    I found this old interview (around 2012 before he filmed for Horse Doctor) about his interest on motorbike riding. I did the translation so I can share a little bit more on his personal life & interest. But I warn you, he talked about motorbike a lot here! Since it's an interview with Scooter N Stlye - the bike enthusiast. You can click the source link below for all his pics with his motorbike. Enjoy reading!
    TITLE: JO SEUNG WOO - A RIDER THAT RIDES FOR THE SAKE OF ROMANCE
    Actor Jo Seung Woo was an ordinary young man in 'Who Are You', a mournful hero in 'Classic', a naive boy in 'Marathon', a charismatic man in Tazza and furthermore this actor has an explosive singing ability when he is on musical stage. These days, he got hooked with the fun of riding. To relieve his old thirst, he changed his monotonous daily routine dynamically and there are many positive changes happened to him since then. I met him, the man who rides for the sake of fulfilling his ideals on long lasting romance.
    Reporter: Hi, how are you? What kind of actor do you prefer to be called as?
    Jo Seung Woo: Well, I'm not sure. Although I debut as a movie actor, what I really wanted to do no matter what is actually a musical actor. But soon, I'm going to appear in a drama too. So, how about being called as an actor who rides a motorbike?
    Reporter: What you're working on right now?
    Jo Seung Woo: Currently, my movie 'Perfect Game' is playing at the cinema. It is a movie about the life of the legendary baseball coach Choi Dong Won. Yang Dong Geun-ssi and Son Byung Ho sunbaenim also appeared in the movie with me. My childhood dream was to be a baseball player - a pitcher at that. But since I have the chance to play for the coach Choi Dong Won's role, I agreed to do it without thinking too much. And I'm also doing a musical 'Dr. Zhivago' until June. I play for the hero role named 'Yuri Zhivago'.
    Reporter: Dr. Zhivago's hit success, a new movie release as well as your first appearance in a drama have become hot topic lately. Do you have any particular reason why you haven't done any drama only until now?
    Jo Seung Woo: I'll have my drama appearance after 13 years of my debut since 1999 through movie 'Chunhyang' that was directed by PD Im Kwon Taek. It's just a matter of me keeping the promise I have with director Lee Byung Hoon. He was the one who directed  'Heo Joon', 'Sang Do', 'Dae Jang Geum', 'Yi San', 'Dong Yi' and many other dramas. I've always wanted to work with him but there's no opportunity for that. I've promised him that if there'll be a day that I decide to work in a drama, I'll do it with him in one of his work for a start. The opportunity comes this time through 'Horse Doctor'. Since it will be broadcast during the second half of the year, I'll go straight to shoot for the drama right after 'Dr. Zhivago' ends. The fact that it is a character based on a real person's life that used to be a veterinarian and went up to be a royal physician makes the role more interesting to me.
    Reporter: When did you make up your mind to become an actor?
    Jo Seung Woo: I think around my 3rd year in junior high school. I had a very shy personality back then. I only liked baseball and BMX bicycle. At that time, my elder sister was attending Kaywon Art High School under movie and theater major. Trough one of her regular school plays, she used to play the heroine role for musical 'Don Quixote' and when I watched the musical performance, I had a thought in my mind 'Ah, this is it!'. From that moment, the life that I had been living on with my shy and quite personality started to change. I also entered the same Kaywon Art High School and I lived with a goal to be a musical actor in mind. And then by chance I got casted for Lee Mong Ryong role in movie 'Chunhyang'. I lived as a movie actor since then. However, for me who had only been dreaming to become a musical actor and ended up being a movie actor,  I was having a hard time then. Moreover, the impression of the image that I had from my debut movie was quite strong, it was difficult for me to get another role. After that, I got casted in movie 'Wanee & Junah', and only then I'd be able to escape from Lee Mong Ryong's fixed image. The hero of musical 'Don Quixote' that I first watched at Kaywon Art High School at that time was Go Se Won sunbaenim who is still very active in musical until now.
    (His own sister Jo Se Yon is also currently working as a musical actress) 
    Reporter: In your opinion, what is the appeal of musical?
