KANG MINHYUK KOREAN TV DRAMA MAGAZINE INTERVIEW
Kang Minhyuk
A multi talent who attracts people not only by music but also acting.
Sekwang is smart and tall, a reliable man as a boyfriend. But he is a maknae who can’t oppose his sister. CNBLUE drummer Kang Minhyuk created the lovely character. He is still a new face as an actor. He naturally acted contrast character compared to a single-minded boy in previous drama ‘Heartstrings’ more than everyone’s has expected.
Changed into a ‘Bad man’.
He was influence his action by the other members (CNBLUE).
ーHow did you finish shooting the long home drama that extended for over 7 months?
MH: Our drama has 57 episodes, I acted with nice actors for a long time, so I was comfortable and we became like a real family. I could relax when I acted and I had no difficulties during shooting.
ーIs it any difference from ‘Heartstrings’?
MH: Simple, It was (My Husband Got a Family) weekend drama and the previous one (Heartstring) was mini series. And I acted only as a cute character in ‘Heartstrings’ , but this time, I could show you my several face. I showed a lot of usual me. This time when I acted I had a bit difficulties (regarding his character that quite opposite with his real personality) this point is most different. As for the similarity, both drama had mild atmosphere.
ーAt first, Sekwang was a bad man who tempts women on purpose for his friend. How did you try to express it?
MH: To be honest, I’m worried because I don’t know how to be a bad man. CNBLUE members burst out into laughing when they heard I will act as a bad man… so I studied and discussing with scriptwriter. And I synchronized the timing with Malsook, so then I could express the hidden things of me.
ーWho was burst out into laughing the most?
MH: All of them. hahaha Sometimes we’re monitoring each others act. They will say nothing when someone acts well, but when they find the strange part, they will make fun. And they start to imitate it. They’ll imitate as soon as they find such a part.
ーWhat about this time?
MH: On the opening of this drama, I had the scene that I raise my hand saying ‘I am!’ at a club. Usually when people raise their hand, they stand all of their fingers. In my case, they said I raised only my 3 fingers, thumb, index finger, and middle finger and it looked like a bird’s paw! I continuously to deny it , they didn’t believe me. Finally, they updated its cap picture in our messenger, and when I saw it, it’s really looked like a bird’s paw.. Even now they still make fun on me because of this.
ーAt the beginning Sekwang was tempted Malsook on purpose for revenge, gradually he really loves Malsook. Actually, is your ideal type a woman like Malsook?
MH: She is cheerful and active. I think she is very cute. She is a little hatred and acts irresponsibility, but I’ll get over her personality if I like her, haha.
ーWhat is the secret to have someone’s heart like Sekwang?
MH: If I have a girlfriend, I make efforts as possible as I can and try to express all of my feelings. I will call or spend time just to eat with her. I’ll express all of my feeling without controlling.
ーPreviously, you said you’ll do your best for her more than Gwinam if you have a girlfriend, didn’t you?
MH: I do everything when I interest in something. And Gwinam in drama expresses all of them directly. I have a confident about such things! I wish I would have my girlfriend. hahaha
Very nervous at first kiss scene.
ーHow do you opposed to keep company with your lover?
MH: It’s a problem and I have thinking back again. I tried to persuade my family in drama, but I have to think over in reality. I’m sure they have reasons to oppose our marriage. But I let members know if I have a girlfriend in the first place.
ーWhich scene do you have a deep impression?
MH: Kiss scene under the umbrella. It’s my first to have such a scene since I started to act, I felt ‘I’m cool’ when I watched it on TV! It left a good impression on my mind.
ーNow, all of CNBLUE members work not only as musician but an actor. Did you receive any advise from other members?
MH: Yonghwa hyung works as an actor longer than I do. But… his kiss scene…kkk In that scene, I thought it’s only acting, there just as scenario. In fact I was very nervous, I put our lips closely rather than I acted with my heart.
ーSekwang is attractive man, how about you?
MH: In members, I’m maknae, so I sometimes depend on others, I don’t do like in drama. I worried about how to try to please, but when I went to the shooting destination, I could do smoothly! I’m youngest of all (among My Husband Got Family casts), other actors loved me, so I could act naturally. I felt a little shy, but I was Okay, sometimes I’ll talk to Yunie nuna or mother (his mother on drama).
