JYJ Kim Jaejoong’s acting in Code Name: Jackal garners acclaim
Utilizing the big screen project Code Name: Jackal, JYJ member Kim Jaejoong has successfully advanced into the film industry. Code Name: Jackal has been released since November 15 and despite facing many stiff competition, its box office is still hot. Jaejoong’s portrayal of flower boy superstar Choi Hyun received great recognition and love from the moviegoers.
In the film, Kim Jaejoong had perfectly taken on the role of a narcissistic and handsome superstar. Compared to his previous roles, Kim Jaejoong is more at ease shaping/crafting the character Choi Hyun, thus adding liveliness throughout the movie. Additionally, in the film he discarded his “glorious” image, revealing his talent and potential as an actor.
As a newbie in film and television, he has already tried out various genres such as youthful romantic drama, historical drama, comedy film etc., and is continuously exploring his own performance style. Originally an idol singer, Kim Jaejoong’s handsome appearance as well as his undeniable potential as an actor has the audiences greatly anticipating his future projects.
Code Name: Jackal tells the story of Bong Min Jeong (played by Song JiHyo), a killer whose code name is “Jackal” and the hilarity that ensues after she kidnaps superstar Choi Hyun.

Kim Jaejoong: “I want to be on «Running Man»”
Due to the fact that JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong is starring in «Code Name: Jackal» with Song JiHyo, recently there have been many hoping that he could appear on «Running Man», including Jaejoong himself.
Jaejoong recently expressed in an interview: “Most actors, after their movies are released, can go on entertainment/variety programs to promote. I hope that if given the opportunity, I could appear on «Running Man» with JiHyo noona. When I see the other actors working hard to promote the movie, even doing my portion, I feel very sorry and wish I could do better,” conveying his regret in not being able to appear on broadcasts.
The lawsuit between the three members of JYJ and SM Entertainment remains unresolved and as a result, JYJ are unable to go on major television music programs and variety shows.
Koala (T/N: Reporter’s name): I really want to see JYJ on television, especially on «Running Man». I have a feeling they would have great onscreen chemistry with JiHyo!

Song Joong Ki About Jaejoong

He also express his gratitude towards Jae, “Compared to his own drama and movie, he seems to have promoted a lot of mine. Occasionally, he even tweeted on his twitter. I’m very grateful to him.“

