FT Island's Hong-ki ready to return to acting
September 19th, 2009 // by javabeans
LeeHong-ki is mostly famous for being a member of the popular pop/rockband FT Island, but he’s looking forward to returning to acting, whichhe’ll do in SBS’s trendy idol-star drama You’re Beautiful [미남이시네요], hisfirst drama gig in five years. (He has made cameo appearances on dramasand sitcoms, but his last drama role was in MBC’s 2004 series FreezingPoint.)
I’d say most of the press attention is focused on itsleads — Jang Geun-seok as the idol band leader and Park Shin-hye as hiscrossdressing teammate — but with FT Island’s popularity, I’m surethere’s a vocal minority who’s excited for Lee Hong-ki.
Lee saysthat partly due to his membership in an idol group, he felt comfortableapproaching his role as an upbeat character of an idol group: “Thedirector, Hong Sung-chan, told me to just be as I usually am and to usethe way we normally talk in our dialogue, so I didn’t feel a lot ofpressure.”
The idol group within the drama is called A.N.JELL(which makes me cringe a little, but I suppose it’s not any worse thanreal band names like 2NE1). Lee Hong-ki’s character is named “Jeremy”and is a gyopo (Korean living abroad) from England. His father is anupper-class Englishman while his mother was once a famous model, and hegrew up well-off.
Lee says his fellow FT Island bandmates arecheering him on, and are looking at his role with particular interestbecause they also have an interest in acting. He described the pull hefeels to both being a singer and actor: “When I am performing as asinger, I feel a thrill standing onstage, and as I act, I feelaffection for the television screen.”
I wonder if Lee Hong-ki’scasting was at all influenced positively by another actress, Choi Ran,who is a Hong sisters favorite. Choi has appeared in three of theirdramas: She played Jae Hee’s mother in Chun-hyang, Lee Dong-wook’s auntin My Girl, and Jang Geun-seok’s loyal servant in Hong Gil Dong. Shealso played Lee Hong-ki’s mother in 2004’s Freezing Point, and has alsobeen cast in You’re Beautiful as the aunt to Park Shin-hye’s twincharacters.
Speaking of whom, You’re Beautiful is also drawingattention for its writing team, the Hong sisters (Hong Mi-ran, HongJung-eun) who have now penned four successful romantic-comedy dramas.While their dramas have had their flaws, I have greatly enjoyed themall, and consider their writing style to be at the top of the trendygenre. They don’t give up on their characters halfway through or copout of storylines, which unfortunately is not always true in othertrendy dramas. They also have an ability to keep twists funny and thepace fast and exciting, and have been lucky with casting charismaticlead actors with strong chemistry (Jae Hee, Lee Da-hae, Lee Dong-wook,Han Ye-seul, and Kang Ji-hwan, among others).
I hope their streak extends to You’re Beautiful, which premieres on Wednesday, October 7.
