Park Yoo Chun wants “Rooftop Prince’s…natural charisma” to shine

JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun, who will appear SBS’s Wednesday-Thursday series Rooftop Prince, airing in March, recently expressed his feelings.

Writer Lee Hee Myung, who is currently working on the series, previously said that he believes Park has the ability to embody his character wonderfully. Then Park thanked Lee for supporting him.

Park said, “I was really happy to read his interview. He is a great writer who has written many wonderful TV dramas and he believes that I will do a good job performing in the series. I want to play a charismatic prince in the series. Instead of just yelling and being serious, I want the character’s natural charisma to shine through. I hope I can satisfy Lee.”

“I really enjoyed reading the script. I read the third script early this morning and it was so funny, it shook off the sleepiness right away. Even though I’m under a little pressure, I’m working hard to understand the character.”

Park also talked about shooting the title scene. He said, “When I wore the King’s clothes for the first time to shoot the scene, I was really shy. But I tried hard not to be shy. If I traveled through time to 21st century Seoul from Joseon Dynasty in real life, I would be crazier than my character in the series. I tried to focus on that feeling and I was not shy anymore.”

The staff members for the series had nothing but praise for Park. Producer Ahn Gil Ho says, “Park is doing a great job leading the series as an actor. He is already a crown prince in real life.”

The series, in which Park will appear as a crown prince Lee Gak, will begin airing in mid-March.
