Star Daily News ①

In the beginning, Yoonseong is a character that is hard to grasp. Generally, he doesn't have any desires in life and is very dull. Politically, he is in a complicated position. His grandfather wishes to make him in a king but Yoonseong doesn't wish to be a king. He feels sorry towards Lee young, who used to be a friend, because of that. He really doesn't have any feelings for his political position.

There are a lot of things that make Yoonseong a complicated person but his one-sided love in the drama and the relationship with Hong Raon is unexpectedly a lighter one. 

"Yoonseong who has no desires in life met Raon and his life changed. Raon gave Yoonseong the reason to live on in life. Because of that, his affections for Raon grew, in the later part, he gave his all for Raon, in the end, he gave even his life away. I thought of Yoonseong as someone who is for Raon from the start till the end."

Jinyoung is now acknowledged as an actor. Not just within his fans but the public too. There are not many singers who can be called a actor by the public, but Jinyoung made a name for himself through drama Love in the Moonlight as Kim Yoonseong.

The most surprising thing about Jinyoung stepping into the acting world one by one is him distinguishing himself in the music world too. Since a long time ago he is more known for his name as B1A4 member, producing their songs. Jinyoung expresses B1A4 having an existence of a home.

"As I am by myself acting, no matter what, there are times where I will feel lonely, even if I meet my members for just a while, it is fun. The members will copy and follow my scripts but I know that they are joking and am thankful that at the same time. Because they are paying lots of attention to my acting isn't it. They post the scenes that I appear on onto SNS, take a picture of the TV. (laughs) Also, when Love in the Moonlight is being broadcasted, while my name rises in the search ranking, B1A4 also rises in the search ranking too. I feel proud that I am of help to my team as I carry the name of my group out to work. 

Since debut, Jinyoung has been writing his own songs for B1A4, his first title song was in B1A4's first full length album "Ignition" named Baby I'm sorry. He also wrote a song, One step two step, for his company's junior, Oh My Girl. The song he wrote for Mnet Produce 101 stood strong on the charts.

Also, he met IOI one more time for recording as he gift them a new song, Hold on, for their last album. When asked to compare the members before and after Produce 101, who grew the most, Jinyoung answered "Everyone grew..." then pausing a while, finally answering "Kim Sohye".

"Sohye really grew a lot. Between the time since I last saw her, her singing ability grew so well, the moment I heard it, I clapped for her. Not just Sohye, but even members who were unskilled before are now are doing well like pros."

When asked about Choi Yoojung who fell back startled when came face to face with him, Jinyoung replied "Choi Yoojung is someone with a lot of charms. I think I kind of know why the fans like her. She is smart and knows how to show her own charms."

Jinyoung is very into his work. When asked about what is his hobby, he says he spends most of his resting time writing songs. He also added he likes movies and perfumes.

"I don't really like romance but when I watched 'A Moment to remember' I cried a lot. From then on, I started liking romance movie a lot."

So in that case, do we get to see Jinyoung on screen as well? "Through Love in the Moonlight, I gained courage. At the set, I learned and experience a lot of stuffs, I thought it gave me a lot of courage and strength for my future stuffs. If there is a chance, I want to try a war movie, a romance comedy." (laughs)

Since there are a lot of peer actors around, the atmosphere in the set is really good. We started with a very heated summer and ended filming with the cold air blowing on us. Even with that, because of the great staffs and actors, the filming was fun. 

"We were originally close. Once we start laughing, it is hard to stop. There was once when we were talking, even though I can't remember what was it, just one word made everyone burst out laughing. The next scene was an emotional scene but everyone just couldn't stop laughing. That was why there was once we got scolded by the director too. When I am with the peer actors, we get along well and chat a lot. Just being together makes everything fun."

On being good at both acting and music, Jinyoung said "Rather than the burdens, I find it more like an aspiration. There was lots of praises, I thought I should work harder and better. I like challenges. Whether or not I will do well, I will try and see. I also thought I should seriously try out acting and see too." (laughs)

Q: I think you feel proud that IOI is doing well.

A: I feel great. I thought they have to do well. I know that they work hard, and they are kids who do well. It was good that my song is included. It's their last album and I want to give IOI a meaningful song, even if my song is the the title track. The fans said a lot of tears jerking words. As I look at that, I feel proud. I put myself in the fan's shoes and wrote the lyrics.

Q: You often write a lot of emotional songs. Where do you get your inspiration from?

A: I like songs that creates an impression in your heart. Rather than songs that gets you addiction, I want songs that will leave an impression. Songs that makes you go "I want to listen to it again". That is the style of my music. I try to develop songs that can make people relate to as much as possible. So I put in my own feelings, I also listen to many stories of the people around me. I also go around asking them deliberately. There is no way that everyone can related just based on my own feelings.

Q: Do you have thoughts of wanting to be in love?

A: There are times when I want to, of course. However, there are a lot of things that I need to do now. It is not the time to think about this now. I think it is right to think that I want to do the things that I want to do soon.

Q: How is your preparation for comeback?

A: We have been preparing in our spare time. I kept thinking what should we do. We are preparing to comeback within this year. We are continuously having meetings. Since we have been doing it, it will probably be my written song too. I am planning to have a new feel.

Q: I am curious about your future plans.

A: Currently, releasing a B1A4 album is now the most important thing. Of course, if a chance come, I will want to do a good drama again. I also have desires for variety. I don't really have personal skills. I used to mimic helicopter sounds but fans says its not good and ask me to stop doing it. (laugh) I still have no idea what else to do. If I appear bit by bit, I think I will get used to it.

Q: Your goals as singer Jinyoung?

A: Be it actor or singer, I hope I can be someone who will be anticipated. I want people to think "His songs this time round will be good too right?". Same goes for acting. I want to be an actor that gives people a sense of security. I want to live without regrets. Even though it is hard to do it, I will try hard to work on it. Thinking more, and do it more perfectly and with no regrets is my goal.
