[Event] Ji Chang Wook heads to Malaysia for “Fabricated City”

Ji Chang Wook was photographed at Incheon International Airport earlier this afternoon as he prepared to board his flight to Malaysia, where he will be attending a promotional event for his film “Fabricated City” and the launch of cable channel tvN Movies.

Ever the hardworking guy, he was spotted holding the script books of his upcoming drama “Suspicious Partner”, probably to make use of the flight time to study his new role. Coincidentally, singer Jessica Jung was also boarding the same flight as him for a separate event in Malaysia.

Here are the press pictures of him at the airport. Enjoy!

[Event] Ji Chang Wook wows the crowd in Malaysia for “Fabricated City” premiere (image heavy)

Ji Chang Wook made his first-ever visit to Malaysia on 8 April 2017 in advance of his movie “Fabricated City” 20 April premiere and to assist with the launch of tvN Movies into Malaysia.  As expected, crowds were all over the place to witness his every move at the airport, press conference and red carpet appearance!

Wook sat down for a brief interview with GSC’s resident emcee at the Westin Kuala Lumpur, where they discussed more about himself, his impressions on his first starring movie role in “Fabricated City,” and his first impressions of Malaysia (since it was his first-ever visit).  He was also presented with a box of special GSC popcorn, as the cinema chain is celebrating its 30th anniversary of opening in Malaysia.  Looks like the poor boy hadn’t eaten much that day, as he pretty much inhaled the contents whilst being interviewed.

Ji Chang Wook Reveals He Was ‘Scared’ In ‘Fabricated City’, His Upcoming New Drama And Military Enlistment

 

 

If you recall Ji Chang Wook in the prison scenes, that feel seems to come out from him genuinely.

World’s first and only Korean Blockbuster, tvN Movies, has recently brought actor Ji Chang Wook for the first time to Malaysia for his new action crime movie ‘Fabricated City’. He plays the role of protagonist Kwon Yu. Fabricated City has since topped South Korea’s local box office on its opening weekend.

On April 8, Ji Chang Wook greeted the media with his charming smile at the press conference, held at The Westin, Kuala Lumpur. He mentioned about his role in the new movie, his thoughts prior and during filming, his plans before enlisting the military, and other bits and pieces about him.

Q: Can you share a little bit on your role you played in this movie as Kwon Yu?

JI: The role Kwon Yu is – he got wrongly accused as a serial killer in 3 mins 16 secs. So throughout the whole movie, Kwon Yu was trying to solve through these fabricated problems.

Q: What are your preparations to become Kwon Yu?

JI: So for this project, unlike other projects, I did not create another character in this movie, but I just brought myself out as how I would react to this situation.

Q: Tell us, how similar are you in real life compared to your character in the movie?

JI: Well, to be honest, I don’t think we have any similarity. Because Kwon Yu, he fights for something that is unfair to him. But if I am him, I wouldn’t do something like what Kwon Yu does.

Q: What are some of the most challenging parts on filming ‘Fabricated City’?

JI: So in my memory, everything was really very difficult. For the weather part, it was hot and cold. And on emotions, I was working into the character – so I was emotionally tired as well. And there was a lot of action scenes, so I was also physically tired.

Q: What are the most memorable moments while shooting ‘Fabricated City’?

JI: When I think about the most memorable moment, I can only think about the difficult and tiring part. But if I want to point it out, I would want to say the prison scenes. Because in my mind, prison is a very scary place, so there’s no reality in the movie but we just showed it as a really scary place. During the whole scene in the prison, I was tired and scared.

Q: As seen in the trailer, it looks kind of an action movie. So have you ever sustained any injuries while filming this movie?

JI: Throughout this whole film, there was no major injury. But when we’re filming, there would be like minor scratches or little injuries. So throughout this whole movie, to prevent major injuries, we went for rehearsal for a lot of times to prevent these kind of things.

Spoiler

Q: What was your impression of Malaysia before you came? And now that you’re here, has it changed? Do you love Malaysia? Is this your first time here in Malaysia?

JI: It’s actually my first time here. Before I came to Malaysia, I was very curious, after that, all the welcomings really surprised me. So have I changed my mind? I couldn’t really answer that because I haven’t get to know Malaysia well because I was staying in my room for the whole time. Maybe I’ll consider to visit Malaysia again for travel purpose.

Q: I believe all the fans really loves you and would like to know more about you. Could you reveal a bit of your next coming project?

JI: Once I go back to Korea, we will start filming this drama. It is a mystery, romance, and comedy drama. It’s something that I’ve never acted before. It’s about a prosecutor turned into a lawyer, so it’ll be fun.

 

 

Q: What do you want to do most before enlisting into the military?

JI: Recently, I get that question a lot. I have a scheduled project coming up, so before I go to the military, I have to complete that project. If time permits, I would like to go travelling as well.

Q: Back to acting, you’ve taken up a lot of physically challenging roles such as ‘K2’ and ‘Healer’, and now, ‘Fabricated City’. Do you prefer action movies to other genres?

JI: I used to like action movies a lot. I liked to act the actions. But now, I’m starting to avoid. It’s still good, but it’s physically tiring, physically challenging, so I’ll try to adapt different roles.

Q: What are the differences in filming films and dramas?

JI: I couldn’t really feel the difference between film and drama, but I always have the stereotype that there will be a difference between film and drama. So throughout this whole film, I was facing some difficulties because of this stereotype. This might be systematically different, but for me as an actor, I couldn’t notice the difference.

[Event] Ji Chang Wook returns to Hong Kong for “JCW 2017 #Diary” fan meeting

After a busy day at the launch of tvN Movies and the gala premiere of “Fabricated City” in Malaysia, Ji Chang Wook was swiftly whizzed off to Hong Kong for his “JCW 2017 #Diary” fan meeting the next day (9 April 2017).

At close to 1:30pm, Ji Chang Wook arrived at Hong Kong International Airport, but fans waiting to receive him did not get many chances to see him as he made a quick getaway to his car via the VIP exit in light of his tight schedule. He still managed to give a quick wave to the lucky few fans and media who got to see him as he got into his car.

 

It was back to his hotel for a quick nap and to prepare for the evening ahead at the Kowloon Bay International Trade and Exhibition Center (KITEC).  The  “2017 JCW in Hong Kong #Diary” was the second fan meeting after his initial visit in June 2015.  Many floral stands stood at the entrance from Wook’s various fan clubs.

The audience was then in for a real treat, as Wook started off the show by unexpectedly entering from the rear of the auditorium carrying a basket of red roses and proceeded to pass them out to the crowd whilst singing “I Will Protect You” from the “Healer” OST.

Going with the theme of “diary”, the fan meeting revealed how a week in the life of Ji Chang Wook is like.  The show began with a busy Monday of work. A video played recalling the past, and when December 2014 was mentioned, fans immediately answered “Healer!” Ji Chang Wook laughed, “You all seem to know better than me… I was working hard on filming ‘Healer’ back then. That drama was well-liked by many people, but I had to brave the cold of winter to film it.”
