Jang Keun Suk Appreciates Model Jeong Hyojun's Dedication to 'SWITCH'


 Actor Jang Keun Suk sincerely expressed gratitude for model/actor Jeong Hyojun's dedication to 'SWITCH'.

On April 25, a special press conference of drama 'SWITCH' was held in SBS. At the press conference, actor Jang Keun Suk and actress Han Ye Ri showed up to talk about the drama.

Jang Keun Suk plays the two male protagonists of 'SWITCH', a con artist named Sa Do-chan and a righteous prosecutor named Paik Jun-su.

Since the two characters are completely different from each other, Jang Keun Suk talked about his struggles from playing the characters.
Jang Keun Suk said, "This drama makes me to endlessly think of my roles. When I play Sa Do-chan, I become confident and active enough to use all space of the filming site."

He added, "That's how much the character is free, active, instinctive, and so on. But Paik Jun-su is completely different from Sa Do-chan."

Jang Keun Suk noted, "He is always refined even when he moves. To describe the role, I would say he is too honest, who perfectly fits to the definition of honesty and justice."

He continued, "The staffs of our drama were so shocked at first when they saw me at the filming site. I had to play the role that is brand-new, so they said I looked really different from who I really am."

 

Jang Keun Suk confidently said, "When I checked my acting, I was quite satisfied with it. My acting seemed to fit the word 'Switch'. It's really hard to change from a character to the other one, but I am trying my best with responsibility as the main actor."
He held the mic back at the end of the conference to express gratitude for someone special.

Jang Keun Suk said, "Aren't you curious of how we film the parts with all my characters in? There's a stand-in to film the scenes, but his face is never shown on screen."

He noted, "He always comes to the filming site and have conversations with me. He has never been lazy with his work, and I would like to sincerely express gratitude for him."

Although Jang Keun Suk did not mention the stand-in's name, he gave a hint of the actor by saying, "He is from Mnet's audition program 'Produce 101' (2017). That's why I have a special attachment to him."

 

According to the staffs of entertainment industry, it is noted that the stand-in is model/actor Jeong Hyojun from YG KPLUS.
After he was in 'Produce 101 Season 2', Jeong Hyojun is seen from various dramas to build his acting experiences.

Jang Keun Suk's abrupt expression of gratitude for Jeong Hyojun not only unveiled how 'SWITCH' is filmed but also put a spotlight on the emerging actor.

Jang Geun Suk Comments On “Switch†Going Head-To-Head With “Suits†In Viewership Ratings

 


With the Korean drama remake of “Suits†coming up on April 25 at 10 p.m. KST, SBS’s Wednesday-Thursday drama “Switch†will be facing some competition in viewership ratings.

During a press conference for “Switch,†Jang Geun Suk was asked how he felt about the two dramas going head-to-head in the same time slot.

 

“These two dramas have different genres, so I don’t worry about how it will turn out. The broadcasting station might hate me [for saying this], but I don’t even have time to worry about competing dramas because I focus on my own. I try my best not to lose sight of my character. I don’t think I feel any burden [in regards to competition],†he expressed.

 

Jang Geun Suk also talked about the fairly low viewership ratings for “Switch,†saying, “I think it’s dangerous to be emotionally affected by numbers. Of course high viewership ratings can give us more energy, but I don’t think the actors and atmosphere on set should be affected by low viewership ratings. It does not have an effect on our teamwork. It would be nice if the viewership ratings were in double digits, but we’re still having fun with filming right now.â€

Cast Of “Switch†Displays Perfect Teamwork In Behind-The-Scenes Video

 

On April 25, SBS’s “Switch†released a new making video of the cast filming the drama.

The clip starts with a crew member handing Jang Geun Suk a bag of rice puffs as a prop for the next scene. While munching on the snack, Jang Geun Suk commented to his co-star Han Ye Ri, “It’s been a while since I ate one and it’s yummy.â€

He added, “These are carbs,†and Han Ye Ri assured him that it’s only a little bit of rice. He continued to snack on the rice puffs in between takes and the actors successfully incorporated them into their scene.

