Park Jung Min – “Witness the competition with ROMEO. I won’t lost!’’
“ROMEO”, a mysterious artist who determined to debut on 5th September --- Besides Korea, he gained popularity due to lots of activities in Japan and Taiwan, etc. Although he (ROMEO) was named as “another personality” of Park Jung Min, he didn’t show us the entire thing.
Park Jung Min, who appeared in the “ROMEO 1st Contact” showcase on the 12th July, had an interview regarding the way ROMEO would show his charisma in the future and the way to publish CDs as “Park Jung Min”, and also about the keywords like “songs”, “rest”, “fans” and “ROMEO”.
Q: Jung Min’s songs, especially the ballad songs, gained a lot of good comments from fans. You sang them with all your hearts, right?
A: As I wrote the lyrics myself based on my experiences and imaginations, I will sing them with all my emotions and with a serious attitude.
Q: Did it happen often that you write the lyrics based on the real experiences?
A: Half half. Half of them were experiences, another half were imaginations. Speaking about my own experiences, if I recall the memories when I sing, it will be easier for me to sing the songs with my emotions, and I will be more concentrated.
Q: Jung Min’s voice, because of the low-pitch, can easily penetrate others heart with ballad songs. And the Japanese lyrics are very beautiful as well. Is there anything you will pay attention on when you sing in Japanese?
A: Thank you. It’s very happy (to hear what you have said) (Laughter). Things to be noticed… Actually, there isn’t anything that I will pay more attention on. I won’t think like “This is Japanese songs, and so Japanese”. Instead I will focus on the lyrics. So there won’t be something like a switch for Japanese or Korean in my mind. For the mood of the song, as I will concentrate on the point “This line has such meaning, and it’s my feeling”, so I won’t have anything differentiation between “Japanese and Korean”.
Q: Then, is there any part that you have to pay attention on the pronunciation?
A: At first, I focused on the pronunciation intentionally. But as I always focused on this, it made thing worse. Therefore, I practiced a lot and relaxed when I performed. For Koreans, especially the pronunciation of “つ” (pronounce as “chi” in Japanese) and “づ” (pronounce as “zi”) are very difficult. So I practiced a lot during the recording and recorded them over and over again. Then, I performed freely when I was on the stage.
Q: Thanks to those efforts and works. So Jung Min won’t be confused with “つ” and “づ” now, right?
A: It’s better now. Yes, I don’t have to pay attention to them now. (Laughter)
Q: Apart from Korea, you have worked hard for activities in Japan and Taiwan. As you are so busy every day, you should have a certain amount of stress, right? How do you relieve from your stresses?
A: I didn’t really relieve them…Stresses are just piling up (Laughter). But…how to say? I can forget my stresses if I sleep or clean up (the room). I usually sleep more. As long as I am asleep, stresses will be gone. There must be some reasons for pressure. I will figure it out and deal with it. If not, my pressures will keep piling up…For example, if the reason is “I feel stressful because of someone”, then I should go to talk with him~(Laughter) Although I will feel stressful at that time, I will be relieved after that, and I will make things clearer, and start fooling around again. (Laughter)
Q: Don’t you choose to do exercise apart from sleeping?
A: Recently…I didn’t do exercise (Laughter) But, as I’m going to debut, so I just work out a little bit.
Q: Is the day near that we can see the abs of Jung Min?
A: Hoot…still a long way to go…(Laughter)
Q: As seen in the ROMEO’s MV of “Tonight’s the Night”, we were shocked to see your abs. Is that the outcome of your work out?
A: Ah, that time~ (Laughter) But, there is no big difference…Is that what everyone think? (Laughter) Ah, because that was not me. That wasn’t me! (Laughter)
Q: He’s ROMEO, sorry~ (Laughter) You came to Japan this time, and there were a lot of activities overseas, so what are the items that you must have in your bag? Such as, things you must bring along with you from Korea.
A: First, it is the mobile phone, and the wallet, cash (Laughter), credit cards, and…hand cream, because my hands are always dry. Also, the face mask, the chewing gum.
Q: Surprise to have those necessaries! (Laugterh) Is there anything you will feel uncomfortable with if you lost it?
A: Hand cream. And, lip balm. If any part of my body is dry, I can’t stand it. Wu ru o ru? (Translator’s tips: the correct pronunciation is wu ru o wu, “Park Language” can’t remember the word sometimes…) Moisture! I love the feeling of moisture. Wu ru o ru Jung Min (Laughter) wu ru o ru…wu ru ru? (Translator tips: Park language starts teasing again) (Everyone laughs)
Q: If you have a break in Japan, where do you want to go and what you want to do? Besides, where must you go if you come to Japan?