    Jo Seung Woo: It is the deeply-moved feeling that can only be felt when you're on stage. It's hard to describe it with words. When I'm on stage, I get to feel as if I'm a nation which its people are strongly alive. When I'm on stage, I feel happiness and joy, touched and thankful at the same time. For each and every time I'm on stage, I feel grateful to God. It is because I got to watch 'Don Quixote' at an early age and started to pray."God, If you grant my wish, I will be a really strong believer and always be grateful to you!" That's how I prayed. Many years have passed after that and in 2007; the 7th year since I made my musical debut. Finally I was be able to play the role of 'Don Quixote'. In Korea, it was entitled as 'Man Of La Mancha'. I completed this play and received 'Best Actor Award' for this role at the Musical Awards.
    Reporter: How did you start to have interest on motorbike riding?
    Jo Seung Woo: I happened to know about 'Ducati Monster' in 2005 and that's how I got into motorbike riding. But then I was so busy that I didn't have the time to ride anymore. And then I went to army and I met fellow actor Ryu Soo Young there. He looked so cool when he's riding. Then I got discharged from army and in 2012 I decided to bike-riding again and I put that plan into action. Classic motorbike was like a romance itself. The bike that my friend Ryu Soo Young rode at that time was 'Ducati GT1000'. I heard from a friend that it is a neoclassic bike and I decided that I too should try riding it. As for me, once I start to like something, I'll become completely obsessed about it. And so I got hooked on motorbike and the bike brand that I'm crazy about is Ducati. If I have certain brand that I like, I'll put my unbound trust on it. There are certain brands that I prefer for things like audio, clothes and sunglass. For audio system, I prefer JBL , Marantz and Boss audio brand. For jeans, I like Diesel brand and I won't be disappointed with clothing brand like Dior. While for sunglass I always like RayBan and for bike, I think Ducati is the best brand. Although I also like 'BMW K1300S'.
    Reporter: People around you must have tried to dissuade you, how did you convince them?
    Jo Seung Woo: My mom has already given her approval coolly. My friends were worried at first, but since they know my driving style, they don't seem to worry about it anymore. Even for cars, I always drive them extremely careful. So there's no different with motorbike. Ah, there's one person that tried to dissuade me. Actor Hwang Jung Min! Yesterday he put a written note on my 'Ducati GT1000' saying, "Dude. Don't ride a motorbike! I'm going to tell your mom." And he even put a clump of grass on the bike's handle. It is the same kind of grass that we use in military camouflage you know. So, I sent him a text message saying, "Hyung-ah, about me riding a motorbike, my mom think it's cool!"
    Reporter: Body is the greatest asset for everyone, don't you think you need to pay more attention  about your safety? Or do you have your own secret on safe driving?
    Jo Seung Woo: I have searched a lot of accident images on my own. I identified the type of those accidents and I try not to create such situations for myself. And I also learn a thorough defensive driving. I've been driving car for quite a long time now and there's no accident  so far. It's because of my defensive driving habit, I guess. It is the same for motorbike too. After I first decided to ride a motorbike, I have already determined that I'm going to use as many protectors as possible no matter how hot, how cold, how uncomfortable or even how troublesome that would be for me. I have been keeping this promise that I made to myself. And always drive with a mind as if you're a newbie who's still learning how to drive. Don't be a big-headed. One's tour content and driving style varies depending on one's preference. Try to ride with people who have safe driving style.
    Reporter: What kind of motorbike that you like?
    Jo Seung Woo: I like the one with classic style. I can feel the charms of the old-style bike. I like motorbike with timeless appeal instead of the bike that is trendy for one short time only. Because I've started riding a bike that gives classic feeling, 'Ducati Paul Smart' becomes the bike that I like the most. And since I've came to know many types of motorbike and I could feel each of their appeals, I used to have a lot of favourite models before. Originally, I would be looking for Yamaha or Honda's old model but I've learned more about motorbikes and those knowledges are pretty helpful. That's why I still think the best bike for me is none other than 'Ducati Paul Smart'. I was so lucky that it was available after I was 'hunting' for it for about a month. I didn't think that it was going to be available that fast you know.
    Reporter: You come here today by riding what kind of bike?
    Jo Seung Woo: I come here riding my 'Ducati Paul Smart'. Sometimes, I use 'Ducati GT1000' when I go for a riding tour with my friends. Now I'm waiting to buy a 'Ducati 1199 Panigale Tricolore'. I've already booked my name as No.1 customer on the reservation list. All those bikes are too attractive to be ignored.
    Reporter: It looks like that you have fallen over motorbikes very deeply, this is serious.
    Jo Seung Woo: Bike made the immature teen I was into present Jo Seung Woo in his 30s. Riding itself is a pleasant thing to begin with. Speed is not the important thing but instead, the fact that I ride a motorbike is what's important here.