On a different set, Jo Hee Bong, Shin Do Hyun, and Ahn Seung Hwan prepared to film their scene with Jang Geun Suk. They joked about the director’s lack of reactions and burst into laughter while filming due to Jo Hee Bong’s mistake.

Before shooting the next scene, Jang Geun Suk showed them an idea of how to film the scene. Pretending to be Shin Do Hyun, he hugged Ahn Seung Hwan who was standing in as Jang Geun Suk’s character. He then turned to Jo Hee Bong and asked him to pry him off as he fought to let go of the embrace.

When the cameras started rolling, the four actors perfectly reenacted what they had just practiced, and Shin Do Hyun improvised more by holding onto Jang Geun Suk’s leg.

 

Shin Do Hyun and Ahn Seung Hwan then had fun playing an arcade game on set. As filming resumed, the trio showed off their teamwork by adding adlibs to perfect their scene.

“Switch†airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 10 p.m

Those who start watching Switch will like it until the end, and also the response from abroad is great. Our goal is to keep the same quality to the end.»

English translation of the press conference:

 

On April 25, SBS's Mokdong office building was in chaos again! That is because Jang Keun-suk and Han Ye-ri, the leading actor and actress in the Drama Switch will appear in the press conference!

The chaos this time was different from that in the previous production press conference. It mainly came from the lobby.


People rushed to the office with their laptops and pamphlets in order to listen to them on a better seat.

To our surprise, there seems to be a struggling viewer rating.

 

Jang Keun-suk:
I think it is dangerous to judge a drama or broadcast and be swayed by the numbers. Of course, good viewer ratings give us good energy. It is the responsibility of the actors and team staff to stand firm. Because I think it's an engagement with our audience. That is why we are not swayed by numbers at all.

 

Han Ye Ri: I am looking forward a better result but I'm not too disappointed.
Though the ratings are not high enough, we're having fun filming it!

Some people say the flow of the drama is too fast.

 

Han Ye Ri It is a disappointing part in terms of the genre drama. Each time, it will present new plots. After watching it one more or two more times, you'll find it quite interesting. Please watch the rebroadcast more!

 

Jang Keun-suk
Speaking of the broadcast, now viewers use IPTV more often. What I mean is that the IPTV statistics show that the top one searching key words is "Ugly Duckling." Following that, SBS Drama Switch comes next. I didn't care more about the numbers. (laughs) but it would be thrilling to be on the top!

 

Q / You said you wanted to meet a life character for Jang Keun-suk! Are you close to your life characters? Or is there anything lacking?

Jang Keun-suk
I think challenge and transformation are the words that best express Jang Keun-suk. I always try new characters. This work focuses on the characters of Jang Keun-suk. Even now, I've never encountered a single work out of my choice that I have regretted acting in. I've always tried my best to make sure there are no regrets. Regardless of the results, the most important thing is to enjoy myself.

 

Q / Acting a passionate Prosecutor O'Hara, what is the scene that you enjoyed heartily?

Han Ye Ri
Rather than scenes, OHa-ra was not involved in dealing with her supervisors. She doesn't care about the relationship between the juniors and seniors.
Not only I but also the public have come to love this idea. I think you can feel the thrill.

 

 

c13b60f551b845efe5a79f1d360bf5bb.jpg&key

 

 

Q1. It is one person with a double role, but it can also be a person for triple role. While acting a double role, is there anything confusing about acting? How do you discriminate the different roles?

Jang Keun-suk
That point is what I talk to the director most. The word "reversal" is best suited to this drama. When you are confident in Baek Joon Soo, with the conviction, it turns out to be the key point of Switch.

I think it is a right decision to choose the work in which I have the chance to play a double role.

When I play Sadochan, I can see that I can be what my heart wishes to express the characters without confinement. Because he's that bright and calculated. Rather than just following the script, I am acting freely in accordance with the circumstances at the scene.

