[TRANS] JYJ’s Yoochun, What Is His Charm In “Miss Ripley”?

According to Culture Publishers, the “Miss Ripley ”will be available for rent on 25 January, and on sale 3 February. Lead actor Yoochun won the “Male Best Newcomer award in a Mini-Series” at last year’s “MBC Drama Awards”!


A story whose theme is about “lies,” “Miss Ripley” is tumultuous, mature love story. In preparation of the release of this “No Cut” Complete DVD, as the fans’ anticipation continue to rise, Culture Publishers introduces the lead character who is not only active as a singer, the “Charm of Actor Yoochun” in “Miss Ripley.”


★1★Yoochun’s “Crescent Moon Smile”


In the drama, Yoochun plays a gentle and extremely charismatic youth, the heir to an international resorts group, Song Yoohyun. In the Korean broadcast last June, he showed a 100% passion for the role, with a gentle “crescent moon smile,” and Yoochun’s acting was top-notch, becoming a hot topic among the viewers.


Also, when there were NGs, we wonder if Yoochun had been using every single facial muscle to control his laughter, as he would start laughing, leading to an explosion of laughter on set. People at the shoot said that at the shooting location, it was thanks to the maknae Yoochun and his friendly and blissful “cute” expressions that created a harmonious atmosphere on the set of “Miss Ripley.”

★2★ Yoochun is trilingual! Speaks fluently in three languages

As his character Yoohyun has a Japanese mother, he grew up in Japan, and is a chaebol who is fluent in Japanese, and Yoochun displayed his fluent Japanese right from the first episode. (The airport scene in the first episode.) Following that, in the second episode at Yoohyun’s director appointment ceremony, he does a speech in fluent English, displaying his “quiet charisma” as a new type of chaebol.

Yoochun not only possesses the ability to speak fluent Japanese which was honed during his years of activity in Japan as a singer, but had migrated to America in elementary grade 6 due to his father’s work commitments, and stayed till the second year of high school, enabling him to speak English well. He is utilizes his trilingual skill, and effectively acts out the role of this gentle yet quietly charismatic chaebol, Song Yoohyun.

★3★ “Praises” for his emotional crying scene

In the fifth episode, his acting in the crying scene as he recalls memories of his late mother also received great praise when it was aired in Korea. Yoochun’s character Yoohyun has a great longing for his mother, who passed away when he was still a young child.

The staff said that Yoohyun, who holds a bouquet of flowers as he visits his mother’s grave, recalls some fond memories of his time with his mother as a child, and is so involved in his emotions that he cries in the scene. Yoochun first got into the emotion of the character, and did not even make a single NG, and in that moment showed very emotional acting as he cried for the scene.

★4★ In the second half where Miri’s secrets are exposed, the sudden change in Yoohyun

Yoohyun is completely different from the first half where he was the hopeless romantic blindly in love with Miri, and as he sees the true face of Miri, Yoohyun’s expressions, and character makes a sudden turn. His eyes show a deeper meaning, and a dark, unreadable expression brings to the viewers a tense feeling without saying a word.

The drama’s online messageboard was filled with comments such as “It seems like he is trying so hard to suppress his feelings, and could explode at any moment, it’s a little scary,” “It’s especially scary because he is hiding his emotions and calming searching (for answers),” “Song Yoohyun, his eyes, his acting from within is so good it gives me the chills” and other messages.