A: Places where I must go…”Azabu Ramen” (Laughter) I went there immediately again when I arrived in Japan this time. Once I arrived in the airport, I went to eat ramen there before heading to the hotel, and then I went to the hotel for check in. The taste was similar to those in Korea, but was not exactly the same. I love the taste of pork soup. For other places that I want to go…Although I always come to Japan to work, there was a period that I came here not for working, but to travel with my family for hot spring. Since I wanted to visit other places at that time, so I didn’t enjoy it slowly. If I still have holidays, I won’t go anywhere, but just stay in the hot spring (Laughter) and then go to watch movies or TV, and pass the day relaxingly.
Q: Where had you been for hot spring so far?
A: I had been to Hakone and Atami before…Recently, I went to Unzen in Nagasaki, but I didn’t really enjoy it~ There were some similar hot spring locations in Taiwan. I like JjimJillBang (Korean sauna) as well. Because my friend runs a JjimJillBang, so we will go there together since secondary school~(Laughter) Now I have overseas activities, but the shop is in Korea. So I didn’t have many chances to go there. And so I always go for hot springs if I’m overseas.
Q: Hot spring gives you power. So, when will you feel the power from your fans?
A: When I’m singing. I worked even harder if I heard fans’ screaming. When I saw many people welcoming me in the airport, I will feel “it’s good to be here”.
Q: There were a lot fans welcoming you when you came to Japan few days ago.
A: As the time is sort and I can’t meet them all. I’m very grateful for fans who came to welcome me. Also, I’m regretted that I couldn’t greet them all as the securities are strict. I wanted to shake everyone’s hands and sign…For the Japan trip this time, I wanted to greet my fans so I walked quite slowly, and the securities got mad~(Laughter) Since the fans were waiting at two sides of the road, the securities said “Please go this way”, so I couldn’t greet them all. I felt very sorry as they came to welcome me at night.
Q: Jung Min’s cute airport fashion has turned to be an interesting topic among fans.
A: I wore shorts this time, so everyone can see my skin, right? (Laughter) I don’t really wear shorts usually because I can get sick easily. So if the weather is cool, I won’t wear it absolutely. In the other way round, that will be fine if the weather is hot!
Q: This time, Jung Min also went to support ROMEO’s Showcase. His performance was very wonderful.
A: Having charisma as a character is good. And I heard that fans were so hyper and loved him so much (Laughter). The ROMEO’s debut song “Give Me Your Heart” was very rock, and very attractive. I’m also the kind of person that I sing true-heartedly with emotion, so we are alike, haha (Laughter)
Q: There was someone who looks like you. Are you mad with this?
A: I was mad yesterday. After reading the photos, I thought we really looked similar. Although he is very handsome and very competitive, I won’t lose this competition!
Q: During the event, the screaming was really loud when Jung Min made his appearance.
A: It’s been a long time since I saw my fans, I was really very happy. I really wanted to sing very much, but, I can’t sing without accompaniment, I’m very sorry.
Q: What is your plan in the future?
A: I’m currently negotiating love calls from movies and dramas, so I’m still choosing from the scripts. Maybe in the autumn or winter this year, everyone can see “Park Jung Min” as a singer and an actor. Challenging ROMEO is also a happy thing.
Q: So we can see Jung Min active for the mean time. Lastly, please say a few words to your fans.
A: The most important thing is to be healthy. If you are not, then you can’t come to the events to support me and cheer for me. So I want my fans to be healthy. That’s all. I will continue to work hard as a singer and an actor. Please show me all your support!
Jung Min, who cares a lot for the health of his fans, will have a lot of activities in Japan. Please look forward to them! Thank you very much.

Park Jung Min, the member of SS501 who was recognized as “Sexy Charisma” by himself and the others, had participated in a Taiwanese drama “Fondant Garden” besides his singer career. As the only Korean actor in the shooting scene and needed to act with the Taiwan actors, all the people at the scene were a bit nervous. However, his bright smiles and straight out words and deeds let the staffs felt like one family. With his bright personality, he could flexibility adapted well in any country. He also told us, in fluent Japanese, funny stories during the filming and some personal stories.
Believe in the director, So decide to perform
Q. How did the chance come to perform in the Taiwanese drama “Fondant Garden”?
A. Angie Chai, the main director, took care of me and told me to perform in the drama she wanted to make. I was very grateful and so I decided to perform in it.
