[News] Heo Young Saeng Has No Confidence in Acting?

[News] Heo Young Saeng ‘Why does everybody thinks that I’m not interested in acting?’

Heo Young Saeng, whose chicness seems endless, overcame it through sitcom. “I have no confidence in memorizing scripts” said Heo Young Saeng, who said he couldn’t do musicals, but yet had successfully completed it. Just like this, Heo Young Saeng builds up his self-confidence bit by bit.

Heo Young Saeng who revealed in an interview as he releases his last album that he “has no confidence in memorizing scripts”, was later casted in musical ‘Three Musketeers’ and transformed into a musical actor. Heo Young Saeng, whom we’ve came face to face once again, laughed as he said “It was alright. While it was facinating, I memorized by hard too”

Heo Young Saeng said “Even up till now, i can still remember the lines (in the script). I forget the lines in the sitcom after a while, but i remember the lines for musical even until now. It could be because I have been constantly practicing it. After all it was for a period of 2 months. I can also remember all the fencing strokes, i probably memorized them better than the lines.”

He said, “And above all, I think its because I have met good people and have been in a good production. Hence i had more motivation. The pressure and tension that I was experiencing had all been covered up by the actors.” while expressing his gratitude.

Regarding the sitcom, Heo Young Saeng revealed, “Honestly, being in the sitcom wasn’t as bad either. The amount of makeup is not too much of a concern. Before participating in the sitcom, when speaking to the writers, they told me that even though i’m a singer, the character given to me may not be a elegant one. I thought about the reality of how a singer may look cool on stage, but after coming down from stage, the singer is just another ordinary person.”

In response to the words “Not interested in acting”, Heo Young Saeng told us “I used to have a little interest in acting. I wanted to try. But people thought i have no interest in acting. I’ve always wanted to try, but people didn’t think that way. In fact, I’m quite interested.”

He said “That is because I probably don’t appear to be as interesting. Whenever we have a musical performance, i thought, ‘You’re going against the villian today’, ‘You’re going to have a affectionate scene’, it makes me excited. Now, while shooting sitcom i will think to myself ‘You’re going to see your girlfriend’. Since i cannot do things such as being in a romance in reality, being able to do that while in a sitcom seems good too.”

Heo Young Saeng who was on the musical stage and in a sitcom for a period has once again returned as a singer. Despite revealing his desires in acting, his mercenary spirit as a singer was as strong as before. In particular, the album concept, planning, organization and so on, Heo Young Saeng has been directly involved in the overall production and has his name reflected in the producing line.

Heo Young Saeng said “As compared to the other or the last album, it will be good if the current album gets credit. I hope I can show you my improvements a little by little.”

[News] Heo Young Saeng Tells What it’s Like as a Solo Artist

Heo Young Saeng tells ‘No Cut News’ what it’s like as a soloist without SS501

SS501‘s Heo Young Saeng recently sat down with ‘No Cut News‘ for an interview discussing not only his “Crying” comeback, but his efforts to make his mark as a soloist after having already reached the top with SS501.

Heo Young Saeng began, “SS501′s music style was completely different to the style that I had wanted so it wasn’t as difficult as I thought to shed the group colors out of my music. Although it’s my second album now, I tried to put out music that I personally wanted.”

He participated in the album’s overall production starting from the planning to the final concepts. Not only did he personally collect each song included in the album, but was also involved with the production and lyric writing process as well. Although he wanted to go with “Intimidated” as his title track, he ended up picking the medium pop R&B track “Crying”.

“I deliberated over the two for a long while, but I just chose ‘Crying’ as the title track because I liked the melody. I think my one year long hiatus played a large part because my last album was melody-centered and I felt that the change would be too big if I came out with such transformation with ‘Intimidated’ the following year. I tried not to be stubborn with it since a lot of people said they liked ‘Crying’ better as well (laughter).”

As he felt that he could’ve improved the performance aspect of his promotions last time, he focused on just that with “Crying”, jumping and shouting right along with the crowd.

On the prospect of a concert, he continued, “When I was promoting with SS501, I stood before a larger crowd on a larger stage. Now that I know that the numbers have decreased, I can’t just go ahead and plan one. I also don’t have much solo tracks yet (laughter). I want to release more albums and build myself up more.”

Concluding the interview, he stated, “Someone told me that if you’re not able to come out from the past, you’ll never be able to stand on your own. That you need to throw away your previous feelings and start over as if you’re making a new start. Fortunately, I was able to let go of all of that quickly. Although there are disappointing aspects, I feel more satisfied with having my opinions reflected in my music. I won’t focus on the past and instead fulfill myself.”