    Reporter: Is there anything that you gain or lose because of motorbike?
    Jo Seung Woo: Self-satisfaction. I'm not riding a motorbike to make someone else notice me. Motorbike riding is just something that I've been dreaming to do for such a long time. So it's just a matter of self-fulfilling. I feel that as if all my built-up thirsts for life all these time are getting quenched and eased while I'm riding a motorbike. In that sense, I gain a really great satisfaction from it. Something that I lose from motorbike riding? There's no such thing happens to me so far.
    Reporter: Do you even ride motorbike on regular basis?
    Jo Seung Woo: No matter how busy I am, I'll try to make some time to ride. I ride a motorbike as a transportation means to the theater hall. Even on Mondays when there's no concert schedule, I go to suburbs area for a tour. I usually ride together with Ryu Soo Young the person who enticed me with Ducati's charms two or three times a month. There'll be a sight of two Ducati GT1000s running on the road side by side.
    Reporter: In future, what kind of motorbike you want to ride?
    Jo Seung Woo: I want to ride 'Triumph Bonneville'because of the bike's history itself. Owning such a bike, riding them and knowing about its long history, I think just by having it, I could be as if I'm part of its continuing history.
    Reporter: In your opinion, what is the fun of riding a motorbike?
    Jo Seung Woo: I think, even though motorbike riding is a very common thing to do but it gives great pleasure to me. Riders are simple person. We always have interest on weather forecast. If the weather is good, we'll go to suburbs for a ride and to greet the nature. To find a great place with good air and great scenery where we can eat delicious food while having a chat with other people who tag along. There's nothing special about the story on how people live but still it can be fun to share and hear our little ordinaries of life. People who work in the same line as me are normally very sentimental. We do pursue our individual romantic ideals. Such as holding hands with girlfriend and maybe go to the theater or walking in the snow while listening to the carols, that sort of things that can move our hearts.  Or the two of us on a motorbike, driving down a quiet road while stepping on the fallen leaves. These are the kind of romantic ideals that I have. And to me, motorbike is the only means that can help me fulfilling those ideals.
    Reporter: What kind of actor that you would like to be?
    Jo Seung Woo: I want to be an actor that people wouldn't get tired of and always curious about for a very long time. I like the old things you know. The fact that I like 'Ducati Paul Smar't says a lot about how much I like the old style stuffs. Because even after a long time, they still retain their timeless appeals. Like the motorbike I mentioned before, it is a beautiful bike that I wouldn't get tired to look at even now. That's the kind of actor I want to be. An actor that people would never get tired of. This year, I'm doing all things that are different from my expectation. 'Doctor Zhivago' musical too is actually an unplanned work, so is my appearance in a drama. However, I think these happen since I started to bike-riding. Normally, I only do one work at a time and it has to be planned beforehand. But for 2012, I'm working on a completely different things from my laid plans. However I'm glad to have these kind of changes in my life. Many unplanned great opportunities come pouring in. I think 'Doctor Zhivago' and motorbike riding are one of the best choices that I've made. After I defer the idea to hold back my interest on motorbike riding, I think there are many good things happen to me. Therefore, this year I've decided to challenge myself. I've already challenged myself with this motorbike riding, so I'm going to challenge myself working on a drama.
    Reporter: Do you have anything to say to some people who have preconceived notions about not to own or ride a motorbike?
    Jo Seung Woo: I used to have prejudice too. I had my own preconceived notion particularly about riding a Ducati motorbike. But every bike has its own charms and once you come to love it, there's no turning back anymore. When I ride a motorbike, for some reasons it makes me feel somewhat healthy. It feels like as if I'm doing a physical training. Seeing a group of riders, I think I feel much safer. They are all genuine people. Rather than drinking liquor or hanging around the house listlessly, they prefer to sit on a bike and ride along a riverside or a forest trail, facing the nature. These are all romantic things to do. And riders know how to appreciate even a tiny speck of sunshine. Through their eyes they know how to look for the beauty in the wind and the natural scenery of the earth. Sometimes there are car drivers who strongly reveal their discomforts towards the loud exhaust noise but I heard that there is a certain slogan in Harley's stores in US that says 'For the sake of your life and your safety, turn up the exhaust noise'. To car drivers who don't ride a motorbike, by notifying their stands on that matter (motorbike-riding), they probably do that to protect themselves. But through the point of view of motorbike riders, bike-riding it's not necessarily all about revving up sound only but it's more about safely enjoying a ride together and helping each other. As for me, it is the best not to ride motorbike radically and instead, take a long time to enjoy the ride slowly .
