The feeling I had on the first and second day of meeting Jin was the same
“Undoubtedly, from the first day I met Jin I knew she is the woman I wanted, even though she was just wearing a pair of jeans, T-shirt and sneakers, and even in very little make-up she was already very beautiful. She is still very young, and is just like a child to me, compared to my mother-in-law who probably understands me more. After that meeting, my father-in-law was against our relationship. He felt that Jin was still a child and there are still many things to worry about. However, after I met Jin, regarding our relationship, there was never suspicion or disbelief, all my life I have lived with a clear and magnanimous spirit.”
I already knew that she was pregnant before we got married but I wasn’t in a hurry to get married
 He told us that this was the place where he first met Jin. The two of them met right at this treadmill.
In the midst of our meal and the interview, Park Shin Yang’s manager ran over to us with a HP in his hands. Even without asking who it was, Park Shin Yang already knew who it was on the other line. As soon as he took his phone, he spoke into the phone “I don’t know what’s happening today, time just passed so fast, I am still in the midst of an interview. I don’t think I would be able to read the Fairy tales to baby byeol (the name of his baby, it means "star") now. Today I was taking photos at the corridor of the gym where we first met, I’ll show you later. As I am still in the midst of the interview, I need to go now. Good night! I’ll call you tomorrow.”
Deeply in love
“(smiling) you think so? Actually my dream is to have a family, the two of us treating each other with honesty and respect, not to quarrel loudly, it seems that my dream has come true. Last Christmas eve, the two families had a party together, I prepared steaks for 10 people, my father-in-law suggested a 4-day-3-nights Gangwon-do tour and we went ahead with this plan. One day after midnight, I was skiing with my father-in-law who was in high spirits, he said “it’s great skiing with my son-in-law in the middle of night!”. My family has no daughters so Jin was treated like a daughter in the family and I in turn became the eldest son of Jin’s family”
There are special reasons for living in Ilsan next to my parents
“I am the eldest son and I’ve never thought of moving out to stay on my own when I get married. When I suggested my plans of living in Ilsan, Jin immediately agreed. We eat our meals at my parent’s place, our own home is only for sleeping. You could use the description of staying apart yet living together to describe this arrangement. I think Ilsan is great. We could go hiking at the mountains which is only 30 mins away by car. Because Kangnam is complicated and squeezy, people’s privacy is violated unwittingly, and so it was unpleasant. I used to lived in WonDang and shifted to this present place before I got married. The renovation and furniture of my new place were all designed by me and at that time I was also shifting my live-in office so it was really very busy.”
The rumours of me attempting suicide with sleeping pills were false
“Exactly, I am not someone who would do something like that, besides, at that time I was busy doing up the house for my wedding, as well as the shifting of my office was happening too, I was dead tired every day and under enormous stress and all I really wanted to do was to go to sleep. But as soon as I get into bed, I started thinking about this and that and couldn’t fall asleep. In order to get some rest I took some sleeping pills and thus the accident. This is the truth.
Rumours relating to BHJ were false
“It was really funny, when the incident happened, a 4000-member strong fan cafe suddenly became 40,000 in a short while! Their sole purpose was to find out the truth. In actual fact, it was all rumours created by malicious hackers on the net. What I don’t understand was why are there people out there who would create rumours like that to attack others. But to think about it, we were all pretty strong and never did succumb under those untrue rumours. Under those circumstances, the way Jin handled it was to avoid any contact with these rumours by not reading or hearing them. Although there were a lot of things going against this relationship before we got married, but Jin at that time reaffirm her resolve that she would not be affected”
At the time, Park Shin Yang has already declared his intentions to everybody, BHJ was not going to let the rumours affect her, to face the rumours hand in hand with her was the more urgent task at hand. He told the anxious BHJ that “when we die, what’s left would not be other people’s rumours but the love between us”, “if you die, I will die too.”
I was suddenly very curious to know when Park Shin Yang actually got to know about BHJ’s pregnancy. If he had known before getting married, then getting married was imperative. So I asked him directly “When did you know that BHJ was pregnant?” The moment the question was asked, there was an ominous silence all around. After a short while, he replied briefly “I already knew that a long time ago”. “If so, then why did you reply “No comments to personal questions” during the press conference of “The Uninvited” last December to avoid answering the question asked by reporters as to whether BHY was pregnant?”
