[Ask an Actor] Jang Hyuk
by stroopwafel
The one and only Jang Hyuk will be the next actor to take part in our Ask an Actor video series.
We last saw him in dramaland as a former boxer in Bad Papa, and his next project, My Country, will be out later this year. Jang Hyuk will be taking on the role of Lee Bang-won, who would go on to become King Taejong, and the drama will take place during the fall of the Goryeo dynasty and the rise of the Joseon dynasty.
If you have any questions for Jang Hyuk, leave them in the comments! We’ll select some of the most interesting questions and include them in our interview.
Deadline: We will cut off accepting questions on April 18.

I understand that the Korean Entertainment industry is very competitive, all dramas/films have pressure to rate well in order to survive, all actors need to stay popular. What do you think is your edge in keeping relevant for all these years? Being hardworking is a given, but what else do you think helps your staying power?
Thanks for answering, in advance. I really enjoyed your nuanced performance in Money Flower.

Have you ever played a character you were initially uncertain about playing, but ending up really loving as you got into the acting? (does that even make sense)

I loved you so much in Fated to Love You. I must have watched it close to five times. You had so much chemistry with Jang Nara. You've acted three times with her. Would you consider acting with her again please? Could you do a rom com with her? Who is your favourite actor or actress? What is your favourite movie? Why do you always appear with weird hair in your dramas? Is it you or your hair stylist? Do you laugh that booming laugh in Fated in real life as well? Please act in a rom com soon, and please be the lead.

I just want to go on record for saying I love, love, love, his hair cuts and styles (except for the flipped up curl in early parts of Fated to Love you). And his hats. I love his hats. That man can rock an apple hat!

Do you have any interest in acting on stage? If so, is there a particular role or roles that you would like to play, and why? I would love to see your interpretation of King Lear, Hamlet, or archvillain Iago in "Othello."
Is there a historical figure you've especially wanted to portray, and why?

@yyishere,
I prefer to think of it as "enthusiastic." ;-)
Thanks for reminding me of Lee Gun's shampoo commercial. It is one of my favorite Jang Hyuk performances.

You have a look and general air that lends itself very well to the gruff, strong types of characters, even though you have done very well in completely opposite characters too. Was there ever a time you felt stereotyped and, if yes, how did you break out of that stereotyping?

I think your greatest appeal is the contrasting charms you displayed when you need to portray different aspects of a character in a role, especially when paired with a good script and storywriter. Personally what do you think your greatest appeal is as an actor?
What is your criteria when choosing a role? Do you accept it because you are confident of pulling it off? Or you want to try something new?
I really love ‘Money Flower’ and PD Kim’s ability to showcase your best aspects in the drama. Will you be working with her again?