Baek Jun-soo's character is highly contrasting. He is pretty much controlled. 
Unlike Sadochan, he shows honesty in his look and eyes. When I played Baek Jun-soo at the scene, I spoke with reserve. I was within the norms!

Even wearing the same suit, the two roles appear stark differences in size and tie colours. I think it is most important to express the story with my eyes. The movement and the expression and emotion of their eyes are different from each other.
Jun-Soo stares at the opponents in order to observe them well while Do chan keeps thinking about something while he is in front of his opponent.
He squints his eyes more often.

 

 

Q / Han Ye-ri, as you play a totally different character from your previous work, what is your focus? Isn't it awkward?

Han Ye Ri
It' not awkward at all. Though it looks new to me, I think I can do it. 
It's much easier than the characters I played before. I believe if I keep worrying about my character, my acting is definitely getting pressed. Based on the prevailing mood at the scene, in a simple and direct way I accept the role.

What are the opinions about the opposing villain, Chung Woong-in?

 

Han Ye Ri
We had our first encounter recently. In the sum of his performances, I would thank him for his very detailed feedback. And yet, his eyes looked scary. I was on the tip of my tongue. He merely saw me while I was speaking out the opening and closing of the lines. Mostly he looked somewhere else.

 

Jang Keun-suk
When we film for the scene with tension, I am discreet on what I am saying. During the break, after the filming, we'll talk about "carbohydrates-free diet." We seem to be talking a lot about each other's thoughts like "What ... ' Is alcohol really a carbohydrate?" (Laughing)The charisma of his playing the role is by far the best!

 

How often is your spontaneous acting?
Especially, I wonder if the lines "as Han Ye ri " was a spontaneous line or it was mainly based on the script.(Note: In Korean Han Ye Ri has two different meanings. Besides a name, "Han" can mean "very" and "Ye Ri" can mean "agile")

 

Jang Keun-suk
The line "as Han Ye Ri" is based on the script. Originally I was a little bit worried that it could have broken the flow of the drama. However, the line seems to be a hit. Viewers' response is also pretty good.

It is a very rich drama.
Of course, I do a lot of research on scripts. In this drama, you can see the feelings from many impromptu actings coming out from discussing with the other characters.

A filming locations which always contribute to the spontaneous expression made by all the actors are always welcome. Ja young's spontaneous acting (played by Ko Gye-Jang) is extraordinary!

 

Through Switch - Change the World. What would you like to see?

Jang Keun -suk
At the age of 30, I used to shot in the Drama "Daebak." At that time 
I'd been worrying a lot such as "How do I lead my life?
""What kind of person should I be?"
Now, through a work called Switch, I can portray the character of Jang-suk. I think I pretty much enjoy it.

I have been asked many times whether playing two roles is difficult. It's hard absolutely, but it's fun indeed. So, I can just work harder and enjoy it. That's probably the reason why I chose this work. And so far, it has been focusing on rapid developments and fun events. Till the middle of the drama, I think the message that we want to convey is going in the right direction. We will end the drama in a more authentic direction.

 

Han Ye Ri
I think every new attempt is a pleasure.
I hope I don't get tired of it until the end and get on with it just like now. I hope to enjoy my position and finish it up.To conclude


What Jang Keun-suk said to the still-in Actor Chung Hyo-Jun

I wanted to tell you this. There are a lot of actors and staff who I really appreciate. To play a double role, a still-in actor is required to play opposite. I would like to express my gratitude especially to the actor. His face is not even shown on the screen, but he comes and talks to me about the scenes. He shows enthusiasm in his work without being lazy with his role. I must say thank you and thank you so much.

At a press conference,  Jang Keun-suk & Han-Yeri …
I could feel the atmosphere at the shooting site was really good. With positive synergies at the site, please watch the second half of Switch-change the world a lot ~!

Jang Geun Suk said that there was no shaking in ratings, revealed his candid face. Jang Geun Suk said, "Younger generations don't watch the drama at the time it is airing. I get excited when I see the IPTV viewing rankings high every morning when the drama re-run."
