Kim Soohyun: Both my mother and I were always worried about this. At school, when we were asked to write about our future dreams, my friends would write about becoming doctors or presidents. But I always found it really hard to write about my dreams and didn't know what to put down. Tetsuko Kuroyanagi: Did you want to become an actor? KSH: No, I didn’t think about becoming an actor. As an introverted child, my mother suggested that I try acting lessons. When I started acting, I found it interesting. At first, reading a script in front of people made my hands shake a lot, and it was really hard to deliver my lines. But gradually, I improved, stopped shaking, and became less nervous. Eventually, I performed in a small play. It was a really small performance, with the audience being just family, friends, and some acquaintances. After the play, during the curtain call, I heard the applause, and the sound of the applause made me feel very happy. That's how it all started. TK: That's great. Did your old friends ever think you would become an actor? KSH: I think some of my friends back then might not realize that I'm the same person now. TK: You're very active, right? You like riding bikes? KSH: Yes, I usually try to ride my bike when I have free time. I also like hiking and recently started playing golf. TK: You go to places with beautiful scenery, right? KSH: Yes, that's right. I often take photos from high points with great views. I haven't been hiking for very long, but when I do, it feels like my mind gets clearer, and my thoughts get organized. It helps resolve worries that were bothering me. TK: I've heard you traveled alone in Hokkaido in 2016. KSH: Yes, I traveled alone in Hokkaido for 12 days in 2016. TK: How did people treat you there? KSH: I wore a black hat, black mask, black jacket, and black bag, so in less crowded places, I think people were a bit scared of me. So, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for scaring people. KSH: At the beginning of the trip, I would eat at convenience stores or small ramen shops. But as I got more comfortable being alone, by the end of the trip, I was able to go to a hotel and have a full course meal by myself. TK: How was it? KSH: Everything was really delicious. There were a lot of fried foods. TK: Many fans are eagerly waiting for your next work. What will your next project be? KSH: Yes, the next project will start filming this August. It's a drama called ‘Knock Off.’ TK: Do you ever wish you could just take it easy and relax? KSH: Yes, I do like to relax, but right now isn't the best time for that. TK: How do you feel about being on Japanese TV today? KSH: I find talk shows difficult and was very nervous. However, since I appeared, everyone has been looking at me warmly, which helped me share my thoughts comfortably. TK: That's good to hear. Thank you. Do you have a message for your Japanese fans? KSH: Thank you for all the love and support you've given to Queen of Tears. I will continue to do my best to bring you good performances in good works. Please keep watching. Thank you. TK: That's all we have time for. Oh, the show is ending? Yes, the music is playing. Please continue to look forward to Soohyun's works. KSH: Thank you. I hope you stay healthy, Tetsuko-san. TK: Thank you. Let's meet again in Korea. KSH: Yes, let's meet in Korea

