Goo Hye Sun's Japan Interview (09/07/09)

Hwang Yong Hee Reporter of Asia Economy News interviewed GHS alone in Japan, perhaps after the BOF Premier Event. Her news article is posted on Sept 7, 2009 at 1:30 PM.

Headline: 구혜선 일본 인터뷰,"항상 저는 새로운 것을 꿈꾸고, 또 새롭게 세상을 바라봅니다"
Headline: GHS Japan Interview, "I Always Dream New Dreams and I look at the World in a New Way."

Reporter Hwang noticed in GHS' face so much happiness and excitement when she met her in Yokohama. It must be because she is at the location of the BOF fan meeting and because of her successful ending of the concert with Isao Sasaki of her own compositions. Reporter met with Goo on the 7th of September at the Yokohama Intercontinental Grand Hotel for a special interview on her "hopes and dreams".

If the drama BOF is the masterpiece that created GHS, her collaborative musical work with Isao Sasaki lays the foundation for GHS as the movie maker and artist. The result of such collaboration is her CD Breathe, which will set the tone for her new musical movie....

GHS has been talking much and spreading the news about her passion to make a movie. She has already perfected the script for her movie tentatively titled, . There is much more work to be done to make the movie a reality. She must get more investors, must do some PR work to secure actors/actresses, and,basically, there are tons to do. "However, such work in itself makes me very happy and very excited for what is yet to come!"

Regarding her collaboration with Isao Sasaki, GHS states, "I still cannot fully realize what happened! But, I learned so much and I was able to fully satisfy within myself different types of expectations that I had. I also feel relieved and happy that I have prepared the musical foundation for my future movie. The new CD titled is a result of 20 years of work and preparation. I may not have received professional training, but I have loved working and playing music for a very long time."

(She must have started learning to play piano when she was either 5 or 6 years old!!)

GHS stated that, although she may have the global structure for her movie ready, however, it may take her some time to really concretize and finalize all the details. She has yet to meet a satisfactory investor and she must go after full-scale for the lead actor/actress.

GHS is totally against turning herself into both director and the lead for her movie at the same time. "I still do not fully believe in myself. I still need to study a little more. Challenging myself to direct a movie itself is an incredible uphill battle for me, but to also act in such a scenario is close to impossible".

GHS, as most people know, initially dreamed of becoming a singer. She does have a beautiful voice for singing. "However, while I was producing my CD BREATHE, I realized few things."

"I was going to sing my own song for the CD. However, when I heard Gummy-ssi sing my title song, , I realized that professional singers are definitely different. I can sing but the professionals can breathe the life into a song and make a difference."

"Because of the success of BOF, I am invited to many places. Coming to an event like this was also an invitation. That is why I travel a lot and see so many new things. Yokohama is a beautiful and relaxiing city. The city is so well organized. Due to BOF, many people recognize me and, for that, I am very happy. With more opportunities and invitations, I hope to travel more and to see and learn more."

"But, due to the breakout of various types of flues, I feel bad that many promotional activities have been cancelled. This past spring in Taiwan, they were planning to have a 'shake hands' promotional event. But such event can easily and possibly pass the unwanted virus and so such events were cancelled. So far, as many as 4 or 5 promotional activities including Philippines (how sad) and Thailand have been cancelled for me."

"No matter what, I am always thankful for each day" GHS is a passionate and extremely hard-working person who tries her best. Through the interview with GHS, this reporter felt that hope comes from dealing with every new challenge.Reporter also senses the power of Korean Entertainment Industry rushing towards GHS's dedication to her dreams and the reporter dreams of "POWER GHS".