Q. Since Angie Chai is a great direct, did she tell you how you have attracted her?
A. Um…. My appearance for sure. (Laughter) Since we have met before, I think she knows my personality. And I have participated in the entertainment shows in Taiwan. So there was such suggestion.
Q. How did you feel when you decided to perform in the drama?
A. In fact, at that time, the script for the first chapter was not yet finished. But I thought it would be good enough if I believed in Angie Chai and worked. Normally, if we performed in oversea dramas, we would make decision after half of the whole transcript came out. Then we would wait until the whole transcript done and edited before we shot the drama. However, at that time, the situation was that the script for the first chapter was not yet finished. Since I believed in Angie Chai, I did it. (performed in the drama)
Q. How long had you been shooting in Taiwan?
A. Around 8 months. During that period, we shot in Korea too. So the exact time would be around half a year. Since we came back and fro between Korea and Taiwan for filming, there was no gap between the actors and staffs and we felt like “We are in a team”. The atmosphere was nice and we had a nice time together.
Q. You have oversea shooting in Japan too. How do you feel about oversea shooting?
A. In Korea and Japan, after we film the first episode, we will then film the second and third. However, for Taiwanese drama, we have all the production work done before broadcast. So, we may shoot the first scene in Ep 1, with the eighth scene in Ep16, or with the fifth scene in Ep 8 all together. Moreover, the writers for each episode are different. In fact, there are three writers writing their parts. Therefore, I did not know how the story started at that time. When I read the first Episode, I would read the 8th Episode immediately and I would felt like unit drama and asked “Why is it like that?” The story was put together with the pieces we had shot before.
Q. Heard that your acting skill has been improved?<
A. The explosive force for a short time exists and the acting experience has been improved.
Q. So, you can act without preparation?
A. For a little gag scene, I can act without preparation. But I don’t know how to act next. For the story flow in drama, I will not apply acting without preparation.
Q. Although I have just watched till Ep 2, I feel that the cheerful character of XiHuan is exact the same as JungMin’s . So do you feel that there are many similarities between the two?
A. Only Ep 2! Hahahah~ Until EP 2, there was still the cheerful JungMin. But it was not like what you thought as the story went on. Please look forward! He would become serious… If I was him, it would be nice to have such changes.
Actors and staffs treat each other like family members
Q. Since JungMin’s character is bright, so you should be able to adapt even in any country, right?
A. Probably. I can get close with the director, the vice director and the staffs quickly.
Q. In the past, you had told us “There’s almost no language barrier”. So what is the necessary thing for learning a language?
A. I think “Communication is the most important thing”. What is the emotion that the direct wants, what did he say, you will feel hard to understand it by yourself. However, the staffs and other actors will teach you a lot.
Q. When you communicate with other actors and staffs, which language will you use? Chinese? English?
A. Mainly Chinese. However, for things I don’t know, there will be a translator and I will rely on the others. Even there is Chinese dubbing, sometimes I won’t speak Korean and say the lines in Chinese directly. If it is not in Chinese, other actors won’t know what you are talking about.
Q. How do you feel when you act with Wang ChuanYi, who acts as your brother? A. He taught me a lot of things in acting and is a nice man. He knows a little bit Japanese. Since most of the stories were in Taiwan, he taught me much Chinese. And I also taught him Japanese and Korean.
Q. How well is JungMin’s Chinese?
A. Wowo…. I can only understand simple daily conversations. The level is approximately of a 6 year old child.
Q. Through the dramas, you have love relationship with Japanese female and Taiwanese female. In reality, do you want to cross over the nationality and language and have a romance?
A. Of course. There is no boundary for love. If there is a chance, I would like to try.
Q. The story talks a bout the love story of 4 persons based on cakery. Which kind of cake does JungMin like?
A. Recently, I like banana cake. Although it is made by a Korean shop, I don’t know that we can only buy it in that shop. And since the cake is handmade, we cannot take away. We can only eat it there. Although the name of the shop is called “Banana Pudding Cake”, it is not real pudding. There is normal banana flavor cream with banana in it. And there is some biscuits for decoration. It is really delicious. The shop located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. I always go there.
Q. In the drama, there were always cakes made. Did you eat them often?
A. In fact, I don’t really like icy cake. (Laughter) In the past I liked cheese cake, but I don’t like it now. For example muffin, do you like it? I will sometimes eat sweet food, but I am not holic in it.
