DKZ’s Park Jaechan is excited for his first historical drama! Memories from filming "Check in Hanyang": “The senior actors took great care of me.” [ Kstyle 🇯🇵 Interview ]

First challenge in a historical drama! “I was excited to work with my senior co-stars.”

What kind of drama is Check in Hanyang? Please also introduce the character you played.

Park Jaechan: This drama portrays four young people who experience various events in the same place, deepening their bonds, reaffirming their friendship, and gradually growing closer.

The character I played, Ko Sura, is filled with a strong sense of responsibility, believing that he must rebuild his family as the pillar of the household. He is a passionate person at all times.

What made you decide to take on this role?

Park Jaechan: Since this was my first time challenging myself with a historical drama, I naturally became interested in it. The opportunity to create a great project with senior actors also made me want to take on this role.

What should viewers pay attention to?

Park Jaechan: The four main characters are called the “Haona Four” in the drama. At first, they are wary of each other, but as they face various incidents together, they deepen their bonds and become trusted companions. That journey is something to look out for.

While playing Go Sura, what aspects of the character did you find particularly appealing?

Park Jaechan: Sura is a very straightforward character. However, after meeting the “Haona Four,” he gradually learns the value of friendship and begins to open his heart. Watching him transform into a loyal friend over time is what I find most appealing about him.

Go Sura begins working as an intern officer at “Yongcheonru” in order to rebuild his fallen family. If you were in the same situation, how do you think you would act?

Park Jaechan: I think I would also try my best to join Yongcheonru, just like Sura. Since I share the same desire to protect my family, I would work hard to fulfill the tasks given to me.

Comparing yourself to your character, what similarities and differences do you see?

Park Jaechan: One similarity would be that I have a hard time opening up to people I meet for the first time… I’m actually really shy (laughs). However, unlike Sura, I don’t strictly follow a set way of doing things, nor do I feel like I always have to do what’s “right.” I actually prefer a more flexible approach.

While acting, were there any aspects you paid special attention to or put extra effort into?

Park Jaechan: I felt that Sura’s emotions were incredibly complex. At times, he acts as if the "Haona Four" means everything to him, yet at the same time, he worries about his family. He also struggles to stay rational, believing that he must pass the Yongcheonru exam at all costs. Since he experiences so many emotional conflicts, I paid special attention to how I expressed them.

Was there anything new that you challenged yourself with in this project?

Park Jaechan: Rather than taking on something entirely new, I always feel a sense of responsibility toward the characters I play. I constantly thought about what kind of expressions would best bring out Sura’s true nature.

In the drama, despite being surrounded by three troublemakers, Sura gradually opened up to them. How did you analyze his change in mindset, given that he initially had such a strong sense of justice and was always in pursuit of what was right?

Park Jaechan: At first, he really sees Deoksu, Junhwa, and Lee Eun as troublemakers who are completely unreliable, right? (laughs). But as time passes, Sura starts to rely on them as well—there are moments when they help him, and even in life-threatening situations, he survives thanks to them. Through these experiences, I think he gradually learned to trust them and open his heart.

The set was full of fun and laughter! “Gunjoo’s ad-libs were just too funny…”

What do you think is most appealing about Lee Eun and Hong Deoksu, who were central to the story?

Park Jaechan: Lee Eun is a very profound character. He helps people from behind the scenes without them realizing it, and at decisive moments, he becomes the strongest support, leading everyone forward. He hides his high status, but he helps everyone as they struggle to get through life at Yongcheonru. I found that aspect of him very appealing.

As for Deoksu, he is incredibly intelligent and reliable. His determination to perfectly achieve whatever he sets out to do was really admirable.

Go Sura was portrayed as the person Deoksu trusted the most among the Haona Four. Do you have any memorable stories from filming with Kim Jieun?

Park Jaechan: I think Jieun was the mood-maker on set! She always brought lots of snacks and food to share with us. When we arrived at the set, she would encourage us by saying, “Let’s do our best today!” and helped boost our morale.

