- You decided on your next project pretty quickly. What made you decide to star in "The King"?

"It was a good scenario and I didn't really think much about it when I decided to do it. I liked the role that I was given and I am a fan of the director too. I should say I was chosen and not that I chose it. I am meeting Jeong Woo-seong and Jo In-Seong in "The King". I am so excited to work with someone I watched on TV since I was a student. He was very friendly when I met him shortly before".

 

 

Okey guys...rest our worries. he did met the PD, JWS and JIS, probably during the script reading. he just missing the photoshoot together (probably chasing the PD to annoy him...at least we dont have to see the same socks again...#sorry,iamkidding #noiamnot)

and the keyword, he sincerely said, I WAS CHOOSEN ...not that he choose. i am proud. the PD choose him to tbe in the project...

Failed again with the fanmeeting ticket sales.

I'll just curl up into a ball and cry here.

 

oh my god..did the ticketing is like a war again ?i hope noone sneakingly reselling it again.

[beldaran]

I'm so happy that all of these interview articles are coming out. I love reading about his thoughts after some time away from the project...
...with YOF helping with that, lol. 

The round interviews are a little difficult sometimes since most of them use the same quote and you're wading through everything to find the one thing that one paper reported but not anybody else. It also magnifies the stuff that IS said... like how often it's mentioned that he's ugly or somesuch. While he may not be my definition of hot, I don't think he's ugly, either. I am glad that he has the confidence in himself and what he can do. He definitely has a charm... and the love of all his fans.... who don't have to suffer a military service absence in the future. XD;

Can't wait to see the boys back on screen NEXT WEEK!!

[mojobobo]

- What is the biggest change you've experienced after "Answer Me 1988"?

"There's no pressure. I think I just have to be the way I always was. I don't think I should be over my head just because "Respond" was successful. Good results followed and I hope for the best in the next thing I do".

 

 

yes, stay humble, stay out of the limelight..do your thing step by step like you used to do, things are going good without force.

- We heard you were really upset when things didn't work out with Hyeri.

"I learned that things didn't work with her on the nineteenth episode. I decided to let Deok-seon go. Jeong-hwan would've been upset but I wasn't that bad. He must've been really sad".

 

hmm..it's DUKSEON guys..not Hyeri..whatever, his short responds showing that he had move on from the character.
 

Quote

 

 

Ryu Jun-yeol became a star in just 2 years and rumors of envy followed. He is said to be 'vain' and apparently he had issues with the staff and crew which created mixed opinions about the actor. However, he was so shy to even look at the reporter in the eye. He said, "There were a lot of rumors about me after the drama and I think they had something to do with the fact that Jeong-hwan didn't become Deok-seon's (Hyeri) husband. I just have to be more careful and modest. I am the same but those around me look at me differently. So I think I should be more responsible for my actions". He is more appealing the more we look at him as he is so modest.

 

they clearly tried to messed up with the wrong guy

 

 

[littledonita]

Guys, I truly feel happy today.

Ryu Jun Yeol is being "Ryu Jun Yeol" in all these interviews and we finally got some updates about The King 

 

[yumeaki]

The sports kyunghyang interview pics posted by @namunamuyeppeo and @mojobobo ? Very fitting for the lunar new year season. Hahaha. So RED!

anything he can't do ? he can play soccer (that required more physically ),swimming, flute, piano...and then bamm...baduk..he can do anything if he want to.

 

He drew also right? I remembered hearing in the V app broadcast where he said he has learnt drawing and hence know how hard it was to create some of the fan arts. I kind of wanted him to draw something to show us then.  I don’t know, the more I read his interviews, the more he made me feel like a slug OTL

In an interview of Choi Sung Won (the guy acting as Noeul), he praised the father Sung Dong Il who gave him good advice. One of them being:

Choi Sung Won praised Sung Dong Il, saying, “He told me that a person who likes doing many things is good at acting. He emphasized that a person’s manners are far more important than his/her acting skills. I can think of so many advices he gave me.”

As I read that, Junyeol’s image immediate popped into my mind. He has both those characteristics!

Yes! Finally some information of the movie The King straight out from his mouth.

Haha, if you put it that way, it sure sounds good that the director chose him. I do like how he worded it. He’s trying to sound humble and said it such that he didn’t choose The King (as in he chose that out of the many projects offered) but the director decided that he should be cast (and he gladly accept the opportunity). Such a humble and well mannered man.

R88’s Ryu Jun Yeol “trembling by the sudden popularity.. Don’t have appearance complex”

After the interview, Actor Ryu Junyeol (30) asked “Am I really doing well?” with one sigh. “I am really nervous,” with the grin his face makes, he looks like a playful boy. It was said that he is ugly, but the more you look at him you will grow fond, as the ‘acting as handsome’ phrase that has stuck to him, we asked what does he think, “Can you just say, he looks handsome like sculpture in real life?” while being so chatty.

