신원호│바로, 광고 속 그 미남입니다


청바지에 흰 티셔츠 하나만 입어도 예쁜 나이가 있다고들 한다. 무엇을 더하거나 꾸미지 않아도 그 모습 그대로 좋은 시절. 차가운 물에 갓 세수를 마친 싱그러운 민낯의 소년을 보았을 때, 어른들의 이 말씀을 이해할 수 있었다. 화장품 브랜드의 광고에서 청안(靑安)한 얼굴로 웃던 ‘미남’의 이름은 신원호. 올해 초 지드래곤과 함께 출연한 의류 브랜드 광고로 브라운관에 첫 등장했다. 4편의 광고와 1편의 뮤지컬에 출연한 것이 경력의 전부인, 이 세계로의 본격 외출을 앞두고 이제 막 세안을 끝낸 신원호의 원래 꿈은 음악이었다. 어릴 때부터 뭘 하나 배우면 끝을 보는 성격이라 클라리넷을 배울 땐 연주자가 되려 했고, 바둑을 배울 땐 기사가 되고 싶었다. 하지만 마음 편하게 살길 바라는 부모님의 뜻에 따라 있는 듯 없는 듯 평범한 학생으로 살던 고 3의 어느 날, 특별히 잘 하지도 좋아하지도 않는 공부가 내 길이 아니라는 생각이 문득 들었던 그는 처음으로 고집이란 걸 부렸다.

“저를 보고 즐거워하면 좋겠어요”


지드래곤과 함께 출연한 광고로 등장한 신원호는 최근 화장품 광고에서 청안한 얼굴로 시선을 모은다.

소년일 것이라 지레짐작했지만 나이보다 한결 어려보이는 신원호는 스물한 살이다. 이 청년과의 대화는 종종 낯설었는데, 헤어지고 나서 그의 문장을 곱씹어 보니 과정을 과시하고 않고 결과만 담백하게 말하는 말버릇 때문이었다. 지금은 60kg 초반의 슬림 한 몸매지만 학창시절 80kg이 넘었다는 그에게 비법을 물어도 “독하게 뺐죠”라는 짧은 답이 돌아왔다. 어떤 사람이 되고 싶으냐는 물음에는 “저를 보고 즐거워하면 좋겠어요”라고 말한다. 누가 나를 동경했으면 좋겠다, 이 분야에서 최고가 되고 싶다는 치기어린 야심을 품어도 좋을 나이에 신원호는 나를 보고 행복해하고 웃는 사람이 있다면 그게 자신의 행복이라고 말한다. 누군가와의 경쟁에서 승부욕을 발휘하기보다 본인에게 만족하지 못했을 때 분하고 실망하는, 결국 돌이켜 보면 모든 문제는 자신에게 있었던 것 같다고 담담하게 말하는 이십대 초반이라니. 흔해 빠진 젊음과 가능성에 쉽사리 기대지 않고 유순한 얼굴 뒤에서 스스로를 다듬고 깎아 잘 여물기를 바라는 이 청년, 참 단단하다.


My name is 신원호. 동산 원, 하늘 호. 넓은 사람, 큰 사람이 되라는 의미다.
외동아들
이다. 부모님과 외할머니와 함께 산다.

태어난 날은
1991년 10월 23일.

화장품 광고는
사무실을 통해 오디션을 봤다. 콘티를 보고 오디션에 들어가기 30초 전, ‘아, 이건 무조건 내 꺼구나’라는 생각이 들었다. 흐흐흐. 왠지 느낌이 좋아서 즐기면서 임했더니 결과가 좋았다.

완전 맨 얼굴은
아니었다. (웃음) 그래도 내가 어떻게 생겼나 보다 나를 믿고 뽑아준 거니까 거기에 보답하기 위해 촬영에 집중했다. 물론 전날 팩은 하고 잤다. (웃음)

원래는 가수가
되고 싶었다. 마룬5를 굉장히 좋아한다. 앨범도 거의 다 갖고 있고. 보컬의 음색이 정말 좋다.