    Reporter: Any finishing words?
    Jo Seung Woo: Motorbike itself is a romance. I want to live safely while enjoying romance for a very very long time.

    @autumn93 I summarized what the writer said here:
    She said there were a lot of parts that couldn't be filmed accordingly to the script due to tight shooting schedule and there were a lot of important scenes were cut during the editing process. She said if foreshadow scenes were cut it would surely disturb the next scenes. She referred to the scene when Saet Byul ran alone to the toilet while Kim Soo Hyun still in the basement car park. In the script, the scene was originally written to happen just in front of their house entrance. But due to time obstacle, it was changed because she said they didn't even have the time to move & change places. She also said that they couldn't even make the last scene of the drama between Kim Soo Hyun & Ki Dong Chan to happen. So she understands why she got criticized from viewers. She feels so regretful herself about the missing scenes and she really wants to make it specifically & accordingly to the script. In her opinion, drama with this kind of genre really needs to be done in a pre-production way. In other words, she thinks that the drama wasn't smooth due to the rushing filming that leads to the poor editing & such.
    p/s: I kinda feel the same way. She could say whatever she wants right. Maybe we could ask JSW himself, whether the writer did really talked abt 2nd season with him. Hahaha..

    I was checking JSW news just now & there's an interview with GG14D writer Choi Ran. I mostly skipped the whole interview except the last part when she said:
    "In the beginning of the synopsis, I meant to let Ki Dong Chan died. But after the story was progressing, JSW & I had a talk the possibility about making a Season 2 of GG14D. Therefore I wrote the open ending in a way that there would be a room left for the story could be developed, just in case. Will there be a production for Season 2? It would be great if it does happen."
    Can you believe it guys?? I feel 50-50 about this. I'm happy of course if this Season 2 she talked about will answer all the loopholes in the story. But just imagine it will turn out worse than the first one?  #-o . But I bet SBS won't be interested that much since the drama didn't give them highest rating.  What do you think?

    @thegirlwho  I'm a Malay girl with none whatsoever knowledge in Chinese. I'm not fluent in Korean but I can translate most Korean articles. But I may take quite some time to finish translating some long interviews/articles. It depends on my schedule at that time too. I did all the translations for actor YJH myself & most KSR news in her fansite as well. Hopefully, I can do some good for JSW too.

    @annagriss8 @autumn93 Hello guys! I miss JSW so much these days so I try watch his movies & clips from YT.  He even appeared in my dream last night! Is it normal? I guess I really need some help here.  :P 
    @thegirlwho! JSW is getting more fans as I'm aware of when I visit Dramabeans.. Maybe we can discuss more details here to do the fansite thingy. I can provide the translation if needed.  Managing a fansite is pretty tedious at first. If there are many people cooperate, we can make it happen p(^_^)q.  BTW Happy watching. I'm so relieved that at least 'Horse Doctor' has a happy ending that is worth 50 freaking long eps! I'm happy to say that it is the longest drama I've ever watched so far. Hehe..

    Hi all! I've been searching for any JSW's fansite.. Apparently soompi is the only one exists.. Sigh.. I'm officially a new fan of JSW after watching him 'GG14Days' despite the ending! My new obsession with JSW made me watched the 50 eps of 'Horse Doctor' in 1 week! And I'm currently trying to watch all his movies  :D. So far I've finished watching 'Marathon', 'The Classic' & 'Perfect Game'. Trying to search for 'Peaches Tree' but still cannot find it. 
    His acting is super awesome in every piece of his works! He has fun personality too in real life! I can see that from most of his interviews. Even Lee Yo Won said that. She was kinda surprised after knowing him & teasingly said is it true that he is the good actor & singer that everyone is talking about. LYW laughed & didn't finished her words.. Maybe the JSW that she had in mind is a serious person instead of fun playful JSW. Haha. Even his partner in Perfect Game also said he never knew that JSW could be this fun as a person!
    Anyway, keep this thread alive. I just wish if we could put effort to create a fansite blog for him or something like that. I originally want to do that but I already have my obligation for  Yeon Jung Hoon & Kang Sora. But if someone is willing to do it, I'm so happy to contribute also! :x