Kim Jaejoong: “Overcoming appearance complex with acting”
*Appearance complex: Jaejoong is not happy with his looks because people only look at his appearance and think that he has no talent.
It’s necessary now to add one more title to ‘Hallyu idol star’ – ‘movie actor’. JYJ Kim Jaejoong is full-fledgedly targeting domestic big screens.
After [almost] 10 years since debut, people only recall his ‘flower boy’ image. The audience of the movie might be a little surprised to see his ‘spoilt’ image.
I met Kim Jaejoong in a cafeteria in Jongno-gu, Seoul. He said ‘Hello’ first to me, which made me impressed. Unlike his cold looking appearance, he has the delicate charm of a native Korean youth of 26 years.
“Many people said that they didn’t expect that ‘spoilt’ image of mine. It was great that I was able to express various emotions in dramas. I was also glad that I got to work with Song Jihyo who is in the same company with me. I wanted to take opportunity as a rookie movie actor.”
Throughout the interview, he emphasized that he “doesn’t want to become an actor in one stroke.” He is satisfied to learn even from just one drama/movie. Kim Jaejoong who initially didn’t dream of becoming an actor confessed that he wanted to break free from the preconception of the public.
“At the beginning, I had the opportunity to try acting by chance, which somehow made me feel sorry towards my colleagues. I didn’t want to read the script in front of the members who were preparing to become actors. But now, I think that acting is interesting. I had serious appearance complex when I was younger. I wanted to break the ‘wall’ inside of me through the variety of acting.”
“After debut, even if I was just standing still, a lot of people asked me if I was angry. I also heard many people say ‘I don’t like him. He doesn’t give me good impression’. However if we go abroad, other members envy me the most. Maybe because I look unique, many overseas fans like me more. (Laugh) But I told my members that I envied them more. ‘You guys have a lot of fans and not much anti-fans in the country where we are born.’ I told them. Because of that appearance complex, the desire to use acting to get rid of that shell that I have made myself grew bigger. It’s not the matter of time. I don’t have confidence to do well right away either. I want to do it step by step, little by little.”
I can feel the sincerity in his words. I will celebrate his 10th debut anniversary next year but he said that he needs to constantly control his mind in order to break the preconception and misconception surrounding him.
He first realized his interest toward acting when he was filming Dr. Jin. Filming drama and movie at the same time, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. “Filming movie and drama, one is contemporary, other is historical but I didn’t feel scared.” So I mischievously asked him if he had ‘star disease’ and entered his van right after hearing the ‘cut’ sign. “For me, the filming set was a haven of peace. I preferred the bed at the set than my van. They had made the set like a real motel. When I was sleeping there, I could feel that the staffs were walking very careful so that they wouldn’t wake me. (Laugh) We’re close and comfortable with each other like a family.”
Kim Jaejoong introduced Code name: Jackcal as a movie that “the more you watch, the more you find it attractive”. As it’s his big screen debut, there is still something lacking but he never regrets it. Unlike the singer that can taste the failure often because it’s a profession where it is easy to hit the limit, the actor can find him/herself the chance to learn and grow in every movie/drama. That fact is quite attractive. Kim Jaejoong has quickly realized that charm of acting.
“Aside from music, acting helps me to refreshingly develop myself. It’s a tonic, a stimulant. If people do only one thing over and over again, they might fall into idleness and become haughty. I like the feeling of receiving reprimands and compliments when I do something new. The more I do it (acting), the more I have ambition and motivation to do it more. I hope for support from everyone.”

Jaejoong speaks of his experience filming ‘Code Name Jackal’
Through his roles in dramas such as ‘Protect the Boss‘ and ‘Time Slip Dr. Jin‘, JYJ‘s Jaejoong has proven his competence as a formidable actor. However, he recently revealed in an interview that he wanted to try something different after his more serious roles.
This urge led him to consider ‘Code Name Jackal’ (directed by Bae Hyung Joon), where he would be able to play a more comedic character. “I always want to show something new about myself,” he confessed. “With ‘Code Name Jackal’, I wanted to do that. I’ve always played serious, heavy roles, so I wanted to spread the word that there are other sides of me, too.”
“Through my character [in 'Code Name Jackal'], I wanted to play a more trickster, sarcastic role,” he revealed. “A lot of my personal self is melted into my ‘Jackal’ character.”
Although the film itself is not doing as well as he had hoped – against big names such as ‘Wolf Boy‘ and overseas releases – Jaejoong considered the experience to be worth it. “Personally, the mere fact that I did a film was a great chance and opportunity. Of course we must consider the success of the film, but I feel that the movie was a way for me to show myself. It was a wonderful chance and I gained many things as well. I think that acting for this film gave me strength in life, as well as giving me motivation for music.”
While filming, Jaejoong experienced the true craziness and rush of a film set. “We really filmed like crazy,” he said. “I often dozed in the middle of shooting. If I ate, I would’ve given up on sleep; if I slept, I would’ve given up on eating. In order to combine the two, I ate vitamin supplements.”
Despite his grueling and hectic schedule as an actor and artist, Jaejoong sometimes thinks about a normal life. When asked what he would like to do if he had the chance to be an ordinary citizen, he answered, “Firstly, I want to go to a bustling roadside stand. I’d eat tasty food and have a drink, then get over my hangover the day after. Then I’d go shopping and sightseeing. It’s been 8 years since I’ve visited Dongdaemun [a landmark in Seoul]. I also want to go to the amusement park and go on all the rides I want. I’ve visited a few times due to filming, but I’ve never been on anything.”
However, Jaejoong also recognized the benefits of his celebrity status, especially pointing out his fans that had supported him since his debut. “I’ve had many incidents and fallen on hard times, and every time I’m grateful to my fans,” he said. “Because I was with you, I was able to get over my suffering and pain.”
One particular encounter with a fan is emblazoned into his memory, Jaejoong recounted. “I once told a fan to study hard prior to the exam, and she ended up placing first. There’s also a fan who got into Waseda University in Japan. It was a moment where I realized the importance of my relationship with my fans.”
“For those of you who have yet to watch ‘Code Name Jackal’, I hope you’ll go into it with an easy mindset and ready to laugh. There are a lot of positive traits hidden in our movie. The more you see it, the more film-like it becomes. Thanks for your interest.” he finished.

