The film compensation of an episode of 30,000,000won is the best treatment for a singer-actor. Eric says, ‘Leaving the compensation aside, if you have an excellent script that is well-liked and accepted by everyone, as an actor, you will take it up even if you are not going to be paid. But having accumulated some experience, the compensation went up unknowingly. Everyday I tell myself, ‘Don’t be proud, be confident,’ compared to the time when I was newbie, instead of only doing my best, I must now do everything well.’
‘After this project, I’m going into the army… hopefully I will meet someone after that.’
To take some interview shots, Eric changed into Chil Woo’s costume. Worrying about Eric’s city image not going well with the traditional costume was only the reporter’s wishful thinking. Instead, the costume complements his distinct features. ‘The material seems to be more comfortable than the modern clothes. I don’t need to stick any fake moustache since I have my own, the hair is fake and I don’t need to go to the salon to do my hair, neither do I need to change several sets of clothes unlike shows set in the modern times.’ He is also satisfied with Chil Woo’s assassin costume. ‘Not long ago filming was at the village and we had a lot of time, I wore that costume to the PC room. When I visited Andy at ‘We’re Married’ set, everyone gave me weird stares. This costume is convenient, I don’t want to change out of it.’
Still not very confident of his first attempt in this drama. ‘I have experience in modern dramas; I just imagine myself in those scenarios and then act it out. But for period drama I have zero experience, I have to express and create a new character.’
Playing So Yoon, Chil Woo’s only love, is Goo Hye Sun who has taken on 3 period dramas before, and is an experienced actress. When asked if Hye Sun lends a helping hand, Eric cheekily replies, ‘she helps a lot, it’s really good.’ (Laughs) ‘Although this is the first time we are working together and we’re not very familiar with each other, when I’m with the quiet Hye Sun, the passionate Lee Eon and the rest, it’s very interesting and harmonious.’
The last project before enlistment, and we can see profound love in this drama. ‘I want to complete this project fast. I want to leave this last project as the best farewell present for everyone who has showered me with care and concern during this period of time.’
Having no girlfriend at the moment, would he feel lonely now that he is enlisting? Eric replies, ‘If I have a girlfriend, she’ll have to wait, and I’ll feel bad about it, and so being alone makes me feel more relaxed instead. I have my parents and members for now… and when I come back I hope to meet someone nice.’ ‘Right now I just want to bring laughter and joy to the audience of ‘Strongest Chil Woo’. Hopefully this will be remembered as a good work for a very long time. And for this, I will do everything to the best I can.’
Eric enriches himself by completing ‘Strongest Chil Woo’ in the first half of 2008 before his enlistment, and in the following 2 years he will improve as ‘Strongest Eric’ through his sheer determination in the army.
