B1A4/TRANSLATIONS



Boygroup member B1A4 talks about his final comments about his death in Love in the Moonlight.

Jinyoung spoke to us about his death scene and said "It is okay to die this way".

He added, "There are people who say I died too suddenly, and that we should extend 2 more episodes to eleborate the process to the death. They think 18 episode is a little short and it would have been nice if we extend 2 more episodes."

"But I think 18 episodes were just right. Actually, when before I received the script, I really had no idea that I was going to die. I received the script, and prepared my heart for it."

Jinyoung also explained "However, I think of it as doing my things even as I die. Protecting the one I love even till the end. So I thought my character in the show passed off comfortably. There seems to be no regrets."

Kwak Dongyeon told us "Everyone's chemistry is really good. We are all about the same age and not one of us coudldn't get along well. Even the things we are interested in matches well. We also cool-headedly correct each other, I think we lean a lot on each other."

He also added, "Bogum hyung, Jinyoung hyung and I all like music. Jinyoung has made a lot of music and Bogum also did OST and I also have a lot of interest.

Boygroup B1A4 member Jinyoung comments on his acting "I still have a long way to go".

Jinyoung's acting was well received with the audiences, he told us in the interview about his ratings for his acting  "I think I still have a long way to go. Especially in this production, as I was doing it, I think I still have a lot of things that I have to do."

He added to say "No matter what I do, satisfying myself is important. I am still far from satisfied about my acting skills. I still have to learn more and gather more experience."

"I feel that as I act in Love in the Moonlight, I should ride a higher wave on my acting, I worked hard, but it is important to do well. I came to realise that if I were to do another show after this, I would have to work several times harder than I am now."

Jinyoung went on to say "I think this is a great experience. There are a lot of things about acting that I came to know to know through the seniors. I want to try and digest and express the things I have learnt well next time."

"The next time, I want to try a totally bad guy character. On the other hand, I also wish to try a romance comedy too. If I really get to do a romance comedy, I hope it would be not a one-side love too." 

Jinyoung also added "I also have wishes to try a war movie and large scale traditional drama too. Even though it may be hard when filming, I think I will feel proud of it after filming."

Jinyoung said that Park Bogum has great musical talents and he plays the piano especially well. "I told Bogum once 'When I compose for B1A4, play the piano for us. It would be great if we would sing a song together'. Even though it is not an official request but Bogum said okay."

"I really want us request for us to compose a song together once. Also, when Bogum releases an album next time, I also want to write a song as a gift for him." said Jinyoung as he expresses his close friendship with Bogum.

He also said if chance arises, he wants to stand on the stage with Bogum for a duet. "It would be nice if we could stand on the stage of Immortal songs and do a duet, since both our vocal colours are different, I think it would be a great stage.".

Kim Youjung talks about her third time working with B1A4 members.

Youjung mentioned "I have a lot of fate with B1A4 members. I have worked with Sandeul, Baro and now Jinyoung. I am very amazed, and Jinyoung oppa is very amazed too."

Kim Youjung performed on Immortal Songs in 2012 with Sandeul and Baro for a special stage. Also, she worked with Baro in MBC drama "Angry Mom" with Baro, and now in "Love in the Moonlight" with Jinyoung.

Youjung told us "It is amazing how we met from variety all the way to dramas. Now I see the oppas as friends. They feel like oppas who always come to my house and play isn't it? Feels like my neighbourhood oppas. Our characters match too so when I feel comfortable and get along well."

She also added on "The good point about Love in the Moonlight is our ages are about the same, so we are able to get close easily. Even though I am the youngest, before filming we practiced horse-riding together, ate together, so we quickly become close."

Also, she explained "When we meet at the filming set, we don't feel awkward. When we first started, there were fun scenes, so we try our best to play around and joke outside acting too. Later, we all came to treasure each other like how we treasure each other in the show so it was good."

