[News] Jay's thoughts on his acting, his Korean, and possible future roles

"I don't think of myself as an actor yet. My acting is still lacking."

Jaebum, held a Hype Nation press conference on the afternoon of the 22nd. 

Hype Nation is a Korean American joint project and will be shown in 3D. His role in the movie goes by the name of 'Darkness,' the leader of the Korean b-boy team. The movie is about a battle against American b-boys at an international b-boy conference held in Korea.

Jaebum stated, "I'm still lacking, not enough to be called a movie actor. However, when I monitor my own acting, I don't think it's as awkward as I thought. I'm glad that I'm able to participate in a movie about dancing. The hardest part about filming was when I was coughing or tumbling while I had no strength and almost getting hurt." 

Regarding his character, Jaebum stated, "Darkness is the antagonist. He's a bit different from me except the dancing part."

Jaebum is also planning to work as a singer in Korea, having recently contracted with the nation's best management agency, Sidus HQ.

He stated that he has been practicing Korea harder than ever in order to participate in more movies in Korea.

"I'm still not that great with Korean. I think I need to study more Korean if I want to do movies. I don't have a lot of lines in this movie but most of it is in Korean. I hope I get more opportunities to be able to act in Korean. "

When asked what role he would like to play, "I'd like to play comedy. I like to joke around a lot in general so a role that can make people laugh would be great."

He also stated, "I met Korean b-boys for the first time and realized why they're the world's best. I first started b-boying for fun but after meeting them, I thought that I need to dance more passionately."

Jaebum did not comment on questions regarding his Myspace controversy last year.

Details revealed in article titles but not in the actual article:

재범 "덤블링하다 머리로 착지할 뻔 했다"
Jay almost fell on his head while tumbling, which is one of the 'hardships' mentioned.

재범 눈물, '너무 긴장했나?.. 기침 후 눈물 흘려'
His 'coughing' was because he was so nervous, he coughed to the point of crying.
