    PARK SEO JUN INTERVIEW WITH THE GUARDIAN 

     

    In an early scene of Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, a brief conversation between rich student Min-hyuk and his friend Ki-woo proves a crucial moment in the multi-Oscar winning film. “Tutor a rich kid. It pays well,” the scooter-riding Min-hyuk tells the impoverished Ki-woo, who lives in a semi-basement home with his family. And when Min-hyuk offers Ki-woo the opportunity to take over his job as a tutor for the rich Park family, he acts as a bridge between the two worlds, and sets the plot of the film in motion.

     

     

    Min-hyuk is played by Park Seo-joon, and despite the brevity of Park’s appearance in Parasite, it will have been the first time most international audiences will have got a good look at him. Park is a big name in South Korea however, thanks to a string of successful domestic TV series – mostly romantic comedies such as She Was Pretty and Fight for My Way – and the Netflix hit Itaewon Class. Now his international profile is about to be raised, after it was confirmed he will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Captain Marvel 2: The Marvels, appearing alongside Brie Larson, Iman Vellani and Zawe Ashton, making him the third South Korean actor to join the MCU.

     

    “When I first heard that the Marvel Cinematic Universe wanted to speak with me, I couldn’t believe it. I actually couldn’t believe it,” Park says. He remains tight-lipped over the actual details, however. “I’m just trying to be careful with Marvel-related questions,” he laughs, looking a bit stressed. It’s no surprise, MCU actors are sworn to secrecy. “I’m not someone who has a fear of challenges, but whether I am filming in South Korea or abroad, everything is a challenge for me. So, I did feel some nerves at first. But everyone was so helpful and welcoming that I was able to find my feet really quickly.”

     

    On the day we speak, Park is in Seoul, having just got back from filming in London. He looks lively in a green bomber jacket and denim shirt, and is happy to start talking before his LA-based management joins the call to monitor any sensitive Marvel information. “I didn’t come from a wealthy family and we had to move around a lot as a result, but I was able to meet a lot of different people at school and that made me more mature.” He pauses. “Some of my earliest memories from childhood are of me just trying to find my way, instead of memories of being happy all the time.”

     

    Spoiler

    The themes of Korean social inequality and financial difficulties that Parasite so brilliantly exposed have also found their way into Park’s other work. In the 2017 series Fight for My Way, Park played a taekwondo athlete, Ko Dong-man, who is forced to cancel his dreams of going to the Olympics after being burdened by his family debts and his sister’s life-changing surgery. Dong-man quits his dream and becomes a pest exterminator. “People in their 20s in South Korea are actually having a lot of difficulties, when it comes to just living in general,” Park says. “During my early days of acting, it was very difficult for me. In your 20s you have to work really hard but also be careful with everything. Life, love, career, passion – everything. Fight for My Way was one of the best dramas that could possibly portray these feelings. I could connect with Dong-man. At times, he failed and got frustrated with himself but he endured and showed up for himself. Among all the young people who were struggling, I got to express one young person’s hardships.”

     

    In Itaewon Class, Park plays an ex-convict. On the surface it’s a story about revenge and retribution but it also features strong social commentary about how the rich abuse power. It was an instant success. “Itaewon Class appeared in the midst of the Korean movies and drama boom, and I got to make a lot of international fans,” says Park. It was only a matter of time before the world woke up to the world of Korean film and TV, the actor believes. Netflix and other streaming platforms gave international audiences access to these projects, and he says the Korean entertainment industry offered something new. “I personally feel that South Korea has been making a lot of effort and spending a lot of time creating good quality films and series, but it’s always been a bit of a hidden gem. There are a lot of good films and dramas and I want them to be recognised. I feel proud that I am able to contribute to this Korean boom.”

     

    Park is also part of Wooga Squad (“I don’t know why we named it that; it just happened”), a friendship group with actor Choi Woo-Shik (who starred as Ki-woo in Parasite), BTS member V, actor Park Hyung-sik and artist Peakboy. “They are really good friends to me and very comforting,” Park says. It appears they help him deal with the intense pressure on Korean actors and “idols”. “Not only do we share the same values, thoughts and perspectives on things but we are in similar industries, and so we are able to share advice. We try to comfort each other as human beings, because what I am going through could be something that the others might go through in the future.”