Jinyoung told us he wants to receive the Rookie Award on the drama award ceremony.

When asked about whether he would like to receive an award on the award ceremony, he said "It would be good to receive the rookie award".

Jinyoung said "I would be thankful even if I am invited to attend the ceremony. As B1A$, I have been to music award shows, but I have never been to a drama award show. So I want to head to one this time round. If I am invited, I would go."

"Rather than going after an award, I think it is to say that Love in the Moonlight is a good piece of work. I think this drama can be a stepping stone for my acting."

Jinyoung revealed the behinds of filming Love in the Moonlight.


Jinyoung revealed that when he received the script for his death scene, he teared.


"It is a relief that Yoonseong did the things he need to do and died. I also really like Yoonseong's last few phrases. Either way, he protected the one he love right from the start till the end isn't it?"


He added on to say "I teared when I saw the script for that scene. It was very sad. 'It was a drawing that I have always wanted to draw, you. While drawing, it it great if I am happy' and passed on. That was really heart wrenching and sad. When he died, he deliberately held back his tears. I think that Yoonseong was caring even till the last moment."

After drawing a line on his own filmography, Jinyoung previewed that B1A4 will come back very soon.

For someone who needs to be both an actor and singer at the same time, Jinyoung did not forget to say thank to each and everyone.

"Viewers of Love in the Moonlight, thank you for watching the show. It was a great production for me too. Right now, I am preparing hard for B1A4's album.

He also added "It would be the first time I am attending a Drama award as an actor." 


"Since young, I dreamt of becoming a celebrity. I travelled all the way to Seoul to audition for minor roles, because my luck is good, I met my current management and debuted as a idol. In the future, I want to try variety. I wish to try everything. Be it doing good or bad, I want to try it."

B1A4/TRANSLATIONS



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".

Jinyoung told us about his affections for IOI


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. I feel that it is not right to think that a lot of work are tiring. I think it is a job that was given to me and I need to do well. I was able to divide my time well and I decided to do it."

Boygroup B1A4's member Jinyoung talks about the thoughts on the success of "Love in the Moonlight" which was shot with Park Bogum and Kim Youjung.

Jinyoung said "I am trying hard to catch up. There are originally a lot who do well."

"I think things started well from the first reading. The atmosphere among the staffs are really good. As we film, the actors are all very kind and good, the synergy was lively. I also received a lot of good energy."

On the topic of chemistry with Park Bogum and Kim Yoojung, Jinyoung mentioned "Outside acting, we have a lot of interests in common. We talk well. Even before we started acting, it was already fun. Since we get along well, the acting would match up too. We give each other advises, receive advises. The filming was fun. That part was captured on the screen, since we all have affections, they also talk to me in regards to acting, I received a lot of help."

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."

161016 Not Idol, but Actor Jinyoung, "Gurumi" scooped up a gem

B1A4/TRANSLATIONS


Group B1A4 Jinyoung has no ends to his charms. From music to acting, it is an upward trend on the correct side.

Mon-Tues KBS 2TV Drama Love in the Moonlight is a production that made us rediscover Jinyoung. He showed us the possibility of the growth of an idol actor. Starting from a minor role in a drama, to movie, up till the drama "Love in the Moonlight", he grew steadily. Particularly, he did not just acted but also participated in the OST producing, showing us his real value. Not just Park Bogum, but they are a considerable number of viewers who got the "Jinyoung illness" as well.

This is not the first time Jinyoung showed his acting skills through "Love in the Moonlight". He took on a minor role as bully number 3 in KBS 2TV Drama "Supermom" in 2007, officially debuted as B1A4 in year 2011. He showed us amazing musical talents through B1A4 promotions as he produces the team's music, earning him the nickname "Jinthoven".

Of course with B1A4's song, and especially through Mnet's girl group survival program "Produce 101", he confirmed his producing aspect, and started the fate with IOI and writing songs for them.