“Isn’t the topic of whether your wife is pregnant or not a very personal question? I was under the consideration that such a direct question may cause some unease to my wife. When I got the news that she was pregnant, I was really delighted. In the beginning, she was also unsure of how my reaction would be, she asked me “Oppa, na, ottoke?” (Oppa, what should I do?) but because of my delight, she said this afterwards “because oppa liked it so much, I really felt very good.” Even though it was a pregnancy before marriage, but we were planning to get married anyway so it didn’t affect much. We didn’t get married so fast because Jin was pregnant but rather that if we have waited till the filming ended, it would have been too long. And the friend who was going to be our wedding singer was rushing to go to the States because of work, so we decided to do it early.”
My kind wife who prepares lunchbox of bread, fruits and popcorn is no longer troubled by the rumours of the past
 He got drunk while having bean paste steamboat with his family after getting home from his wedding ceremony
An ultrasound scan confirmed that baby byeol who was arriving in April was a girl, the dreams that his wife BHJ had when she was pregnant were not of cars but to do with tigers. Two days after the wedding, he went back to filming and was not able to spend too much time with her. What he could manage were strolls and enjoying good movies together whenever there was time off from filming.
Because his mother-in-law had to leave for the States in the middle of January, his wife followed. This was how all the rumours that BHY was going overseas to have the baby started.
“I’ve heard rumours like that, because my wife left for the States before she gave birth, so I could understand the origins of such rumours. But was it so wrong for my young wife to want to be with her own mother when she gave birth? My mother treats Jin like her own daughter but regardless what, there's nothing compared to having your own mother around. Doesn’t a pregnant woman have the right to choose to stay close to the person who would give her the greatest comfort? Because my brother-in-law is studying in the States and my mother-in-law is there taking care of him, as a result Jin chose to go there to give birth. This was what happened but everybody is looking at this matter through coloured lens.”
He seemed to be angry with those people who started the rumours
“The size of my new place and my parent’s place is about 60 pyung. After this fact is made known, I heard accusations that I have been too extravagant. My mother was still working one month before I got married. Although my income has increased a little but the house was bought using the money earned from my dad and mum’s lifetime hard work. Many people were like that to Jin too. They say she is a spy? Say she evades taxes? Why is everyone so unfriendly towards Jin? I really don’t understand. All I did was to get married and everyone treats my wedding like a scandal. That really made me a little angry. Maybe that’s because I have never been through anything like this, I couldn’t become the heroic man who could protect my woman. And because of thoughts like these, in turn I became grateful to these trials."
What are your thoughts towards how the untrue rumours regarding BHJ were spreading before you got married ?
“I regarded those as rumours that would only be spoken by people with primary school standards. Did Jin fall down from the universe? It is perfectly okay for someone her age to have boyfriends. What can I do if they persist in wanting to say those things? I hope that those people who were angry during that time would also find the love of their life like me.”
When would you join your wife in the States?
“As soon as filming wraps up I would go. The movie is targeted to complete by 10th of February. I am going to make up for the postponed honeymoon because of my filming schedules. Jin’s tummy has gotten really big so we can’t really go too far. The important thing is to go somewhere together where we could have a good rest. Before I met Jin on 5th of April, I did not carry too much hope for living. After I came back from Russia after my studies, although I wanted to path out my career in acting but I have always felt lonely. Although I yearn for someone to whisper gentle words to me, but I thought my inability to love was a punishment, God only gave me the ability to act but He did not give me anything else. Honestly, when I am acting, I feel completely drained and exhausted. Sometimes my manager has to piggyback me to the resting area. The thought that I should go out and meet some girls never crossed my mind. Sometime if I do get to meet girls, I would be thinking what they see is not the ordinary man Park Shin Yang but the movie actor Park Shin Yang. If I didn’t get to meet Jin, I would probably be alone for the rest of my life. But I can still hope to live my days happily, can’t I? Surely there must be people out there who are envious? I hope I would always be able to hold onto this love calmly like this.”
