Hoya is filming ‘Reply 1997’ right now. The alumni reunion scene that made us wonder who Sung Siwon’s husband is!
◆1991 born Lee Howon experiences ‘1997’
Returning to 1997 was more interesting than I had thought.
Although it is a totally different generation, because I was interested
in it from before I looked it up on the internet and studied it. It is
also true that I worried a lot because I had to act with hyungs like Eun
Jiwon senior who have a large age gap with me. But actually starting
filming and talking with them, there were absolutely no uncomfortable
things. I actually treated them so comfortably that it was to the point
where people around me would worry and ask “Can you really do that?”
Hahaha.
At the filming site, I was so into the site that I didn’t
even think that it was Sechs Kies’s Eun Jiwon. Althought where times
when suddenly a thought like ‘Ah, Sechs Kies’s Eun Jiwon!’ would bubble
up^^
Because ‘Junhee’ was a role that didn’t talk much, I
usually did expression or emotion acting. There were a lot of scenes of
when he would listen to someone’s story from next to then. Because of
that careful expressions were important and with only that I had to
express Junhee’s emotions to the viewers. It wasn’t an easy task to the
me that it was the first time acting. That part was also the hardest
part.
Another thing was saturi. Me that is originally from
Busan, fixed my saturi while preparing to debut as a singer. Like that
at the end of complications, I started using the standard language, but
in this drama I had to use Busan saturi to my heart’s content. Because I
had to do the opposite of when I was fixing saturi it wasn’t hard. For
example, when I was fixing it, because if I talked to my family and
friends over the phone my saturi would come out, I didn’t contact them
often, but while doing this drama I contacted my family a lot. Because I
can use saturi to my heart’s content^^
I actually started practicing saturi again. But what is
this situation, the Junhee that became an adult fixed his saturi
completely! There were a lot of scenes facing (Jung) Eunji but because
Eunji kept using saturi and I used the standard language….it was hard..
I don’t know if everyone caught on but, in the scene where
I sit on the couch drinking milk while talking to (Seo) Inguk hyung,
slight saturi came out! We filmed it three times but watching the
episode, that scene was out. Did you catch on? Haha.
To be honest I don’t think I can say that I perfectly fixed my saturi yet. Because still now words that have the symbol ‘ㅇ’ my pronunciation becomes stronger without me knowing^^
Hoya who returned to Junhee that has a calm and delicate personality. Infinite Hoya where~?
Although it was hard I never thought ‘I did this in vain.’
I actually felt the fun of acting someone else. I showed a lot of manly
sides through Infinite but I put in a lot of effort because I had to
draw out a person with a delicate personality in ‘Reply 1997.’
I steadily exercised up to now but because I didn’t think
muscles match with Junhee, while filming the drama I didn’t even do push
ups. Because I constantly thought about the character, during filming
my way of speech would be very friendly and kind. ‘Dark Hoya’ that the
fans like, for a little while goodbye~
The members encouraged me with texts like “Hoya who became
soft” “Friendly Hoya-sshi,” and because as expected my manager hyung
told me I changed. This should be evidence that I was immersed?
Gradually understanding the person Junhee, I was able to
immerse more. L’s, who challenged acting before, advice was also a big
strength. Because of his recommendation of “Read the script with your
heart” I put in effort to feel ‘Kang Junhee.’ As strange as it is,
because I spent a lot of time at the filming set, I gradually accepted
Junhee I was able to feel the ‘me’ that was living as him.
◇Kim Myungsoo, another me
L who is resting a bit in the midst of filming ‘What is Mom.’ “It’s an encouragement text from Woohyun hyung” Ah, and the script that you can slightly see! Traces from practice just as is~
Sitcom filmings are usually filmed five episodes’ worth of
amount at one time. Like that waiting time is long as well. Isn’t it
boring you ask? Not at all! There are a lot of delicious things in the
filming set neighborhood and while going around and taking a walk there
is no time to be bored! Although it could be because only one month and I
can’t feel it yet^^ As of now it is only really fun.
After filming and I go home it is dawn when everyone is
already asleep. Because I am living a repeated life of where I have to
get up early the next morning for schedules, there is no time to see the
members besides during concert practiceㅠㅠ. Occasionally, a text from Woohyun hyung comes. Then strength naturally comes. Thanks hyung ^^
When we escape downtown and do outdoor filming, I drink
the clear air and spend a good time while going around looking at places
that I wasn’t able to go before.
Ah! And my hobby is ‘picture taking.’ I normally always
have my camera in my bag and take it around and take photos of the
scenery and people. If there is even one day when we rest, I always go
out somewhere. Last time I went to Han river and it was interesting
because there were a lot of things to look at and I was happy because
there were a lot of things to take pictures of.
L who is holding a camera and showing the altitude of concentration. ‘Taking pictures is my strength!’
Taking pictures became a hobby after I bought my camera
three years ago. I started with the heart of wanting to leave the
beautiful scenery with pictures and I usually always carry around my
camera because I thought it would be good to leave every day things too.
The heart of wanting to leave even the little everyday
things as memories too!! When I take a picture, should I say it’s the
feeling of that moment becoming a special memory. Taking pictures, I
like the aspect of being able to remember that moment.