     

    I ask him what he does to relax. “I haven’t found the solution to that one yet!” he says. I tell him I picked up crocheting to help cope during the early days of the pandemic. A little puzzled at what I am attempting to act out, he turns to the interpreter. “Crocheting?” But once he realises what I am recommending, he laughs. “OK, I’ll try it!”

    I hope he will have more global brand endorsements. This will probably happen when The Marvels is out. 

    What amaze me is that he doesn't have any drama or film showing since 2020 after IC (2021 only Youn's Stay) but still plenty of endorsements. His image must really good in Korea :) 

     

    He definetely will. I would be surprised if he didn't :coolshades:

  6. Awesome ENT actors' interview and polaroid decorating in celebrating the new year of 2022 :fullofhearts:

    Here is translations for Seojun's part :

     

     

    1. The best thing i did in 2021 is the experience of working overseas.

     

    2. Thing i was obsessed with in 2021 was drinking a lot of water.

     

    3. What i want to learn in 2022 is 'how to live my life'.
    Because it's difficult. Very difficult. No one tells me how to live right and i have to learn it by myself. I have been thinking a lot about it since last year. Even now.

     

    4. All i want to do the most in 2022 is to have time for emptying my head.
    It's quite noisy in my head. I have a lot of thoughts. I will keep trying to find a way how to spend a time to empty my head, which works on me.

  7. Park Jin Joo mentions Seojun in her post OBS interview.

     

    As 'Our Beloved Summer' became popular, Park Jin Joo was contacted by fellow actors more than usual. Among them, Jinjoo finds the message from Park Seo Jun the most memorable; "You are very good". With cute gesture (tilt her head aside), she said, "He's not someone who usually saying that compliment so i thought that i must have acted really well."

    A. In fact, Seojun hyung and Taehyung have already done it once, and i did it with him (Taehyung) this time. It seems to be kinda common that we secretly work on a projects together in one work. I participate in Seojun’s works, and he also participates in mine. We work on lots of memorable projects in our life, and it’s a very good thing that we can work on nice projects.

    Q. Is there a character that you referred to while analyzing Doyoon?
    A. ...(skip unrelated part) Because i like romcom and romance genre, i've been watching Yang Se Jeong sunbae-nim and Park Seo Jun sunbae-nim's works.

     

    Q. Come to think of it, your look is similar like Park Seo Jun. Have you ever heard about that before?
    A. I'm so happy to hear that because i really like actor Park Seo Jun. I once met him when i filmed an advertisement for the National Statistical Office. His work manner was like Park Saeroyi in 'Itaewon Class'. Whenever i see his work, I think his acting makes me feel like i know the person called 'Actor Park Seo Jun'. He shows his humorous and gentle side in another work and i feel that he's confident in his work. I love that he has his own style and i think it's cool. 

     

    Q. Who is your role model?
    A. Park Seo Jun, Yang Se Jeong, and Kim Soo Hyun.

  15. In an interview, rookie actor Baek Sung Chul was asked if there is a role model or senior actor that inspires him. He said, "Park Seo Jun sunbae-nim. I was already a fan, and actually i once saw him in person at a brand event when he worked as their model. He had a good body proportion and was attractive. I've watched his projects such as 'Midnight Runners', 'WWWSK', 'The Divine Fury'. I really want to look up to him because he has wide spectrum in each work and has charming points that i don't have".