ーWhat do you think if you have a strong sister like Yunie?
MH: Yunie gets angry with me, and sometimes spoils me. Her action has love to brother, she always supports him behind. I’m happy if I have such a sister. Of course I was slapped in drama. hahaha
ーWere you scared in the scene you were slapped?
MH: Not at all. Namjoo is tender, so she can’t slap strongly. She worried about me, finally I asked her ‘I’m ok, so please slap’. We could enjoy shooting.
ーWhat did you think you acted with other actors?
MH: First, I felt a lot of pressure, but I didn’t want to trouble them, so I always practiced hard the day before. They encouraged me so warmly on the location, and I appreciate them for it. They treat me like real brother or son. I enjoyed shooting very much.
ーWho supported you about acting the most?
MH: um…… I was maknae in set (among those casts), so all of them concerned me warmly. I was helped by Namjoo and Yoon Jungsan.
I’ll show you cool us at World Tour!
ーWhat word were you impressed the best from co-worker’s as advise?
MH: I was given ‘You did well, so act like now without thinking too serious.’ When I was anxious. I remember when script-reading meeting. I’m originally shy, so I was embarrassed acting at the place where there no camera. I felt so nervous, but I gradually became calm because other actors relaxed and read scenario. Thanks for them.
ー It was funny a tutor Sekwang and a student Janggun give and take. Did you have many NG?
MH: We were never have NG which cause of our laughing. For let audience laugh, I think we have to control to act naturally. Dongyeon who acted Janggun and I practiced many times, so we were a perfect pair. I concentrated to express impatience when I teach Janggun who is slow on the uptake.
ーPlease advise how to study to the student fans.
MH: Advise? I give an advise? oh… I think the result of school exam is in proportion quantity of studying. School exam is decided by general range. If you’re well study at the school, you can have high score.
ーCNBLUE member, Lee Jungshin acted a man who wants to be an actor in ‘My daughter, Seoyeong’, He had the scene he practiced Sekwang’s word. Did you watch it?
MH: I watched it, but I was amazed. hahaha It was strange for me, Sekwang was presented by audience like that. In fact, I didn’t know that scene, I knew when I watched the drama. We don’t give an advise each other. In the Jungshin’s case, I checked his lines few times, and I told him ‘It’s important to stay relax’. Maybe we haven’t talked about drama we appeared.
ーRecently, your video playing the drum became a topic, can we directly see you like that at the world tour?
MH: I don’t know camera will be set before drum. Maybe you can see me at our live in Seoul on May. We will go to many countries, the atmosphere will be different on each countries. We’ll show you cool us at each concerts!
ー5th single ‘Blind Love’ will be released on 24 April. What kind of song is it?
MH: This song is composed by Jonghyun hyung. We have let you listen to Yonghwa’s songs who powerful and sparkled with wit until now. But this song is like spring. I think we can show you Jonghyun’s song to be more coloring J-pop taste. It’s new challenge for us, so please listen to it!

CNBLUE ANNAN MAGAZINE INTERVIEW
Jungshin
A funny prince who looks like a model
‘I like a prosperous place, I recommend Gangnam area. It attracts with many hotels and shopping spots!’ He introduced Seoul. By the way, if you have Japanese girlfriend, what kind of date do you want? ‘Firstly, we will go shopping at Kalosukil. There are many stylish shops, we are holding hands and date slowly ( not to rush to do anything). I want to eat Choppal together. The shop I often went is in Seoul, that shop has the best vegetable choppal! I’m sure she will glad!’
He is talkative and get rid his cool looks. ‘Among the members, Yonghwa hyung and I who talk much!’ They are often playing around, today too! ‘We are liven up with rubbish talk at house and scene! For instance, when we get up in the morning, Jonghyun’s dark ring are terrible, so other 3 members poke his into. Furthermore he said, ‘we attack Minhyuk because of his small face, we’re like a child? ( laugh) If there are tv programs about our life, I think it becomes pretty popular.’
