Knowing of Park Yoochun's work ethic, I'm not surprised at the comments he's made on how he prepared for this film. As with the other members of JYJ, when they engage with the casts of the projects they work on, they learn from them, they build camaraderie, and they absorb the atmosphere that surrounds them. No surprise here, that YC show his growth and maturity. Chunnie, I'm glad you got the opportunity to work on this film. Whatever success it achieves, you can say you had a part in it. Look forward to the future and all it has in store for you.

I don't think of him as an idol. He seems so sincere about what he does wether singing or acting. I think he can be successful long after being part of his group even when he's much older. I would love to see this film -the story is compelling. I hope it will have a release in North America. I got to see Roaring Currents here this weekend and it was amazing! Still thinking about it.

I hope Sea Fog has quite good receptions. I read Roaring Currents is leading now, then there are also Pirates and Kundo, tough competitors.
I saw Yoochun first time in Rooftop Prince then in I Miss You and I was impressed by his acting. He's working hard to not stick label "idol" on him when acting. Although a lot of people would say it anyway because he's basically from idol background and still continue in JYJ. He's one of few idols who can act.

too bad the movie didn't doing well in box office. it still cannot hit 1 million admission even after 5 days release.

The subjective grade for BIG4 of South Korean films to watch this summer seems to be like this, in regards to ‘people’..
Of having success even in the box-office; RT
‘Sea Fog’ 4.0
‘Pirates’ 4.0
‘Kundo’ 3.5
‘Roaring Currents’ 3.0
(perfect score criteria of 5.0)

Haemoo / Sea fog fighting !!

The pictures that accompany this article are so nice. Simple, mature, not overdone. He looks handsome and sincere.

Yes, Yoochun, dramas are not fashion shows.

He might start out as an idol, but sounds like he wants to take the serious actor route.

As much as I will miss him in dramas, Yoochun should really stick to mostly movies. He can really extend his acting range there.

I have not watched Seafog, or any of the other summer movies so I won't be able to comment on content.

Reading over Yoochun's interview, it reinforces why I find this guy fascinating right from the start. You would think he chooses unconventional characters for the sake of being different, but no, he is really challenging himself in a whole new territory, and doing quite well in engaging in the roles he chooses.

It's a pity when ratings and box office hits constitutes a good movie. And reading one critic's comment that it may be considered a flop of the summer movies just because it has not reached a million mark, which is quite puzzling coming from a person who walks in these circles.

Heavy movies are never quite appealing to the general crowd moviers, everyone wants a light, romantic,adventure type of movie, and I'm glad that the production team did not compromise on its content to fit in the 'G' rating.

That said I agree with @Lotus_Blossom that Yoochun should stick to movies in pursue of his acting dreams. I think too it gives him more leeway in his choices of roles.

I guess for Bong Joonho to acknowledge that the movie industry has found a talented actor . He must have saw the X-Factor in him.

I really hope to see more of this guy on the big screen:)

"If in a project, I’m playing someone who is facing death and I’m bleeding, what good is it if my face remains pristine? I don’t think that’s right"

Thank you, Thank you, for saying this. It is so true. It's nice to see how humble and down to earth he is. Many movies and dramas, personally for me, are runined or feel fake when the main character is meant to be suffering or in bad circumstances , and yet there faces look as though they just filmed a commercial. It so hard to take something seriously when they have stacks of makeup on, hair perfectly framing there faces, perfect 'cuts' on there cheek and lips, that disapear the next day. No matter how good the acting is, those details make it seem not as sincere. im lookinh foreward to this, hope he does well.

Didn't watch his last few flicks...or any at all. But i like his attitude.

Especially when asked about a scene the audience should look forward too, instead of a scene involving himself like so many people will choose, he instead chose a scene that another actor did that he felt was great.

For some reason this just sound so endearing to me.

PS: I know he was part of DBSK and now is part of JYJ.

I though he did a movie where he was married to his teacher. I remember it being not to hard to watch.

I love You Yoochun oppa. I haven't watch yet SEA FOG but based on reviews, You've done so good. God bless in your career !
