'#SemanticError' Park #SEOHAM "The turning point in my life, became more ambitious" - SPOTV News P1 8.03.22

S: I still don't really believe it (laughs) when someone else would say that, I would think 'can they really not believe it' and was curious but I really can't believe it.

S: I still can't believe it. I went through some hardships and so every interest, reaction is so valuable and precious to me.

About the KKT chatrooms
S: Sometimes when I see the chatroom I tear up without knowing it. It's the same with DMs. When I see the fan's messages I think

S: 'is this a dream', 'is this real'. Words like 'thank you for holding on', 'thank you for being Jang Jaeyoung' all make me emotional. My existing fans and new fans are always saying 'I hope you succeed more', I tear up because of that. It's more emotional when I read it at dawn

On retirement thoughts
S: I was really exhausted and was thinking that I would stop/retire. My trainee period was long, I worked hard as part of KNK. When I thought of Park Seoham without KNK I couldn't think of anything. My 20s were KNK and I wondered if my 20s was disappearing.

S: The 'no fun' time of life had arrived. After I left KNK I wasn't confident in promoting/doing activities alone and I didn't have the confidence to do something more in the future. I thought 'ah, I should retire now' and packed up all my things in Seoul.

S: I even told the landlord of the house I was living in alone that I would be moving out but it was then that I got the casting call for 'Semantic Error'.

On SE
S: I started to be more ambitious after SE. It was like the mindset I had when I first debuted,

S: I always thought that I shouldn't forget how I started. I think it's important to have a mindset of 'I want to do well/succeed'. But for me at that time, I didn't have that desire.

S: The amount of support I got was the amount of trust people had in me right? My fans said

S: 'Seoham is good at this, he's great' and seeing this I thought that I can't dishonour the high expectations, I cannot betray their trust. I thought that fulfilling the expectations was my homework and my fate/what I had to do and I naturally became more ambitious.

S: I'm looking back at not only SE but also my previous works and I'm also receiving feedback from the CEO of my company. I'm slowly becoming more ambitious.

'Semantic Error' Park Seoham "Park Jaechan appeared when I was having a hard time, it was fate" P2 8.03.22

S: Both Jaechan and I still can't believe (our rise in popularity). We would always ask each other 'is this real?' Of course, we feel the drama's popularity to an extent

S: but we still can't believe the interest in us and I couldn't imagine it would be to this extent (laughs)

On the positive filming environment
S: I became more energised on set. During the filming and even as filming ended I said 'thank you for helping me find my dream again.

S: I have the desire to promote (as an actor) again.' Jaechan also seemed to have a lot of fun on set. We became really, really close and because it was the end, he teared up. Jaechan didn't tell me the exact reason he cried during the last filming but he said this.

S: '(You're) Such a good person and I was sad thinking I wouldn't see you again', he really cried like a baby. I thought I would cry as well. I teared up too but as Jaechan received the cake and burst into tears my first thought was that (he) is so cute. We hugged and he burst

S: into tears again so I wavered and my eyes became a bit red/got teary.

On how Seoham doesn't have piercings or tattoos but Jaeyoung does and how Sangwoo doesn't have piercings or tattoos but Jaechan does
S: I also found that interesting. Jaechan has a tattoo and

S: piercing and I don't have either. Firstly, I'm the type that really doesn't suit accessories. I was an idol but I didn't have the idol styling. But Jaechan suits having tattoos and piercings, he also suits not having them either.

S: Before, I thought 'ah I need to wear

S: accessories' and looked into the mirror but it really didn't suit me. I pierced (my ear) and looked at it for a month but then took it off right away. And around when I did 'Mix Nine' I had thoughts to try accessories again. I thought 'I need to show off my idol-like charms'

S: so I had a cross as an earring but it outrageously did not suit me. After that I didn't wear accessories. And my ear piercings have already closed, the earrings in SE are all clip-on earrings.

On SH and JC's fateful meeting
S: The future is set and we just flowed into the set future. Jaechan, who is a fatalist, said that there is definitely a reason as to why we met again and he is not wrong. He's young but he's not wrong. He's a very smart and clever baby (smiles).

S: I thought there is fate to an extent but I didn't believe in it. But I thought our fate was very fascinating. It's not only us but all the staff members thought that too. There were a lot of other people who auditioned for Jaeyoung and I said I wasn't able to do it a few times

S: But it's so fascinating that (they) met up with me later and I got to do SE.

On a season 2
S: I'm also worried about season 2. It's that we don't know what will become of our situations in 1.5 years later. Even if I want to do it now, as time goes by Jaechan might be doing a

S: really good drama like 'Penthouse' or he might be on an overseas tour.

S: It would be perfect if a season 2 came out this year or even early next year but even if it really comes out, it would be pushed back because of me so I feel bad for Jaechan. Also, there would've been

S: more schedules we could have done together but it seems like we can't do them because of me so I'm just sorry. But Jaechan didn't show any signs (being upset/angry) and said to me 'Hyung, come back safely'.

Q: What would happen if you fight?
S: I don't go against my friends.

S: Firstly, Jaechan and I match each other very well so we wouldn't have anything to fight over. Jaechan and I met each other when we were both having a hard time. I appeared for Jaechan and Jaechan appeared for me. I met someone I need to meet. We'll stay close for a long time.
