100627 Yunho’s Drama DVD Release Event Attracts 10,000 Fans
читатьAt 1pm on 26 June, Tohoshinki Member Yunho attended an event for the drama he starred in, “Yunho in No Limit ~Heading to the Ground~ Premium Event 2010” at Tokyo International Forum Hall A.
This event commemorates the release of the “No Limit ~Heading to the Ground~” DVD BOX release, and was exclusive only to those who had purchased the DVD Box. His co-star Ara also attended the event as a special guest.
The last time Yunho had appeared in front of the fans before the group went paused all activities was at the NHK Kouhaku Utagassen, so the 5000 fans who attended the event were very passionate. “I went to America to be part of Michael Jackson’s posthumous concert “THIS IS IT ” and this was what I was working hard on,” he said to the fans, smiling and showing his “healthy” appeal.
When the host asked Yunho to show his moonwalk, he said “But you didn’t make an appointment for this.. (laughs)” and showed his moonwalk nervously, causing laughter all around the hall.
During the talk, Yunho and Ara’s behind-the-scenes clips were shown for the first time. Recalling those times, Yunho naturally used his fluent Japanese to talk about it, but Ara too used quite a bit of Japanese. When the host asked about how she managed to speak so well, she revealed, “When Yunho and I talk on the phone, we use Japanese to communicate.” To that, Yunho said, “She’s just making use of me to improve her Japanese.(Laughs) I’m kidding. (Laughs)” answering jokingly in Japanese.
Talking about the 10 best scenes from the drama, Yunho recalled the scene where he had to fall into the Han River “I drank a lot of water, it was really scary. I thought of stopping in the middle of the scene, but that would mean that I would have to do it all over again, and drink even more water, so I just persisted through the scene.” He revealed that it was so agonizing that he eventually fainted for a while.
The best scene that was chose was from the Episode 16, the scene with the “Overhead kick.” He said, “I did the scene about 20 times. But because Ara and the others were chatting nearby, I felt like I needed to look good, so it was a problem.(Laughs) Thanks to them, the scene was taken in a relaxing mood, and I think it turned out cool” showing confidence.
When asked if he actually played soccer in real life, he answered, “When I was young, I played it because I was interested. However, I was not a Forward, but a Goalkeeper. (Laughs)”
Talking about soccer, we are now in the midst of the world cup season. “Bong Goon, the character I play, is a fan of Korean National Player Park Ji-Sung, and in reality, I am a fan of his too. For Japanese players, I was a fan of Hidetoshi Nakata. But now, it’s Keisuke Honda. He was decisive in the Denmark game, and his free-kick looked brilliant.” He said, showing his extensive soccer knowledge.
Finally, facing the fans, he recalled fondly, “When I first started playing the role of Bong Goon, I was very aware. But as the shooting went on, I think Bong Goon became part of me. In the process of filming, I felt like I had grown a lot, and the directors and staff were like family, watching over me. This was the kind of atmosphere we had.”
Furthermore, “It’s been a long time since I could meet everyone, so I was very happy today. I hope that I can challenge new things in the future and show you a cool side of myself, so please take care of me! I look forward to seeing you again. ” he said, causing the fans to start standing as they cheered and clapped.
The same event will be this Sunday evening for a second time, with a total turnout estimated at 10,000 people. Moreover, on 4 July, at Kobe International House (Kokusai Hall) there will be 2 more performances, with 4000 people expected to attend. With his upcoming works such as his starring role in the Korean Musical “Goong,” we are looking forward to seeing new charm from Yunho.
Drama “No Limit ~Heading to the Ground~” features Jung Yunho in his debut starring role. It was aired in Korea last year and is playing in Japan on KNTV now. This drama is released in DVD BOX I and II, and has sold 14,142 copes and 14,014 copies respectively, taking the top 2 spots in the ORICON Drama category. Taking the 2rd and 3rd positions in the overall rankings as well, this is a testament to Yunho’s popularity.

