T.O.P revealed his expectations were high when he heard Ueno Juri would play opposite him.
“I liked Ueno Juri’s works and her acting style,” T.O.P said. “When I heard that I will finally be meeting her through this drama, I got curious. My expectation was high on the kind of synergy (we would) create.”
Ueno said she didn’t listen to Big Bang’s songs on purpose. After she knew T.O.P would be acting with her, she didn’t listen to them because she wanted to think of him as for the role of Woo-hyun, instead of as a member of Big Bang.
“But I heard Big Bang is having a concert in Japan in the future,” she said. “I will definitely go.”
They also revealed that the two exchanged text messages prior to meeting each other in person.
“I texted her first,” said T.O.P.
But later, Ueno revealed that one of the texts she received was to tell her to watch his new music video “Bae Bae,” drawing laughter from the audience. “I haven’t watched (the music video) yet though,” said Ueno.
The upcoming romantic drama tells the story between Korean man Woo-hyun, played by T.O.P, and Japanese woman Haruka, played by Ueno, both of whom are searching for new love to overcome pains from past relationships.
The drama will premiere on Nov. 2 via Naver TV Cast.

T.O.P. DISCUSSES BROKEN HEARTS AND ‘SECRET MESSAGE’
T.O.P.’s new web drama “Secret Message” is about dating and heartbreak. At the October 28 press conference for the drama T.O.P. suggested that he knows what it’s like to have a broken heart.
That’s part of what interested the actor and Big Band singer in the role.
“I was fascinated by the interesting set-up of the drama,” he said. “It appeals to you whether your heart has been broken or not. I thought it would be fun to depict such a story.”
T.O.P.’s “Secret Message” character Woo Hyun is a romantic. He clings to his romantic notions despite the painful results of his first love. He meets Haruka, played by popular Japanese drama and film actress Juri Ueno. Haruka also had a painful past but she is optimistic about the possibility of falling in love again. They both believe in the possibility of true love but they have a lot of emotional scars.
In real life T.O.P. aka Choi Seung Hyun says he has not had a lot of time for dating.
“While working in this industry, I have had few opportunities to date. That’s why I was drawn to the character of Woo Hyun.”
He meets plenty of beautiful, interesting and talented women. But between acting and performing with Big Bang, his schedule is pretty full.

A production press conference for the web drama “Secret Message,” starring Korean rapper T.O.P., of BigBang, and Japanese actress Ueno Juri, was held at the Imperial Palace Hotel, Nonhyeon-dong, southern Seoul, today.
“Secret Message” is a joint Korean-Japanese production web drama, depicting a love story among young adults. T.O.P will play a Korean man Woo-hyun and Ueno Juri will feature a Japanese woman Haruka.
“It has been seven years since my last drama “Iris.” I have tried my best with a strong sense of responsibility to show people how I have improved as an actor,” said T.O.P. during the press conference. “Because I enjoyed Ueno Juri’s dramas, I was very excited and was looking forward to meet her when I heard she was cast as my partner.”
“I was worried a little bit about the language barrier before filming,” said Juri. “However, I felt like there existed between me and T.O.P. a sort of telepathy, which made me focusing well on the filming, though I could not understand Korean.”
“Secret Message” will be aired in 18 episodes and each episode runs for about 10 minutes. The first episode will premiere on next Monday at 8 p.m., via video streaming sites Naver TV Cast and LINE TV.

T.O.P REVEALS HIS OPINION ON STARS MAKING PROMISES FOR RATINGS
T.O.P, who will take part in the web drama “Secret Message,” directly communicated with fans through Naver V App.
When asked about whether he plans to make any promises for the fans, in case the viewer turnout rate is good, he said, “I think you can’t win by answering questions like this, since it’s ridiculous if you achieve the ratings, and it’s ridiculous if you don’t.”
He continued, “I don’t think anyone commits to being in a drama with thoughts about viewer turnout rates. We do this because of our passion, so instead of hoping for a huge success, I would like to hope that you will all remember me and my role warmly.”
“Secret Message” features T.O.P. and Japanese actress Ueno Juri, playing a Korean man and a Japanese woman who lived completely different lives. But they try to overcome the heartbreak from their first loves, and look for new love. It starts airing starting November 2 in Asia, the United States, and South America. It will be shown through Naver TV Cast within Korea.
