Woo Do Hwan Interview for ELLE Korea Magazine, 2017.

<Save Me> That Face of Woo Do Hwan

I don't need to say anything. It is not easily erased from memory. I look at it for a long time. Face of Woo Do Hwan close-up to eyes of the world.

Q: What did you do during the first show of weekend's drama <Save Me>?

Woo Do Hwan: I was with my parents at home.

Q: How was it ?

Woo Do Hwan: I saw one or two previews at the premiere. I watched the scenes that I came out of, and of course, the performances of my seniors. I was really curious to know about how to act in the script. I thought it was great to watch. On August 5, when the drama was first broadcast, I remember how my parents liked it so much.

Q: It's the first time you play the role of the main character, but it's cool!

Woo Do Hwan: It is my first work in the front and it is a work that I will never forget, but it is also a work that tests me. When the actor who appeared in the screen appeared on the screen and led the play in a small amount every time, the viewers would admit that I was also questioning the agency. So I just have to be good.

Q: "A strong presence" "Cast to character" "Joy a snatcher" Did you see the reaction after the broadcast ? 

Woo Do Hwan: The acquaintances captured the article and sent it to me. I did not expect that reaction. 

Rather, I wanted viewers to have fun to watch <Save Me>.

Q: Now, I do not see anything different from Woo Do Han

Woo Do Hwan: I think you are looking forward to it a little more than I have faith in me. From now on, can I be good to the end? You'll have a question. I do not think this is the last test.

Q: Maybe the power of 'Seok Dong-Cheol' might be big. Cold impression and rebellious temperament, I have the wound of my heart.

Woo Do Hwan: There was a feeling that men would like me more if I expressed Dongcheol on the script. I was attracted to Dong-cheol's manhood at first. This guy is jumping unconditionally if he's sure he's right. This is not as easy as it sounds. I think Dong-cheol's was a blank child. You live by believing one by one as you live and experience. As a drunken father, a mother goes out of his house, and a woman is never supposed to be hit, and I grew up in Grandma's hand, and I think she's the only one who can trust the world. In that sense, I can be a pure friend.

Q: How did you meet such a charming character?

Woo Do Hwan: After the movie <Master>, I started auditioning again. <Save Me> It was the tenth audition this year. I did not even know that the original drama was a webtoon <Out of the World>. I had a funny webtoon. Instead, I looked at the synopsis and found the pain of Dong-Cheol and the bond of friends of 'Dork 4th'. The material of the pseudo-religious group was also interesting. I wanted to take a chance.

Q: I've heard alot about auditioning since you started acting.

Woo Do Hwan: I've heard a lot of praise for the good voice. Some people have told me that "your eyes are your strength". At first I heard a lot of bad things. "How do you learn with that skill?" There is a low voice in the appearance. "If you want to continue acting, raise your voice tone".

Q: How do you feel when you think about it?

Woo Do Hwan: This is what I thought was a disadvantage. In the end, it is you who know best about your strengths. You should not try to throw it away unconditionally. I have to keep an eye on how I can make it look good. It's the know-how I got from watching a lot of auditions.

Q: What advantage do you get from the director <Save Me>

Woo Do Hwan: He told me that Dong-cheol, described in the script, matched my eyes.

Q: What is it like to play a clearly expressed character in a webtoon?

Woo Do Hwan: It's definitely difficult to access. There will be fans who do not like to escape from the original work. I do not want to remake my favorite works. I can not be worried. Still, there's something that can help. Last year <The Man Who Lives in My House> even though Webtoon was original, I can look at the pictures and find out the characteristics of the character more clearly. I feels like this.

Q: So what it's character of You

Woo Do Hwan: I heard a lot of stories from my friends saying, "You really do what you want and you buy it". I think it seemed clear to distinguish between what I want to do and what I do not like. If you want to do this, just do it. My motto is "I will not be sorry and sad if I fail". But, <Save Me> I changed it when I filming. "Let's be happy together". I hope all actors and staff will be happy with this work.

Q: I thought of it. Do you have any leadership qualities?