 Because I was worried people would be envious if i am too blissful, I did not fully expressed my happiness.
When do you feel the most blissful after marriage?
“In the morning when my wife prepares my morning coffee and when she secretly prepares lunchboxes for me…these are the times I feel the most blissful. Talking about lunchboxes, because she doesn’t know how to cook yet, she would prepare bread or fruits for my lunchbox and one day she even prepared popcorn for my lunchbox! My wife Jin is really very cute! In the morning when I am leaving the house for filming, she would say “Please don’t go.” or “ You can’t do this.” The next day she would say “Don’t get any NGs, come home early” if not, she would say “it’s more important to do a good job filming than to rush to finish it” and after that she would say “Oppa, you must concentrate while filming.” these kinds of words (smiling widely). We agreed when we got married that we would not quarrel and to be just like now, supporting each other. I hope we would be like this for the rest of our lives.”
I have been talking to Park Shin Yang for a while and very soon the time was already 10 pm in the night. This reporter had to rush for the last train back to seoul at 11 pm and besides Park Shin Yang has filming the next day, we decided to call it a day. Nearing the end of the interview, I asked some questions relating to the movie he was doing, I asked him what genre of movie was he filming right now? Usually during interviews, actors would only be too happy to use the opportunity to promote their movies and would talk about some of the experiences encountered while filming the movie or if not, talk about their impressions of the movie. But the reply from Park Shin Yang was “We have agreed that we would only talk about things relating to my private life so I don’t want to talk about anything associated with movies.”
In the end, the closing topic was how he got interested in designing furniture a few years back and things related to his family. Because there were many other topics that I would like to talk about, I left reluctantly at past 10pm, to rush to catch my train.
The Second Meeting
The second time we met was 5 days later on 9th of February. We arranged to meet in Seoul, Samsung-dong at his manager’s office. Since this was already the second time, the interview took place under a very cordial atmosphere. And Park Shin Yang also has a brilliant reason for his curiosity towards the interviewing reporter.
“I have always thought you need at least 3 years to fully understand a person. The passage of time strengthens the trust between two people and you come to a point that you could even understand each other without words. I’ve met you Reporter Lee a long time ago and had a very good impression of you. Besides my manager has kept in contact with you throughout the years. So when I’ve decided to give this interview, I immediately thought that Reporter Lee would be an ideal person. If I do an interview with a virtual stranger and he gets to see my straightforward manner in private, he would say why is this star like that, the images projected from the movies really is only that of the actor and is completely different from real life. For instance, today I look completely different from what you would expect”
“Blood Type B, curly hair, eldest son, eldest grandson, worst candidate for bridegroom”
When not filming, he would sleep in until really late. Wearing jeans, ivory colour knit shirt and black sports jacket, I was probably more familiar with a suit-clad him and I didn’t know what to make of what I see right now. But it is true that he would only wear suits during filming, it’s once in a blue moon that he would wear a suit in real life.
Regardless what, even though he isn’t too adept at socializing, he has many good friends in the industry. Movie actor Kim Seung Woo, Shin Hyun Joon, Lee Jung Jae and Jung Jin Young are all his best friends. He said when he calls these friends, there would be no misunderstandings even if the conversation starts and ends in the middle of nowhere or if it gets off topic. But because of each other’s busy schedules, it’s hard to meet up frequently. The interview today started off with the topic of his baby – Byeol.
The name Byeol is very pretty
“Very early on, I’ve already thought about how I should name my baby when I should get married and have children. Then I was thinking of using maybe ‘san’ (mountain), ‘gang’ (river) and ‘byeol’ (star). These names do not sound proud, is charming and do not sound flippant. It can replace the name “seung-bi” in the registrar because the two names sounds very similar. A close monk once advised that the word “seung” should be in the name.
What kind of father do you want to become?
“I love kids, if possible I would like to have a few more. It’s not such a bad life working hard for kids. Yes…after Byeol is born, like all fathers, I want to give my children the best, I don’t want anything bad to happen to them” |
