Yonsama, the most sparkling star I've ever met!
Fascinated by TWSSG
Reporter: What's your impression of Mr. BYJ before you hosted this special event?
Omura: Among all his works, I've completed Winter Sonata. and then, the host of ‘Tokudane" Mr. Okura refered me to another work of BYJ, i.e. Hotelier.（“Tokudane is a Japanese Tamasha)
BYJ played the role of Frank Shin in Hotelier who is ruthless but smart which gives me favourable impression. Last year in "Tokudane", I learned about that he got hurt during his filming of TWSSG when he fell down from a horseback. In the meanwhile, I know that BShi had begun the air of TWSSG which really interested me and I've watched it every other week. Now since NHK put it on air, I've been watching it every week.
I think BYJ's role in Winter Sonata is really amiable which arouses people's maternal instincts.
Reporter: What your feeling was when you were picked to be the host of this premium event?
Omura: At the first moment, I had no idea about the scope and numbers of participants of this event. Learning that there would be 35,000 people, I really felt it's totally beyond my ability. And then when it was decided that I would be the host, I began to re-watch the discs of this drama which I borrowed from my friend. I was totally fascinated by it and I myself became the fan of Mr. BYJ. I was quite sure that I would be highly competent to arose some topic in this premium event once I knew that I felt fond of BYJ.
The scene in the drama which really gives me deep impression is Damdeok's appearance in the casino in episode 4. As a person who is in succession to the throne, he still enters into the ordinary people's lives which really impressed me. And in episode 6, the king instructed Damdeok that he was born with the expectation and he could not choose his own fate, his life and his love at his own will which made me feel heartbreak. Also, the scene in polo court is worthy seeing as well. I've watched Jumong whose historial background is earlier than that of TWSSG. To Japanese, the history inflecting in this drama is quite unfamiliar, but since BYJ plays the role, it will definitely attract the audience's attention.It is not easy to finish 24 episodes within a short period of time. I've been watching this drama intermittently since last year, so this time I will just pick some unseen episodes. I've got a good memory so almost all the storylines are in my mind now. Even though, when I saw BYJ's imagie as Hwan ong in first episode, I was shocked.
Reporter: How's your view towards Hallyu dramas?
Omura: I feel they are in the same mode and same storyline. Although Hallyu really hits the whole Asian Market, its future can be predicted. I rarely watch the Hallyu drama, but I do watch some Korean movies. I am a person who is easily to be influenced, but those drama are so likewise,even I've seen them, I would not be amazed by them. But the historial drama is an exception. They are novelties to me. and from last year, I began to feel " Hallyu can last longer than it thinks. Hallyu can become popular again."
Reporter: You met with Mr BYJ before the premium event, what did you two communicate about?
Omura: I met him at the rehearsal on May 31. He has really long hair. At first I didn't know that it was him. But when I saw his smile, his pure white teeth, I realized instantly it must be him. I felt a little bit nervous and I remembered that I greeted him in my limited Korean:"I am the host Omura, drama, moved, drama, greatly moved." When I told him about those affecting scenes, he came to me and shaked hands with me. I was astonished by his action. He, such a famous star, shaked hands with me initiatively. I was sweating all over and my hands were wet and also I felt the power of his hand. I was greatly moved by the feeling of shaking hands with him. To me, he is reachless,but facing him in front of me, I felt that he was so modest and easy to approach which totally suprised me. He is the most sparkling star I've ever met! But I am not saying that he is hard to get close, what I mean is once you get closer to him, you can feel that your heart is opened and refreshed.
reporter: During the event, have you had any discussion with the hostess Ms. Kim Tei?
Omura: Ms. Kim Tei is a specialist in hosting those kinds of event espcially with the crew from Korea. I got a lot of supports and helps from her during this job.
