Yeah, everyone (who’s in their right mind) must love Hwang Jung Min too, I’m not surprised, but happy because Baek Sung Hyun admits it. Bromance, FTW! *wwwww!*
But you know what’s funny? Remember Baek Sung Hyun’s role in “That Fool”, Sang Chul came from Australia, right? Have you ever wondered what he was doing there? Well, check out the video clip posted in March, featuring Choi Jung Won, “Sydney In Love” out! Ah~ so that’s probably before Sang Chul visits Ji Su in Seoul, he was studying photography in Sydney. WwwwwWwwwWwwww……… ;)
“Learned how to play (pose) by watching Hwang Jung Min sunbaenim acted in front of the camera”
In the recent interview with Sports Hankook, actor Baek Sung Hyun (21) talks about how he maintains his strong, muscular body, how his debut first started, and of course, his fellow co-star, whom he friendly calls “Hyung” (close older friend/older brother).
Baek Sung Hyun, who capture the heart of all the young girls with his six-pack ‘chocolate’ body in “That Fool”, says that he has always liked to exercise about 6 hours a day. He doesn’t do it only in gym, but just whenever he has the time for it. 3 hours weight-training, or just playing basketball for 3 hours to fulfill the exercise time slot for the day. Along with his father, he plays soccer on the weekends too sometimes, while maintaining a good diet to reduce the body fat.
After “That Fool” ended, Baek Sung Hyun is now enjoying plenty of time to relax. “My father taught me to play soccer ever since I was 3. This body has been trained to be active ever since,” Baek Sung Hyun said. In his first movie, “울학교 이티” (Our School E.T), his role emphasizes on being a boxer, therefore though he’s not that familiar with boxing, once again he received training to prepare for his role.
Baek Sung Hyun was the first cast for “Our School E.T”. Then came Oh Sang Hun, Lee Min Ho, Park Bo Young and others. Before the shooting, he had to go to a boxing school and actually had a personal trainer. Baek Sung Hyun said that “Our School E.T.” brings a special memory since it was his first movie that he appeared with other young actors such as Lee Min Ho and Park Bo Young. The three of them recently soar to stardom because of their strong acting performance.
“I’m an A-type, and I like to keep contact with people first… it’s probably a natural thing for people with blood type A. So sometimes I like to call them up just to see how they’re doing. I believe that one day we’ll work together again. I’m looking forward to it,” he expressed his thought.
When he was asked about how well he performed in “That Fool” and also about his hot body, Baek Sung Hyun laughed and said, “황정민 선배의 팬이 됐어요.” (I’m a fan of Hwang Jung Min sunbaenim). “Both of us did a lot of ad-lib (not scripted) scenes, but a lot of them didn’t make the cut during editing. But it was such a great opportunity to meet a great actor like Hwang Jung Min. Jung Min hyung! Let’s call often!”
Lastly he closed the interview with this, “I like sports a lot, so I prefer to have a girlfriend who can stay active and likes to ‘move around a lot’. So we can enjoy sports together.” Those are some of his criteria of ideal girlfriend. “But of course, friendships are precious. To be the perfect girlfriend, one has to be the other person’s best friend.”
Indeed! ^^
Baek Sung Hyun seems like a pretty cool guy who loves all his friends. He’s in his youth with a bright future in front of him. And I do think his role in “That Fool” is actually perfect for him. Playing the bad-temper, over-protective younger brother to his noona… ah~ can’t stretch enuf how I heart this series. Hope to see Baek Sung Hyun’s future projects whether in dramas or movies! ^^
