Changmin challenged his first period drama in SWWTN. Following after TOHOSHINKI Yunho, the Changmin who is waiting to be enlisted. He who promised to make a leap in his career as a singer and as an actor, his present thoughts are captured!

— What attracted you to (participate in) SWWTN?
C: Before I enlist, when I was considering the kind of works that would be available for me to choose, I heard that the synopsis of SWWTN has really good review, and that I may play the character Lee Yoon, I was really attracted by it then. From the cute appearance that was shown in the beginning (of the drama), to the appearance of fierce conflicts with his servants in order to survive in the palace, the role (of the character) is really broad, that was also the attraction point, and I really wanted to do it.

— Recent topic of interest is about your recently revealed sturdy abs. How was the reaction of the people around you?
C: Fans were really happy about it. Although they seemed to enjoy it very much whenever I take off a piece of clothing (laugh), but because it takes great effort in working out to maintain that body physique, please don’t say that you want me to take it off anymore. Because I’ll take it off myself (if I want to)! (laugh)

— Plans for activities in Japan after this?
C: In Japan, the plan is to continue my activities as a singer as TOHOSHINKI, as Changmin who is the member (of TOHOSHINKI). Once I participated in a Japanese movie and the fans were really happy about it, so if there’s an opportunity, I would be happy to take the challenge as an actor in Japan as well.

Full interview will be revealed in “Ori🌟Star”, an entertainment magazine, 11/30 issue (11/20 on sale)
