One year ago, B1A4’s Jinyoung did a photoshoot and interview for @star1 September issue with his members. When we asked him if he remembered us after all the photoshoots and interviews he would have done in the past year, he prettily answered, “Of course I remember! Have you been well?” All throughout the filming, he had very shy smiles as though he was embarrassed, but once you get to know him, he is interesting and leads the atmosphere at the set well, making him a born leader. With a mysterious gaze and high concentration levels, paired with a perfect bodyline, the Jinyoung in front of a camera is a model that every editor is greedy for.
Q. It’s been a year since the photoshoot for the September 2014 issue of @star1. The moment I heard of this schedule, I recalled last year’s photoshoot. That time, it was done with the members, but this time I’m alone. I think many things have changed in the past year. Be it appearance, or personality, I think I’ve matured. Look, (as he lifts up the cover page of the September 2014 issue) it’s different starting from my hair color. Q. Looking at how there’s no controversy about bad acting, it seems like you have secured your spot as an acting-dol. Acting is actually something that I’ve prepared for since middle school, as I shuttled between Chungju and Seoul. I think the experiences from then helped me a lot. Q. All alone? I can’t possibly have a friend or family member travel that long distance with me every time. I think it was since then that I got used to doing things alone, and gaining a lot of responsibility. Q. There must be times where it felt difficult to balance and do well as both a singer and actor. I don’t feel that acting and singing are two entirely different genres. When I sing, there are times that I have to act. And when I act, I need to express emotions as if they were the lyrics of a song. So I don’t try to differentiate them as 2 separate entities, instead trying to do well at what I’m tasked to do. Q. You also composed and wrote lyrics for ‘Sweet Girl’. Are the lyrics of falling in love your own story? Yes it’s my personal story, but from the past. Most of the lyrics I’ve written are from experience. I like to imagine too, but listeners are able to identify more with lyrics written from real life experience. If I hit a certain limit when writing lyrics from just my own experience, I prefer to continue writing after listening to the stories of others instead of imagining the rest of the story. Q. As compared to Baro and Sandeul, we don’t see you as often on variety programs. Is that also a strategy? Rather than a strategy, I think the company also has some kind of plans for us. Actually I’m a really interesting person. Talkative and easily excited. But of course it doesn’t compare to Sandeul. That’s why I do not feel any burden if I were to appear on a variety program, but I guess it is a consideration of the company for me to focus more on singing and acting. Q. We wish to see you on reality variety programs such as MBC Real Men and SBS Law of the Jungle like Baro did. I’m also curious as to how I will change upon facing such extreme situations on those reality variety programs. I think there are many sides to me that I’m not aware of either. But I’m not sure if I will be able to do as well as Baro did. He is a friend who does well at everything, so I guess I need to learn a lot more as I do my monitoring. Q. Recently cooking variety programs are the trend. I think you will match the cooking concept pretty well too. Usually I do like cooking. My father enjoys cooking, so I think I was influenced by that. The time spent eating something I cooked deliciously all together is really nice. Q. Oh, what kind of food? Aglio olio! I also cook a decent kimchi pork duruchigi. Q. Then you must enjoy watching cooking programs! Yes, I enjoy watching JTBC 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’, it’s really fun. Q. Is there a variety program you definitely want to go out on? Um, if I had to choose, then it would be MBC 'My Little Television’. In the time I’m given, I want to compose a song alongside the viewers. The characteristic of MLT is that you can communicate with viewers in real time. So I think we will be able to share many good ideas. I want to write a good song by combining the ability I have and the opinions of the viewers. Q. As we speak, I find that you have both introverted and extroverted sides to you. I think my first impression feels very introverted. Why does everyone think that I will be an introverted? Actually I am a good mix of both. Once you get to know me, I am talkative and I express myself well, so it is a little upsetting to be misunderstood. I’m someone with a reverse charm. Q. How do you act when you are amongst unfamiliar people? I try to be the leader. I am action-oriented, when showing leadership amongst people. Rather than going