Since it was first time for me to meet her, I've greeted her at first and then our topic changed to the drama itself. We had a very warm discussion. We've spent one hour on the meaning behind that last episode which she held totally different opinion of mine. We have a lot of topics to discuss since both of us feel this drama is interesting. I accepted Ms. Kim Tei's interpretation of this drama which eliminated my queries as well. At last we came to one conclusion, i.e. what really matters more is the audience comprehension of this drama and the reason why we discussed and interpreted it is because we really like it. There are much more topics between us two which made it difficult for us to decide the basic procedure of the host.
After the adjustments, we were on the same pace and the conversation between me and Ms. Kim Tei had eliminated my presure and anxiety about the fact that there would be 35,000 participants in this event. I've changed my thoughts, I would join those 35,000 fans to enjoy the wonderful and precious moments and this became my motivation of my job.
Reporter: In June 2's "Tokudane", you've mentioned that you felt really anxious before the event, but what really happened before it?
Omura: Actually I just got the final procedure of this event when I was interviewed. I was so worried that I would not have enough time to review the event procedure beforehead. And then the staff from “Tokudane"came whom I had to deal with as well. I felt that I was just like a sandwich kept in the middle which really made me nervous. haha.
Reporter:Did the event undergo by your intention?
Omura: During this event, I've made several mistakes, like spoke superfluously which I am now in self-reflection. I felt that I didn't host through the view as a host but through the view as an audience of TWSSG. In a way, I feel tuned in with those fans. My aim was to let everyone have equal opportunity to make their speech. According to Mr. BYJ's words that "everything is undergoing so naturally". In one way, I can say this event is really a sucess and everyone has a good mood.
Reporter: In fact you are a passionate host.
Omura: I hope every performer can feel successful in this event. As to this point, I think it was really smooth. Those performers come from different management companies and also this event is not only for Mr. BYJ himself. I had to manage this point duirng my host. To me, I know the fans wished to spend more time with Mr. BYJ, but I couldn't speak it out. I've seen that Mr BYJ himself noticed it as well.
Reporter: Like in which occassion??
Omura: Like in the rehearsal, Mr. BYJ showed his consideration to the staff. When PD Kim made his speech, Mr. BYJ stepped back a little bit in order to let the other performers hear what PD Kim was saying clearly. When I saw this, I thought how careful and considerable he is! It's not easy to notice those details, coz if you don't observe carefully, you've never notice that.But it came out so naturally from Mr.BYJ.He is spontaneous in doing this. I think it must be his habit to be considerable to the others,not show off at all!His heartfelt smile is natural just like reencountering old buddies.
Reporter: What's the audience's reaction towards this event?
Omura: I assumed that the majority of the participants in this event are Mr. BYJ's fans. Of course those fans began to like other performers through this drama. Not only did they listen carefully to BYJ's speech, but also to the others'. When I saw this, I felt really appreciated. If those fans were Hallyu fans in one single day, there wouldn't have been so many applauses and The whole stadium was brimming over with warmth and sincerity. I felt that those fans are mature and stable which gives me a lot of strength through this event.
Reporter: When the crew were standing in that vehicle cycling the whole stadium, it must be a very impressive scene.
Omura: Yes, I saw those fans who were overwhelmingly moved, waved to Mr. BYJ and gave him the most heartfelt greetings. I myself were immersed in this happiness. As a host, I felt I really fulfilled my task in hosting this event and in the meanwhile, I was amazed to realize Mr. BYJ's popularity.
Reporter:After the event, did Mr. BYJ greet you?
Omura: Yes. After the event, he greeted me in Japanese with big smile:"Thank you so much for your help today." I greeted back to him in Korean:"Yonsama, you are really a nice person." By saying this, I felt myself in high spirit. And then, We took few pictures together. He put his arm over my shoulder and I felt the power of his arm which gave me a friendly feeling between us. And also I felt his sturdy muscles on his chest. Oh, If I were a female, I am afraid I would faint on the spot.
(*Lynn: OMG, Mr. Omura's words just gave me too much visualization...........hehe..........^_^)
And now looking back to this event, I feel substantial that I've collaborated with Mr. BYJ.