There are many passionate stars but passionate stars that also have courage are rare. In fact, they are limited by the image they have built. In that sense, the move/decision made by singer-actor Kim Jaejoong is very noteworthy.
◇ Kim Jaejoong’s screen debut, Code name: Jackal
“I was amazed by the fact that my acting was shown on the big screen. I felt burdensome and also had mixed feelings. Everybody all worried about my public image but I didn’t worry at all. Instead, I really looked forward to showing people a side of me that they have never seen before.”
According to actress Song Jihyo, there were many ad-libs in the filming process.
“It’s not that ad-libs happened because I wanted them to. Since the director didn’t make the ‘cut’ sign, I was just acting naturally. (Laugh) Unlocking the phone with my chin, telling Jackal ‘How much I was looking for you’, etc. are my ideas. Rather than the challenge of comedi acting, the fact that I was tied throughout the movie was actually harder for me. There were also some embarrassing scenes, like the scene in the bathroom. Haha. It was very embarrassing.”
Instead of singer or actor Kim Jaejoong, I want to see entertainer Kim Jaejoong more. Kim Jaejoong actually likes variety shows a lot. He also expressed his frustration toward the broadcasting restriction, “I have confidence that I could do very well [on variety shows but I can’t appear].” (SOBS)
◇ Kim Jaejoong’s love and separation, “the sorrow of parting lasts long”
“The problem of stalker, sponsor, etc. is not the story of some certain individuals. It’s one of the the most irritating problems that occur in entertainment industry. Since I work in entertainment industry, I can empathize. The arduous time before becoming a star, the fear of losing popularity, etc.”
Choi Hyun is a romantic star who writes songs for the girl he loves. But on the other hand, he can betray her for his success. Did Kim Jaejoong have such experiences?
“Rather than betrayal, I have broken up with my girlfriend because I reserved time for my dream more than for her. I first met her when I was in 6th year of elementary school. She is my first love and we dated for 4 years and 8 months. I think I have never written a song for a woman but there are songs containing my feelings after parting. Almost all the songs I made are sad songs. For me, the sorrow of parting lasts long. At times like that, many songs come out.”
◇ Kim Jaejoong’s 10th debut anniversary
Next year is already Kim Jaejoong’s 10th debut anniversary. Together with JYJ’s members, he is walking steadily on his path. He smiled and shared his thoughts about turning 30, “I think I’ll still be the same. Maybe there will be something new when I turn 34. I can’t wait till that time.”
“When I go to the places that I visited during in my debut days or when I listen to the music of those days, I’ll think of the past. [In the past] I got a lot of love and also experienced many ups and downs. However, the conclusion is that, I am really happy now. I’m making music and I have new motivation to continue acting. Above all, I’m glad that I didn’t grow a lot older compared to 10 years ago. Haha.”
Although Kim Jaejoong is known as the networker in entertainment world, he’s actually “not the type that likes to meet people.” He feels insecure when he goes to places that have a lot of people. At my surprised expression, he said that it was ‘a symptom that every celebrity has’. Then I asked about the hobby of Kim Jaejoong, of normal life’s Kim Jaejoong, not singer or actor Kim Jaejoong.
“I like yakju (T/N: literally “medicinal alcohol”). My fans usually give my all kinds of liquor in the world as gifts, such as whiskey, cognac, sake, etc. Yesterday I wanted to stay home to write a song. I don’t know if it was because the weather was so nice or because I was stressed that I couldn’t write anything. So I had one shot of cognac and 2 shots of whiskey and then quickly fall asleep. I’m living my life with such fun. Haha. Also, I was a gaming nerd last year but I have given it up this year. Instead, I enjoy hiking and bike-riding along Han river.” (Enabling his drinking I see)

