[Article] IFFAM: Talent Ambassador, Jang Keun Suk on Balancing Acting and Directing

MACAO – Jang Keun-suk, the Korean actor and singer who is riding a huge wave of popularity, Friday gave the new IFFAM some necessary wow factor.

In town as the festival’s talent ambassador, Jang presented two short films that he has directed, and mingled with ordinary festival-goers. The Macao Tower venue was packed with fans of his TV shows “Beethoven Virus,” and “You’re Beautiful,” or his song “200 Miles.” Many of the fans tried to catch the 29-year-old’s eye by waving electrified banners.

“What I like the most about the IFFAM is that it is a place where I can network with people from different parts of the world, not just Korea,” said Jang.

Jang’s latest directorial work, “The Great Legacy” sees the story of a frustrated young man who waits for his comatose father to wake up and give him the PIN to his bank account. His earlier short film “Daega Elementary School” stars Jang as himself revisiting the school he graduated 20 years ago.

During the Q&A session that followed the screenings, Jang was asked to compare his two jobs—actor and director.

“Directing is of course laborious. Acting, however, is also a big deal. Actors have to create something out of nothing from within,” said Jang. “Considering my personality, I think I am more of an actor-type person.”

[Interview] Jang Keun Suk on ‘Shukan Josei (Weekly Women)’ Maz, Jan 3&10 issue

Q: What do you do when you recharge?
JKS: Used to go clubbing previously, eat and drink with my friends. However lately, my ears will become painful after 5 min in the club. So I will leave as soon as I greeted my friends (laugh). Now I treasure the times I relax at home. Watching movie, watch other artist live performance DVD, writing scripts. Not only it helps as a reference to my acting as well as live shows, it also brings about inspirations. Writing script is one of the projects I have to complete in my University course, professor says “to write a serious human drama” but I personally prefer comedy, hence am currently writing a story about the main lead who drank too much and cause a big commotion comedy (laugh) If I could become a director who can also write scripts in future that will be great!

Q: What type of role would you like to try acting in future?
JKS: When I am selecting a drama, the most important thing I look out for is one where the character fits me. Since I have long hair in my 20s, I often acted in romantic comedy, but now that I turn 30, I hope to challenge police officer, criminal type of manly role. Looking forward to getting such offers! (laugh)

Q: After getting married, how will you be?
JKS: Now that I am 30, many around me are married. Those who used to drink with me till wee hours in the morning will now head back home before 12 midnight after they are married. Everyone look blissful in their marriage. But, at the same time, they also tell me “Keun-chan, if you can, getting married at a later age is better” (laugh) I wonder what is the truth… How will I actually be when I got married… I am the type who will still need my me-time when get I am married. But I will refrain from going out party and drinking so my spouse will feel secure.

Q: (Based on Korean age) you are now entering your 30s, what has changed?
JKS: Energy level has gone down (laugh) This is a joke. However since January this year, I felt a stronger sense of responsibility, and I have to work hard, yet nothing really changed. In my 20s, I was working hard, there is little time for myself nor time to relax. I turned 30 in August, it is important to recharge in order to excel in the drama I wish to act in. I need to be zealous during worktime, and fully relax during my personal time. I feel it is important to strike a good balance between the two.
