J : Jiyong

I : Finally we meet the one whom we missed a lot. Hi, Ko Jiyong

J : Hello

I : Nice to meet you

J : As you can see, I lost so much weight and I also didn’t dye my hair. I don’t know if I look nice or not but I try to look nice

I : How have you been?

J : I travelled a lot, I practiced acting and I also met my schoolmates and my hometown friends whom I didn’t get to meet for so long

J : Both acting and singing are hard. Even though I haven’t properly acted, as I keep learning, it does make me think that it’s a hard thing to do. Until now, I haven’t got the hang of it

J : I don’t have the confidence for it now, but I want to try a crying acting. I don’t know whether it’s because I’m a man but I found a charismatic actor is really cool. Such as Ahn Seunggi, Park Jungwoo and Jung Woosung

I : All Sechskies members have appeared in so many shows. Is there any reason why you came appeared way later than them?

J : I want to appear once I’m prepared for it, hoping for a good result

I : How do you feel while recording for Kang Sunghoon’s album?

J : First of all, us in a recording room together has been so long. It’s almost 2 years. It was really refreshing. During the recording for Sechskies’ 2^nd album was so hard, we were only high-schoolers back then

I : Do you keep touch with other Sechskies members?

J : We keep in touch even though we didn’t get to meet each other a lot after we disbanded, since we have other things to do.

I : Do they tell you what are they up to?

J : I don’t really know the details of what Jaejin hyung is doing yet. Jiwon hyung and Sunghoon are promoting as a solo. Suwon and Jaeduk hyung are promoting as a duo

I : We got an information that you’re filming a mini series, your fans were so excited but there was a problem caused the filming to be cancelled. What happened?

J : I was almost to be casted on a mini-series. It’s because I feel like the characters didn’t match me so I gave it up. I need more time to practice acting.

I : You were active as an internet jockey. Can you explain what kind of program is it?

J : First of all, it’s a law program aired on channel O. Since i’m originally close with Kwon Hyunggi (lawyer) and the deputy head so I ended up working with them.

I : it must’ve been hard to do that kind of program. Did you experience any hard things?

J : of course. Since I know nothing about law. I also had a hard time trying to understand difficult words. But I learned a lot in short times. From a person who doesn’t know anything about law now I now a little bit about it. I used to talk really fast but now I talk more slowly. Since I talked too fast, I made a lot of mistakes (NG) during filming. I thought “ah before I learned anything, I have to fix this first”. It’s been a huge help for me.

I : Eun Jiwon laughed when he knew about you were doing a law program

J : i think it’s natural for him to do that. Even my sister, family and my friends all laughed at me. So I kinda expected Jiwon hyung to do the same

I : Kim Jaeduk was asked about how he feels seeing Eun Jiwon performing as a solo. And he answered that Eun Jiwon looks lonely

J : I also felt the same when I saw Jiwon hyung’s first stage but as I keep watching his performance, I thought that he’s cool

I : Kang Sunghoon is also performing a solo with different genre compared to Sechskies used to had. He transformed into a ballad singer. What do you think of him?

J : During Sechskies’ days, he’s known to be the cute and bright one. So, when he sings ballad songs, I thought “he’s all grown up now”

I : Please send Kang Sunghoon a video message, thinking that he’s watching the show

J : Sunghoon-ah, it’s been so long. Calling your name has also been so long. We’ve known each other and been friends for 12 years already since we’ve met during 3^rd grade. Anyway, seeing you doing well while performing a solo makes me proud and feels good. So, let’s work harder in the future. I wish you to be Kang Sunghoon who shines brighter as a solo

I : Have you ever had the thought of wanting to stand on stage again as a singer?

J : Of course I’m reminded with the memories from old days. But I don’t have that kind of thought for now.

I : It’s for now. But we don’t know what will happen in the future

J : I don’t know but i don’t think I’ll ever do that again, most likely.

I : Please tell us your activities plan in the future

J : First of all, I’ll study harder in acting. Until I think that I’m prepared enough, I’ll keep practicing. I don’t know whether a drama or movie will be the start but since my wish is a movie so I hope it comes true.

I : Can you at least tell us around what time will we expect your first work?

J : I think it’ll probably be around next year

I : Okay last one, please greet your beloved fans and our viewers.

J : It’s nice to see you all after so long. I’ll be Jiyong who works hard in other side of entertainment industry. I hope you all support me

I : Thank you so much. I wish you to be a cool actor