Fanaccount of HTTG Fanmeet from Withyoonho~
читатьI went to the event today. I went to the first one. It’s been a while since Yunho oppa made an appearance in Japan!!! It’s going around that the airport exploded yesterday because of Yunho oppa who was going to do the event the next day after a long time. However, the event today was completely packed too. The international forum is a gigantic hall but there was no empty seats. The event started about when it was supposed to. The stage was decorated with a soccer goalpost and a bench. (When it started) It became dark and light illuminated and oppa read his letter from behind the stage. As for the information (of the letter), My membory is not clear but it was something like, even though it was hard because it was hot and cold when he played the role of Bong Goon, with strength, he filmed it. It was a long information talking about things after parting from Bong Goon. However, when he was reading, his voice was so very lovely and sincere, I felt very touched and the people in the event cried a lot too. I was also very sad. Because all the people around me were crying a lot. Listening to him read the letter, I felt he really went through a lot of hardships to show us a wonderful Bong Goon. Listening to him say he was burdened and worried with his first acting challenge, my heart… Don’t worry anymore now oppa!! Everything will be fine…!! After that, to have oppa continue to smile and to make the atmosphere nice, the event people had lots of fun stories and it was a really good time. The master of ceremonies (hostess) came at 9:30 a.m. and she thought she would be the first one to be there but oppa was already there…his professionalism was touching. And then they started talking about the best 3 scenes from the drama that oppa picked. Particulary, #2, the scene where he fell into Hangang (river), he did the narration speech but he said even he was sad at just thinking about it. Oppa was smiling when he talked about even swallowing water but when I think of that speech, my heart just aches again. That speech really…. #1 was the overhead kick scene. It was so cold that day and I remember it as an open shoot (fiiming), is that right? He had to do it about 20 times filming for that overhead kick scene. That’s why when I saw the making film, oppa was continually holding different people. Because he was cold. It was fun but also a scene which brought tears. Then, talk of soccer came out. Oppa’s response is very wise indeed. ..! Saying Asia was definitely strong, he said he liked player Pak Ji Seung the best. He said he wanted to see the soccer today too so I guess he’s watching it now. I also like the player Pak Ji Seung that oppa likes!! And among the Japanese players, he thought player Honda is good. His free kick is great. He (Yunho) can’t kick like that but he thought Bong Goon could kick really well like that making the whole audience laugh. He played soccer before as a hobby but he hasn’t played in a club. When he played as a hobby, he was a goalkeeper but Bong Goon was a forward…His eyes were open wide as he was explaining the positions (can imagine how excited he must have gotten talking about soccer). Also, there was a part where he said he couldn’t forget about Bong Goon because there were too many similarities with Bong Goon. When they followed him to film for the Japanese DVD comment, there was a hidden video to test if he really remembered Bong Goon even though some time passed after it was televised in Korea. At first, he was given a soccer ball during the interview, of course he did the interview without knowing, knowing it was related to Bong Goon after all. After that, they said when you think of Bong Goon, you can’t forget chicken so they left chicken in the dressing room. He didn’t mention Bong Goon but he said he really liked this marinated chicken personally and so he ate it deliciously. (just made me burst out laughing thinking of the staff waiting to see if he would mention BG but instead gobbling down the chicken saying how much he liked chicken) That crunching crunchy sound was enough to give me some shivers. There was no mention of Bong Goon with that chicken too so this time they put oh gam ja (potato) cookies in the dressing room. As soon as he saw those cookies and that oh gam ja~ he actually said oh gam ja~ with that pronunciation as soon as he saw it. It was so cute. Later, he explained that he was the one who came up with the oh gam ja idea. He said at first he tried different ways (to say it) like oh~gam ja, oh gam~ja, oh gam ja~ oh gam~ja~ before he picked that oh gam~ja~. It was cute. He’s cute. In addition, he also said that he won’t be able to forget about Bong Goon because Bong Goon was his first role and there are lots of similarities and there were lots of hardships while filming. The order I wrote might be mixed up but I shared the stories that was talked about. At the end, he drew from the people to receive his signature but he looked so very sorry because he kept picking people from the first floor. Among the 20 people he picked, only 2 were from the second floor…he was continually >_< like this. Oppa was so handsome today. I couldn’t see the second event but it was a great time since I haven’t seen him in a while. It was touching and fun. Oppa, please come to Japan often in the future too!
(from various fanaccounts, seems lots of fans cried at the beginning..can totally relate to how they must have felt)

100628 Yunho’s Letter to Fans in HTTG Fan Meeting
читатьSmiley’s note:
T/N: Yunho read this letter to the fans in the first part of the fan meeting (on June 26), all in Japanese. A fan took the notes, so she is stating that this may not be 100% correct. But I myself have heard Yunho’s message in the same fan meeting, and find it just about the same as what I’ve heard.
I am happy that I can stand in front of all of you.
The offer for this drama came in the first days of last year.
At first, I was worried whether or not I can measure up to your expectations.
But all of your beliefs and long looks, for me making new challenges, have given me power.
I was conscious to be Bong Gun and act like him, so that I can get into the character.
When the shooting started, it was a very tough shot.
During the filming of the river, I drank so much water that it was painful, and it was also very cold.
I was able to see the surroundings by discussing and arguing together with the staffs, I could not have achieved just only with my own power.
How did you all feel, watching Bong Gun?
Since it was my first challenge, I am not 100% satisfied.
But through the role of Bong Gun, I think I was able to grow up.
As Bong Gun and Yunho, I have done my best, so I have no regrets.
Not only as an artist and actor, I would like to extend my activities so that I would be able to meet all of you many times.
I may be through many trials and tribulations in the future, and I may sometimes become depressed.
But, through this drama “Heading To The Ground”, and taking the advantage of my experiences, I would do my best, with strong and positive feelings.
The current Yunho is because of all of your supports.
Even during sad, happy, or difficult days, I think I will be able to do my best even more, thinking about all of your supports.
I am very grateful.
Please continue to support me in the future.
