[Kim Jeonghoon, “I want to be a memorable actor just like Shin Ha-kyun”]
In “Witch Yoohee”, Kim Jeonghoon will take the part of Yoo Joonha, a heart surgeon who studied abroad. He was the first lover of the heroin, Ma Yoohee (Han Ga-in will play this role). He got engaged to another woman, but will break it off, come back to Yoohee and awaken her old feelings for him. Mr. Ma, the Chairman and Ma Yoohee’s father, has a heart problem, so Yoo Joonha will make a favorable impression on Mr. Ma. Yoo Joonha, who gave up his love for Ma Yoohe because of the difference in their social standing, now decides to win Yoohee back.
Q) Are you planning to do both singing and acting?
A) I’ve always been interested in acting. I think singing is a kind of acting. In both singing and acting, you have to show off your talents, and thus there are many singers who also want to act. In spite of some criticism, I think doing both singing and acting is not bad.
One drawback is that it is not easy to change the image that I had when I was a singer. I think I need to make much more of an effort to change it. The upside is that people seem to respond well to my tender and comfortable childhood image. I’m trying to create a new image as an actor.
Q) You will be playing a very ambitious guy. You also took the part of Lee Yul in Goong, who wanted to improve his social status. Is there any reason that you took these roles?
A) Well. At first, I thought there’s nothing common in between me and Yoo Joonha. But, l started to imagine Yoo Joonha’s background. Is it because of his family background that Mr. Ma didn’t allow Yoohee and his relationship? He might have been so desperate to study in order to overcome the status barrier. Then, there is something similar to me. When I was a first-year middle school student, there was a moment when I had a feeling of self-consciousness, and I studied very hard just not to give in to anybody.
Q) What kind of actor would you like to be?
A) I was not worried too much about my career since I started singing and acting because I liked them both. However, the more I’ve acted, the more I’ve known that the world of acting is very broad and deep. I’d like to be an actor who is long-remembered in people’s minds just like Shin Ha-kyun. He has played a variety of roles so far, but I can remember many of his lines and expressions vividly.
I want to have many experiences. If I take the role of a troublemaker who lives in a rural area and uses country accents, or a murderer, I could shatter my good and neat image.
There are two types of actors: One has his own, unique characteristics, and the other has diverse characteristics. I like the other one. I want to be the actor who is always curious about his next roles.
