Special Thanks to Wenny and Jessica

1.Emcee: How's the injury on your leg?

BYJ: ( In Japanese) Much better, don't worry (Laugh)

Emcee: You've been studying Japanese?

BYJ: Yes, I can speak a little bit.


2. After the emcee introduced BYJ and he pointed to the right and the screen shows the segment from the filming. But just after the emcee pointed to right, wuri YJ followed him and did the same gesture and then he himself bursted into laugh.

3. The emcee let YJ introduce MSR and LJA to come out. The dress MSR wore was the same style as she wore in the NHK press conference, but in different color. YJ said when he asked MSR and LJA come to the stage, he felt like he was calling for his concubines coming out.

MSR: My deepest impression among the scenes in this drama is when Kiha and Damdeok seperated in Altar. When Damdoek told Kiha that his heart dropped into desperation, I felt very grieved.

BYJ: The scence in that Altar also gives me deep impression. What Kiha told Damdoek let me feel deeply depressed.

LJA: The deepest impression to me is when Sujini came to see Damdeok before leaving and Sujini was in a pretty dress. When Sujini looked at Damdeok, the man she loves but can no longer get close to, I felt my heart would break.

4. BYJ, MSR and LJA talked about the costume in the Drama

BYJ: I feel it is easier for me to get into my role when I wear the custome. When I is in the armor, I feel more powerful. Different customes give me difference feelings. But I like to wear the custome of ordinary people more, cuz it gives me the feeling of pleasure.

MSR: The cross strips on the chest means the restriction to the people from the God. The costome is white, so I have to wear it carefully. When I was walking, I have to pull it up a little bit and when I was eating, I should bow my body in order not to get any splashes of food on it.
The costume is light,but when you wear it, you will feel the intense responsibility as being a priestess. It was really cold to wear it in winter.

LJA: I rarely wore this costume in the filming. This one was only used when I filmed the poster and in the Osaka Event. But I like almost all the costome of Sujini. Wearing them let me feel lighted up and also i can move about freely in those costomes.

MSR: I can not move freely in Kiha's costume, but Sujini doesn't need to worry about moving around.

LJA: Sujini has her own worries, if that costome gets any dirt, it is very hard to clean it.

5. Among all the lines in this drama, which one gives the deepest impression.

BYJ: Before the war, Damdeok told all his soldiers that please don't die and try your best to stay with me. This is the order from your king.


LJA: When Damdoek and Sujini were in the Altar having some drinks, Sujini told Damdoek the meaning of her name "Sujini"

6. Talk about the impression among the actors and actress.

MSR: My husband and BYJ are friend but I don't really know him so much, like I don't know which hospital he was in and he's heading to New York, etc.

BYJ: Do you know my weight? MSR is an actress among the top list in Korea.
(MSR seems a little bit embarrassing hearing this)

LJA: What kind of change do you think I should make? (asking towards BYJ)

BYJ: Why asking such a difficult question? That's the first thing you need to change.

7. PD Kim, BYJ, MSR and LJA

The Emcee asked PD Kim about the choices of the actors and actresses.

PD Kim: BYJ is a person full of character enchantment and he is a combination of gentle and manliness. MSR is the only one who fits to the role of Kiha because she is able to have immediate explosive power, and as to LJA, just because she has no experience before, there are a lot of plasticities on her.

The emcee asked BYJ's opinion on PD Kim

BYJ: I know him very well by his reputation and I've been longing to work with him for a long time. But also I heared from senior actors that PD Kim is very strict and can not allow any faults, but now I feel he is like a father and I've learned a lot from him, I feel myself grow and become mature. It's been a great experience for me to work with him. Thank you, PD Kim!

8. About TWSSG Season 2

PD Kim: when the filming was ending, I hugged with BYJ and told him that it wan't over. I still have the same feeling up to now and BYJ got the Grand Award in last year's MBC's Awards, I think as to Season 2, BYJ is the person whom you should ask to.

BYJ: Both me and PD Kim feel pity and regret. If there is TWSSG season 2, how about move the whole setting to modern society? since there is no detailed plan and thoughts, it's hard to discuss deeper.

MSR: If there is season 2, please plan it sooner, cuz my due date will be..... (She is pregnant).

9. About YJ's hair style

BYJ: I finally feels the inconvinience of the girls who wears long hair. It really causes troubles especially in the washing and drying of the hair. The reason why I still have long hair is because of the Osaka Event and also I haven't decided my next project. Actually, I have cut my hair a little bit. But I may not change my hair style until I make decision on my next project.


10. YJ's greeting to all his family members

As a actor, I feel very happy to meet with you through this work. I feel very appreciated that this drama can be aired by NHK. I will continue to work hard to present good work to all of you. Hope everyone stay in healthy and I will pray for the happiness of all of you. Thank you.