Q. During the rest time, what will you eat?
A. I have no worry in meals. There are Korean cuisine and Japanese cuisine. Taiwanese cuisine is also very tasty. During the rest time, I would chat with the other actors and learn languages together.
Q. Do you still have contact with them now?
A. When HanXian (Wang ChuanYi) came to play in Korea, we had meals together. Also, I contact with MiEn (Jian ShuMan) through mails. For her mails, I can barely say it contains words. In fact, they are all images. (Laughter)
Q: Fondant Garden will be aired since August. What do you think we should focus on? A: Of course Park Jung Min! Any part of Park Jung Min. (Laughter) Please look forward to this unexpected storyline after ‘’The Sixth Sense’’ (classical movie in the USA).
Admire girls who have long hair, have the same thing to laugh with and filial
Q: You have acted as the son of a tycoon this time. What do you want to act next?
A: Someone who is similar to me. It’s ok to have a cheerful character. Or someone who has a strong sense of existence. A mysterious character is also interesting.
Q: Do you plan to comeback as a singer in Korea?
A: “A new album to be released by the end of this year, or next year!” I’ve been thinking and planning a lot of things now.
Q: How do you compose songs?
A: At first, I will listen to the songs that I received and think on how to write the lyrics. Actually, I write the lyrics according to the experiences in my daily life, I will imagine “If it is good” or “if this kind of difference exists” and write them down at the same time. For example, a word can be recalled due to some lines of an old work. And then I will have a lot of ideas, and write the lyrics which matches with the songs. But there are many ways to do so.
Q: Do you stay at your home or in a coffee shop when you write the lyrics? A: Yes, I can be very relaxed and concentrated when I’m at home. You will definitely hum the song when you are thinking no matter where you are in. Even the script can be memorized easily when you are in some quiet places.
Q: Right, I heard that there is a rookie just debuted in Japan who is similar to Jung Min. Have you heard of it?
A: Yes, I heard so! The name sounds so bad. Although he may not be as handsome as me, fans and others said he looks handsomer than me, I’m still mad about this. Seems like there will be a showcase tomorrow; I will go and see if he mimics me or not. (Laughter)
Q: Just like the sun and the moon, I heard that (ROMEO) is a different kind of singer as Jung Min right?
A: Ah? What, this… (Laughter) Hahahaha~ of course, different people have different charisma. He surely has some charisma different from me (Laughter). But as a “Sexy Charisma”, I will not be replaced in this point. I can let people feel close and the actually-existing Sexy Charisma.
Q: (You) have been to Japan for many times. What kind of food and places do you like in Japan?
A: When I arrived at Japan, I wanted to eat Azabu Ramen immediately. In the past, I used to live near Tamachi, so I know many shops there. Ramen, grill meat, udon, fried pork chop etc. When I first came to Japan, staffs who came along with me would go there together. For places I like…roads in Tamachi also nice (Laughter). For places like Harajuku, Omotesando, Jiyugaoka and Aoyama, I will sometimes go to the boutique and department stores there.
Q: Vice versa, which place will you introduce to people who go to Korea for the first time?
A: In fact, for tasty food, I want to eat good cooked by my mum most. I really like the food she cooks. So, if staffs come to Korea, I will definitely invite them to my home for once.
Q: What kind of girls do you like?
A: Long hair…(starting to notice the hair style of the surrounding staffs) For character, I like those who can laugh with me, careful and respect her parents.
Q: There were 4 bodyguards in the drama. If you really lived in such situation…
A: That’s good. I like constraints. If there is no constraint, it will be like…
Q: What a surprising answer! Is it still okay if she calls you every 10 minutes and asks ‘where are you’?
A: If it is really like this, it is really annoying. (Laughter) But I won’t do that to my girlfriend, I will give her freedom.
Q: Is that also OK if she goes to meet another man?
A: Maybe, but if she is deeply addicted in me, she won’t do this!
Q: Please tell your fans about your plans in the future.
A: This is a drama with an unexpected storyline ever since the movie “The Sixth Sense”. Please support and watch the drama. Also, Park Jung Min will keep working hard as a singer and an actor. Please give your full support. And please take care of your health.

Park Jung Min, the member of SS501 who was recognized as “Sexy Charisma” by himself and the others, had participated in a Taiwanese drama “Fondant Garden” besides his singer career. As the only Korean actor in the shooting scene and needed to act with the Taiwan actors, all the people at the scene were a bit nervous. However, his bright smiles and straight out words and deeds let the staffs felt like one family. With his bright personality, he could flexibility adapted well in any country. He also told us, in fluent Japanese, funny stories during the filming and some personal stories.