뮤지컬 <카르페 디엠>에서는
실제와 다르게 모범생 역을 맡았다. (웃음) 처음 도전하는 것에 대한 두려움이 컸다. 너무 긴장해서 대사도 잊어버려서 상대 배우를 멀뚱멀뚱 쳐다보고 있었다. 

실제로 난 모범생은 아니었지만
개근상은 받았다. 역사 과목을 좋아했다. 부모님이 문화재 쪽에서 일하셔서 어렸을 때부터 관심이 많았다. 국내 역사는 물론 중국, 일본 역사까지 책도 많이 읽었다.

프로젝트 [A]라고
같은 사무실에서 연습하는 친구들의 모임 같은 것이 있다. 노래, 춤, 연기 등을 배우고 있다. 일본인, 중국인 멤버도 있는데 논현동 숙소에서 6개월째 합숙하고 있다.

남자 여럿이서 살지만
이상하게 편하다. 항상 혼자 있어서 그런지 함께 하는 건 뭐든지 즐겁다. 외국인 멤버들과도 신기할 정도로 의사소통이 된다. 남들이 보면 쟤네는 무슨 말을 하는 거지라고 생각할 제 3의 언어가 나온다.

일본인 멤버인 테라다 타쿠야와
코드가 잘 맞다. 같이 영화도 보고 쇼핑도 가고. 최근엔 타쿠야와 함께 집 앞 야구연습장에 자주 간다. 운동 신경이 좋은 편은 아니라고 생각했는데 이상하게 공이 잘 맞았다.

미나리라는 강아지를
키운다. 강아지가 처음 집에 왔을 때 TV를 보고 있었는데 미나리 비빔밥이 나왔다. '아, 먹고 싶다'는 생각이 들어서 강아지 이름을 그렇게 지었다. 강아지를 먹고 싶은 건 아니고 (웃음) 먹고 싶은 건 좋아하는 거니까.

동물원에
자주 간다. 돌고래를 좋아한다. 기회가 된다면 뱀을 키워보고 싶다. 되게 귀엽게 생긴 것 같다. 뱀한테도 먹고 싶은 것의 이름을 붙여야지. 

낯을 좀 가리는 편
이다. 먼저 말을 걸거나 손을 내미는 편은 아닌데 막상 친해지면 잘 챙기고 싶어지더라. 앞으로 함께 걸어갈 사람들이라는 생각도 들고 내가 필요하다면 얼마든지 도와주고 싶고.

고등학교 친구들
중 베스트 프렌드가 있다. 자주 만나서 카페에서 얘기도 하고. 광고에 대해 친구들은 완전 냉정하게 평가한다. 오그라든다고 하는 애들도 있다. 남고를 나와서 여자 사람 친구는 전혀 없다. 만날 기회조차 없었다. 

누군가와 경쟁하거나
저 사람을 밟고 올라서자 같은 생각은 거의 해본 적이 없다. 정말 집중해야 할 때나 뭔가를 잘 해야 할 때 만족하지 못하면 잘 해내지 못 한 스스로에게 화가 많이 난다.

올해는
연예계에 발을 들인, 정말 잊지 못할 해다. 촬영할 때는 너무 긴장해서 미처 희열 같은 걸 느끼지 못 했는데 광고를 봤을 때는 되게 감동적이었다. 

앞으로 본격적으로 활동하게 되면
더욱 치열한 세계에 들어가게 될 걸 안다. 경쟁이나 비교에 익숙하지 않지만 어떤 상황에서도 중요한 건 자신의 능력이지 않나. 나를 더 가꾸고 다듬는 것이 제일 중요하다 

신원호│4장의 사진에 담긴 이야기


신원호는 ‘다듬는다’, ‘깎는다’는 표현을 자주 썼다. 많은 문제에 있어 그에게는 어떤 대상을 두고 상대평가하는 것이 아닌 자신에 대한 절대평가가 더 중요한 듯 보였다. “저도 남자애라 다른 사람이랑 부딪히면 욱 할 때도 있지만, 나중에 생각해보면 결국 모든 문제는 저한테 있었던 것 같아요.”