    Elementary kids watching WWWSK :joy:

    This drama is still going strong after so many years of airing;)) What a quality production lol

     

    Yes, I watched Arcane, as Seo Jun said it’s an amazing achievement in animation in general and especially in adult animation. Storytelling and character work is awesome too. I only just heard about LoL, never played and the only peace of information I had about them was their k-pop group K/DA, but Arcane was a very non-fans friendly. I think they knew, that majority who will watch it, know nothing about LoL, so they made it not really for fans, but for everybody. If you guys like fantasy stories, adult animation and steampunk style, then you will enjoy it too;))

     

    I’m kinda in love with the fact, that Seo Jun is the same “pop culture” consumer as we’re;)) He watched all the trendy stuff on Netflix :blush:

    Oh, sounds great! I watched the trailer earlier, the animation was so cool. I think i saw a lot of reviews saying the same thing, that it's non-fans friendly, anyone can watch. I'll give it a try. I want to watch what he watches.:yaaa:

     

    Me too, i think when i was searching for what Arcane was, i was surprised that it's an animated series and that he watched also animation stuff. He follows trend and hot stuff :heart1:

  19. Another lucky fan who got the opportunity to have 1 on 1 video call with Seojun after Condition fanmeeting, shared the conversation during the video call on DC Gallery. But she said it's only some parts of the conversation, not the whole. And also because the management of Condition told her to not share the video due to copyright issue, she only shared the text (thats why another fan who shared her videos about acrobatic poem and Yeobo has deleted the videos on her IG page coz it's supposed to be personal collection). Here is the translation of the conversation she wrote down on DC gall..

     

    I wrote the conversation while re-watching the video. I will not reveal my personal information

     

    SJ : Hello, what's your name?
     
    Fan : *I explained how i became his fan* An elementary school student recommended me to watch Secretary Kim on Netflix and i've been searching and watching your other works since then and blah blah blah...

    SJ : Hehehehe you've work hard.
     
    Fan : You're working hard too until late at night.
     
    SJ : No.. its nothing..
     
    Fan : I don't drink, but i bought a lot of Condition.
     
    SJ : Really? Ah... (sighing with feeling sorry kind of facial expression)
     
    Fan : I saw everyone was holding a Seojun heart on a piece of paper on the fanmeeting earlier. So i have made one quickly too.
     
    SJ : Hahaha okay. Did you just done it now? Oh.. it's awesome.
     
    Fan : You're busy working hard to prepare for Marvels movie and the next projects, but you're so great and gorgeous. I hope you will be healthy and i wish you all the best. (I was so nervous suddenly that i kept making the atmosphere that i wanted to wrap up/hang up quickly).
     
    SJ : Yes.. As i live, there are surprising things happen in life.
     
    Fan : It's because you work hard.
     
    SJ : Ah, it's nothing.
     
    Fan : Before i hang up, i have a last favor to ask. It's a really shameful request though..
     
    SJ : Okay. Go ahead.
     
    Fan : My name is xxx. Please say something with my name in it.
     
    SJ : Like "xxx-ah, I love you"? Hahahaha
     
    Fan : kyahahaha.. one more time 
     
    SJ : xxx-ah, I love you.
     
    Fan : It was hella nice. 
     
    SJ : hahahahaha
     
    Somehow the topic of LOL (League of Legends) came out of nowhere.
     
    SJ : Oh, what is it? By the way, the animation from LOL that just released on Netflix is really interesting. That would be interesting too for people who are not familiar with it.
     
    According to K-jeomju on the comment section, he talked about 'Arcane: League of Legends', a Netflix animated series
     
    SJ : Oh, I'll watch it then/ But hasn't it been 3 minutes?
     
    If I'm not mistaken, the maximum video call duration is only 3 minutes
     
    SJ : Yes. It's been three minutes. Well, it's not that the next train is waiting for me...
     
    I have no idea about this but i think it's kind of dad joke that he said :joy:
     
    Fan : It's your birthday soon. Congratulations in advance..
     
    SJ : Ah, me? Haha 'birthday' is a bit.... Haha, are you 17? Using 'birthday' to me..
     
    This fan use 생신 which is very formal form for 'birthday' that is usually addressed to elders :lol:
     
    Fan : You were a total promotion fairy at today's fan meeting.
     
    SJ : You should do your best at a time like this hehehe
     
    Fan : Sure, sure.. Anyway, cheer up! It's late, so hang up and get some rest.
     
    SJ : Thank you. Have a nice evening. Bye bye. Good night.
