Celebrating Yuchun’s Acting Journey and the Glory of 16 Awards (1)
30 Aug 2010, the first episode of Yuchun’s first drama “Sunkyungkwan Scandal” was aired. From then until the current “Missing You”, Yuchun has played the main role in 4 dramas (2 Mon-Tue dramas, 2 Wed-Thur dramas).
In these 2 and a half years, he has forged his own path in the drama world with his blood, sweat and tears. Several times, the filming of his dramas clashed with JYJ concerts or activities and it was a superhuman feat to juggle dance practice, song practice, drama filming and the actual concert tour. There is already so little time to rest during a shoot. Can you imagine having to rehearse for a concert during the rest times?
Most of us would also know that his beloved father passed away at the start of the filming of Rooftop Prince, when Yuchun was on a flight returning to Korea after a JYJ concert in South America. He was grief-stricken but he went back to the set of Rooftop Prince the day after the funeral, much earlier than people expected him to. Knowing how tight filming schedules are, he probably did not want everyone to be held back because of him.
Yuchun did it, and did it unbelievably well. 16 awards in less than 2 and a half years are a testimony to his indefatigable spirit, extraordinary determination, positivity, hard work and talent. And the best part about it is that Yuchun remains a humble, sincere and loving person. That is why we love him so much. He will never glorify himself, so we will have to do that for him.^^