CNBLUE had released mini album ‘Re:BLUE’, which was very meaningful product. ‘In Korea, the song made by members hadn’t been a title song, but we can make “I’m sorry” composed by Yonghwa hyung as a title song. I do feel we can grow up, we could carry out hard schedules with smile and possibility thinking about the bad things.’
Jonghyun
A man who can speak Japanese well and has his own way.
Jonghyun looks gentle and serious. But once the interview had started, ‘Instantly, I’m usually playful.’ haha. He replied with fluent Japanese! ‘We’re really funny! and friendly. We can laugh by looking at each other face. But we become so cool in stage. sometimes ourselves think “Who are we?” By the way, Yonghwa hyung is funniest, naturally, but Jungshin becomes talkative except at the stage (but I think jungshin is quite talkative at the stage too). Minhyuk is boringsome person even if he makes the effort for not to. I’m pretty funny, but I usually hide it!’
He plays the guitar and composes songs. He even plays the guitar in the dressing room. ‘But sometimes I want to do a thing besides playing guitar. Then I watch movie on pc. Recently “Black&White”, which was released last year who captivated me.’
Which moment who moved you recently? ‘I did live at Saitama Super Arena last year, we can play at big stage.. like a dream. I play the guitar lying on the stage as my performance, shouting to the audiences telling them it was amazing! It was valuable experience for me.’
He often goes to a certain place in private. But ‘I often go there now, to the…’ He cut off his word. Please tell to anan’s reader! ‘Um.. a mountain near Myundong, it’s the best for driving. I can refresh my feeling by going there, so I often go there to see stars with members when I have trouble with my work. I’m going once in a month. That place is fits enough for date!’
Yonghwa
Their (CNBLUE’s) ‘Hyung’ covering by kindness.
As the leader, Yonghwa leads the members. In photo shoot session, he had follow the request well, pulled Minhyuk’s hand and hummed with Jungshin, relaxed atmosphere.
According to him, we could felt that he was really enjoying being with other 3 members. ‘I make fun with other members when they acted amusing (in a drama), but I don’t praise them on purpose when they acted well. I want them to grow up strongly. Haha he told his unique theory as a leader. Is he strict? But sometimes he shows kindness by making and treats members Toppoki. How about its taste? ‘They said “good”. I have a confident to make Toppoki well.’
We asked him about the place who had associated memories with, he replied ‘Hongdae’ with his pure eyes. ‘Hongdae was the place where we met for first and we acquired experience. Can be means, CNBLUE had started from there. When we visit (Hongdae), we remember those days. There are many live-houses, but Hongdae is a date destination for young people. Go there if you visit Seoul.’
Then, if you have a girlfriend, do you want to take her to Hongdae? ‘Not all the way there. I’m happy to go to anywhere else with my girlfriend!’
Minhyuk
His smile that melt our heart♡
‘I’m very happy we can be on the cover of anan which Kimura Takuya appears too!’ Minhyuk smiled.
Although interview started in the early morning, but he just did vigorously. ‘But I’m happiest while I sleep. haha now it’s 9 am, I can sleep until tomorrow morning. My best feeling is when I’m wrapped soft blanket. I can sleep for 10 hours, so my condition is good, today was 5 hours only. but I’m ok, because I’m professional!’
He spent much time for sleeping even in the afternoon. ‘Hyungs practice the guitar or singing, but I just sleeping or talking. Other members bothering me by beating desk with drum-stick haha.’
The memorable place is Yoido in the middle of Seoul. ‘We live in Gangnam now, I have many memories in Yoido, by having lived there with members for 5 years. And it was easy to go to many tv stations then since it locates in the middle of them (TV Stations). I have to get up early now due to the place (TV Stations) are far from our house, and come back late…’
If you have a girlfriend, where do you want to take her for date? ‘I can’t go there if I talk about it here!’ He was bashful. ‘It’s a joke, I want to go Haneul park. Haneul means “sky”, we can see only the sky there. I want to walk holding hands with my girlfriend!’
Is it interlocked finger!? ‘I like to hold our hands like usual. I become to want to have a girlfriend, while talking about date.’