As Jinyoung is unleashing his talents and getting acknowledged songs by songs in the music world as "Jinthoven", he is also doing good in acting. So much so that people are unable to distinguish if he is a singer or an actor, Jinyoung also appeared in various productions, and broke through in movie "Miss Granny", he also got a chance to display both skills as a musician and an actor in cable TV music drama "Perseverance Goo Haera"  

For Jinyoung who have did various activities, the production that he exploded was in "Love in the Moonlight". Being call "No warmth yet lethal", he gained attention together with Park Bogum right from the start. Even though it was his first try at period drama, his stable vocalisation as well as acting was well received. In the many "Flower Scholars", only Jinyoung was able to make the character cold and warm-hearted at the same time. Even with fanciful action scene, he was able to digest it on his own, all the way to being a dark character, he added even more charms.

The various charms that Jinyoung has gathered from various dramas and movie has blossomed fully through "Love in the Moonlight". A lot of idols has received bad comments about their acting when they act in period dramas but Jinyoung has showed stable acting and gained attention for that. Even though seen as being gentle, yet Kim Yoonseong was cold at the same time, he completed his mysterious and profound role. For Jinyoung who has exploding charms in "Love in the Moonlight", we are even more excited for his next work.

Jinyoung Ceci October issue Interview translations

B1A4/TRANSLATIONS

The leader of the 5 members group with youngsters of clear and cool voice as well as pure smiles. Actor Jinyoung penerates through the public as who has solid filmography of various kinds of shows like movie "Miss Granny", music drama "Perseverance Goo Haera", web drama "Detective Sherlock K", mini series "Warm and Cozy". This time round, he is doing well in palace period drama, "Love in the Moonlight" as charming flower scholar Kim Yoon Seong. Even though nothing has been revealed yet, this moment is a moment which I woke up and felt my heart racing. One hour right after the first broadcast, I came face to face with Jinyoung. the countdown that starts from now, his eyes slightly trembling, I can feel that he is worrying.


Q: Finally, today (the interview day was 22nd Aug) is the first broadcast. Even though it hasn't been one hour yet, how are you feeling?

A: I am very nervous. I am hopeful yet worried about how did I came out. I am also very curious about the reactions. 


Q: Compared to other shows, how different are you feeling?

A: No matter what show or production it is, they are precious to me. However, it is true that I am more worried and concerned about this show.


Q: It feels like a character just for Jinyoung. It's like looking at Jinyoung's previous life. I can feel Kim Yoonseong's elegance and grace greatly.

A: Thank you for seeing me like that. Thankfully, the character that I am acting is slowly becoming like a fairytale so recently, acting has been fun.


Q: The chemistry between Park Bogum, Kim Yoojung and Jinyoung the three mains are one of the things to see too.

A: Bogum and I are originally different so I guess that adds to the feels. Moreover, the three of us are of the similar age range, the things that we are interested in are similar, outside our filming time, we get along well too. When the three of us gather together, the will to want to work hard is also the best. We are always making the "wu-sha wu-sha" atmosphere naturally too.


Q: Through Love in the Moonlight, there is a new term made for Jinyoung. "온무파탈" (Laughs) I have heard of that many times but it is an unfamiliar word. How many percent of it synchronizes with the real Jinyoung? 

A: The meaning is of it is "A guy who can still capture the hearts of women even without warmth" However, for me to bring up negative topic to the opposite party, I find it very hard to find a way to keep it simple and brief. For me, I would think if the opposite party would be hurt by me first. On that part, I am closer to the opposite of Kim Yoonseong.


Q: Many knows that you are an actor turned singer. With that, you might also have analysed and went with acting, on the other hand, being with "B1A4" would also mean there might be a lot of people who don't know about you.

Q: Yes, but it is not a bad thing. Each of the members are playing an active role in their own position. Even though they don't know, when they see the whole group together, wouldn't they hit their knees? (T/n: a little like gaining revelation that they are a group). (Laughs) Because of that, I think we are working very hard to do what we can.


