[TRANS] 150109 Kangin, "Although I have yet to watch 'Gukje Market', I am proud of Jung Yunho"

Kangin, “Although I have yet to watch ‘Gukje Market’, I am proud of Jung Yunho”

Kangin has expressed his affection for Jung Yunho.

In an interview with Newsen, Super Junior member, Kangin, who is announcing his arrival on the big screen as the lead character for the first time in his life through movie “Cat’s Funeral”, mentioned his fellow SM under-one-roof colleague, TVXQ member U-Know Yunho (Jung Yunho), who is also attempting the acting genre like himself.

In the midst of conveying his own thoughts on the so-called “SM curse” that a production will not be able to become a box office success if SM artistes appear in it, Kangin said, “In the past when Yunho appeared in ‘Yawang’, I called him and tried asking him Have you received Yawang’s script? I am really curious about the next episode / story. Can’t you let me know (what will happen next)?’ A production which one person thought was uninteresting can also possibly be seen as interesting to someone else. I don’t know (it is hard to define) the standard / criteria to measure success.”

On this, when we asked him if he had watched ‘Gukje Market’ which Jung Yunho appeared in, he added his sincere thoughts, “Actually, I have not been able to watch it yet. But I have thoughts of having to definitely watch it. (I know that Yunho) made a short appearance in the role of Nam Jin, and I heard that he really did well. Therefore, I am even more curious (about the movie). Just looking at that movie alone, it is really doing well, isn’t it? It is said that it will shortly surpass the 10-million tickets mark. Although it is not a production in which Yunho appears as the lead character,  I am personally proud that (Yunho) took part together in that type of huge film and he completed his part well.”

[Interview] 150111 Super Junior’s Kangin is Proud of TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho Acting in Hit Movie ‘Ode to My Father’

Super Junior’s Kangin expressed his affection towards TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho.

Having taken his first lead role on the big screen through Cat Funeral, Super Junior’s Kangin held an interview with Newsen on January 8 at a café in Hannam-dong during which he brought up U-Know Yunho, who is another artist at SM Entertainment challenging himself with acting.

About rumors claiming that the projects starring SM artists end up not getting popular, also referred to as ‘SM’s curse,’ Kangin said, “When Yunho appeared on Yawang, I called him to ask, ‘Have you received the scripts for Yawang? I really want to know what happens next,’” adding, “Some people might have enjoyed watching a project that others thought were boring. I don’t know what sets the standard for success.”

When asked if he has watched Ode to My Father, Kangin answered, “Actually I haven’t been able to watch it yet. But I will be watching it for sure. I heard that he appeared momentarily as Nam Jin and did a great job. So I’m even more curious,” 

"You see, that movie has become successful. I heard that it will soon reach 10 million audience members. Although Yunho was not the lead actor, I’m personally proud of him for starring in such a big movie and having pulled off his role well.”

Cat Funeral is a project based on the popular webtoon series of the same title. It is about a couple, who falls in love at first sight but ends up breaking up, spending a day together after reuniting. In the film, Kangin acted as the musician named Dong Hoon who is naïve at expressing his feelings. The movie will premiere on January 15.