음악을 하고 싶어 이 길로 들어섰다. 아직은 4편의 광고와 1편의 뮤지컬이 경력의 전부이지만 점점 연기의 재미를 알아가고 있는 그는 연기에 대한 욕심도 크다. “광고든 뮤지컬이든 집중하면 시간이 어떻게 가는 줄 모르겠어요. 내가 몰입하는 순간, 그 사람이 된 것 같은 샤~한 느낌이 좋아요.”

화장품 광고 속 앳된 얼굴과 달리 굵직했던 내레이션, 하지만 그의 실제 목소리는 20대 초반 그 나이 또래들과 비슷하다. “어떤 것 같아요? 제 목소리인데 쑥스러워요. 얼굴은 예쁘장하게 나왔는데 목소리는 남자답기를 원하셨거든요. 최민수 선배님처럼 해보라고 하셨는데, 어렵더라구요. 흐흐흐”

연예계 데뷔를 많이 반대하셨던 부모님께 처음엔 반항하기도 했지만 할머니, 엄마, 아빠를 단계적으로 “공략”해 설득했다. 이제는 든든한 응원군이 되어 모니터도 해주시는 부모님이 첫 광고를 보고 즐거워하시는 모습을 보고, 나를 보고 웃는 사람이 있다는 것이 행복하다는 걸 알았다는 속 깊은 아들. “나를 보고 웃는 사람이 있다는 것, 누군가가 진심으로 웃는 걸 보는 게 참 좋은 것 같아요.”

(Updated) International boy group CROSS GENE reveals first member Takuya

Another upcoming group will join the ranks of 2012 boy group debuts as CROSS GENE will most likely have their debut sometime next month. Earlier this week, the website for the group revealed its first confirmed member, the Japanese actor and model Takuya.

"Bachelor's Vegetable Store" and will be appearing in the upcoming series, "Big", next to miss A's Suzy. Shin was also featured in a CF for clothing brand Bean Pole together with Big Bang's G-Dragon, as well as adverts for KT olleh and Skinfood.

Both Shin and Takuya have roles in a Japanese short movie called "RUN60", which was released last year. Korean boy group Supernova was featured on the OST with a
Japanese version of their Korean track "On the Days that I Missed You". The movie's story will be continued in a nine episode drama series, soon to have limited broadcasting in three major Japanese cities.

Next to Shin and Takuya, other names like Kim Sangmin, Kim Yongseok, Casper and Ko Ganyeng have been mentioned. Kim Sangmin was born on July 7th, 1992 and starred in the musical "Carpe Diem" together with Shin Wonho. Casper; born on March 20th, 1991; is also a model and has been featured in various Chinese CFs for Buggles, HAOLEDI, pepsi, SPORTS100 and more. More detailed information on the two additional names hasn't been revealed yet.


The group was revealed to be part of Amuse Korea, the Korean equivalent of the Japanese Entertainment company of the same name. Amuse houses many of Japan's popular young actors such as Miura Haruma, Sato Takeru and Kamiki Ryunosuke, as well as music acts such as rock bands ONE OK ROCK and Flumpool. For his acting jobs in Japan, Takuya is under the Japanese department of Amuse.

CROSS GENE's Shin got close to miss A's Suzy through slapping?

Recently, actor/singer Shin Wonho guest starred on the show "1 vs. 100," where he shared how he became closer to miss A's Suzy through a slapping scene that they filmed together for the drama "Big."

Shin Wonho stated, "Since I play the character who exchanges souls with Gong Yoo in 'Big,' I've never really had many opportunities to act in the same scene as him. As a result, I usually have scenes with either Lee Minjung or Suzy. However, when I first met Suzy, I greeted her with a bow even though she is younger, but it made her feel uncomfortable even though she is my
sunbae in terms of acting, but I told her that I bowed because I wanted to respect her as a sunbae."

"But," Shin Wonho continued, "one time we were filming a scene where Suzy had to slap me. Suzy was very uncomfortable during the filming, and she only slapped me lightly, slapping me a total of six times. Eventually I told her that it was okay to slap me harder, and finally the director was satisfied with her slap. After that incident, Suzy and I became very close."


Shin Wonho was known as an actor before he debuted as a singer earlier this year. CROSS GENE revealed their debut release "TIMELESS: BEGINS" last month.
