[TRANS] 100729 ‘Hallyu Idol Challenge' – Yoochun vs. Hyun Joong

(IMAGE: https://2img.net/h/oi32.tinypic.com/16hokfn.jpg)

Moving from the stage to television dramas, SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong and
DBSK’s Yoochun are now competing in a “Hallyu Idol Challenge”, where
their self-pride is the reward for the ultimate champion.

SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong will once again be displaying his acting skills
in MBC’s Mizuki drama [It Started With A Kiss] (broadcast begins 1
September) while DBSK’s Yoochun will transform into an actor in KBS’s
television drama [SungKyunKwan Scandal] (broadcast begins 30 August),
which will be screened every Monday and Tuesday. Both Hyun Joong and
Yoochun, who are currently going through a tough time in terms of issues
with their management companies and with their group, have caught the
attention of the masses by marking their new start with acting. So far,
Kim Hyun Joong and Yoochun have been competitors in the area of music.
Hyun Joong proved his acting abilities in his perfect portrayal of
senior Yoon Ji Hoo in [Boys Over Flowers]. Despite that, he was
criticized for his lack of expression and pronunciation, and these will
be the main obstacles he needs to overcome in the upcoming drama. Even
though the current character is a 180-degree change from the one played
in [Boys Over Flowers], Hyun Joong still hopes to play the character
perfectly. In [Boys Over Flowers], senior Yoon Ji Hoo was often
described as gentle, but the character in [It Started With A Kiss] is
one who is cold-blooded and nonchalant towards all things.

After having seen both Taiwan’s and Japan’s versions of the drama, Kim
Hyun Joong is now feeling the pressure of having to play out a character
that is completely different (from his previous role). Yoochun, who is
involved in the drama [SungKyunKwan Scandal], is also starting out his
path as an actor with a lot of pressure. Even though he has been
recognized for his abilities in the area of music, Yoochun is still
considered a newbie in the area of television dramas. Yoochun is
extremely gentle as an actor, a complete opposite from the strong
disposition he carries when he is in DBSK. In [SungKyunKwan Scandal],
Yoochun plays the lead role of a man who is perfect in everything and
lacks in nothing.

Amongst the fans of television dramas that are based on original novels,
a heated discussion has opened up around two mains points about
Yoochun’s character – “Best Role” and “Similarity of The Character
Played by Yoochun and Yoochun’s Personal Character”. In order to play
the role out better, Yoochun, who is challenging acting for the first
time, donned on the ancient costume required for the drama and
cheerfully attended the press conference. Both colleagues and
competitors at the same time, the television drama duel between both Kim
Hyun Joong’s and Yoochun’s acting skills will definitely be something
to anticipate and look forward to.