Believe in the director, So decide to perform
Q. How did the chance come to perform in the Taiwanese drama “Fondant Garden”?
A. Angie Chai, the main director, took care of me and told me to perform in the drama she wanted to make. I was very grateful and so I decided to perform in it.
Q. Since Angie Chai is a great direct, did she tell you how you have attracted her?
A. Um…. My appearance for sure. (Laughter) Since we have met before, I think she knows my personality. And I have participated in the entertainment shows in Taiwan. So there was such suggestion.
Q. How did you feel when you decided to perform in the drama?
A. In fact, at that time, the script for the first chapter was not yet finished. But I thought it would be good enough if I believed in Angie Chai and worked. Normally, if we performed in oversea dramas, we would make decision after half of the whole transcript came out. Then we would wait until the whole transcript done and edited before we shot the drama. However, at that time, the situation was that the script for the first chapter was not yet finished. Since I believed in Angie Chai, I did it. (performed in the drama)
Q. How long had you been shooting in Taiwan?
A. Around 8 months. During that period, we shot in Korea too. So the exact time would be around half a year. Since we came back and fro between Korea and Taiwan for filming, there was no gap between the actors and staffs and we felt like “We are in a team”. The atmosphere was nice and we had a nice time together.
Q. You have oversea shooting in Japan too. How do you feel about oversea shooting?
A. In Korea and Japan, after we film the first episode, we will then film the second and third. However, for Taiwanese drama, we have all the production work done before broadcast. So, we may shoot the first scene in Ep 1, with the eighth scene in Ep16, or with the fifth scene in Ep 8 all together. Moreover, the writers for each episode are different. In fact, there are three writers writing their parts. Therefore, I did not know how the story started at that time. When I read the first Episode, I would read the 8th Episode immediately and I would felt like unit drama and asked “Why is it like that?” The story was put together with the pieces we had shot before.
Q. Heard that your acting skill has been improved?<
A. The explosive force for a short time exists and the acting experience has been improved.
Q. So, you can act without preparation?
A. For a little gag scene, I can act without preparation. But I don’t know how to act next. For the story flow in drama, I will not apply acting without preparation.
Q. Although I have just watched till Ep 2, I feel that the cheerful character of XiHuan is exact the same as JungMin’s . So do you feel that there are many similarities between the two?
A. Only Ep 2! Hahahah~ Until EP 2, there was still the cheerful JungMin. But it was not like what you thought as the story went on. Please look forward! He would become serious… If I was him, it would be nice to have such changes.
Actors and staffs treat each other like family members
Q. Since JungMin’s character is bright, so you should be able to adapt even in any country, right?
A. Probably. I can get close with the director, the vice director and the staffs quickly.
Q. In the past, you had told us “There’s almost no language barrier”. So what is the necessary thing for learning a language?
A. I think “Communication is the most important thing”. What is the emotion that the direct wants, what did he say, you will feel hard to understand it by yourself. However, the staffs and other actors will teach you a lot.
Q. When you communicate with other actors and staffs, which language will you use? Chinese? English?
A. Mainly Chinese. However, for things I don’t know, there will be a translator and I will rely on the others. Even there is Chinese dubbing, sometimes I won’t speak Korean and say the lines in Chinese directly. If it is not in Chinese, other actors won’t know what you are talking about.
Q. How do you feel when you act with Wang ChuanYi, who acts as your brother? A. He taught me a lot of things in acting and is a nice man. He knows a little bit Japanese. Since most of the stories were in Taiwan, he taught me much Chinese. And I also taught him Japanese and Korean.
Q. How well is JungMin’s Chinese?
A. Wowo…. I can only understand simple daily conversations. The level is approximately of a 6 year old child.
Q. Through the dramas, you have love relationship with Japanese female and Taiwanese female. In reality, do you want to cross over the nationality and language and have a romance?
A. Of course. There is no boundary for love. If there is a chance, I would like to try.
Q. The story talks a bout the love story of 4 persons based on cakery. Which kind of cake does JungMin like?
A. Recently, I like banana cake. Although it is made by a Korean shop, I don’t know that we can only buy it in that shop. And since the cake is handmade, we cannot take away. We can only eat it there. Although the name of the shop is called “Banana Pudding Cake”, it is not real pudding. There is normal banana flavor cream with banana in it. And there is some biscuits for decoration. It is really delicious. The shop located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. I always go there.
