The Perfection that Makes One Gasp……
Love ♥ Siwon
From SUPER JUNIOR

The Super Junior member that is active not just in Korea, but also through activities in Asia. With twitter follows exceeding 1.5 million, NO.1 popularity in Korea, Choi Siwon who is also active as an actor makes his first appearance on JJ Magazine! Together, let’s reveal his secrets that are full of charms.

Q: Between Siwon and the character you are acting as in this drama, Jin Shan Yu, what are some of the similarities and differences?
A: Shan Yu is really an enthusiastic person. Never shifting his attention, he always looks directly ahead. In this aspect, we are very similar. However, sometimes because Shan Yu is overly enthusiastic, he inevitably does something reckless. As for me, whatever it is, I always think before I act. Nevertheless, I am more calm (laughs).

Q: Shan Yu bears the danger of having to lose someone important, and persists in investigating the events. If it was Siwon, what would you do?
A: I would be like Shan Yu in the drama. Even though there is danger, if the root of all evil is not destroyed, the tragedies will only repeat themselves….. Persist and move on!

Q: There are many parts in an action movie, are there any that you remember the most?
A: Because there were many large scale scenes, getting small injuries is common. However, because the schedule doesn’t allow it, even if we are hurt, we cannot rest. It’s not just me, the staff and everyone else on site also persist in filming even if they are hurt. Thanks to these efforts, the scenes of the drama become more interesting, when everyone watches it, they will definitely like it!

Q: Between Super Junior’s activities, and activities as an actor, what is the difference between the two?
A: With the members, whatever it is, we will help each other, becoming each other’s backing. By myself, I would be hit with a sense of mission, pressure, and responsibility. Regardless of whether there are mistakes or trouble, you have to take care of it yourself. Hence, I was able to feel the importance of the members even more.

Q: Right now, are there any kinds of works you wish to challenge?
A: Regardless of whether it is Athena or Poisedon, both have topics that are slightly serious, hence in future I would like to challenge a more humorous script. A happy (drama), that can make the mood of everyone watching it become better, is (the kind of) drama that I would like to try the most!
