MinSun "Academy Nights" Interview in Japan

English Translation from susamerica@soompi.com:

Of course, I am only translating Korean that is spoken:

@1:52 (maybe question was the difficult parts about acting in BOF)

GHS: When my character was being picked on…
LMH: In contrast, my character often picked on and bothered others and they were stressful

@2:21 (perhaps, question is how similar/different from their BOF roles)

LMH: The personalities are basically different. But I like to relate like friends, so having small arguments back and forth does resemble me.
GHS: I am similar because she is energetic and eats well...it is not a round kick..but when I was attending school.... (somehow they cut the rest of her sentence!)

@3:05 (both roam the store to pick out their favorite movies?)

GHS: Romantic comedies…with Julia Roberts. More than Brigette Jones..Ahh, Pretty Woman, but…
LMH: I enjoyed Carribbean …In Japan they call it Sword
(I do not know what movies he is picking so these names are probably wrong.)

@3:29
GHS: Ahh....Slam Dunk. I like Slam Dunk. (I wonder if that is a basket ball movie??)
LMH: There are no Korean movies.

@3:47 Minho’s choices

LMH: When you have no energy, this is the movie to see. It will help you to get energized again so I would recommend it. Next one is Korean movie called Sweet Life. This is the kind of movie that I would love to challenge myself to play in the future. Next one is Close Zero. I enjoyed reading the comic book during high school and now it is out in a movie. I enjoyed reading Close Zero and SOS and now they are made into movies. My last choice is titled Sae kkee in Korean ? (I do not know what it means so I just sounded out the spelling.) It may have some stimulating parts, but it is a movie about a heartbreaking love story.
(He likes the manly movies and a sexy romantic movie.)

@5:59 GHS’s choices

GHS: I tend to like “Jung Juk In” movies (either movies tend to be quieter or more emotional—I would imagine she prefers movies that deal with emotions.) These movies that I have chosen are about human relationships. For example, Closer is about a real person’s story. Second one is Benjamin Button which tells a great story of a person from an unrealistic situation. The third one is Blue Warning (?) which is a lovely love story about human relationship.
(It seems like she enjoys movies that examines psychology of humans and human relationships more carefully.)

@7:34 (Question might be which Japanese actor/director would you like to work with?)

LMH: For me I saw many productions by Kimura Takao (sp??)
GHS: If I were to do a project, I would love to co-star with female actors such as Imao (? I think she is referring to the Japanese actress who played the lead on Hana Yori Dango??) and make stories about women.

(I really do hope she makes movies that really delve into stories of women, especially Asian women today, etc.)

@7:52 (perhaps the question is what do movies mean for you?)

LMH: Movies carry teachings, lessons about life…
GHS: For me also, movies can be meaningful in self-reflection.

(Now, I understand why the title of this show is called . Academy refers to the award for the best movies, right??)