Q: The phrase "Idol" is always attached to your name wherever you go, do you ever feel alienated?

A: Rather than feeling alienated, I feel that it is like a homework that I need to solve step by step. It also make sense that I have that "Idol" phrase stuck to me. Compared to someone who only looks at one spot and run towards it, because I am an idol, I was able to obtain that faster and that is the truth. I feel that bad when I think about them. So I make a point to work hard on my acting and that I cannot do it carelessly.


Q: Some teams have their unique image. With that, B1A4 is strong in having a kind image. What is the secret?

A: I think it is sincerity. It is not an image that was forced out, we just show the image that we already have. (Q: Isn't it burdensome to have an upright image?) No, not at all. Because we do not make up or set up things to show people the image. Actually, no matter how I see, our members are very kind . (laughs)


Q: You hold important roles in the team like being a leader and the producer. As well as acting. Do you find that a handful?

A: Nope. I prefer thinking that I am lucky. It is not a chance that is given to everyone isn't it? If it was something forced onto me, I will eventually give it up. Especially producing is something that I have a choice in. However, I myself do not want to miss it out so I am working harder. To me, music and acting isn't very much a difference. The similarity is that I have to create things in both. Because of things like that, I will be sure to work harder and there are reasons to be.


Q: What kind of student are you? You look like a model student. You definitely don't look like a problematic student.

A: Haha! Is that so? I am not a problematic kid. Now that I look back, a lot of time were spent on acting and music. I live in Chungju and when it is the weekends, I head up to Seoul to study acting, and I write songs in my spare time. (Q: That's very hardworking. You look like you do well in studies too.) I just did what like what others did. (laughs) There are times when I cram for studies too.


Q: What kind of son are you?

A: I am a son that respect my parents a lot and likes spending time with them. I wonder if it is because when I was young, we often go on holidays together, so it became natural.


Q: What kind of person do you think you are?

A: Erm... Someone who is fun if you get to know me? (laughs) Because I have slightly slanted eyes, so I received various kinds of misunderstanding. Whenever that happens, I feel very sad. Because of that, from time to time I get very easy-going.


Q: Dormitory life has ended. Do you occasionally miss that life? 

A: I don't feel uncomfortable when we lived together, we had a fun time together. I don't really like being alone. To me, drinking alone or eating alone is something hard for me to do. However, there will be times you fantasise of having your own space isn't it? Now that we have all live separately, I miss those times even more.


Q: I am curious how is Jinyoung's room like.

A: My entire house concept is black and sliver. I like the cold and sophisticated feeling. I also made a workroom in the room.


Q: It is your second time having an individual shoot with Ceci. 

A: I have to confess it is hard to capture the concept. There is a tendency to have taboo about the transformation of image for idols in our country. For myself, running parallel with music is even more like this. It is because the image making of not just myself but the entire team will have a huge influence. If I were to be given a change, I would like to try being a villain. I want to try a sly and interesting character. To shake off the image I have and trying acting something unpredictable.


Q: The thing that fans are most curious about is B1A4's comeback news isn't it?

A: Yes, that's right. We will definitely comeback this year. As time passes, the thankful heart towards our fans who waited for us grows bigger. We will repay you with awesome performance soon. Even though it is a little shameless, please wait a little while more!


Q: You don't compare yourself with ordinary idol groups.

A: Yes. We are irrelevant with the trend. We are now crazily making music with resources that comes across our mind. If we were to create something different to a trend, it would be closer to B1A4's style. (Q: Is it because of that, everywhere you go, its fresh) Our team definitely has colours. Moreover, it is a pride to have songs that only we can do.


Q: What is the related word you want to have with your name on portal sites?

A: "Jinyoung I love you"! (laughs) There are such things like that. If "Jinyoung I love you" gets registered in the system, I will know "how many times I love you has been said". I want to receive that much of love.
