Son Ho Joon, "I'm in the process of becoming an actor"

Source: STARNEWS via Hancinema.net

Son Ho-joon, from the movie "Secret", was surprising. He wasn't the guy from "Three Meals A Day" where he ran errands for Cha Seung-won and Yoo Hae-jin and played with the puppies and cats there. He played Nam Cheol-woong, a man who spent 10 years planning his revenge for his girlfriend.

His acting didn't come out of nowhere. Son Ho-joon was completely engrossed in his character who spends 10 years waiting for revenge. He explained what he was thinking when he acted out every scene and he was sincere about it.

Son Ho-joon didn't get his popularity from fanciness. His appearance in the TV show "Three Meals A Day" with Cha Seung-won and Yoo Hae-jin made him look friendly. He answered all questions about acting without hesitation and although he says he's only in the process of becoming an actor, he's got what it takes to be called an actor now.

Son Ho-joon is taking step by step to become the actor he wants to be.

"I have many discussions with the director no matter what the role is. I want to know his intentions and thoughts, then think about it. I thought it might be hard because there are two directors this time. But the female director helped me with emotional parts while the male director gave me the big picture. There's a choice when there are two directors. I could choose what helped me understand the most".

Ho-joon is working hard to become a good actor. He starred in the movie "Secret" with Lee Soon-jae and Seong Dong-il who gave him advice that he treats as nutrients. He calls Seong Dong-il his 'father'.

"I didn't have a big part in the drama "Answer Me 1994". Seong Dong-il taught me how to stand out while I played small parts. Cha Seung-won and Yoo Hae-jin tell me I'm doing well. I asked Lee Soon-jae how I can be better and he told me he didn't know. For someone like him to say that, I'm still a beginner".

Son Ho-joon has become an entertainer thanks to "Three Meals A Day". He starred in many other shows after that. Because of his dark role in the movie, he must've hesitated to be in the second season of "Three Meals A Day" but he says no.

"I think the public has matured much more so I think they'll be able to tell the difference between Son Ho-joon on TV and Nam Cheol-woong in the movie".

Son Ho-joon wasn't always this sincere. He talked about Yoo Yeon-seok, who he's friends with. He planned to travel with Yoo Yeon-seok but they never were able to figure out a time to.

"We can't seem to work out our times. When I'm in a drama, he's free, and when I'm free, he's in a musical. I don't have a choice because Yeon-seok travels a lot. I don't know much so he always tells me. He draws up my travel course when I tell him what I want to do or see".

Son Ho-joon wants to be acknowledged. He said, "This is the time when everyone reviews me. I want to do any character or genre after that. I succeeded in changing my image for "Secret" but it's too soon to call myself an actor". Son Ho-joon made achievements on TV by doing his work quietly. The same thing goes for his path to becoming an actor.

Son Ho Jun can’t seem to decide who he likes more, Sanchae the dog or his best friend actor Yoo Yeon Seok.

On the recent episode of “Three Meals a Day-Fishing Village,” Son Ho Jun arrives on set and immediately starts looking for Sanchae the dog.

The actor even talks to the dog, saying, “Why didn’t you call me?”

When he appeared on the show last time, he even told the staff, “I want to buy Sanchae a phone and ask for his number.”

The staff had asked him last time, “Do you like Yoo Yeon Seok more or Sanchae more?” and Son Ho Joon couldn’t make up his mind easily.

During the interview portion of the most recent episode, Son Ho Joon revealed, “Yeon Seok saw that episode and called me. He told me, ‘Am I worth less than a dog to you?’”

Meanwhile, “Three Meals a Day-Fishing Village” airs every Friday at 9:45 p.m. KST.

The November 6 episode of “Three Meals a Day – Fishing Village Edition 2” showed Cha Seung Won, Yoo Hae Jin, Son Ho Joon, and the guest Lee Jin Wook enjoying idyllic life on an island.

One of the highlights of this episode involved Son Ho Joon. He had a little bit of free time before starting the preparations for lunch, so he browsed through the comic books equipped in the house. He picked up a 19+ comic book, and after looking around furtively, he started paying attention to it.

Yoo Hae Jin, ever so perceptive, realized immediately what was going on, asked Son Ho Joon whether it featured adult content, then sagely said, “That’s why you’re so focused.”

15 second commercial spot on ‘Three Meals A Day’ worth W25m 
Three Meals a Day (tvN)

Cable channel tvN’s top two reality shows, “Three Meals a Day,” and “Youth Over Flowers,” now boast the most expensive 15-second commercial slot among Korean television programs. 

It surpassed the amount of commercial fees on major networks such as MBC, SBS and KBS. For now, the commercial spot for KBS’s hit drama, “All About My Mom” is the costliest among shows aired on the three terrestrial broadcasters -- with a price of around 15.3 million won. 

