Lee Jong Suk and Kim Woo Bin Interview

image

LJS: Hi, this is Lee Jong Seok…

KWB: …and Kim Woo Bin!

Interviewer: Do you know the phrase “Kaemitonda”?

LJS: (to KWB) Do you know that phrase?

KWB: ?!

Interviewer: It is widespread on the Internet that Lee Jong Suk is the “Kaemi Angel” on “School 2013”, causing much discussion…

LJS: *shy laugh*

KWB: Er… This… What is he talking about? “What is “Kaemi Angel”?

image

Caption: The phrase “Kaemi Angel” comes from the English word “chemical” (kaemi-) and is a nickname given by fans to Lee Jong Suk,  referring to his ability to be in scenes with all co-stars like Choi  Daniel, Jang Nara or Kim Woo Bin, and have a matching chemistry with all of them.

Interviewer: It means that you match well with fellow actors, no matter who it is.

LJS: O-ohh… that is too much praise. ❤

Interviewer: Who do you think you match best with?

LJS: For me, I think almost everyone… with Kim Woo Bin who is right  next to me now, we are doing this together now, so probably it’s Kim Woo Bin?

KWB: Hmm…

Interviewer: What do you think about that, Kim Woo Bin?

KWB: Well, I… I’m in scenes with nobody but Jong Suk. *laughs*

Interviewer: Debuted in “White Christmas”, then “A Gentleman’s  Dignity”, then now “School 2013”, it’s your third time playing a  rebellious youngster. In reality, are you also a little rebellious like  that? (…slightly scared to ask)

KWB: What do you think I’m like? (Er, why don’t you speak yourself?)

LJS: Yes, he is very rebellious.

image

KWB: What the- *hits LJS* I actually thought that I don’t seem like a rebellious youth at all…

LJS: Really?

KWB:  (Do you have to ask?) Isn’t it?

Interviewer: Actually, when Kim Woo Bin was in school, he usually is  among the top 3 in his class, he was even once in the top 5 of his  entire school.

KWB: *nods nods* (See, I am a model student.)

Interviewer: It’s quite different from your image… perhaps you had really strict parents?!

KWB: ……What are these questions?!

image

Interviewer: What is Kim Woo Bin like from Lee Jong Suk’s perspective?

LJS: For me, when you first meet him and during filming, you may  think he is like Heung Soo, but when he is reading his script, he looks  quite serious.

Interviewer: For Lee Jong Suk, you have been through “Princess  Prosecutor”, “Secret Garden”, “High Kick” and now “School”, it is almost like a master class of acting training. What is it about you that makes PDs and writers like you so much? I want to hear your own thoughts.

LJS: Er, I, um… I don’t know. *embarrassed*

KWB: From what I can see, Jong Suk is the flower boy that many young  people like these days, he’s tall and also good at acting, which is why  writers have to get him… that’s what I think. (to LJS) how about that,  isn’t that what you wanted to say? Inside your heart? (Yo man!)

LJS: Yup that’s it~ (Nice assist!)

image

Interviewer: In the show, the characters that you play seek to lend a voice to the school violence that is going on. Have you ever seen  school violence or experienced it? Since your acting is almost too real…

KWB: (to LJS) What do you say?

LJS: Rather than experiencing it for myself, there has been a lot of  movies or dramas about this topic… but not really experienced it  personally…

KWB: Jong Suk and I are originally friends and back when we went to  school, it was not that bad. We would read lots of newspapers and  reports on these issues before we started filming. Compared to kids  these days, we were not so aggressive.

Interviewer: Any words you want to say to students?

LJS: I feel that many viewers of “School” are probably students or  parents of students. There may be parts of the show where students can  feel a pang of recognition and familiarity, while there are other parts  where parents would say, “Ah, so schools are really like this these  days?”. If students can learn something from the show, it would be  great; as for the parents… I can’t wrap up the speech again. TAT

image

KWB: As for the parents, these days many of them are probably too  busy to have conversations with their children. So if they watch the  drama, then there is a chance to sit down as a family and talk deeply.  If they can make some time for this, things can surely improve… that’s  what you wanted to say, right?

LJS: Exactly!

KWB: Exactly.

LJS: “School 2013”…

KWB: Please show us much love. See you!

LJS: See you!

Will Soo Ae, Kwon Sang Woo’s Chemistry Off-Set Carry Over on Screen?

As the leads of SBS’ upcoming Yawang, Soo Ae and Kwon Sang Woo are carrying much of the drama’s expectations but so far, the two are already gathering their share of praise from the drama’s staff.
New behind-the-scenes still cuts of Soo Ae and Kwon Sang Woo were released by the show’s producers on December 20 showing the two leads on the drama’s set.The two actors’ chemistry and commitment to the drama were evident with one picture showing them going over their lines even during meals.

Another cut showed Soo Ae laughing as Kwon Sang Woo humorously rehearsed a line in front of her.

According to staff on the set, the two are continuing to show remarkable chemistry together, while tirelessly rehearsing their lines in a seemingly endless fashion. Another added while it’s uncommon for male and female leads to grow close right off the bat, Kwon Sang Woo and Soo Ae have been proving otherwise as they joke around and are seen being friendly even when the cameras are off.

The two actors didn’t hold back their compliments for each other either with Soo Ae saying of her co-star, “My character is one I need to really focus on but [Kwon Sang Woo] goes so much out of the way for me that I’m very comfortable.”Kwon Sang Woo responded, “Her character is one I really must give my all to and I find myself being able to do that naturally.”

Yawang premieres in January on SBS.

‘School 2013’ to do away with Lee Jong Suk and Park Sae Young love line

 

KBS 2TV Mon-Tue drama ‘School 2013’ continues to draw a huge following, and the official website has now updated its character relationship chart on December 13th, signaling their attention to focus on the ‘friendship’ and ‘rival’ storylines for its students, but doing away with the ‘romance’ element.

The drama has gotten off to a great start by touching on smoking among students, rise in school violence (bullies), loss of authority among teachers, and other real issues in today’s society. Go Nam Soon (Lee Jong Suk) and Song Ha Kyung (Park Sae Young) was actually going to have a romance storyline written for them in the coming episodes, but many viewers have voiced their opinion that there wasn’t really a need for romance for a school drama. To cater to their viewers’ requests, the production team finally came to a decision to do away with Nam Soon and Ha Kyung’s love line.

The production team expressed, “‘School 2013’ will go to even greater details to reveal more true stories in the school environment in the upcoming episodes. So with regards to that, we have actually been deliberating over whether there was a need to add in a love line.”

Meanwhile, the conclusion of episode 4 this past Tuesday saw Oh Jung Ho (Kwak Jung Wook) beating up on Park Heung Soo (Kim Woo Bin), and led to Nam Soon retaliating by whacking Oh Jung Ho back crazily. With more than meets the eye behind Nam Soon’s sudden loss of composure, viewers are anticipating for next week’s episode even more.
