[TRANS] 181121 ♡ Full Interview with ‘Cosmopolitan’ Magazine
A Man who is doing well alone, Yoon Kyun Sang
In reality, he is a homebody who his clothes are always buried with cats hair, But in the drama, he plays the role of a CEO with a tough personality “Jang Sun Gyul”. Actor Yoon Kyun Sang is back.
Q. It’s been a long time since you’ve worked on a project. How have you been?
I traveled with my family and friends and for a few months, I rested without any thinking. In the first month, I thought “Is it okay to do this?”, I could not do anything I wanted to, but I slowly got used to it. From now on, I’m not going to be overworked. This time while I was resting, I spent time with the people around me, I felt I needed to have time to look back on the acting I did.
Q. Drama “Clean With Passion For Now” is about to air. I guess there was some burden since the original work is a webtoon.
The writer said I should get a hold of the original character but don’t get so tied up with it since the drama will tell another story. So it was not much of a burden. I read up until chapter 10 and thought ‘Ah it’s a character with this kind of personality’, I figured out to that extent. This work is a romantic comedy. It is not too heavy, so I can enjoy it more than ever.
Q. How is the acting with your co-star?
I was mostly worried about the age difference. Kim yoo jung is 12 years younger than me. Luckily, Yoo jung is mature and has a bright energy, I gain a lot of energy from her while acting together. She is young but as an actor, she is a sunbae (senior), I got a lot of help. In this drama, I like it a lot because the actors have more time to get along with each other.
Q. The character ‘Jang Sun Gyul’ is the CEO of a cleaning company with a fussy and sensitive personality.
When I do a project, I try to find my role’s personality inside of me but for Sun Gyul it was quite hard. I’m not that neat of a person. As you can see, these clothes have cats hair… haha. I’m a housekeeper who has four cats, so I can not live neatly.
Q. It’s been 10 years since you started living alone? Do you have any kind of know-how?
If I eat, I have to clean it immediately. I put the dishes in the dishes machine, I put the laundry in the laundry basket, I like putting everything in its place. It’s a good way to not lose anything since I live with cats and to avoid accidents.
Q. Did something changed in your life after raising cats?
I used to spend time with my friends outside, but now I’m a totally 'homebody’. Also, I talk to myself a lot. (talking to the cat) “What should I do, kung-ah”. “Dad has schedule tomorrow, I think I’ll cry all night”, “Kung-ah, I got delivery from this place but it wasn’t delicious”, I keep saying stuff like this.
Q. I think It will be interesting if you appear on “I Live Alone”
I would like it. I want to brag about my kids (his cats) too. I have a cat water purifier in my house, and the second one (cat) likes to play with water. Cats usually don’t like water, so it’s hard to give them a bath. The most positive one among the four is the youngest. When he was young, he had a poor health and now he is growing really well.
Q. You are also famous for having a wide network of actors. Which one is easy to deal with? an older (friend) or younger?
Older. I had a junior who is two years old younger than me, and he was very unfriendly, so I thought they will all be like that. But my friends who I hang out with have a lot of charms. At first, It was strange and awkward, but now I am more comfortable. I think being with someone older is more relaxing, though. I’m close with Byun Yo Han and Yoo Ah In even though we have nothing common. It’s something amazing. Especially, Kim Eui Sung hyung which I worked with in “Six Flying Dragons”, I can always call him out to drink a glass of beer, that’s how close we are. He is really comfortable with anyone no matter of the age, acting career, and so on. He loves the title of 'Hyung’ rather than 'Hyung-nim’.
Q. There are a lot of actors who are shy with strangers, How about you?
I was like that too, I have to relax so I can play well my role, so I always get closer first with my co-star. When I was playing “Pinocchio”, when the cameras are aways it was awkward for me to have a conversation on set with my friend Lee Jung Suk. However, when I tried it, it definitely helped me to share my emotions while acting. So I try to make friends with people on set. and like that, you overcome your shyness.
Q. <Pinocchio> is an important piece in the career of Actor Yoon kyun sang. When I meet new actors, they always say they want to play the role of a 'murderer’, I think you’ve done that quickly.
Most people do not have the experience of murder. So when I played a killer, I felt like my acting is real. The joy of expressing feelings that people cannot usually feel through acting is very big. And if people acknowledge it, you can incredible feel catharsis.
Q. You started playing the lead since starring in the drama <Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People>. I think your way of acting or the point of view of a work have changed.
At first, I was like “How can I do this?” I was feeling fear and excitement, I shouldn’t hear the voice of 'I can’t act in this project’, how can I act? is my acting okay now?’ that’s all I thought about. People tend to worry about what is wrong with my performance rather than ratings.
Q. The name of your fan club “Lisianthus” and you call yourself 'the owner of the flower garden’. You call your fans “Flowers”
At first, I was embarrassed to express it like that, but now it doesn’t matter. So what if I say that I like it and I look a little ridiculous and foolish.
Q. Are you like that even when you’re dating?
My friends say that when I’m dating, I become an old man who has an aggressive attitude. When I miss (her) I have to meet her, I always have to keep in touch and I do not like going to clubs. I like to drink instead, so I take my girlfriend out for that.
Q. You said you wanted to be an actor that people can trust and watch
I hope people trust my job. I think it’s because people misunderstand me, maybe because I have not given them that trust yet. I want people to think that they can trust me and believe in me.
Q. Is there any age that you think it will be the turning point of your life?
45 years old. At that age, I think I will be married and forming a family. After experiencing a bigger change in life than going to the army, I’m sure I will be more mature than now, my values will change too. So I look forward to the 45-year-old, actor yoon kyun sang, who has become more mature.