This kind and pleasant youngster has enjoyed his popularity during the winter, through his acting on tvN’s drama ‘Reply1988’, as the brusque but thoughtful Junghwan. Although he became the lead of a hurtful first love, where he lost Deoksun (Hyeri) to Taek (Park Bogum), women fans go enthusiastic to his manly finest charm. The tickets for 1500 seats for his fanmeeting was sold out in only 2 minutes, also the Internet Broadcast he did by himself for a duration of more than 2 hours, set a record of 660,000 people watching.

On February 11, we meet Ryu Jun Yeol at Seoul and he said, “when I went to R88’s audition, I received a test for character Dongryongie, Sunwoo and even Taek.” Also, “I think the Director observed that there is a cautious and a quiet side in me, that’s why he put me in charge of Junghwan.” He gained 10kg for the role. “If it was me, I will try confess to my first love and do anything that I could. I feel bad to Junghwan who is hesitating because of his friendship with Taek.” He also said, “while I tried to understand how frustrated Junghwan might have felt, I did my acting as a support and a comfort for him.”

Though he might appear to be “Lightning Star” over night, soon as he graduated from Suwon University Theater and Film Department, he was consistently appearing on short films, building his acting career. Last year, through a commercial movie ‘Socialphobia’, where he showed an outstanding act, he got casted on ‘R88’. He said, “during my schooldays, even during 10-minute breaks, I earnestly played basketball and went back inside the classroom while sweating profusely, a normal boy that girl students hate.” Also he said, “I never dreamt of the celebrity world at all, suddenly the fans grew in number, I’m honestly trembling.”

Ryu Jun Yeol who was influenced by his father, a publishing designer, majored in Art  during his Junior School, and during his high school days, because he wanted to be a teacher, he even retook the entrance exam to an Education college. As the SAT was getting close, in order to stay awake he was studying while standing, and he said he fell asleep in that position for two hours. “I got a great shocked once I woke up,” he said. “The thought that studying isn’t really my thing came to me, and it made me think what thing I would really like to do.”

He decided to try acting, as he persistently watched more than two movies each day. For the SAT coming, he attended an Acting academy for one month, then he was accepted on the Theater and Film department. He endured the times when he was still a nameless actor by doing many kinds of part-time jobs such as pizza delivery, setting ten thousand chairs, and serving in a noodle restaurant. “Last year, before I joined ‘R88’, I taught Musical to elementary students in an after-school class.” He added, “the kids I taught called me and asked ‘when will I get back to class’.”

T/N: setting chairs is usually a job for a one day helper for an event organizer, usually for events like ceremonies or weddings

Though he considerably received attention late compared to Idol stars, Ryu Jun Yeol who has an optimistic personality said he doesn’t feel anxious. “I just naturally go with the flow, I believe one day all will be well no matter what.” He also said, “even when I fail during auditions, I soon challenge myself, ‘endurance’ seems to be my greatest strength.”

Ryu Jun Yeol’s personality that overcome his appearance has become the hot topic during the broadcast of the drama. Carries a single eyelid with thick lips alone, people spammed on portal sites with similar comments to these: ‘a handsomeness which is also a mask. He’s just covered all over with it’, ‘what should I do if he keeps acting handsome like that. I am worried that I have a problem with my eyes.’ To that Ryu Jun Yeol said, “they didn’t say that I have charming side? I don’t feel upset at all. Only thankful.”

He who received a note through SNS, which said  ‘I was in the middle of worrying whether I should fold my dream as an actor because of my looks, but I gained courage and comfort by looking at you.’ He said, “because an actor is a profession that will always receive evaluation in front of the public, an actor no matter what needs to have confidence about himself.” He added, “rather than saying I  have confidence with my looks, I don’t have a complex about that.”

“For an actor, looks are just one of the evaluation standards. More of that, the standard looks that are expected by public keeps changing through time. Though I can get eyes, nose, lips sculptured through plastic surgery, the labor time and the earnesty, I would rather use the expenses to read one more book and straighten my heart to be a praiseworthy actor more, I think that’s a better way.” In his spare time, he plays soccer, reads a book and watch movies, he rarely browses the internet, he also asked “I heard there is a ‘Like’ thing on Facebook right?”

Ryu Jun Yeol said, “before, it was only around six fans each time that looked for me in the filming site, I can still talk, caught up with each others’ lives with them and got along closely, but the sudden grow of it, I hardly even get to greet them.” He added,“this is a problem that is saddening me and has concerned me the most.” Also, “I want to live cooly like the US Baseball player, Clayton Kershaw, who has the best skill and has been consistently doing volunteer service also,” he said. “I am in the middle of considering how I should give back the overflowing love that I received.” Ryu Jun Yeol will meet fans through the movies ‘No Tomorrow’ ‘Glory Day’ and ‘The Boys who Cried Wolf’ which has already finished filming and is waiting to be premiered. He was also confirmed to join Jung Woo Sung and Jo In Sung as a supporting role in movie ‘The King’.

It hasn't subbed yet. Our subbing team have a bunch of projects to sub one by one, so it will need some times. If the taxi episode is put in their subbing list, then what we only can do now is to support and patiently waiting