Woo Do Hwan: I think I had a desire to lead something from my childhood. Every nine o'clock in the elementary school, I called the house of about 10 friends. Tell me where to go. Even today, when I go on a trip with my friends, I have a schedule and a secretary.

Q: They(friends) would have imagined that Woo Do-Hwan would act ?

Woo Do Hwan: Not at all. I've had a similar story with my 15 year old friends. Everybody said that I wondered what I was going to do afterwards. I was 19 when I decided to act. and I was not going to starve to death anyway.

Q: But why was it acting? What was crucial?

Woo Do Hwan: The influence of my father who played in my youth was great. I had a desire to act long before, but I could not express it on the outside. I did not know if I could do it. I made a decision when I was 19. I thought I would not want to do it again later.

Q: Have you ever started acting and feeling? 'I can't even bloody blood.' 

Woo Do Hwan: I did not see my father acting, but I only heard his stories. I do not think he's as fit as my father. I mean, when I take pictures with my father, I do not know what blood is. I feel the same when I see it.

Q: Choose, what do you like either the real or the face of the screen more.

Woo Do Hwan: The face in the screen is much better. It's the face made by the best staff. If the lighting director can make the lighting that matches me well, the cinematographer will take some good steps out and the director "This look, looks so good" please take your best picture. 

Q: Is there another thing that has been going on like steadily? 

Woo Do Hwan: Diary and exercise. Right? Why do you keep a diary? It's more a habit than a special reason. At first it was a bad day to pass by. If I don't record, nobody knows my yesterday. I started to write because I thought I had to record.

Q: How did the habit change itself?

Woo Do Hwan: Last year, when I live, I often think that "it is hard today". When I saw the diary I wrote last year, it was hard at the time. I think I have now because I've done well somehow. I get the strength to live today by watching my diary.

Q: are you remembered? <Master> In the interviews that were received with attention, you wanted to try the school project?

Woo Do Hwan: Right. I told him that I wanted to play uniforms, the tsundere character, and acting, <Save Me> I did it through. It's not easy to do as I say, but the character that I posting has everything I want to do, as well as a way to confidently show it to people.

Q: During this talk, your face became bright. What makes you smile everyday?

Woo Do Hwan: There's a lot of laughter. I always smile so much that I can not tell when I'm smiling. I have a lot of words to say 'Let's laugh' to my friends. You'll know by looking at my Instastagram account. I have a lot of pictures that I laugh about and I want to see this and laugh once more. 

Q: Then I need to take a picture again. With a smiling face of Woo Do Hwan.

Woo Do Hwan: This seems to be another. Ha ha (laugh).

MV Review : TWICE - '(트와이스) 'TT'

Aloha..Annyeonghasaeyo.. *-*

Comeback ditanggal 24 Oktober 2016, TWICE merilis sebuah mini album TWICEcoaster LANE 1 dan satu MV yang berjudul TT. Di album kali ini terdapat 7 track diantaranya :

1. TT
2. 1 TO 10
3. PONYTAIL
4. JELLY JELLY
5. PIT-A-PAT
6. NEXT PAGE
7. ONE IN A MILLION

Track favorit yang paling paling paling gue suka ada di nomor tujuh (One in a Million). ^-^

• MUSIC

TT ini menurut gue merupakan emoticon nangis terlihat dari lirik lagunya yang bercerita tentang seseorang yang sedang kebingungan dengan dirinya sendiri, kenapa ia tidak bisa mengungkapkan perasaannya, dan merasa kalau itu bukan seperti dirinya, jadi inginnya nangis saja.

Musiknya asik, ciwi-ciwi-nya pappy JYP masih imut banget suaranya, EDM tapi nggak berisik. ^-^

• LYRICS

I’m in two minds,
In an awkward situation
Everyday I only imagine without asking
I talk casually and say your name baby,
But we don’t even know each other
Beautiful no matter what I wear
This time for sure, I’ll be the first to talk
But it’s only in my head, always only in my head

I start humming and before I know it
I feel like crying, I don’t feel like myself
This isn’t like me at all
I love you so much

• STORYLINE

MV dimulai dari dua orang anak kecil yang datang ke rumah tua yang lumayan besar, mengenakan kostum halloween lengkap dengan aksesoris sapu lidi dan keranjang labu, karena sudah diketuk tapi nggak ada yang buka, dua bocah kakak-adik itu masuk kedalam rumah, bahasa jermannya ; nyelonong.

