[NEWS] 120814 Kim Eungsoo, “Kim Jaejoong has the eyes of an actor. It’s showed even on stage” (Interview)

Posted by on Aug 13, 2012 in News, Time Slip Dr. Jin | 9 Comments

“Kim Jaejoong has the eyes of an actor. I can see it with my eyes.”

What is the idol-turned-actor Kim Jaejoong in the eyes of a big senior like Kim Eungsoo? In a recent interview with Newsen, Kim Eungsoo revealed, “Actually, I thought that Kim Jaejoong would only be active in singing. Strange to say, before Dr. Jin, I had never seen him act.”

“I knew about Kim Jaejoong from before. My daughters were watching TV and Kim Jaejoong who was standing on stage caught my eyes. I saw him through the eyes of an actor but his gaze was still noticeable to me. I asked, “Who is he? How old is he? He’s the most eye-catching.” And my daughters were shocked. There are many things in Kim Jaejoong’s eyes, just like James Dean. There is sorrow and also defiance. You can see it even when he sings or dances.”

Kim Eungsoo always smiled and gave compliments when talking about Kim Jaejoong. He recognized Kim Jaejoong as an actor and think about him like his real son. Kim Eungsoo said, “Actually, I think he didn’t have that’s eyes at the beginning of the drama. I wondered why and I think that time, he couldn’t get his character clearly. It was the same for me too. And then, little by little, those eyes were showed. I kept watch him at the filming set and I think he’s a lot like me.”

“Kim Jaejoong was calm and didn’t panic. If he has his own thoughts, he will just go on with those thoughts. In fact, how nervous it would have been to work with the seniors? And he even had to confront me all the time. Even so, he was calm and imperturbable. Kim Jaejoong said that he would try to act well and kept that composure till the end.”

Kim Eungsoo was satisfied with Kim Jaejoong’s acting. Although he’s not the kind of senior who evaluate other people’s acting or teach someone about acting, he kept praising Kim Jaejoong’s sincerity. Kim Eungsoo explained, “He’s a poised child. How couldn’t Kim Jaejoong who used to play on stage be anxious about taking a long-term acting? However, I was surprised at his calmness.”

Kim Jaejoong might not know this but whenever I arrived at the filming set, I saw him. No matter what happened, he was always calm. I have never seen him gossip or act up at the filming set. Especially, he has never joked around with same-age staffs in front of the seniors. 1500 fans were at the set but he could still coolly film in front of them. The fans didn’t interfere the filming at all.”

As expected, Kim Jaejoong’s respect for Kim Eungsoo is great. He presented to Kim Eungsoo a smart phone. Looking at the smart phone Kim Jaejoong gave him, Kim Eungsoo said, “It’s really good to use. Seeing me carry that cell phone around, my manager who doesn’t say more than 10 words within a year giggled and asked me, ‘Do you know how to use it?’. I actually didn’t know at all. Jaejoong-ie installed all the apps for me. He taught me every time we went to the set so I learned about a half of it.”
