ㅡ I heard that you've watched all of the episodes in the previous season of Iris 1. Tell me the feelings when you were caste into Iris 2 and the reason why you chose to agree to play the role.
DuJun: I thought it was an honor when I heard that I was cast into the drama because I saw the work (season 1). That's why I decided to accept the role.
ㅡ What do you think is 「IRIS 2」's charms or differences to「IRIS」and it's spin-off drama「ATHENA -아테나-」?
DuJun: In the basic aspects there are similarities to it but all of these works have amazing actors and actress in it, and I think all of them have their own styles in acting. Also, I feel that 「IRIS 2」has a stronger spy concept than the previous work.
ㅡ You visited different overseas locations, rural cities in Korea, and so on but which place left a deep impression on you?
DuJun: Cambodia. I went there with Lee BumSoo sunbae-nim, but we were filming pursuit and action scenes in 40° C temperature..... I believe that the staffs also had a hard time. It was tiring but it was still fun for me.
ㅡ In being cast to「IRIS 2」, where there any action movies that you referred too? I heard that you enjoy foreign action dramas such as「24」.
DuJun: I watched Hong Kong movies and also「24」which was recommended by JangHyuk sunbae-nim. I just watched for fun rather than using it as a reference.
ㅡ You are a singer as a member of BEAST, but were you normally interested in acting?
DuJun: Of course. I thought that I would never get the chance to act, but I heard much about it and I consider the chance to be cast into this amazing work a great honor!!
― I think that you might have felt pressured in acting alongside veteran actors like JangHyuk or Lee BumSoo. How was it like when you acted with them? Tell us an episode.
DuJun: I felt very pressured. I am originally a fan of JangHyuk sunbae-nim and Lee BumSoo sunbae-nim. Not only those two, but the other actors & actresses also. I felt really pressured that I would have to act alongside them but they were very good to me. Comfortable like a hometown sunbae or older brother. That's why I believe I was able to film without much difficulty. There wasn't much to do at overseas locations so we talked a lot together. We also drank (alcohol) together too. I feel that these experiences would be a plus to my life.
― Seo HyunWoo is a perfect, manly character as an elite. Were there any similarities or differences between your character and yourself?
DuJun: It was mainly different. I am far from an elite or a perfect guy. [Seo HyunWoo] is like a dream guy... well, HyunWoo's concept was like that, but I think he won't appear like that because I acted him.
― How did you prepare or set up your mental attitude to act as HyunWoo?
DuJun: I put a lot of effort into the action (scenes). I was able to do what they taught me because my sense of movement isn't that bad, but I think strength/stamina is more important than techniques.
― Was there a scene where you thought you came out well?
DuJun: There were.... no scenes... like that! Um... but I was embarrassed a tiny bit of the scene in the rain.
― Other scenes that you remember?
DuJun: I remember most of the scenes. There were small scale action scenes but many were on a grand scale. Such as the pursuit scene... those scenes leave an impression. The most memorable is the gunshot. Even with earplugs I could hear the loud noise but when they had to do a close shot of me, I had to take them off... which made it hard for me to listen for the next few hours [after the filming].
― During the filming with high tension, how did you normally relax or relieve your stress?
DuJun: Above all things, by sleeping!! Because strength is the most important. There were many dangerous scenes where you could get hurt if you weren't tensed. That's why I thought it'd be best to recover my strength even by just a little.
― Did the members of BEAST give any comments on your acting or on「IRIS 2」?
DuJun: For at least 3 weeks the members told me that they couldn't watch because of their busy schedule. But they told me that it was very good and fabulous. Also they joked that my role is so different from my actual image by saying 'It doesn't fit you,' or 'it's awkward.'
― Do you want to continue on as an actor? Is there a genre or role that you want to try out next?
DuJun: Of course, that's why I started my acting career. It has a lot of charms and I can say that it's a new challenge. So I want to experience all types of genres.
― It's been confirmed that Iris 2 will be aired in Japan too. Tell the Japanese viewers on where to focus on or where they should look forward to and「IRIS 2」's charms.
DuJun: Other than falling for the spy action genre, I hope you can watch all of the episodes without missing even one episode. That's why you can understand the whole story. Please focus while watching the drama.
― A message for the audience who are looking forward to 「IRIS 2」!
DuJun: I am Yoon DuJun of BEAST who plays Seo HyunWoo in 「IRIS 2」. I feel it as an honor to be able to greet everyone like this. 「IRIS 2」 is a wonderful work, so please look forward to it!
― You became a rival to YooGeon acted by JangHyuk over SooYeon acted by Lee DaHae. What did you do to try to look more mature [in the drama], as there is an age gap between the others and you in reality.
DuJun: There wasn't a problem from the outside [appearance], right? (Laughs) Both JangHyuk sunbae-nim and Lee DaHae sunbae-nim look young for their age. It's only that, it was the hardest to overcome the age gap. There isn't a huge gap though... DaHae sunbae-nim was like an 'older sister' (nuna) to me so she took care of me a lot; to act comfortably. I really thank her for it.
