Kim Seon-ho on Filming in Japanese, Italian and Korean

It was definitely Korean… not Japanese. My Korean, I… I just kept stuttering.

Every time I said a line, one person would come over and… “ Seonho, repeat after me.

Gekkokusha no banbi…”

like this… Over there,“ Ohayou gozaimasu, ohayou gozaimasu,”

like that, they kept doing it,

so I said,“ Ah, wait a second, please talk to me one at a time.”

There were times like that.

But Yoon- jung saw that and said,“ Wow, I could never do that.”

In the scene where an Italian kid collapses in a ramen shop because of an allergy,

I spoke Japanese, Korean, and Italian, and for that scene I

practiced a lot and we shot it with almost no problems. But after that,

there was also a scene where I interpret for Momo- chan,

and it was definitely Korean… not Japanese. My Korean, I… just kept stuttering.

Since I was speaking so many different languages,

our own language… I kept going,“ Uh, ah, I am sorry,” so we had to do many retakes.

Uh, next to me,

watching Seonho

oppa learn each

language from the different teachers

and get coaching in each language,

I thought,“ If that role had been given to me,

would I be able to do it?” and I honestly thought I would not be able to.

Doing, you know… one day Italian,

one day Japanese, would have been hard enough, but watching him do

Japanese, Italian,

and Korean all in one day, switching back and forth like crazy…

I thought,“ Mm,

it is really good that oppa is the one doing it.”

I mean… I am sure I could have done it too.

I am sure I could have, and to give one example, the reason Yoon- jung said that

is because I had a Japanese teacher, an Italian teacher, and then also…

an English teacher, so every time I said a line,

one of them would come over and say,“ Seonho, repeat after me. Gekkokusha no banbi…”

like that… Over there,“ Ohayou gozaimasu, ohayou gozaimasu,”

like that, they kept doing it,

so I said,“ Ah, wait a second, please talk to me one at a time.”

There was a time like that.

But Yoon- jeong saw it and said,“ Wow, I could not do that.” Ah, I think it was

in English. Since everyone speaks English so well,

um… I think I was really very conscious of it, about the English.

When it came to doing it, I worried a lot about pronunciation and diction,

and it was a bit difficult in so many ways. The rest, if anything,

as I spent a lot of time with

the teachers and kept working on it, it actually felt fresh and fun.

Of course I was envious.

I was just talking with actor Yoon- jeong

and I said,“ That was way too long…

The interpreter is probably going to have a hard time with what I just said,”

but they did it so perfectly.

So the two of us were like, thumbs up…

I would watch Seon- ho work with the diffe rent... Next question… Next… Since

I played this role,

my eyes are drawn to people in that profession, and I really respect them and

they look so cool. I absolutely think our Yoon- jeong will win,

because even on location she picks up languages really fast,

and in real life she is much more

interested in languages than I am and really enjoys them. In our drama,

an actor named Fukushi Sota plays the role of“ Hiro,”

and the two of them were asking each other about Japanese and learning it,

and she picked it up so fast. So when I asked her about it,

she said she enjoys that kind of thing and is really interested. I lost. Yes,

I think I won. I kind of listen and roughly guess the

meaning and…

when I am told to repeat things in a foreign language, I am pretty good

at imitating, but I cannot really apply it,

so I only have just enough ability to stay interested at a total beginner level.

If we actually competed, since he is the one who studied, I would probably lose.

Why are you like this all of a sudden?
