On these days you have been starting different things/ activities. You are both acting and (making) variety show.

What kind of difference between them? What has changed in the mean time?

I think they're very different Now, I don't have rapper attitude" but last year until my album release, my schedule was really tiring and people's thoughts scared me and I feel truth/real fear.

What was the difference?

I had a lot of music and I wanted to show it. So I thought that it was better to concentrate on music than broadcoasting activities/events. But I changed my mind that I would have a lot of exposure to get my musicIs it a strategic choice?

Of course If I don't know who I am, nobody listen my music.

But acting is detinitely different.

When I was child I wanted to be a movie director. At the age of 17, I quit school because I wanted to be a director. At the same time, I also wrote scenarios, applied to the drama department, played the drama as a walking part(figurant) and went to audition.

Was it an impromptu choice/ decision to quit school?

It wasn't an impromptu choice In the first year of quitting school, I watched four movies a day I like Jim Jarmusch's movies and I also looked for movies that no one else saw I think that one year was the most important time to make the current me, me.

Last year you released a sound source, didn't you?

Nevertheless/ still didn't pass your thrist?

I have character that can not rest So I wanted to put energy on the other side, so I told the company that l want to try acting.

That's how you got Into the drama <Anthology>. It was a good work.

I had an audition, but I did not know it would be me. The director didn't even know I was am a singer. Fortunately.

I got lucky to be cast In the meantime, there have been works lke web drama <Anthology> (<Anthologys> project's) the director and the work was realy good too I didn't know my friend Shin Eun soo acted in <Vanishing Times> I became a fan.

O

Is there a movie that comes to mind when is sald <Anthology>?

In Korea, <Once in A Summer> and <Love Phobias> come to my mind. Among the overseas works, <Manchester by the Sea> Anthology is also a character with some pain. I also watched <Running on Emptys> because I wanted to see it.

Also, in <Hwayugi>, you appeared as a Bang Mool Jangsoo's grandson with a surprising story.

I had no idea that I was Woo Ma-Wang's son. (Laughs) It was originally 6-episode small role but I did it with thought of acting on the stage with my sunbaes. My acting is awkward, but it gets better and better. I filmed it once with actors while doing <Hwayugi> I was able to observed different aspects of each other, I really liked that point(tip).

What kind of lyrics are you writing these days?

Until the acting, I made music that I thought about people who listened to me. These days I write a lot of lyrics to comfort me and I'm making songs I want to hear. In fact, I'm making songs that can't come out It's in my chosen system anyway and I think I should do my best.

What if you spend a lot of time in the studio? How do you work mainly?

e

I used to work my own but I feel like I'm sinking too much when I'm working alone so I'm trying to work with the producer recently.

The company says that it is not possible to receive a song, but I am greedy and I do not like it I've been thinking a lot about the songs I made before I want to hear music from any window.

The song I want to hear, the cool song I think.

Is music still important to you?

It's really important. Since music is important I started acting.

When acting or making variety show, I thought music would be fun again. So I started, but now I completely like both of them. I'm also checking out independent movies these days.

As a musician, you followed the accolades of being good looking no matter what you did.

What kind of thoughts are they?

Handsome is an abstract expression. When I made music, it took a long time to dissolve my personality and appearance. On the contrary, it seems to be able to dissolved me naturally when acting

How do people close to you call Today you filmed 'On Beauty you? The staff called you "Won- Are you interested in visual work too? ie" a lot.

Wonie is a nickname in my elementary school Some people calls me Jaewonie.

Personally, I prefer to be called Jaewonie. It makes me feel less human when people call me Jung Jaewon.

You're 25 years old. What kind of spend time in your life?

I grew up with dreaming since my childhood My goal was too big, so when you reach a small goal, It was hard to feel that happiness If i meet my 17 year old myself, I want to tel him that "make your dream big" is wrong 1 don't think I can be happy if I have a big dream I, in that case I'd rather say that it's important to feel happiness and fulfillment in achieving small goals.

When I look at a movie made by designer Tom Ford, the movie is very stylish I have interest in aesthetic things From interior to art, clothes, hairstyle, etc I like it, and I usually like Nike training suits(clothes) but I'm interested in tinding out what kind of career my favorite Saint Laurent model has.

You repeatedly said that you were greedy. What are the other dream do you have?

For example, at 30, I have a dream that I want to be a film director. I like the visual beauty of Sofia Coppola or Wes Anderson, People with their own style, like Jean Michel Basquiat, is cool. I want to be such an artist like him.

What do you like about being at home and going out?

I'm completely 'jibdoli'+ style. (who are alhways at their home especially for men.) So I'm interested in the interior too. 1 like to be in the hotel whereverI travel.

What is the most precious Investment in the house?

I just bought an orange, chair for, â&#x201A;Š500,000 (about $150) a while ago It was a burdensome cost but I couldn't ind no other orange chair to like also like LP Show and I installed a projector in the living room to watch the movie I am thinking abou that is my biggest healing item on these days.

What kind of form(jobs) will we meet with you this year?

I want to do a lot of work I don't want to rest I want to be an actor, even a small singer As an actor, as a singer, I want to find a place even if a small place And I want to feel a sense of fulfillment to a smal coal and being happy on my own Not a long time ago I got a "Today' tattoo on my arm It moans 'Let's do our best today It's so casy to say, but t's hard to ive like that I think I have to work my whole life.

These days I write a lot of words to comfort me and I'm making songs that I want to hear I am open to a lot of thoughts I want to hear music from any window.

The song I want to hear, the cool song I think.