with the flow, I tend to step up as leader and voice my stand. Q. How about when you are in front of the person you like? I think you will have a different charm as your character Ray Kim in Mnet drama 'Perservance Goo Haera’. Um, I’m quite the warm person in front of the person I like. Quite like Ray Kim. Q. Are you closer to being a 'kind guy’ or a 'bad boy’? I’m closer to be a kind guy. I don’t think my personality will allow for me to be a 'bad boy’. Even if I say something that the other party dislikes but is sorry about, I become even more sorry to them. I cannot stand the other party being sorry to me. It’s better for me to be sorry. Q. Do you think in a relationship, there needs to be 'push and pull’? Absolutely not. It’s a waste of time. There’s not even enough time just being in love. Q. Is there a member that you would introduce to your elder sister? (After a very long time) CNU. In my opinion, CNU is really warm and will only love one person at a time. (laugh) I hope my elder sister meets a person like that. Q. Do you have any other plans as an actor or singer? Rather than a plan, I tend to think that I should catch all my opportunities well if they come to me. For that, I am working hard practicing and preparing in various genres. I’ll show you many good sides of myself so please look forward to it. Q. Let’s see each other again. Since we’ve met twice, we should make it thrice. Of course. I had a lot of fun during the photoshoot today. Let’s have all the members on during our next photoshoot. See you!

I was the first to try acting amongst the members, and am attending the Theatre and Film department in university. But Sandeul ended up doing a musical first. Upon seeing him on stage, my desire got even greater. However it was also me myself who rejected the offers from the musical management, because I felt the timing wasn’t right. I tend to consider very seriously whenever I attempt to start something, so I felt that if I was going to do a musical I should do it perfectly. When I did my musical debut ‘Chess’ not too long ago, the seniors said something similar too. That there are many hard working people, that it is a must to be hard working, that one must do well. But that doesn’t mean that I did very well in my first musical. Even though it wasn’t 100% perfect, but I think I did well enough for me to comfort myself that I didn’t do too bad. 'Chess’ was a production that came in when I gained some confidence. It was a point where I felt that it was time to step up to the challenge no matter whether I end up doing well or not, and also a moment where I was sorry to the fans. Since I did not do any acting ever since the one drama I did in my early days. If I had decided to do all the theatre shows, musicals and dramas offered to me back then, I think I would have been very nervous and worried.
'Chess’ revolves around chess competitions, but also touches on the ideologies of the Cold War as well as love. The role I played, Anatoly, was a world class Russian chess champion. He is someone who is inflexible as a result of living a suppressed life, but wishes to live freely. Despite him being of a different age and generation as myself, I could relate to how he remains calm and does not waver even in difficult situations. As it was a quadruple casting between Kwon hyung, SHINee’s Key and VIXX’s Ken, we were able to share our research of the character. Like myself, it was also Jaehwan’s (Ken) first musical challenge. Kwon hyung and Kibum (Key) gave us advice, telling us that we have very distinct colors and that we should express that individuality to our hearts’ desire. As for Shin Sungwoo hyung, he has the same surname and is of the same generation (in a clan) as me so I depended a lot on him. Senior Lee Gunmyung always asks me about my condition for that, as we wait backstage for a scene between Anatoly and Freddy in the early parts of the Act 1. On my last show, I recalled him asking me 'how is your condition today? Is it all right?’ so I ended up crying after hugging him. All the seniors and the hyungs, noonas and friends in the ensemble are so talent. I remember being in so much shock after my first practice session. Idols also sing as we dance, but for them it was just the basics and they were all so good at everything else beyond that too. I think the members were a little shocked after seeing me on stage. It was like how whenever I watch them act, I think to myself that 'ah, that’s not how he acts in real life’. It might have been weird seeing me not as myself but as someone else. Right, there was also feedback that I sung well. The numbers that were composed by 2 of the ABBA members had an interesting mix of classical and pop music style, and even the seniors found it difficult. People said that they felt a surge of electricity in themselves when they heard me sing the final number of Act 1, 'Anthem’.
