The drama’s producers stated, “In today’s broadcast, viewers will be able to see Ji Wook being unable to stay away from Bong Hee. He will fall for Bong Hee more and more as time passes.”

Ji Chang Wook And Choi Tae Joon Talk About Their Bromance Both On And Off Screen

 

 

On May 31, the cast of “Suspicious Partner” participated in a press conference for the drama, through which they covered a variety of topics, including cast chemistry and Ji Chang Wook’s military enlistment.

In “Suspicious Partner,” viewers have watched Choi Tae Joon’s character, Ji Eun Hyuk, attempt to win over Ji Chang Wook’s character, No Ji Wook, time and time again. While the two had been friends ever since they were children, they became estranged after No Ji Wook’s then-girlfriend Cha Yoo Jung (Hello Venus’s Nara) cheated on him with Ji Eun Hyuk.

Ji Chang Wook said, “Tae Joon’s character keeps courting my character, who creates the possibility [for reconciliation] without actually acting on it and just keeps him around. I feel like if Ji Eun Hyuk isn’t there, my character would feel a little empty; however, No Ji Wook also doesn’t want to be too nice to him either.”

Choi Tae Joon said, “The best part about being on set is teasing Ji Chang Wook. I don’t think No Ji Wook will accept Ji Eun Hyuk’s good intentions any time soon so I think I’ll have to continue trying to win him over. That being said, it’s not tiring at all because when the cameras are off, Ji Chang Wook is always asking where I am because set feels empty to him when I’m not there. I’m very satisfied with [our bromance] in reality.”

Ji Chang Wook previously stated that “Suspicious Partner” would be his last project before his mandatory military enlistment, which he also confirmed at the press conference. Ji Chang Wook cheerfully asked everyone to congratulate him about his military enlistment and said, “I think it’s a great thing that I am able to enlist without any problems…I will put my all into my military service and think that I will be able to return as more of a man.”

Choi Tae Joon said to Ji Chang Wook, “I hope that you will be able to complete your military service well and return healthy. Just think that you’re just taking a well-deserved break for two years but don’t eat too much ramen. Don’t play too many computer games and read a lot of books.”

The actor also confessed, “I told Ji Chang Wook that I would visit him while was serving but he told me to not come,” which made everyone laugh.

[Magazine] 10+Star, Issue 70 (Part 2) – Close-up of Ji Chang Wook

This is part 2 of Ji Chang Wook’s interview in 10+Star magazine. Click here for part 1.

Your personality seems to be more introverted.
If we get closer, I become livelier and I will also fool around a lot, but I’m very shy at first. But having done many interviews, I’ve gotten more used to talking about myself.

Do you like to read books?
I have many comic books at home (laughs). Recently, I bought the whole series of a comic called “Piano no Mori” except for two volumes. I enjoyed reading it a lot when I was younger, but it is now out of print so I am not able to buy it. 

People seem to read a lot of books when they enter the army, what do you think?
I want to play (laughs). It will be really great if I’m able to study, but I wonder how many people are able to do that. Of course, I don’t think I will be an exception.

You are entering the army at quite a late age, how will you deal with it if you get bullied by seniors who are younger than you?
Sincerity will probably be the best. Even when they bully me, I think they will treat me better once they know of my sincerity. I can also like you a lot (laughs). It’s vague but I think I’ll be able to do a good job, and it will probably be interesting.

You have a nickname “Gob Wookie*”, was there a moment where you really felt like a “Gob Wookie”?
My friends gave me that nickname (laughs). I don’t ride roller coasters because I can’t bear it, so I’m quite timid. There’s usually a lot of preparation done when I film action scenes so I don’t get scared, but feel comfortable instead.

*”Gob Wookie (겁욱이)” is a combination of the words “fear (겁/Gob in Korean)” and his name “Wook (욱)”. This nickname also rhymes with the word “turtle (거북이/Gor Bukie)” in Korean, which is why you sometimes see him associated with the Pokemon Squirtle in fan art.

There’s also a nickname “Ji Geu Dok” that is a combination of “Ji Chang Wook” and “Bbi Geu Dok (creak)”. People say that your dancing is awkward.
I think I’m always ji-geu-dok (laughs). This name was given by fans, I think the nicknames given by my fans are all good.

I hear that you are obsessed with games recently.
I will occasionally go to my close friend’s office to play Starcraft. It has been a long time since I played it so I find it fun. Mobile games are also convenient to play so I play a lot of that.

What do you like to do to recharge yourself?
Riding my bike. It has been almost over a year since I rode my bike while filming a show. I like the sound of the wind rushing past my face, and I slightly enjoy the speed too. And also meeting up with my friends. I enjoy just being with the people I like. So I will ask “What shall we do now?” once I meet my friends and pass time like that.

Ji Chang Wook And Nam Ji Hyun Walk The Line Between Romance And Comedy During Kiss Scene For “Suspicious Partner”

 

 

Recently SBS released some behind-the-scenes stills of the kiss scene between Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun on “Suspicious Partner.”

In Episode 16, broadcast on June 1, Bong Hee (Nam Ji Hyun) headed to the park at a call from Chan Ho (Jin Joo Hyung) and is belatedly followed by Ji Wook (Ji Chang Wook). After being scolded for her actions, they returned to her house. There, Ji Wook apologized and held her close, followed by the kiss. Uniquely, the kiss scene has received attention for featuring no background music.

During the filming for the scene, Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun created both a romantic and a comic atmosphere in turns. The scene was filmed at the end of May at a set in Ilsan, with both actors checking their lines and expressions carefully before shooting. They rehearsed with director Park Seon Ho and occasionally played around with “mock” kiss scenes.

However, when the scene started shooting in earnest, both actors were focused on the task at hand, with reportedly the whole set holding their breath to stay as quiet as possible for the “soundless” scene.

Everyone Wants To Know What’s Going On Between Ji Chang Wook And Choi Tae Joon In “Suspicious Partner” Stills

 

 

Whatever’s going on between Ji Chang Wook and Choi Tae Joon on “Suspicious Partner,” the other characters are intensely curious about it!

In the new stills, released on June 8 from the SBS drama, Nam Ji Hyun, Lee Duk Hwa, and Jang Hyuk Jin peep into the office where Choi Tae Joon and Ji Chang Wook are facing off.

Although Eun Hyuk (Choi Tae Joon) is normally the moodmaker character, he looks deadly serious in the new stills, even possibly angry at Ji Wook (Ji Chang Wook), whom he normally tries to get along with (admittedly to varying degrees of success).

According to the production staff, Eun Hyuk will take on a new case in Episodes 19 and 20. He briefed the others at the firm about the case, but Ji Wook smells something fishy and opposes him.

The staff stated, “Ji Wook and Eun Hyuk will have a clash of opinions over the two responsibilities of a lawyer: the need for truth and the need for confidentiality. To see what kind of case they’ve received and how they’re going to solve it, please tune in to the upcoming episode.”

Sweetie, that's because the live link will not be posted until the sale date or the day before.  Interpark Global may not be handling it this time either, but we won't know for sure until closer to Tuesday.

[Daldan]

Thank you my dear @cherkell 

One more thing I wish to ask though, if Interpark Global won't be handling Ji Chang Wook's concert ticket this time, is it possible for non-Korean speakers like me to purchase the ticket? Today I tried purchasing other tickets from Interpark but it required me to sign up, then when I tried signing up, it was all in Korean and I don't know what to do next  Then when I clicked change the language to English, it relocated me back to Interpark Global again  And do you need to be a Korean citizen or do you need to have Korean ID card to be able to sign up?

I'm sorry for asking a lot. I really do want to go
