Kim Jaejoong transformed into actor, occupying the evening drama slot by taking on his first challenge in domestic drama ‘Protect The Boss’, broadcasting after ‘City Hunter’.
- Senior actor Yoochun thinks that being relaxed is more important than advice.
In ‘Protect The Boss’, Kim Jaejoong acted as financial prince, Director Cha Mu Won. He is first cousin-related to Cha Ji Hyun (Ji Sung), but are rivals in power struggle. After Kim Jaejoong was casted, the happiest were still the JYJ members, “Recently when I met Yoochun at the hair salon, we even role-played a scene.”
Coincidentally, Park Yoochun is currenly filming for MBC’s ‘Miss Ripley’ as Director Song Yuhyun, “Aren’t we both directors? Therefore he said to me, ‘Director Cha, I am Director Song. It’s been a while, Director Cha.’ and such. (laughs) He also advised me that things might be tough due to insufficient sleep, therefore have to take good care of my health.”
Managing one’s health is important to actors and recently Kim Jaejoong is infatuated with gong-jin dan (a type of Chinese tonic that is not cheap either) that was famous in ‘Best Love’, “I have been eating the gong-jin dan properly that fans gave to me. As it is not cheap, therefore when I eat it, it feels that I will be very healthy.”
- The gathering was held and the atmosphere was high!
Before the filming begins, the cast were worried about the awkwardness, therefore the production crew of ‘Protect The Boss’ accepted Ji Sung hyung’s suggestion and everyone went on a gathering. “The atmosphere was great! Actors and staffs who went on the gathering exchanged numbers and thus became closer. After that (gathering), we would send messages and I slept with Ji Sung hyung at the gathering in just underwear. Choi Kang Hee Noona also said to me, ‘I’ve always heard about Jaejoong being 4th dimensional, and it is indeed like this after meeting. (laughs)’.”
As the youngest at the filming site, but the atmosphere creator turns out to be Ji Sung. “From the script reading session, Senior Ji Sung have been making the atmosphere a happy one and Senior Cha Hwa Yong and Park Yong Kyu also gave me a lot of advices, this made me very grateful (to them). This drama’s genre was supposed to be romantic and a bit of funny, thus during the script reading, it was filled with laughters.”
- Ideal type? Compared to Seo Na Yoon, I prefer No Eun Sul!
In ‘Protect The Boss’, Kim Jaejoong worked with both Choi Kang Hee (acting as No Eun Sul) and Wang Ji Hye (acting as Seo Na Yoon). Kim Jaejoong was asked who is his ideal type between No Eun Sul and Seo Na Yoon? He replied, “Eun Sul is the type who is free-spirited and reckless, while Na Yoon is an ambitious and slightly picky woman. If I have to choose, Eun Sul would be closer to my ideal type and for girls like Na Yoon who is vey ambitious and possessive, it must be difficult to get along with. But if the two characters were to blend, it will be good.”
When asked about his recent ideal type, Kim Jaejoong replied, “A good first impression that she is a good woman. I was absorbed in that charisma when I watched ‘Ladies of the Palace’ in the past. At that time, Senior Kang Soo Yeon and Jun In Hwa should be my ideal type. I don’t think there are any drastic changes to it even now.”

lately..he says different things about his ideal type..cant you say you want a foreign girl oppa? xD
oppa once said a long time ago: “when two people are in love, nationality doesn’t matter, age doesn’t matter, sex doesn’t matter”
are you reading fanfics a little too much?
so far all his interviews that I’ve read since I’ve been his fans
since 2006, he only said that when one is in love
AGE doesnt matter.
Hahaha! “Aren’t we both directors? Therefore he said to me, ‘Director Cha, I am Director Song. It’s been a while, Director Cha.’ and such. (laughs)
Love it! Hmmm…article makes out their advices and convos to be so formal though. lmao. Can’t imagine Soulmates as formal as it makes them out to be
Love these Jae articles! Can’t wait!!
wow~~~4D
‘I slept with Ji
Sung hyung at the gathering in just
underwear.’ should have changed ‘with’ to ‘next to’ uld have changed ‘with’ to ‘next to’
lol…dangerous, isn’t it?
Hahahaha .. I agree xD
“‘I slept with Ji Sung hyung at the gathering in just underwear.’ ”
LOL! He does LOVE to keep referring to this, doesn’t he?This is like the third time now… and I loved his earlier comment about “Having already done it once, what does it matter if we do it again?” (paraphrasing) Jaejoong, you are a NUT!
You gals are cracking me up!
Me too, naughty gals
yes Jae, you should be taking care of yourself. You are looking better and better, just rest and eat well.
I just can’t imagine the amount of pressure that he must be in, the other two turn to him for support and he has to be strong for the sake of them all. I worry for him, in the last month he had been looking quite haggard but now it seems like he is relaxing and feeling better.
I know. It is very strange. I’m thinking that the KBS Jeju fiasco just…….turned his brain off. He thinks about a lot of things and constantly worries but never shares it with others as Junsu and Yoochun have said.
I’m thinking the moment KBS did this stunt he felt anger/disappoinment, then he calmed down but was probably still upset. Then he decided to just let it be and not let any anger control him- hence his own promotion for Jeju Island. I’m not proclaiming that he is an angel- he is human and has feelings like anyone else so I’m not saying he just let the upset feelings go overnight.
I think he meditated and decided to not fight KBS on this. Maybe he even had a feeling that something like this would happen. With an upcoming drama and an album I’m thinking he decided that stressing out or losing sleep over something JYJ by themselves cannot change is a waste of energy. He really has been looking much better lately.
I hope it continues because I find that this situation has aged him.

I agree. Jae is human after all, like his fans. He must have undergone the same stress, anger, frustration, sadness we fans went through. But being sensible and responsible, he chose to rise above these troubles and took the responsibility to pacify the fans, even encourage them to continue their support for Jeju. As a result, he received so much praise from all over, even from non-fans. With his sufficient experience in the industry Jae has learned to survive in the most CLASSY and POISED way. I remember, JYJ was[ still are] consistently admired for their humility and good manners everywhere they go.
Jae continue to be healthy and daze us with your looks, aura, acting in Protect the Boss. Fighting!
lol ofc soulmates would role-play, those dorks. <3 i'm glad jae is having fun on set.
She “says I’m being 4th dimensional” — so when is Jae ever NOT 4D? It’s his trademark.
Also, I think SM timed all this for the start of Jae’s drama to mess with his mind so he wouldn’t be able to focus. Jae is very intentionally forcing his mind to stay clear and focused. Seems that it is wearing on him inside, though. What’s with the big bags under his eyes recently?
“Senior actor Yoochun” LOL keke
I want to see him playing role-play with Yoochun!!
I’m glad that he keeps on looking better each day, it feels like he’s now able to not let problems affecting him anymore.
Keep on being healthy, Jaejoong oppa. Show those stupid arrogant people how to act classy and show them what they miss from you…
Hwaiting!! ^_^
And it’s been a long time since I see Jae being a 4D, if only there’s a video of it… T_T
Jaejoong Fighting!
“Aren’t we both directors? Therefore he said to me, ‘Director Cha, I am Director Song. It’s been a while, Director Cha.’ and such. (laughs)”. SOULMATE always fooling around
