[TRANS] 100521 Yoochun Was Nervous The Day Before Filming Commenced For ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’

Yoochun, who will be one of the main leads for the new-age historical drama “SungKyunKwan Scandal”, was feeling nervous the week before he was scheduled to begin filming. “SungKyunKwan Scandal” will be broadcast by KBS this coming September, and is based on the popular novel “The Lives of SungKyunKwan Confucian Scholars” by Jung Eun Gweol. Yoochun will be part of the “Modern F4” and will be taking on the character of the leader of the group, Lee Seonjun, who is overbearing and a mummy’s boy at the same time.

A representative for Yoochun expressed over a phone conversation with OSEN on the afternoon of the 20th that “As the eve of the first shooting drew near, Yoochun started to practice his lines. He had received a lot of help from the seniors who are acting with him” and “because the words and tone used in the drama differs from modern day conversation, he has been spending more time and effort to practice [his speech]. He is also currently learning how to ride a horse.”

He also added, “As this is the first time that Yoochun is challenging acting, he is feeling both excited and worried at the same time. He is quite distressed over his own role and is in the midst of preparing himself well. We hope that everyone will look forward to and support his performance.”

On the other hand, decisions regarding the key female roles “SungKyunKwan Scandal” are also in their final stages. The list of cast will be confirmed either this week or next week, as they plan to commence the first session of filming.

[NEWS] 100408 Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu Films CF for Lotte Duty Free Shop

The three had filmed the CF recently where it will be used for print in Korea and as print and video in Japan. All 5 TVXQ members had endorsed Lotte Duty Free Shop last year, but only three are filming for the new CF now.

The representative for the three said on the 8th, “At the end of last year, the contracts were recognized by the court as ones that needed to be suspended. The three tried to get rid of the long term contract and the court accepted that so right now, they are not under their long term contract. This means, that their Korean and international activities shouldn’t be a problem. They are now working on dramas, CF endorsements and also preparing themselves as solo singers.”

It’s not clear if the three can work under the name of TVXQ but they didn’t use TVXQ for their Lotte Duty Free Shop CF as they didn’t want to antagonize SM Entertainment.

One insider said, “SM did try to trademark the name TVXQ but it got denied. This means that they can use their name TVXQ but they decided not to and they will keep doing this.”

SM Entertainment said, “We know the three filmed the CF but we don’t want to limit the three members since they are not using the name TVXQ.”