After I take a picture I always leave a memo like ‘Today’s
day~.’ Uhm.. like when we were in elementary school we wrote drawing
diaries, I write a photo diary.
The pictures that L filled with his camera ‘How are they?’
Because I want to study photography a bit more
systematically, I am in the midst of buying professional books and
reading them. I fell in~~deep^^ And because of that if there is a new
camera mode I want to buy it and I am very interested.
When I get stressed, I like going around by myself, but at
those times my camera is always protecting my side. When I go out and
take photos, I think my stress is going away and if I shoot a good scene
then I feel good.
Different from seeing it originally, I feel like I’m
looking at something else when looking through the lens.
A day is going to come where the thoughts that are only in my head are going to spread and be seen^^
These days we are spending busy days going to and from
Korea and Japan because of Arena Tour and ‘What is Mom.’ I feel really
good because in Japan, through Infinite we are gaining a good outcome
and I want to work harder so that I can grow into a singer that can
shine Korea! And I want to show the side where I develop in acting too.
I wish you can watch over me because I will work to the
best I can while going to and from L and Kim Myungsoo. ‘What is Mom,’
and Infinite hwaiting!!
◆Now returning to ‘Hoya’
Sweet rest during performance rehearsals! Properly showing ‘Dark Hoya’s’ side~
There are friends that I practiced dancing with and grew a
dream to be a singer with since we were young. And looking at that, I
debuted first and then around ten of my friends around me that practiced
have now debuted. Big Star’s Gwangsul (Feel Dog) and Youngjun (Baram)
hyung were members of the dance team that I was in. After debuting, we
meet occasionally but when we talk about our similar worries and goals,
we don’t even know that time is passing by.
My heart that says ‘let’s be the best’ that I had when I
was practicing in order to become a singer and now as a Infinite member
is the same. If there is something that is different, before I was
tightly blocked. The heart ‘only dance and singing!’? It’s not like that
anymore. I changed my thought to acting and also showing variety of
charms through variety programs. Before debut I was also very shy but
now there is a little bit of composure when it comes to people.
It’s also the same when I am performing. I always had
something that was making me nervous in my heart but I now think ‘If I
enjoy it that’s it.’ I don’t feel it as a big issue if I go up on stage
and there is less of the audience’s cheers, it’s fun. It has become
where I go up on stage and do my best and joyfully do the performance
while smiling amongst the members. It’s not only me, I’m sure the
members are the same. It is the now where the past’s nervousness has
gone.
And the assurance of ‘If I work hard it’s okay’ has formed. Thanks to the positive members, I changed too.
Hoya that is monitoring during ‘Reply 1997’ filming. Precise monitoring is mandatory!
To be honest I worried because while acting I couldn’t
practice singing a lot but because of concert practices in between
during lessons, the vocal teacher told me ‘Your skills have improved.’
Because of the effort that I put in for emotional acting, maybe it came
out in my singing. I underwent the stubbornness that I felt before while
thinking I will show something on stage. I think the emotions that I
gained while acting permeated untouched into my singing and demonstrated
a synergy effect.
I think my head rotation got faster too. After listening
to the director’s directing, because I repeated the process of fixing my
mistakes right away, I became to understand if told one thing and able
to fix it right away. This is also one of the things I gained after
acting.
Another thing is the fact that I became ‘mature.’ Although
it was acting, the conversations that I had during that process while
fixing conflicts has helped me. I indirectly looked at my situation and
also looked back upon my life and thought about ‘If it were me how would
I do it’ and I also was able to rethink about ‘me.’
I also thought if there were good friends around me like
‘Reply 1997’s’ Junhee. And I also started to pay attention to the
valuable people. To be honest, I wasn’t the type to contact my family
and friends a lot but while doing this drama I started to care for the
people around me. I really learned a lot.
Because I developed one step through acting, it is now the
order to show through the stage. Infinite of course, and with unit
group INFINITE H that I’m doing with Dongwoo hyung!! We thought a lot
about what side we should show. In the beginning, because hyung and my
forte is dancing, we vaguely thought that it would be good to show that
side emphasized but because we can show that enough as Infinite, we
decided to do something that brings into relief a more artistic side.
INFINITE H started full-fledged productions starting from
last year and even while doing the drama, we continued to record. At the
thought of showing the public a different side, personally my
anticipation grew big. Although we haven’t set an exact date for our
promotions, you will be ale to see another charm of Hoya’s soon!!
And ‘Arena Tour’ that happened last month. As much as it
is a hard stage for even artists promoting in Japan to stand on, as
predicted my heart was filled with emotion. I also studied Japanese
really hard with the heart of wanting to communicate with the Japanese
fans a little more. Even during schedules, I would squeeze in time and
have lessons. I added a little bit more meat to the current concert’s
repertoire and did a lot of preparations. I hope that as much effort as
we put in, that we can finish it well.
Looking back at it, I did a lot of promotions this year.
Because I received a generous amount of love, I was able to get a good
result and I only have a thankful heart. In the future, with Infinite,
and Infinite H, I will show you a variety of sides so I request even
more anticipation!!
I will show you more than you anticipate, I love you!
