, e.g. Dating on Earth (with Y&C and JJ as the main), Dangerous Love, First Love, Unforgettable Love, The King’s Man parody and so on.
Actually, as DBSK5 they had acting lessons and made quite a few of the so called BANJUN Dramas, e.g. First Love, Dating on Earth, Dangerous Love, The King’s Man Parody, Unforgettable Love, Beautiful Life, etc.
Thank you so much, anna lisa! 💜 I’ll be looking these up too! 😊
If I’m not mistaken this is where you will find Yuchun’s Holdin Back The Tears!
Seryn, you will so enjoy Vacation! They look like they are having lots of fun….even if they were being filmed. And the Bunyan series is cute too! In one Junsu gets lost and everyone thinks he was kidnapped…the best I remember! Tho other one with “the red statue” and Jae Joong….I didn’t like so much😕 But watch it…Yuchun’s was good I just will need to watch it again …. can’t remember so well exactly what it was! Apologizes!
yes! they are an easy fun watch!
I just saw this on my twitter timeline, courtesy of @6002sky team & @Chunnie Del Rey – Korean fans are working hard to change the associated words that come up on Naver when anyone types in Chunnie’s name, from the recent negative keywords to positive keywords celebrating Chunnie’s many successes & achievements. It’s really simple & easy for us I-fans to help, just go to this address https://twishort.com/A9jlc & click on the links provided. 🙂
Thanks for posting this, Sapphire! 🙂 I’ve put the link on my twitter profile and will be joining everybody in the efforts.
Just a thought… I am completely inept with technology, so I have no idea if this is feasible, but does anyone know if there a way we could do this for the google search engine as well?
Is there any way (aside from bombarding Google) that we could do this? I would really love to bury all that garbage coverage if possible. An episode a day is easily done, so maybe we could add a few google clicks a day? Is this doable or at all practical? I’m also technologically challenged so bad that it’s ridiculous. 😊
My theory, based on what the k-fans are doing, is that there would have to be enough of us entering positive search terms, (The key search words that come up automatically when you type something, due to their frequency of use.) to replace the negative ones that are currently appearing. We would have to make a list of those search terms and, as a group, use them to “cleanse” the old ones related to the case.
Does that make sense? I don’t know if I’m right. I’m just relating what I believe is being done with Naver, and thinking that maybe the same principle would apply to Google.
Also… Yes! I know what you mean! As I stated earlier, I am now using twitter…. 😱 Mostly to keep up with news and help with these kinds of campaigns. I have no clue what I’m doing though. lol (Just like when I first started commenting here!) I’m winging it and hoping I don’t do anything too stupid! *fingers crossed*
Yuchun really has no idea what kind of effect he has! He makes you care so much that even an extremely timid person like me has found herself doing all sorts of frightening things just so she can help in some small way! I so hope all of this ends soon so he can go on with his life and heal from everything that’s happened! 😔
Anyway… My apologies for rambling on so long! This comment wasn’t intended to turn into a short novel! lol ☺️
I just saw on twitter that it’s already the 13th, the day of the trial. I hope news about her trial travels quickly. It makes me nervous, to say the very least. But, it’s a relief the day is here.
@Sapphire @Seryn: I did those clicks in response to the post @6002sky team — and like your idea of replacing negative terms on google. I’m not sure how something like that gets changed. I’ll be glad for non-techie advise on what to do.
It’s soooo good you’ve got some understanding!
I’ve simply been searching under Park Yuchun and Park Yoochun and news. Most of the time lately, I’ve had more fair minded articles come up first. But two days earlier this week, a nasty one was first in line.
If Yuchun had no idea of “the kind of effect he has” for giving people the courage to mobilize for his good, I bet he’s got an idea now. I hope so, and I hope it helps.
Good morning! I just wanted to let everyone here know that from what I’m seeing on twitter, Ms. Lee denied all charges, (unsurprisingly) and her next trial date is set for Nov. 13th. Also, Yuchun will be summoned to testify against her as a witness for the prosecution on Nov. 24th.
I would dearly love for all of this to move more quickly, but we’re just going to have to be patient. Everything in life happens for a reason. Looking back over seemingly frustrating setbacks and bad experiences I’ve had, I can honestly say now that each one actually benefited me in the end; either by allowing time for something better to developed, or by helping me grow. That is what I pray is happening in Yuchun’s life right now. I’m also continuing to pray he’ll have the strength he needs to get through this!
Blessings to you all!
@Cate, Thank you for your sweet words! I’m glad to be back. I’d missed talking to all of you! 🙂
thank you for that news. yes, it calls for great patience. i love what you said too, about trials turning to your benefit and making you stronger~
@koreamom You’re very welcome! 🙂 💜
You’re welcome, completely!
And remember, we’ve got almost a whole year to turn this thing around for him. We’ll do it! Chunnie’s fans are the best! 🙂
Yes, I totally agree! Let’s be patient and keep fighting for the duration! 🙏🏻💙💪🏻
Also… Just another brief twitter update for everybody: They are saying that the judge has recommended a closed session for Yuchun’s testimony, which means press will not be allowed. I’m really praying that happens. That should go a long way toward protecting him from more biased reporting.
So far, I have really appreciated how the judge presiding over this case has handled everything. He seems sensible and fair. It gives me a lot of hope for a favorable outcome overall!
This is some of the best news I have heard in all of this horror. This judge does not want a media circus in his court room. This also says this judge is taking the charges against this woman as serious business. I am presuming this is a trial before a judge/judges rather than before a jury?
i love your positivity!
