On October 6, the very first Asia Contents Awards (ACA) were held at Dongseo University’s Sohyang Theater in Centum City, Busan.
The Asia Contents Awards celebrate TV dramas from Asian regions like South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the ASEAN countries. The nominees were chosen from dramas that aired within the past five years.
2018’s “Mr. Sunshine” won the Best Creative Award, the top award given at ACA. Chief producer (CP) Kim Yong Gyu accepted the trophy and said, “The Korean drama industry is changing. We are working towards that change. I think that ‘Mr. Sunshine’ is a production that represents that change. If people show it a lot of love, then we can return with an even better production next time.”
Screenwriter Park Hae Young won the Best Writer Award for 2018’s “My Ahjussi.” In her acceptance speech, she said, “I think that the drama was able to get good reviews because the director, actors, and production staff brought the script to life.”
Kim Nam Gil won one of the Best Actor Awards for his work in 2019’s “The Fiery Priest.” He said, “There are many people from all over Asia here, and people who represent the Korean film and TV industries. Rather than thinking of this award as something that shows how good I am, I’m just happy to be accepting an award at a ceremony like the Asia Contents Awards, which celebrates harmony in the middle of a society that focuses on individualism.”
Kim Jaejoong won the Excellence Award and said, “I am sincerely honored to have won this award at the first Asia Contents Awards. Please enjoy your time in Busan and I hope that the Busan International Film Festival will receive more love in the future.”

【TRANS】Interview: ①Jaejoong who is active lively in the Japanese entertainment world(weekly Asahi 2019.10.4)

Interview: Jaejoong who is active lively in the Japanese entertainment world
A top artist from Korea, Jaejoong. He is currently sweeping Japanese song programs and variety shows with fluent Japanese and singing voice that touches people's hearts. In the latest album, he challenged to cover famous love songs such as Yutaka Ozaki and Hikaru Utada that represent Japan.

Q: After starting group activities, you started as a solo artist in 2017, and last year you signed a contract with a Japanese office to start full-scale activities in Japan.
J: To be honest, I'm not used to Japanese TV shows yet. I'm particularly nervous when singing in front of the camera. It is a chance for many people to get to know me, so every time, I'm serious. My Japanese is still not perfect, I am worried that I will say something I should not say during the program. I often mistake the word. However, I am grateful for the co-stars who kindly watched me because "he is a foreigner".

Q: In variety shows you are also familiar as s cute goofy, such as talking about putting washed underpants into a microwave oven to dry.
J: I don't care to show my ridiculous parts like that. When I was in my twenties, I was not a perfect person, but I had to try to look cool and act like an adult. Everyone will show one’s true colors. Now it's more fun to show my true self than to pretend to be an adult. However, that part has been overemphasized recently and those who meet privately make light of me. My worry is younger people say that I'm childish for my age.

Q: You are consulted about the love of the listeners on a regular radio program.
J: (Laughing) Even though I can't do it myself.

Q: There are many subtle answers from the perspective of women.
J: No no no! My advice is realistic. Dramatic advice or dreams wouldn't be helpful. Because real life is not a drama. I see too much reality and can't fall in love. Lol.

Q: I hear you are good at cooking, but what kind of dishes would you cook if your favorite woman come your home for the first time?
J: Instant noodles. Anyone can make it quickly.

Q: Oh ... is she happy?
J: I make it like special. Put on toppings or change the taste and so on. Every time you do something romantic, it becomes common and you don't have a special day. Usually, let's take it easy, ramen noodles is good. That's absolutely true. Please don't watch too much love drama. Lol.

Q: I heard that in Korea you were given the nickname “Fairy of Memo” because you took notes while filming the program.
J: I am in my thirties and my memory has deteriorated, so I write it so as not to forget. I usually use the memo function of my mobile phone. Repairing broken vacuum cleaners early, going to dermatology, buying detergents, and so on. It's just a clerical thing.

Q: Do you write phrases that could be used for lyrics?
J: Not! (Immediate answer) Not at all.

Q: Quotes from other people, life philosophy, etc.?
J: You have to find it yourself. It’s not good to steal other’s words.

Q: By the way, what is Jaejoong-san’s life philosophy?
J: "Today is the most important". Since I may die tomorrow, I am going to live as much as I can today. Even so, I'm not a person who lives for the moment. I will be ready for the next day. I will do my best at least today and tomorrow. But I don't think about yesterday or the day after tomorrow.
to be continued





【TRANS】Interview: ②Jaejoong who is active lively in the Japanese entertainment world(weekly Asahi 20

Q: What led you to think like that?
J: There was a time when I thought about quitting my job in the entertainment industry. I wasn't having fun every day. And I thought why I lived so desperately or that if I cling to the entertainment world, my life would be wasted. My priority is work, but people around me don't think so. If there is too much gap, we have to go different way each other or I have to give up. It was a time when there was such a conflict. About two years ago. That was recent. At that time, “Anyway I'll do my best today. And then maybe a good day will come.'' I tried to think like that.

Q: How did you recover from that?
J: The fact that I was able to become working in Japan greatly affected. From that time on. I started thinking about doing my best again. Now I can plan what I will do. Recently, there is a person who says “I returned to your fan for the first time in 10 years”. Very welcome. If I'm doing my best, there are people watching. I don't want to quit the entertainment world and music now. Because I am very happy now.

Q: You will release your first cover album “Love Covers” on September 25th. What are the criteria for selecting songs?
J: I chose songs that I originally liked and sang, and songs that are widely loved in Japan.

Q: You performed Yutaka Ozaki's “Forget me not” at the FNS Song Festival last year. That got favorable reviews, by not only Jaejoong-san's fans, but also Ozaki-san's fans, as “I feel a respect for the original song”.
J: Really? Was good! I became to sing the song when I went to karaoke with a Japanese friend, he recommended "it would suit Jaejoong". Actually, I change keys up by 4 steps than the original song. Looking at Ozaki-san's concert video, it was very cool to sing without hesitation even if the voice was broken. However, even if I sing with the key of the original song, that feeling does not come out. I felt that the harder to sing, the more I sing at the limit of voice, the more you feel it, so I changed the key up daringly.

Q: What do you care about when singing cover songs?
J: There are many ways to sing a cover song, such as interpreting the original song using your own characteristics, or making it completely resemble the artist of the original song. I want to sing as much as possible to get closer to the feelings of the original artist and make you feel "the smell". For example, I think it's good that you can see Mika Nakashima in "Aishiteru", or you can smell Hikaru Utada from "First Love".

Q: Which song did you struggle with during the recording this time?
J: "Chicken rice". I had an opportunity to talk with Downtown-san on "HEY! HEY! NEO! "(April 1 broadcast), that's why I decided to record this song. This song is very difficult. It does not apply to normal pop song theory at all. What should I say...It's very free. It's more important to say what I want to say than to match the number of melody and lyric sounds. There are some dialects or suddenly speech too fast....

Q: Anyway it was difficult.
J: Yes. Very much. I still don't know what is right. Lol. The reaction of the listeners is also uncertain.

Q: Does Jaejoong-san have food for memories with family like “Chicken Rice”?
J: Maybe steak. However, it was a tough steak of a common restaurant. My third sister is 10 years older than I. (He is the youngest with 8 older sisters) When I was little, she was already independent and living near Seoul. She returned home once or twice a year. At that time, she always took me to a steak restaurant. My parents were working together and I often cooked and eat by myself at home. My family was not wealthy, so there were few opportunities for eating out. So I was looking forward to my sister coming home. No matter how delicious the steak is, it can't beat that steak. I still remember that whenever I eat steak.