Disambut oleh TWICE yang lagi nari-nari cantik manja (efek ngeblog sambil dengerin Ivan Gunawan komentar di DA Asia 2). *oke skip*

Mata kedua anak kecil kemudian tertuju kelukisan yang ada didinding rumah, yang ternyata ada Mina yang menjadi karakter Jack Sparrow.

Part Mina : Everyday I only imagine without asking
                  I talk casually and say your name baby,
                  But we don’t even know each other

Dilorong rumah muncul Tzuyu yang menjadi karakter Morticia Addams. *flawless banget cyinn*

Part Tzuyu : Beautiful no matter what I wear

Di atas genting muncul Sana dengan karakter Cat Woman. *sejujurnya gue ngakak sama scene-nya Sana*

Part Sana : I start humming and before I know it

Scene berpindah lagi ke dalam rumah, tiba-tiba dihadapan dua anak kecil itu muncul Momo yang menjadi kerakter Tinker Bell.

Part Momo : I feel like crying, I don’t feel like myself
                    This isn’t like me at all

Di meja makan ada Jihyo yang muncul dengan karakter Elsa di film Frozen.

Part Jihyo : I’m going crazy in all this mess,
                 Why do I feel hungry?
                  I eat all day and am still hungry

Di ruangan lain muncul Jungyeon dengan karakter Pinocchio. Dance-nya Jungyeon keren deh patah-patah ngikutin perannya sebagai boneka kayu. *-*

Part Jungyeon : You say I’m ridiculous,
                         That I don’t live up to my looks
                         Doesn’t cheer me up at all ba-ba-ba-baby

Scene-nya Chayeong ini memang yang paling antimainstream deh, dia doang yang nggak ngambil scene di dalam rumah itu, Chayeong berperan sebagai Ariel di film The Little Mermaid.

Part Chaeyoung : Slap slap slap slap
                           The innocent doll
                           I sit and lie down all day,
                          Time flies flies flies

Balik lagi kerumah ada Dahyun yang jadi karakter Snowball Bunny di film The Secret Life of Pets.

Part Dahyun :  I sit and lie down all day,
                      Time flies flies flies
                      Keep wanting to just complain

Dan Nayeon yang menjadi dirinya sendiri, namun cermin di sekelilingnya menampakan karakter Nayeon itu sebagai Devil.

Part Nayeon : I’m in two minds,
                      In an awkward situation
                      I just stare and say baby
                     Think I’m all grown up now
                      I’m free to make my own choices, but why
                     Why can’t I have it my way

KOMENTAR GUE 

Selain MV-nya yang unik sehingga menjadi menarik, pappy JYP sepertinya menciptakan konsep yang sangat matang untuk TWICE kali ini, terlihat dari MV dan lirik mereka yang sangat nyambung dengan cerita MV-nya. *KE to the CE*

Bersambung di LANE 2. ^-^ Annyeong!

MV Review : EXO - Monster

Salah satu review-an yang sudah kelamaan mendekam di draf gue, iya janjinya waktu itu mau langsung di review, tapi karena males terlanjur menyerang akhirnya belum sempat gue lanjutin lagi. Semacam dibuang sayang karena sudah setengah jadi marilah kita (?) lanjutkan lagi meriview MV EXO - Monster. ^-^

Monster dirilis satu jam setelah rilisnya MV Lucky One, agak telat juga sih rilisnya, nggak tepat waktu, dikarenakan Youtube channel SMTOWN  yang sempat eror gara-gara terlalu membludaknya pengunjung malam itu. * The Power Of EXO-Lovers * prok prok prok..

