Kim arrived to shoot a TV commercial with Kapamilya actress Maja Salvador, who will celebrate her birthday on October 5. The two stars of the RC Cola ad met with the press yesterday, October 3, at the ELJ Building in Quezon City.
According to insiders, the 20-year-old actor was very impressed with his fellow endorser and even compared her to Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. In the presscon, Kim confirmed this through his interpreter.
"Yes, that is what I said. I even told her, you look like Catherine Zeta-Jones. That is what he thought from the very beginning and aside from that, she has a lot more charm in her and beauty."
During the presscon, the Boys Over Flowers star was asked to pick a flower that would describe the beauty of the Filipina actress. After thinking it over, he answered, "Way too beautiful just to describe it as a flower. [She is] beyond the beauty of a flower."
Through the female interpreter, he then narrated some details about their taping for the commercial. "It was a really hectic and tight schedule and her [Maja's] call time was at 5 a.m. She stayed there for about 24 hours and she never frowned... she keeps smiling and keep everyone so happy. She was so energized. I love this girl!"
GUWAPO AND MAGANDA. Maja recalled how Kim lifted up her spirits when they were shooting scenes in the wee hours of the morning. "Nakakatuwa siya kasi lagi siyang nagtatanong sa akin, nung last day ng shoot namin, tinanong niya ako, 'Are you tired?' Sabi ko, 'Yes,' kasi nga 5 a.m. pa yung call time ko. Sabi niya, 'But you're still maganda.'" (It's flattering because he would alwas ask me if I was exhausted. I told him that I was because I have been at the set since 5 am and he said "But you still look beautiful")
Then the Kapamilya star turned to Kim and asked him directly, "Am I maganda?" (Am I beautiful?)
"Always maganda," said Kim with a smile .(Always beautiful.)
Maja then returned the compliment by saying, "Siyempre, guwapo. You know what's guwapo, right?" *You're gwapo/handsome. You know what''s guwapo, right?)
The Boys Over Flowers actor smiled broadly and bowed before saying, "Salamat." (Thank You)
What does Maja like about her fellow endorser? "Sobrang like ko kapag nag-i-smile siya. One smile please." To this request, Kim gamely obliged.
Is he open to working again with Maja in the future?
"He'll be very honored if he gets that opportunity," said the female interpreter. "And he'll be very excited coz he had a great, blessed time while doing the shooting. Although it's not only work; he's willing to come back and experience more of the Philippines."
Before ending the interview, Kim said that he would love to know more about Filipinos and the Philippines. In fact, his translator pointed out, "He's really in love with the Philippines. He just arrived here and he was stuck in a hotel and more than 12 hours of shooting [for the TVC]. But he was touched by the people. In no time, he will be coming back whether for work or for a personal visit, I will definitely be coming back."
He also entertained the press with the Tagalog words that he learned during his stay here. Kim enumerated, "Payong, salamat po, palakpak [motions clapping hands]." (payong=umbrella, salamat po=polite way of saying thank you, palakpak=clap)
Kim mentioned that he is single right now. What are the qualities that he is looking for in a girl? "They should share a lot in common but he sees more of the soul."

Date: 2009-10-04 08:12 pm (UTC)It might be different elsewhere, but in the U.S, soft-drink sales are like 40% Pepsi, 50% Coca-Cola (I'm just estimating :/) and... 10% other, which RC Cola might make 1% of, maybe. XD
Kind of like how Geng was all decked out in Coca-Cola wear for the Beijing Olympics, and then turns around and wears a ton of Pepsi products when Super Junior M is advertising Pepsi.