@Georgia Peach Although Korea recently introduced trials with the participation of jury, it’s only for very serious crime cases.
This case is in a district court which means a one judge bench or if it becomes complicated a three judges bench.
Thanks Anna Liza, thought I had seen only judges in a court room in dramas, but I wasn’t sure that was the norm. How have you been, girlfriend? Hope your trip home was good for you and yours! Oh girl, how my heart races at the thought of December 30‼️ I predict the crowds will be huge for Jae’s walk though the main gate‼️‼️‼️ I just want to do a Snoopy dance with excitement‼️ By then I hope Yuchun’s horror will be over!
so happy to hear the judge appears to be sensible. i am hoping for a swift end to all this circus.
AMEN and AMEN!!! Goodness, if we wish for it so much….how much more Yuchun, his family, Junsu and Jae Joong!
@Cate
Hi everyone. Cate, just click on the links provided in that twitter & it will automatically take you to the Naver addresses set up by Kfans with articles detailing Chun’s accomplishments. You don’t have to do anything more than that. You can click on the links multiple times too, but preferably not in the same order every time. 🙂
I don’t know if we can do this with google, unless we had blogs set up where we could write positive articles about him, & then provide the links to those blogs/articles for everyone to click on.
but i love chunnie to most! ❤
lol… I completely understand! 💜
the
I got way too greedy and just wanted all the court stuff done and dusted this week. But since it does look as though the judge is doing okay, I won’t complain too much. One thing that worries me though is whether the time the two are spending in jail is going to mean their punishment will be light. I’m not usually lusting after someone to be punished. It’s just me thinking that a severe punishment could help some people lose their hateful attitudes. It’s an uncontrollable, unfortunately.
I’m so glad you mentioned we’ve time for helping before his ms is completed (@ lilibaijy). It helps to be reminded.
There is a real change – and hopefully a permanent one – at google search. I noticed it improving ever since Yuchun hired the lawyer who worked on the SM case: I’ve wondered if that made an impact or if it was simple coincidence. Whatever. It’s better , and I hope it stays that way.
I did start finally start watching Miss Ripley and am at Episode 3 – and still breathing deeply, Seryn. If I thought it would end happily, I’d be liking it.
To all: Sorry I did that series of posts a few days ago. Obviously, I thought mistakenly that I wasn’t posting.
Best to you all. Cate
Hi Cate! Since you’ve started Miss Ripley, I thought I would share this with you and anybody else here who would like to watch it. It’s an in-depth interview that Yuchun did for the dvd of Miss Ripley. He discusses what drew him to the role and several other things interesting things. Enjoy! 🙂
Oops!! I just realized I didn’t post the link. 😳 😂 Here it is… https://youtu.be/uZ-bgrJolGQ
And NOW I see that I have a typo in that first comment. *dies of embarrassment* Oh well, I think you all know by now I am awkward penguin/typo girl. lol Thanks for all your patience! 😊💜🙏🏻
Thanks much, Seryn. As I’ve said, I’m reassured by others’ typos, so no worries from me!! I’ve not seen that interview, and I’ll listen today. Especially now (and until Yuchun is saved and totally thriving) I almost can’t stand watching him be unhappy. Hopefully the interview will help me as I watch. Recently, I listened to his “Untitled Song/Essay” and read the lyrics as well. I got re-impressed (if that can be a word) with his character and strength. I’m glad to have the interview link.
Cate, if you’re watching Miss Ripley…..keep the tissues handy….it is quite a ride! At times I was not fond of Yuchun’s acting. However, it could have been a combination of things….the desire of the director as to how he wanted the character played, perhaps some of Yuchun’s lack of experience in creating a character. I felt he did a much better job in SKKS…..but it just could have been me…I loved the character of Lee Sun Joon. But over all just to look at Chunnie for that amount of time and to know he would grow in his acting skills…..it is well worth your time to watch….continue to enjoy.
Thanks, Georgia Peach! Luckily I’ve a new box (and TP for back up!). I’ve been bothered some already – partly because of the character who seems too “school boy” for his age and job. In that interview, he said to watch for his haircut (@ Seryn), and at the 5th episode I’m ready for it. I just noticed by what I’m writing that my defenses are up to keep me from getting involved. I’ve like it, but have been taking it very slowly. Now, I think I’ll just grab the tissues and go for it. You’re so right that it’s lovely to just see his face for an extended, new time. (On that note, I’ve youtubed that Billboard version of “Empty” several times this week.) I so agree: Lee Sun Joon was a wonderful character and an unusual one. He’s one of those “people” that became a warm, welcome part of my inner world. I appreciate the tissue warning.
No girl, you will most definitely get ‘involved’, so don’t think for one moment you won’t! Haircut! I don’t know how many KDramas you have watched, but a change in the hair style means a change in direction for the character. And our Song YooHyun does experience a change in direction. Goodness, I just reread my comment to you….I don’t want you to think I disliked Yuchun in Miss Ripley cause I didn’t. He really played on my heart strings in this one…. It was among one of my first dramas and I think I was not accustomed to the Korean method of expressing a character.
And I love that Billboard video‼️I dance around the house to that quite often…then I sit and watch our JYJ men one at a time…..first Jae…..love the way he grins at Junsu. Then Chunnie or Junsu….each one at a time. They are so very handsome and happy in this video! Doing what they do best….perform❗️I secretly wish they would do another English album…..
