Digression,
Cannot stand having a sore throat when singing.
You may spot him pulling his turtle neck shirt,
or untying his necktie when singing.
My Adam’s apple is larger than others,
so I tend to do that when I’m wearing a turtle neck or a tie
while I’m singing.
There’s a bit of a…
‘made up’ feel to it too.
Has a habit of spraying perfume before acting,
and favorite perfume is Frederick Malle's ‘Geranium Purmouche’
Q. You have the habit (jinx) of spraying perfume before your concert starts
Before, when I used to perform,
there were cases where the crowd was right in front of me.
I tend to sweat a lot while performing,
so that’s why I used to spray perfume.
But then, I thought I’d spray different perfume for each character,
so that’s how it became a ritual for me.
Also, before I perform or act,
I don’t have any other habits
but spraying perfume,
that’s how this became a habit.
Let’s go through my filmography.
Acted the role of Tobias in the musical
Those who watched will know,
is a very eerie piece.
It's a great performance by a composer named Sondheim.
I acted the character of ‘Tobias’
He is a very poor character
a very poor boy.
I had a lot of fun.
I performed this piece for about 4 months,
and every time I got on stage, I was overwhelmed
The song itself is very grand and classic.
There was a screeching sound in the opening scene,
and every time I heard it, I felt a gush of adrenalin.
It is the biggest regret in my life,
not being able to see Sung Cheol acting Tobias.
Is there a way we could see it once more?
Tobias’ age is 14 in the musical.
Guys!
I’m 32!
It’s been a long time since.
I think the has been replaying recently.
Both on TV and Netflix.
It was on the trending list.
Do you have a memorable episode?
I came out on episodes 1~2,
and in episodes 3~6, in the prison scenes,
people were like ‘where is the Lawman?’
So I reappeared in episode 7,
and I remember the director said to me,
to have people like me when I reappear.
He wanted people to feel ‘sympathetic’
I remember acting as bright and clear as possible.
Kim Sung-Cheol, become famous!
actually, don’t become too famous!
They don’t want anyone else to know about me.
I wanted to act as a pure boy in
and ve as cute as possible.
But I look really stupid here.
Although it was only 2 episodes long,
it was a music drama, and there aren’t many music drams around anymore.
The director wanted
to make it well so that
many people will remember it.
So I quickly learned how to play the guitar
and the songs
were also good songs
so I was able to sing them well.
Many people have watched it.
More than expected.
The directors talk about a lot.
The director of has also watched
and wanted to work with me.
It’s that good.
Did you have to audition for ?
I was cast for the role.
Park Jin-Woo PD was…
looking for a non-handsome actor…
and found me…
and he’d found just the one.
That’s what he said during the production press conference
He specifically
pointed it out.
I’d like to ask him,
why?
I don’t think I ever attended interviews for
I had a very hard time acting in it.
I remember, director Kim Won-Seok,
often showed me how to act Ipsaeng
and he pulled it off so well.
He said,
if I could do just as he did,
the Ipsaeng character will be fun and solid.
But I don’t think I was able to pull it off as well.
I have regrets.
But because I was able to work with so many awesome people,
I have good memories.
It was loved by many.
Actually,
I tend to pay a lot of attention
to how people react around me,
and many people around me complimented
Also, Ji-Woong’s character
is like the standard of a sub-character
right?
I had so much fun
and was happy every time I was there to act.
As I was filming, I felt that I’m no longer in my 20’s.
Because when I was filming ,
I felt that the expressions I felt while acting
was a little different from how I’d normally feel.
it was different
For a moment, I thought I’m slowly gaining experience.
Kim Sung-Cheol’s Moments
We were such babies
There are quite many who ask me to sing this song during a shooting.
You sing so well.
Thank you so much.
Please leave many positive comments for me!
Wow, this also has a million views.
Oh, a lot of people ask me this.
The part where I pause here was because
I got my scripts mixed up.
You know when you’re lost for words
because of so many thoughts?
I also had many versions of how I cried.
I think there were like 4-5 versions.
There was one where I’d cry my eyes out,
one where I was a little cooler,
standard crying,
and so on, but the director chose the crying out aloud version.
I remember saying this during my fan meeting once.
I received a sudden call one day,
asking me if I can go cameo.
I asked ‘What cameo?’
and he said, cameo for
So I said ‘OK’
and asked them to send over the scripts.
But when I got the scripts,
it wasn’t just a cameo role.
If it’s a Song Joongki’s drama,
of course, I’d go cameo.
It was such a good experience for me to act with other major actors.
So I just did it.
The chemistry between Song Joongki and Kim Sung-Cheol was great!
The script was so detailed.
Even for the name Tae-Ho,
there was an arrow after Tae and Ho.
So I just read it as it was written.
Exactly as the writer had written.
Why do you think you’re loved by ‘hyungs’ so much?
I’m really playful.
When I need advice,
I ask the ‘hyungs’ because they have more experience
and learn from them.
And it’s fun just talking with them!
Please invite me again!
