~Interview with Park Shin Hye~
Q:How do you feel after deciding to hold FM in Japan?
PSH: I’m really excited when I first heard of it. It’s
really happy to be able to hold Heartstrings FM in Japan. I’m looking forward
to this with much anticipation, and because I hope to see the fans as soon as
possible…It’s been a long wait~
PART1: LIVE STAGE
Q: From <Arirang>, <Ready for the battle?> to
<Give Me a Smile>, you’ve perform 3 songs in a row, what’s your perception
for each of these songs?
PSH: I think <Arirang> comes to the mind of anyone who
first learned the gayageum. This applies to me as well. First of all, Gyu Won
majors in gayageum in the drama. Secondly, it’s an opportunity for everyone to
learn more about Korean Traditional music. Due to all these reasons, I’ve
chosen <Arirang> as the first song for my performance. The other 2 songs
<Ready for the battle?> and <Give Me a smile> were specially
prepared today since both songs were played by Gyu Won in Heartstrings. All the
memories of filming Heartstrings surfaced while I started practicing gayageum
again, which I’m reminiscing hopelessly.
Q: You’ve performed with Windflower in today’s performance,
how’s the feeling?
PSH: It’s really happy to be able to perform with the
seniors of Windflower. Actually the seniors have other schedules, but they have
specially made time to accompany me to attend the FM, I’m really grateful to
them, and it’s really ecstatic to perform with them in Japan. I’m looking
forward to their future development
Q: Yong Hwa perform straight after Shin Hye’s performance,
how do you feel watching by the side?
PSH: He’s indeed destructive when playing the guitar. The
acting Yong Hwa & the guitar playing
Yong Hwa does look like two completely different people~
PART 2: SIEVED CONVERSATION
Setting off a climax in the sieved conversation, there’s lots of reserved questions besides those which you’ve answered. Let’s us explore slightly into those questions.
Q: Firstly, the memories in the drama, joyful &
difficult events etc..is there any incident that has left a deep impression on
you?
PSH: Rather than citing one event, it’s more appropriate to
say that each and every filming day are precious memories to me. Acting with
many same-aged groups of actors/actresses, the studio is always full of
co-operative working atmosphere with the aim of doing the best for the drama.
Every actor/actress is full of enthusiasm, particularly energetic. Regardless
of instrumental, dance or jokes…It’s full of enthusiasm in whatever is poured
in.
Q: Please tell us which are your favourite lines (in the
drama) and the reason for liking it?
PSH: Erm….this ah…I’ve given into much thoughts to
it..Compared to the delicate lines, I’ve deeper impression for the scenes of
the drama. My favourite scene is Lee Shin & Gyu Won seeking shelter together
in front of a café.
Q: Next will be the “Secret” Topic - [The scene that I can’t
resist having feelings for Yong Hwa even though I know it’s only acting]
PSH: This is a rather tough question. Hence, my reply is all
the great scenes of him~~ (Laugh). In
this drama, there’s a lot of singing performance scenes, so Yong Hwa has sang a
lot of songs..Haha~ these performance scenes are rather impressive~
Q: Next is still the “Secret” topic [ Yong Hwa’s secret
which only I know] In the FM, you have mentioned Yong Hwa’s strengths, saying
that he’s polite, well-mannered and charismatic. When do you actually feel all
these in reality?
PSH: Yong Hwa has an innocent/naïve and romantic
personality. He’s totally engrossed and will focus fully in the things that
he’s interested in. This is the charm of Yong Hwa, portraying his true
character of diligence and full of enthusiasm. Also, a simple praise for Yong
Hwa can make him jump with joy (high spirit)~ (laugh) I guess you will
understand all these when you watch the making (of Heartstrings)
Q: [To be truthful, my ideal type of guy is someone not of
the character - Lee Shin?] Shin Hye has mentioned before that you prefer Jun
Hee rather than Lee Shin. So, in which part of the drama do you feel Jun Hee’s
charisma?
PSH: When Jun Hee is drinking yakult/yogurt alone, calling
Hee Joo onni, getting close to Hee Joo etc…there are too many scenes that
describe Jun Hee’s cute characteristic. I can really feel his charisma whenever
I saw all those scenes.
Q: During the FM [ Yong Hwa said that always perspiring
during filming due to the hot weather has left a deep impression on him] So,
besides the hot weather, which other scenes or events do you feel is challenging
while filming?
PSH: There were too many rainy days while filming, hence, a
lot of scenes are forced to change to indoor locations when it should be
outdoors. This is the let-down part while shooting due to constraints of tight
schedule and nasty weather. The desired
results of shooting should have been under the clear blue sky of summer. It is
much regrettable that many parts were changed to indoor shooting.
PART 3: SCENES THAT FANS LIKED
Q: The favourite scenes chosen by fans are all
exquisite, what do you think? Is it what you have chosen too?
1st: Lee Shin making a shooting star wishes at MT
2nd: Kissing at Catharsis
3rd: Back-hugged in school
PSH: All the scenes chosen by fans are so romantic~ There’s
a feeling of shyness while shooting many of those chosen scenes~ (Laugh)
Q: Which is Shin Hye’s favourite scene in the drama?
Q: Why do you like this scene?
PSH: Because I feel that this scene is displaying Shin’s
& Gyu won’s hearts being interlinked, and has a tacit gesture of mutual
belonging. Even though there’s neither
speech nor expression showing it, but there’s a feeling of the two drawing
closer to each other through this act.
Q: Is there any lines that you feel is embarrassing even
though you know that it’s just acting?
PSH: Erm….I’ve given much thoughts to this…but there’s
really no such lines~
Q: Among all the fictional characters, who matches Shin
Hye’s personality the most?
PSH: To think…It’s still Gyu Won~
Q: Why is it that Gyu Won is closest to your personality?
PSH: Not only Gyu Won. Till date, all the characters acted
by me, more or less has some similar traits of me. If it’s a role which I have
no confidence in, the level of difficulty to act well will increase. Therefore,
I feel that you will see some of my traits in all the characters which I have
acted in so far.
Q: If we were to say the similarity between you and Gyu Won,
what will it be?
PSH: Cheerfulness, and energetic part?
PART 4: RE-ENACT ROUNDS
Q: During the re-enact on the part of [Holding hands to
school after confirming each other’s feelings] scene, the participating fans
have included their own ab-libs, which ab-libs (by fans) does Shin Hye like
most?
PSH: The ab-libs by everyone are fantastic. There’s one who
said in a very low voice “ I can’t do so?”… this has left a deep impression~
PART 5: AFTER THE END OF FANS MEETING
Q: This FM has ended smoothly & successfully, how do you
feel?
PSH: Really had a great time having all the fun~ being able
to enjoy such memorable moments with so many friends. It’s really an event full
of gratitude and bliss.
Q: Please say something to Emcee Furuya who has been
“heating up” the FM, and having good rapport with both of you during the FM~
PSH: Thanks to Mr Emcee Furuya that we’re able to enjoy this
joyous moment. Thank you~! Looking forward to collaborating again!
Q: Looking back at [Heartstrings], what does it represents
to you?
PSH: It’s a meaningful piece of work which I have the
greatest sense of responsibility as an actress till date
Q: This drama is also broadcasting in Japan now, how’s your
feeling?
PSH: It’s like a dream when YAB was being broadcasted here,
now that Heartstrings is also broadcasted, there are lots of happiness and
blissful feel, it’s particularly ecstatic~
Q: Lastly, please say something to your fans
PSH: Please give me lots of love from now on~ In order to
present myself beautifully as an actress in any occasion & in front of
everyone.. I will work even harder~ Thank you!