MONSTER

• Music

Jenis musik Monster jelas berbeda banget ya dari Lucky One, lebih ngebeat, Hip Hop sedikit ada sentuhan rock-nya juga. Part favorit gue jelas lah yah bagian si pacar (Chanyeol) sama si bungsu (Sehun) ngoceh-ngoceh kemudian di sahut suaranya Kyungsoo "You can call me Monster... yeyeyeye.. ohoo uwo uwo". *Badai bangets*

Kalau di Lucky One EXO putih, terang berminyak gimana gitu, kebalikannya, di Monster EXO konsepnya ngeDark gitu, kostum dan lighting-nya juga gelap.

Monster bercerita tentang seseorang yang sangat terobsesi sama cintanya, cinta yang nggak sehat.

• Storyline

Monster ini disebut-sebut kelanjutan dari MV Lucky One, tapi disini gue nggak mau bahas kelanjutan dari cerita MV per MV-nya, dikarenakan otak gue yang nggak sampai untuk menganalisanya. Jadi review ini berdasarkan pengamatan gue sendiri ya readers. ^-^

Cerita dimulai dari Baekhyun yang lagi duduk ganteng didepan meja makan.

Agak beler gitu deh semacam preman yang suka ngamen dipasar ciawi, pas banget itu bibirnya ditindik juga. >.<

Kemudian muncul lah si bungsu Sehun, itu kenapa pipinya berdarah-darah gitu ? >.<

Cameo di MV Monster yang kecenya ngalahin member EXO. *asli itu ular cakep banget*

Dilihatin lagi Baekhyun yang masih sendirian namun tidak kesepian karena ramai bersama perabot makan. ^-^

Kemudian ada mobil yang terbakar. Sebentar... ini mobil yang ada di MV Sing For You sama Love Me Right kan yah (?) *Apa mungkin eSeM sedang kehabisan modal (?)*

Kai muncul dengan tatapannya yang tajam.

Kyungsoo terlihat sedang terkurung.

Suho juga sama, terkurung dalam teralis besi.

Kemudian dikasih lihat si pengendara mobil yang lagi bawa EXO.

Satu, dua, tiga, empat, lima, enam, tujuh... Kok cuma bertujuhan sih (?) yang lain pada kemana (?).

Perabot yang tadinya utuh kini terpecah belah, tapi... ada jam tangan putih yang melayang sedang memutar balik waktu.

Tolong dibantu yaa.. *prok prok prok* perabotan dengan perlahan kembali utuh.

Chen capture-able banget ga sih ini (?). *hohoho*

EXO kini ngumpul di meja makan, kali ini  mereka berpenampilan rapih dan bersih. Oke, berarti ceritanya mereka flashback gitu sejenak. Tampak Baekhyun duduk ditengah. Baekhyun yang jadi pemimpin mereka (?).

Lay bersama para korban sandera lainnya.

Sama dengan Lay, begitu juga nasibnya Chen.

Kyungsoo tertunduk meratapi nasibnya.

Kini Baekhyun kembali sendirian.

*eak* ini abis di apain coba (?). Chanyeol dengan muka yang penuh luka, terkulai lemas di dalam mobil.

Dan Xiumin yang lagi pusing dan galau meratapi nasibnya, terlihat dari kamera yang berputar menyoroti Xiumin.

Kyungsoo yang lagi duduk diatas CCTV, mengartikan kalau dia dan teman-temannya sedang dibawah pengawasan 'si penjahat'. *Dio-yaa.. elo manjatnya pakai apaan ? (pertanyaan penting banget)*

Sejenak flashback lagi kebersamaan mereka.

Klimaks dari MV ini semua benda hancur, member EXO kesakitan.

Potongan gambar ini pernah di upload juga di IG-nya Sehun, *iya doi pasti dapet nyomot dari tag-an fans*

Dan si pengendara mobil, yang membawa member EXO ternyata eh ternyata adalah Baekhyun. *-*

Cerita di MV ini pasti ada kelanjutannya, Yups! EXO - Lotto, mudah-mudahan males nggak buru-buru menyerang gue lagi yah, pengen banget sih review MV yang satu itu, lucu banget soalnya. ^-^