Spoiler

Reply 1988 (tvN)

TvN’s MVP of the year, “Reply 1988,” with a viewership of 19.6 percent for its final episode, had a price of 22.5 million won. The drama profited approximately 17 billion won just from the commercial fees.

Cable channel commercials in South Korea differ from commercials broadcast on mainstream television, since there are two or three 60 second commercial breaks in-between a show. 

Notable TV programs from MBC and SBS, such as “Infinite Challenge,” and “Running Man,” all fell below tvN’s dynamic duo, when judged solely on their fees for commercial spots.

“Commercial packaging,” is also prominent at all broadcasting companies. The system only allows companies to broadcast their commercials through purchasing spots on less popular programs in ties with the popular one. 

Spoiler

Youth Over Flowers (tvN)

The “Youth Over Flowers,” and “Three Meals A Day” package includes 200 million won worth of an item called “Position in Break (PIB),” which allows companies to place their commercials in the order they favor. 

An associate in the advertising industry revealed that most in-demand shows of the moment such as “Three Meals a Day” offers a package price of 300 million won that allows advertisers to broadcast their commercials once a month -- if they’re lucky.

I'm a bit confused here. While it retains the same 3 cast, this new TMAD is no longer on Manjae-do but a countryside area in Gochang County, North Jeolla. Should there be a new thread or perhaps, some amendments on the existing thread title?

The first episode of the tvN reality show “Three Meals a Day,” starring Cha Seung-won, Son Ho-jun, Yu Hae-jin and Nam Joo-hyuk, will air on Friday. 

The upcoming series will be the fifth season of the variety program, which launched its first season in 2014. The program features celebrities in rural settings making home appliances with wire and wood and foraging for cooking ingredients.

Cha, Son and Yu previously took part in two seasons of the series last year on Manjae Island in South Jeolla. Nam has been added as a new member for the new season, which will take place in Gochang County, North Jeolla. 

“As it was released in the media, Yu originally could not join the new season due to his hectic schedule,” the program’s producer, Na Young-seok, said at a press conference held in Sangam-dong, western Seoul. 

“The production crew was going to cast a celebrity similar to Yu, but then we decided to cast someone completely different in case Yu could join back the next season.”

Yu was able to join the program at the last minute, and the four members have been confirmed for the upcoming show. 

“The four members are like a family, each fully fulfilling their role,” Na said.

'Three Meals a Day' aims to promote slow life

By Kim Jae-heun The Korea Times

"Three Meals a Day," tvN's popular reality cooking show, begins a new season ― this time in Gochang County, North Jeolla Province ― to promote healthy cooking and the slow lifestyle. Last season was shot in Jeongseon County, Gangwon Province last year from May to September.

"Many vegetables and fruits grown in Gochang will appear in our new episode," said the show's producer Lee Jin-ju during a press conference at Standford Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul. "If you find yourself interested in the show please try cooking at home with the ingredients. Our show is successful if people start to use organic ingredients after watching our series.

The reality cooking show invites popular actors Cha Seung-won, Yoo Hae-jin, Son Ho-jun and Nam Joo-hyuk to stay in the countryside and cook using only ingredients they find on the local farms. The show aims to deliver a message on the importance of preparing meals and eating together as a family, which is often ignored in fast-moving modern cities.

"We are trying to focus on the process of preparing the meals you would find in the countryside, which we believe is another fun part of watching the show. Meanwhile, the members of the cast will build a stronger fellowship among themselves through working together," Lee said.

Actors Lee Seo-jin, Ok Taec-yeon and Kim Kwang-kyu appeared in the previous season's episodes in a fishing village to show off the picturesque scenery of Manjaedo Island in South Jeolla Province. For the Gochang series, the production crew plans on showing both the seaside and mountains of the town.

Actor Cha's cooking skills are another interesting feature to watch as his unique seafood cooking style grabbed audiences in the episodes shot in the fishing village. This time the actor has to use ingredients grown in the fields and mountains.

"When I told my wife I would do this show again, the first question she asked me was ‘what kind of dishes will you make?' I think it will be the audience's common question as well," Cha said.

"In the episodes at Gochang, the actors cooked food they wanted to eat at that time," said script writer Kim Dae-joo.

"What Cha cooks in the episode is not commonly seen in ordinary life. They are his own recipes. However, if Cha has 100 different dishes he can cook, he can only make half of them in countryside because of the limitation of using available ingredients. So we decided to provide him some tools," said producer Na Young-seok.

Na also added that not all the necessary ingredients are available to cook different dishes in Gochang although there are small fields near where they are shooting. Na allowed the actors to work part-time for local residents and earn money to shop for the necessary ingredients in nearby towns.

"Of course we had the actors farm the crops for their part-time jobs as part of the entertaining segments of the show. But we used a documentary filming technique when shooting the actors working in the rice paddies, because rice is the main source of food for Koreans and it is important to show how rice is farmed," said Na.

Three Meals a Day will premier at 9:45 p.m. this Friday.