Q. In the drama, there were always cakes made. Did you eat them often?
A. In fact, I don’t really like icy cake. (Laughter) In the past I liked cheese cake, but I don’t like it now. For example muffin, do you like it? I will sometimes eat sweet food, but I am not holic in it.
Q. During the rest time, what will you eat?
A. I have no worry in meals. There are Korean cuisine and Japanese cuisine. Taiwanese cuisine is also very tasty. During the rest time, I would chat with the other actors and learn languages together.
Q. Do you still have contact with them now?
A. When HanXian (Wang ChuanYi) came to play in Korea, we had meals together. Also, I contact with MiEn (Jian ShuMan) through mails. For her mails, I can barely say it contains words. In fact, they are all images. (Laughter)
Q: Fondant Garden will be aired since August. What do you think we should focus on? A: Of course Park Jung Min! Any part of Park Jung Min. (Laughter) Please look forward to this unexpected storyline after ‘’The Sixth Sense’’ (classical movie in the USA).
Admire girls who have long hair, have the same thing to laugh with and filial
Q: You have acted as the son of a tycoon this time. What do you want to act next?
A: Someone who is similar to me. It’s ok to have a cheerful character. Or someone who has a strong sense of existence. A mysterious character is also interesting.
Q: Do you plan to comeback as a singer in Korea?
A: “A new album to be released by the end of this year, or next year!” I’ve been thinking and planning a lot of things now.
Q: How do you compose songs?
A: At first, I will listen to the songs that I received and think on how to write the lyrics. Actually, I write the lyrics according to the experiences in my daily life, I will imagine “If it is good” or “if this kind of difference exists” and write them down at the same time. For example, a word can be recalled due to some lines of an old work. And then I will have a lot of ideas, and write the lyrics which matches with the songs. But there are many ways to do so.
Q: Do you stay at your home or in a coffee shop when you write the lyrics? A: Yes, I can be very relaxed and concentrated when I’m at home. You will definitely hum the song when you are thinking no matter where you are in. Even the script can be memorized easily when you are in some quiet places.
Q: Right, I heard that there is a rookie just debuted in Japan who is similar to Jung Min. Have you heard of it?
A: Yes, I heard so! The name sounds so bad. Although he may not be as handsome as me, fans and others said he looks handsomer than me, I’m still mad about this. Seems like there will be a showcase tomorrow; I will go and see if he mimics me or not. (Laughter)
Q: Just like the sun and the moon, I heard that (ROMEO) is a different kind of singer as Jung Min right?
A: Ah? What, this… (Laughter) Hahahaha~ of course, different people have different charisma. He surely has some charisma different from me (Laughter). But as a “Sexy Charisma”, I will not be replaced in this point. I can let people feel close and the actually-existing Sexy Charisma.
Q: (You) have been to Japan for many times. What kind of food and places do you like in Japan?
A: When I arrived at Japan, I wanted to eat Azabu Ramen immediately. In the past, I used to live near Tamachi, so I know many shops there. Ramen, grill meat, udon, fried pork chop etc. When I first came to Japan, staffs who came along with me would go there together. For places I like…roads in Tamachi also nice (Laughter). For places like Harajuku, Omotesando, Jiyugaoka and Aoyama, I will sometimes go to the boutique and department stores there.
Q: Vice versa, which place will you introduce to people who go to Korea for the first time?
A: In fact, for tasty food, I want to eat good cooked by my mum most. I really like the food she cooks. So, if staffs come to Korea, I will definitely invite them to my home for once.
Q: What kind of girls do you like?
A: Long hair…(starting to notice the hair style of the surrounding staffs) For character, I like those who can laugh with me, careful and respect her parents.
Q: There were 4 bodyguards in the drama. If you really lived in such situation…
A: That’s good. I like constraints. If there is no constraint, it will be like…
Q: What a surprising answer! Is it still okay if she calls you every 10 minutes and asks ‘where are you’?
A: If it is really like this, it is really annoying. (Laughter) But I won’t do that to my girlfriend, I will give her freedom.
Q: Is that also OK if she goes to meet another man?
A: Maybe, but if she is deeply addicted in me, she won’t do this!
Q: Please tell your fans about your plans in the future.
A: This is a drama with an unexpected storyline ever since the movie “The Sixth Sense”. Please support and watch the drama. Also, Park Jung Min will keep working hard as a singer and an actor. Please give your full support. And please take care of your health.