Kim Soohyun on Japanese Talk Show, Tetsuko's Room, as a ‘Globally Popular Hallyu Star.’ Tetsuko Kuroyanagi: Today, we have a very popular guest from around the world with us. It's the Hallyu star, Kim Soohyun. Please come over here. Hello, thank you for coming. Please, have a seat. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you since I’ve watched your dramas. Kim Soohyun: Nice to meet you. I’m Kim Soohyun, an actor from Korea. It’s an honor to be here. TK: Amazing! That’s great. I wish I could study as much as you. I’ve tried to study a bit, but I couldn’t quite get it right. ‘Kamsahamnida.’ TK: I’ll introduce him properly now. He has played a wide range of roles, and his works have all been huge hits. He’s been praised for his excellent acting skills and has won many awards. His latest drama, Queen of Tears, has been explosively popular, surpassing the ratings of Crash Landing on You, and he’s now a globally recognized Hallyu star. TK: Why did you decide to come on our show this time? KSH: I got to meet a great work called Queen of Tears, and got the opportunity to appear on this great show, Tetsuko’s Room, so I rushed over. TK: Did you know Queen of Tears would be a hit? KSH: I didn’t expect it to be a big hit from the start, but because it’s a story about love, family, and couples, I thought many people could relate to it. TK: Indeed, it has moments that make you cry, laugh, and worry. I was really excited while watching it. KSH: Thank you for enjoying it. TK: You’re known as the ‘Genius of Tears’ because you often show deep emotions in your dramas. KSH: Yes, I had many chances to perform emotional scenes in dramas. TK: We’ll show a tearful scene from another drama of yours. KSH: That’s 10 years ago. TK: How do you manage to cry so convincingly? KSH: I’m embarrassed. I don’t know how other actors do it, but when I perform emotional scenes, the tears aren’t the main focus. I concentrate more on expressing the sadness, pain, or joy I feel. TK: There are many ways to express emotions, right? KSH: Yes, even without crying, you can still convey emotions. I personally like such emotional acting. TK: That's impressive. I heard you’re currently on a tour of six cities in Asia. Since you came to Japan, the number of members in your Japanese fan club has increased fivefold. That’s amazing. We have footage of your performance in Japan, so let’s take a look at how it went. TK: Amazing! That song, Gingiragin ni Sarigenaku, is very special to me because the singer who made it a hit is a good friend of mine. I'm really happy you sang it. KSH: Kondo Masahiko-san? TK: Yes yes, it’s Kondo Masahiko-san. I'm sure people will be surprised to hear you sang Gingiragin ni Sarigenaku. KSH: This song is very famous, and actually, my mother recommended it to me. TK: The person who wrote the lyrics is a well-known songwriter. KSH: Do people often use the phrase ‘Gingiragin ni Sarigenaku’ in everyday conversation? TK: The phrase ‘Gingiragin ni Sarigenaku’ is not commonly used, but ‘sarigenaku’ is. ‘Gingiragin’ refers to something shiny or glittery. KSH: I see. TK: By the way, what’s your favorite food? KSH: I don’t have a particular favorite Japanese food, but this time I tried yakiniku and unadon. And today I'm planning to eat tonkatsu. TK: That’s great. Tonkatsu is delicious. I like it too. What kind of tonkatsu do you like? KSH: The charm of tonkatsu is that it tastes great no matter where you get it. In Korea, there's a saying, “Even shoes taste good when fried.” It means frying makes everything taste great. Especially with such great ingredients, you can’t go wrong. TK: The saying about shoes tasting good when fried is funny. TK: Kim Soohyun-san is our guest today. What were you like as a child? KSH: I liked to joke around and play pranks with my friends, but gradually I became more introverted. So, I was a bit of an introverted kid. TK: Did you have any dreams?

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi updated her SNS with actor Kim Soohyun She wrote, “Wow! Kim Soohyun will be on Tetsuko's Room. I was so happy to find out that Soohyun knew about Tetsuko's Room and even delayed his return trip by a day to come to the studio. I had watched him in My Love from the Star and Queen of Tears, so I knew how wonderful he was, but meeting him in person was a surprise! He came to my dressing room to say hello. At first, he seemed a bit nervous, but as we talked, he relaxed, and we ended up laughing together. We exchanged gifts too. He gave me a tea set and cookies, and I gave him a fan and Japanese sweets. Later, one of his staff handed him a big bag, and he looked a bit confused. It turned out to be full of his own fan merchandise, like uchiwa fans. He shyly said, "These are my goods." At that moment, I was holding a T-shirt with my photo on it, and when he saw it, he asked, "Is that your merchandise?" I replied, "Yes, it is," and he looked so relieved and cute.

OP met actor Kim Soohyun and shared their story: “Back then, I was working at a store of a certain brand in COEX. It was around 6 PM on a weekday, and there were hardly any customers that day. I was just idly hanging around when suddenly, two men walked in. The store sold both women's and men's clothes, and I was at the men's cashier desk. The two men quickly picked out a few T-shirts and came to my counter to pay. I couldn’t take my eyes off them. There was an aura... really... My first thought was, "I wish he were my younger brother," and then I thought, "Is he a celebrity? How can someone have such a small face?" Yes, I didn’t realize at that time that it was Kim Soohyun. I still regret it to this day. I’m not very observant. While I was ringing up the items, I kept staring at him, not knowing he was Kim Soohyun. We made eye contact. I couldn’t look away. His eyes were beautiful, so round and black. I finally pulled myself together and told him the total. He handed me a check card. Was it a red BC debit card? Anyway, I neatly packed his items into a shopping bag and sincerely said, "Thank you, please come again," to the customer. I suspected he might be a celebrity, but the friend he was with looked so ordinary that I just thought Kim Soohyun must be a really handsome guy from Gangnam. After Kim Soohyun and his friend left the store, I said to my coworker, "Did you see that? Amazing, right?" My coworker replied, "Nuna! That was Kim Soohyun!" "Huh? Who's Kim Soohyun... Oh, Kim Soohyun? Oh my!" "Nuna, didn't you know it was Kim Soohyun and kept staring at him?" "No, I didn’t. I was just staring because he was so handsome." I regret it so much. If I had known it was Kim Soohyun that day, I would have begged for a photo, even if I had to cling to his leg. This was a small reminiscence of Kim Soohyun's fan who was suffering from Do Minjun's fever.”