Ok I know, again. But I swear I'm only posting the interresting ones with "new" informations. + Nice pictures :)
He just gives really great interviews.
OT but I learned today that my aunt's ex husband killed himself and it's kind of fucked me up. They were together for 13 yrs and separated 4yrs ago. He was hospitalized for a depression and he did it there.
I would just like for people I know to stop dying, please.

Date: 2012-11-26 01:12 am (UTC)Thank you for this lovely post ♥ I really enjoyed reading the interviews and everything. It's interesting to see how Jaejoong has changed and grown over the years and how being more free these days has affected him. Hopefully he (and Junsu and Yoochun) will get their turn on Running Man and many other shows some day.

What would SM do if they did go on music and variety shows anyway? And how are dramas ok but not the other 2?
no subject
Date: 2012-11-26 05:24 am (UTC)On the other hand, SM doesn't really have a lot of influence on dramaland, coz' c'mon who would they contribute, really, Minho? Changmin? LOL. So basically, they can't practise their power play in that area and the stations have no qualms about allowing JYJ to be in dramas. Anyway, it could be also be because the team working in drama is totally different from the team in music/variety and therefore have no idea/don't care about what's going on between SM-JYJ. But now that SM recently swallowed that actor/actress agency, not sure how things will pan out.

no subject
Date: 2012-11-26 07:15 am (UTC)In answer to your question - the real question is, who has more to lose? Like if you were the TV station, would you be willing to lose Shinee/Suju/SNSD/DBSK etc just for JYJ? I think that SM would just be doing that on the grounds that the PDs are probably not gonna be foolish enough to make that move. And even if the stations do bring in JYJ and SM therefore boycotts them, if the groups are already established enough, I mean, look at Big Bang, they only ever promote on SBS but they remain immensely popular. But yes, the company's less popular groups might be affected.
I wasn't the original OP of that comment (I just paraphrased it from when I read it God knows when) so yea don't know if I'm the best person to answer, but yup just my two cents worth.

Date: 2012-11-26 10:19 pm (UTC)I know it's the case, especially after the broadcasting crew packed up when Junsu went on stage for his event but it's just harder when he says it because someone who sings so beautifully and passionately should never be shunned like that. I feel like Junsu has every right to sue them, but he won't. He and JaeChun probably consider it a step in the right direction. He was probably just so happy to be performing for an open crowd.
no subject
Date: 2012-11-27 12:12 am (UTC)But when he won last year's popularity award from the same award show he actually said that recently they had been boycotted and subjected to unfair treatment and how it that was hard and saddening for him. I never noticed he could be so eloquent since it's the opposite of his "concept".
Pretty ballsy imo!
no subject
Date: 2012-11-28 02:50 am (UTC)Junsu has always been a pretty deep and intense person. The other members mentioned it, but he rarely carries himself onscreen as such. Junho's said he's very on the straight and narrow, that once he's determined, he won't stop till he finishes! It was brave and I'm proud of Junsu for saying it!
Now my friends are telling me the lawsuit is settled. Waiting for confirmation on that, though!

I don't know. And even if they do side with SME, they've already ruled the contract null and void. JYJ would have to pay the "damage fees" or whatever, then there wouldn't really be a valid reason for them not to continue on, defeated in court, but not in spirit? At least that's what I think.
