[size=13.3333330154419px]Q: Despite the language barrier, you managed to interact really well with the photographer during the photo shoot. Is that due to your character's strength?
A: This is my first time I am having a photo shoot in China for a fashion spread magazine so I’m feeling very honored; I was really ecstatic and looking forward to it when I received the invite! The photographer is really professional and I’m thankful that she said I’m very friendly and easy to communicate with. Her Leica camera actually left a deep impression on me because I always have a great interest in camera equipments. Being an artiste, I did some learning before on the camera angles, structures and knowledge of the equipments.
Q: Your drama had recently ended. Any plans since you had some free time now?
A: Having some free time now, I’ll make sure to exercise 2 hours a day. I like swimming, strength exercises and also saxophone – this is to increase my lungs capacity and also helps in the abdominal breathing. As an actor, we need to learn some musical instruments. I’m still learning how to play guitar. As compared to dancing, I prefer musical instruments. I can also perform them in my fan meetings.
Q: Why don’t you go traveling?
A: I often fly due to filming. But currently, I prefer to just stay at home more than traveling... no, definitely not because I’m afraid of getting swamped by fans!
Q: You worked with actresses like Jo Bo Ah, Im Soo-Hyang, Han Gain etc. Any interesting anecdotes about them during filming/breaks?
A: I had better rapport with male actors during acting but one of my greatest impression is the actresses are really good at drinking. They can hold their liquor seriously well! I can also hold my liquor well if I drink slowly. (sorry... not very sure of the sentence here so I didn’t translate.)Hard liquors, Ginseng wine, these types are too strong for me. Speaking of it, the lead actress of ‘Surplus Princess’ gave me a bottle of bellflower wine as a gift. We said before we shall arrange to have a drink together after the drama ends.

Apart from the Q&A section, they had a long paragraph of this interview. Here's the link (http://yiren.rayli.com.cn/lanmu/wenzhang/216596) I’ll just pick 2 parts. It would be great if a kind soul can help to translate it. =)

他是26岁才出道的,老实说,也没有特别的才艺,一切都要从头学起。“成为演员之后,我觉得自己有很大的变化,最显著的是:自我管理更强了。此外,以前的我是比较安静的,内向吧,现在要和很多人交流,受到更多人喜爱,变得更活泼了。”
He only had his debut when he was 26 years old. Honestly, (he) did not have any special talent and had to start everything from scratch. “After becoming an actor, I can feel a huge transformation in me. The most visible change is that my self management skill becomes stronger. I’m actually more quiet and introvert in the past. But now that I had to interact with many people and had gained more love and support, I am becoming more lively.”
“The image in ‘We Got Married’, that is actually the real/original me.” After saying that, he removed one of the rings from his finger and showed us the engraving of a bunch of numbers on the ring. “ This is something I had prepared for the next episode, you all get to see it first. I went to the jewelry shop myself and engraved the date of our first meeting, it is a gift to her.”
