Park Yoochun has had some lovely leading ladies. He romanced Yoo Eun Hye in the melodrama "Missing You," Park Min Young in the historical drama "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" and Han Ji Min in the fusion drama "Rooftop Prince." He teamed up with Park Ha Sun in "Three Days," after she said he was the actor she most wanted to work with.
Recently at his press conference for his first film "Sea Fog," he was asked which actress he wanted to work with in the future. It had to be an actress who is currently in a drama.
He named Jung Yu Mi, who stars in "Discovery of Love" with Eric Moon and Sung Joon. In "Discovery of Love" she plays a woman who is torn between her current fiancé and her ex-boyfriend. She can neither break up with her boyfriend nor forget her ex.
Park Yoochun said he wanted to act with her because of her innocent image even though her character in "Discovery of Love" might not be described that way.
"I like her innocent image," he said. "It's very pretty."
A few days later at the Busan International Film Festival, Park was asked which male acting idol he saw as a serious rival. He did not mention his fellow JYJ member Kim Jaejoong who recently won an acting award for his role in the melodrama "Triangle." Instead, he mentioned Kim Jaejoong's co-star in the drama Im Si Wan, who is a member of the band ZE:A.
"There have been many lately, so I've been watching a lot of dramas from time to time," said Park. "The one who appeared in 'The Attorney'? Im Si Wan-I didn't know he was a singer. I thought he was originally an actor."
That's a compliment because some idols are popular but take a while to hone their acting skills when they make the transition. Im Si Wan, who played Kim Jae Joong's brother in the drama, seemed like a polished actor from the start.
"I had thought of him as an actor without knowing that he was a singer, but Jaejoong told me that he is also a singer."
Im Si Wan was grateful for the praise and said it gave him strength.
Park Yoochun, Jung Yu Mi and Im Si Wan might make an interesting love triangle. Casting directors take note. Is there anyone else you would like to see Park Yoochun act with? Let us know.
