Jinyoung revealed about the sense of rivalry with Park Bogum

On 27th, the interview with regards to "Love in the Moonlight" at WM Entertainment rooftop, when asked about the sense of rivalry with Park Bogum, Jinyoung answered, "Sure to have".

"No matter how different both our styles are, with our respective roles, there will still be a sense of rivalry isn't it? I have my power, the crown prince too. When both came to liking the same girl, there is no way that there will be no sense of rivalry.

Jinyoung also said "I try not to think of it as too difficult. This is the first time I have a rival but instead of trying to win that person, I thought it would be better to show the charms of Yoonseong."

Jinyoung talks about ending in his part through dying in "Love in the Moonlight"

Jinyoung ended his part in "Love in the Moonlight" strongly with the death of his character. On that he said "I only got to know that I will die a few days before the episode was aired, but I was hinted about 1 month ago. So I thought I would die." He also added "Anyways, I thought it would be weird that Raon would come to me. I thought of it as doing the job that I need to do and getting buried in it. Because of some small matters, the charm of the character that Raon liked has seems to disappear by a lot. So I know that Yoonseong would either die or leave for somewhere." 

When asked about the filming set at that time, Jinyoung replied "It was difficult. The director said it was because it is a period drama. Because it is a period drama, we can say the things we want to say, he said the death can be take a long time and have fun. It is not to just say and die. But to understand everything and go." Especially that Jinyoung has to take into consideration that Yoonseong can't shed tears, a very Yoonseong-ish response.

Jinyoung revealed "I want to compose a song with Park Bogum"

Jinyoung who participated in "Love in the Moonlight" OST. On that, Jinyoung said "Firstly, I wrote the song thinking about a girl so if would not be suitable if I were to sing it. It is my wish to do an OST for the drama I appeared in. I feel that music for a drama is very important. I want to have my music in a drama, I was really curious about that. It is good that it was a good chance that my song get to be released, and that song was used on the scene I died. The feeling was weird." He also added "It is faint, but it is the first time I was not able to monitor due to the music. I had to see it one more time for the acting, and then the next time the acting and the music together."

Also, Jinyoung said he and Park Bogum talked a lot about music. "Bogum and I made music a lot during our rest time. The songs are really good, he said he played piano for a long time. When we talk about music, his eyes will sparkle. As we make music together, I also let him know of music producing programs. It was really fun. I think Bogum also gained interest in composing music, we also talk about music. We said that if there is a chance in the future, I want him to play the piano and we can do a song together. I think he played piano for more than 10 years. So I told him I think it is good to make music together."

Jinyoung took both worlds as he actively performed his role as B1A4 and in "Love in the Moonlight". This is thanks to sleeping less, dividing his time and leaning one twice the amount of passion.

Earlier, we saw that Yoonseong died while trying to save Raon in "Love in the Moonlight". With regards to that, Jinyoung revealed "Actually, I wish I woudl die. I also thought that Yoonseong was very pitiful. A little like, I want to let go easily. I thought if Yoonseong were to leave for somewhere far, he would need to take those pain and live with it, since it is not real life, so I thought it would be more comfortable to face death."

Thanks to all the actors, including Jinyoung, "Love in the Moonlight" was able to hit viewership ratings of 20% and enjoyed great popularity. Jinyoung said "Starting from episode, many messages were coming in. What's surprising is that even those who I haven't contacted for a long time and they are contacting to ask if I'm doing but are telling me that they are watching the show well, and I thought, there are really a lot watching.", explaining that he is feeling real about the popularity.

However, many knew that Jinyoung is a member of B1A4. But through his acting, he washed off the label of an "idol actor". On that part, Jinyoung said "I think it is no choice that the term has to be added. With that, I have to work hard. I think of it as a mission to work hard and not hear that. As an idol, there are a lot of burdens but the answer is to work hard and try hard, even if its just a little, I want to work hard to show a better image, and that, I think is the best method. I don't think there are other methods."

Lastly, on the question whether coming back and forth between activities as an actor and singer is tiring, he answered "If I am working on things I don't like, things will get very difficult. But because it's doing things that I like, I don't think that it is tiring." He also added "If there is another chance to do it, I would. I just need to sleep less and divide my time more".

After Jinyoung produced music for IOI through Mnet Produce 101, he created topic for writing a song for them "Hold on" even in the midst of his busy schedules. About IOI, Jinyoung revealed "It feels like seeing another me. Since I also experienced this personally too. I dreamt the same dream as those girls, had the same thoughts. I find it amazing seeing what these kids do and doing well. Having the same feelings, even though I don't know a lot of things, but even if it is just one more thing, I wish to let them know."

Specially on "Hold on", Jinyoung said "The request for a song came in while he was shooting for teh drama, but it was fun. I think of it as a blessing.

The dying scene in "Love in the Moonlight" is really hard isn't hard? Even as I say it, dying is really hard.

Jinyoung revealed that he liked that he was able to have a try at period drama acting through "Love in the Moonlight". "I have no idea if I fit period drama or not. However, as I did it, I had fun. I dislike normal stuffs. I want to have a life that is like a movie. Not someone who is formally introduced, but like a book that you pick up and meet as you are on the road. Also, since last time, I saw period drama and wanted to have a try at it. Thinking about how people in the past lived, I like the fantasy-like feeling. Unlike a modern day drama which leaves a faint impression, the memory feels like it has stayed in a certain place. I think the aspiration is high."

In "Love in the Moonlight", he was fighting for love of Kim Youjung with Park Bogum. However, in real life, the two guys are close. Those two has personal views on music and on that, both shared lots of words on it. They even promised to come together to compose music in the future. 

When asked about his chemistry with Kim Youjung whom he has a crush on in the drama, Jinyoung said that even though he is older, but Youjung has more experience in acting and thanks to her, the scenes were able to turn out nicely. "Even though she is young, but she is really trustworthy and someone whom you can lean on. Even though she can be very cute, she is mature too. Sometimes I forget about how old she is. When I ask 'How should I do it so that it is good. Should I do it again?', she will give me a lot of opinions. There was even once that the director said it was good. No matter how I see it, she is one of those who I can ask advice from. I think I want to receive a lot of help and deliver well."

Especially on Jinyoung's last scene, he left the world. He left a strong impression. He revealed that the dying scene was the hardest. I also died in "Perseverance Goo Haera" but to speak all I have and die, it was hard. I do not know if I did well but I think I have a lot to learn." 

While on the topic of coming back and forth between an actor and singer, Jinyoung told us "While having indirect experience, it also helps a lot in music. Even though I write song based on memories with those I met before, having indirect experiences like this would add more content into the songs that I write. It will have more synergy."
