A pure person?
Someone who’s loved by all
says that his back is bent...
I love questions like this.
What kind of drama is ‘가시리잇고’?
It’s a bright, warm drama that has bits of comical scenes
and on some scenes it can be calming
but on some other scenes, it can be lively.
Tell us a quote by Park Yeon.
If you go, I’ll follow.
What did you have to focus on in order to be absorbed into Park Yeon’s character?
We had to move back and forth from past to future
but the character remained the same.
So I focused on the outfit-hanbok.
I was able to focus more on the character
when I work the hanbok.
At first, I liked wearing hanbok
because I always wanted to try hanbok, but
because I was the only one wearing hanbok
I could sense people were staring at me.
So I remember being a little embarrassed at first.
If you can describe Park Yeon (in 5 characters)?
A pure man.
He’s passionate and likes to express his feelings honestly.
He's a character that is far from lies.
Out of all the dramas you’ve films so far, which character was most similar to you?
There were many similar traits in most of the characters I acted.
But out of them, I’d say Sunwoo from the drama “Signal”
Since I’m a quiet person that doesn’t do much talking,
I think that he and I had the most similar personalities.
Are you “just” like Sunwoo?
I’m not as justice as he is but
our general personalities sort of overlap.
What do you think about Seunghyup (hyung-older brother)?
To me, seunghyup (hyung) was
at the scene, very reliable.
He always looked after me,
said warm things to me
and always cheered me on and comforted me.
Besides SF9, who is your favorite senior form NFC?
Say Seunghyup now!
Seunghyup is my favorite.
??: Hello.
Chanhee: Hi. It’s you again.
He said his favorite senior is Seunghyup.
Me…?
Seunghyup: Really?
Seunghyup: Everyone loves Chanhee.
And because Chanhee is the youngest
artist from the entire FNC line,
everyone adores him.
Share with us, an interesting episode while filming.
Seunghyup: I have one.
Seunghyup: One day, I was sleeping in my car (while waiting),
Seunghyup: Chanhee called me and was like;
“Hyung where are you?”
I asked, “Why what’s up?
and he told me “I found a room you can rest in!”
I told him “I’m fine here;;;;”
Seunghyup: He found a room that I can use to rest in.
Seunghyup: He went around asking the staff and found one for me.
Seunghyup: Maybe I looked very uncomfortable in my car.
Chanhee: Hyung always says, as a joke
that his back is bent...
Chanhee: Because I know
Chanhee: how hard it is to just wait in the car...
Chanhee: So I asked the staff if they can find us a room
Chanhee: that we can both rest in.
Chanhee said that you were very reliable while filming.
Seunghyup: Actually, Chanhee was more reliable.
Seunghyup: He never took breaks.
Seunghyup: Even when he was standing by,
Seunghyup: he would socialize with the staff
Seunghyup: and showed support by saying “fighting!”
Seunghyup: He was very supportive.
Good brothers.
Seunghyup: N.flying and all the artists from SF9 & FNC,
Seunghyup: are trying our best to bring you the best, so show support.
Seunghyup: Also, we’ve poured our hearts into filming “가시리잇고” so...
Seunghyup: Please show your love and support.
I’ll see you at the gym~
Thank you for trying hard as a singer, actor and a MC. What are the things you like the best in each sector?
As a singer,
I love performing on stage, hearing all our fans cheer for me.
Love communicating with our fans. It’s so much fun.
When I’m acting,
I love the idea of having to keep in step
with the seniors and colleague actors and actresses.
It’s so much fun.
As an MC,
I love introducing other artists to the public. It makes me feel proud.
Every role has different charming points.
You said you want to try acting as a villain, if you can appeal to your future director now what would you do?
Dear Director, Hello.
I really would like to act as a bad guy.
I know I’ve been playing the good guy in most of my films,
but I can assure you that I can also do well as a villain.
Please contact me.
As a ‘Music Core’s’ MC, did you ever want to try covering other singers' choreography?
All the singers are cool.
But I especially like Taemin.
When he came back with a song called ‘Criminal’,
I couldn’t take my eyes off him.
What does ‘Fantasy’ mean to you?
It’s something that’s always supportive.
Something that is always walking beside me.
My colleague, my friend,
and a member.
Acrostic poem with ‘Fantasy’
Members of Fantasy!
Hop on!
onto our SF9 car right now!
What is your MBTI?
I remember doing the MBTI test during our fan meeting.
I don't remember the exact name, but
it was definitely something bright.
But actually, I’m not a bright person so
it wasn't really accurate.
I’m sorry. I remember I was F- something
What was your dream before you became an Idol star?
When I was young, I wanted to become a scientist.
This was when I was in kindergarten,
and in elementary school.
But I started to realize that it was not an easy dream.
When I was 5th grade,
I made my first debut as a child actor.
But back then, being a celebrity wasn’t very easy for me.
I was always shy around people
and it was difficult for me.
So I didn't think I would continue acting.
But I’ve tried my best little by little
and now, as a singer and an actor
I’m very happy that I am in this field.
What is it like being the youngest among SF9?
I’m really happy.
All the older brothers/members are so kind to me.
They always take me as who I am.
They’re like my real close friends.
I don’t think there’s any wall in between us.
Tell us what you think of your rank in SF9.
I think that first is obviously
me.
second is Wheeyoung
and last is
Jooho hyung.
I think Jooho hyung ranks the lowest.
Older members seem to accept the younger members more.
What do you think you will be 10 years from now? Do you have a dream?
I love questions like this.
I can imagine about my future.
Since im 22, when I turn 32,
I want to be able to work more stably.
Right now I always tell myself ‘I must try harder’
‘I need to get higher toward my dream’
but as a 32 year old Chanhee, I’d like to be more relaxed.
What brings you ‘small but definite happiness’ these days?
My small but definite happiness is in watching a movie at home.
Even yesterday I watched a movie called “coco”
It was a very heart warming movie.
So I think my small but definite happiness is in watching a movie.
Dear Esquire subscribers. I’m Chanhee from SF9.
I know I sounded boring during my interview today but
thank you all for watching till the end.
Please keep showing love and support for our SF9 members and Seunghyup, N.flying!
We had a lot of fun filming the drama ‘가시리잇고’,
So stay tuned and keep showing your support.
Until next time, take care of yourselves!
Thank you
