[TRANS] 141201 "International Market" Director Yoon Je Kyun, "Nam Jin Role's U-Know Yunho, A Casting which is Irreplaceable"


Film "International Market"'s director Yoon Je Kyun has revealed his satisfaction on the casting of Jung Yunho (U-Know Yunho, TVXQ).

In the interview with OSEN on 1 December, while smiling, Director Yoon Je Kyun commented on Jung Yunho, who had been attracting attention, "I was so (extremely) satisfied".

Director Yoon started by saying, "I agonized a lot over the casting of the actor for the role of Nam Jin. This is because Teacher Nam Jin is the legend of Jeolla-do."

He continued, "The criteria / standard for the casting was, all things considered, first and foremost that it would be great if it was a singer, and I thought that it would be great if it were someone who is able to perfect the Jeolla-do dialect. A list of famous singers came to me, and the most number of people said that Jung Yunho was the best."

In addition, he did not scrimp on his compliments (for Yunho), "Therefore, I met with him first, and compared to anything else, him as a person was really great. While conversing with him, I ended up knowing the person Jung Yunho and liking him within the span of 30 minutes - 1 hour. Because he is an idol so it was not as if I had no prejudice about that, but he was 180 degrees different from what I had expected / thought. In addition, he spoke about his own father, and while speaking about Teacher Nam Jin, he showed his respect and passion as someone originating from Gwangju, Jeolla-do, and it was really great."

He added with his comments on the casting process which was carried out with lightning speed after liking Jung Yunho, "With his respect towards Teacher Nam Jin, that passion that he is able to do well if he acts out the role was great. He (Yunho) was a friend who fitted all the conditions I had in mind perfectly. There were also other candidates (for the role), but after meeting with Jung Yunho, I cancelled all the other candidates."

Further, on Jung Yunho, he once again conveyed his "special praise", "He is really kind-hearted, and as a person, although he is a young friend, to put it in one phrase, he was upright. When acting, he also put in all his passion. Even if I had "okayed" (the scene), he would ask, "Can't I do it once more?" The senior actors were all present, so it is not easy to be like that. He was really surprising. To put it in one phrase, he was really great."
