Ryeowook, “I tried to do my best but I am more confident about my singing even my sunbae sometimes need my advice.” (Ryeowook’s interview to Focus )

 

Super Junior maknae Ryeowook shocked every one when he announced that he will act in a musical drama. Ryeowook is acclaimed for his great singing but not many people were confident on his acting skills, due to his shy nature. But there is one great thing about Ryeowook that every one knew is that he may be gentle in appearance but vigorous in nature. When he become confident about his acting skills he fearlessly transforms himself in the lead character of “Jung Tae Sung” in Temptation of Wolves.

 Ryeowook shared his thoughts as, “at first, I was burdened by the obstacle that is Kang Dong Won. But now, as I practice more, I’m getting more confident that I can show people my own version of Jung Tae Sung. “Headded “I remember in 2004 when I was a second grader in high school. I was amazed at how Kang Dong Won looked so cool in the movie. After being cast in the role of “Jung Tae Sung,” I tried to imitate Kang Dong Won’s acting.  But I couldn’t do it. I thought about what my strong points are. I found a weapon to captivate noonas’ hearts. I’m going to transform myself into a lonely chameleon-like wolf that is tough yet becomes soft when he’s in front of a woman he loves.”

After Attack on the pin up Boys, It is first time for Ryeowook to act a lead character. His previous character, in Attack on the pin up boys, was a funny and easy to go character but the character of Jung Tae Sung is quite different from that. Ryeowook also shared that there were some very difficult moments, “In the scene where Tae Sung and Hae Won are fighting over Han Kyung or in the scene where Tae Sung is heart aching over the fact that his love cannot be realized, it is important to focus on my emotion. It was really difficult because I have to cry with long breathing. But as I focused, my emotion came out without me realizing. I think the audience will watch this scene with their two hands clasped together. (Laughs)”

Even though his acting may be awkward at times that people might cringe, his singing ability does not fall behind compared to others. That is because he’s known for his singing talent among the members of Super Junior and the musical numbers are composed of songs by the other idols. In terms of singing, even his sunbaes in the musical field Sung Doo Seop and Jang Hyun Duk who have been cast in the same role as Ryeowook seek his advice.

“Pop songs are familiar to me since I’ve been singing it many times. I have a task of overcoming the fact that the vocalization is different. When I sing on stage, I can communicate with the audience with a small voice. But in a musical, you have to speak loudly so that everyone can hear.”

Nowadays, Ryeowook is busy. Besides practicing his musical,  the concert in Taiwan, and the fifth album. Every day, he practices his musical until 10 pm then runs to the recording studio and focuses working on the album. However, instead of looking tired, he is full of excitement and anxiety.

“If I was to give myself a score as a musical actor, I’m still at 50 points. I’m lacking in a lot of aspects. But I’m confident. If you look at it, singing is a type of acting where you contain emotion in melody. Since I’ve been training as a singer for awhile, now I’m going to work hard to realize my dream of becoming the best in musical. Even though it was because of my fans… but the news about the tickets being all sold out was thrilling.”

 

Ryeowook showed off his power to sell tickets in his first try at musical. The musical field was taken by surprise when Temptation of Wolves’ presale tickets were all sold out quickly.

“My manager hyung sent me a text congratulating me. I was thrilled. That day, I wrote a thank you letter on Twitter right away. Of course the audience will be mostly Super Junior fans. But later on, I hope people hear good things about the musical that people of all ages will come and see it. I hope to hear from people such things, “an idol singer is appearing in it. I heard he’s good at singing and acting. I heard his name is Ryeowook. I want to see his performance.”