Honestly, when I first met her, I thought she was just a kind older sister. I never imagined she would take on such a strong leadership role on set. But once filming began, she really stepped up as a leader, which surprised me but also made me feel incredibly grateful.

Your collaboration with Bae Inhyuk was also a hot topic. Do you have any memorable experiences from the set?

Park Jaechan: Since Inhyuk had already done many historical dramas, I learned a lot just by watching his acting. From his way of speaking to his gestures, there were so many things I could use as a reference. He was probably the most well-informed person on set. Whenever I had a question, I would immediately run to him for help (laughs). He was calm, decisive, and very reliable.

It’s said that Jung Gunjoo’s ad-libs were a huge hit on set. Was there anything surprising about him compared to your first impression?

Park Jaechan: When I first met Gunjoo, I thought, “Wow, he’s so dignified and cool!” But now, he feels more like a playful and lovable older brother (laughs). It was always hard to keep a straight face while filming with him. He constantly came up with hilarious ad-libs, which made the scenes even more entertaining.

If you could play a different character besides your own, who would it be?

Park Jaechan: I’m not sure if I could pull it off, but I’d like to try playing Cheon Bang Ju, the character portrayed by Kim Uiseong. He is the most powerful figure and has everything at his disposal, so I think it would be interesting to take on such a role at least once.

How did you spend your downtime while waiting on set?

Park Jaechan: During long waiting times, especially during location shoots in the countryside, we would eat together, have coffee, and enjoy snack time. Those little moments gave us the energy we needed.

If you were to rate your satisfaction with the filming of Check in Hanyang on a scale of 100, what would you give it?

Park Jaechan: I’d say about 70 points… I regret that, because of my shyness, I wasn’t able to get close to everyone at the beginning. As filming progressed, I started feeling a great sense of synergy with the team, which made me even more disappointed in my initial self.

You are recognized as a rising young actor. Is there any experience or project that changed your life or served as a turning point?

Park Jaechan: Every project I’ve been a part of has been a huge learning experience for me, so it’s difficult to choose just one. Check in Hanyang is also a project where I learned a lot. Every time I take on a new role, I feel like I’ve encountered another truly valuable project. That’s why all of them are meaningful and important to me.

Since the start of filming for Check in Hanyang, have you developed any new hobbies or interests?

Park Jaechan: Recently, I’ve been focusing on exercise. On my days off, I sometimes meet up with Gunjoo to work out together. I always liked exercising, but I feel like I’ve become even more passionate about it.

Japan has the best atmosphere no matter how many times I visit! "There’s still something I haven’t been able to do…"

Check in Hanyang has been loved by many viewers in Japan. What are your impressions of Japan?

Park Jaechan: I’ve had many opportunities to visit Japan, and I really love experiencing its unique retro aesthetic. Above all, the atmosphere is amazing! Even something as simple as a random street has a certain charm, and I also love the city nightscapes. Every time I visit, I get excited and feel refreshed—Japan is that kind of country for me.

If you visit Japan again, is there something you’d like to eat or do?

Park Jaechan: I really want to go to an amazing tempura rice bowl (tendon) restaurant! I’ve been to Japan multiple times, but that’s still one thing I haven’t been able to do yet (laughs). I also love yakiniku, so if I get another chance to visit, I definitely want to eat that as well. Honestly, I love almost all Japanese food (laughs).

Do you have a favorite Japanese word, or have you learned any new Japanese words recently?

Park Jaechan: I learned the word “悔しい (kuyashii)” (frustrating/regretful). I picked it up when I was in Japan for a DKZ schedule, while joking around with the members (laughs). Fans really loved a video I filmed with Jonghyeong!

Lastly, do you have a message for Japanese viewers?

Park Jaechan: To all the Japanese viewers! We worked really hard and had a lot of fun filming Check in Hanyang, so I hope the energy from the set reaches you as well. Please continue to show Check in Hanyang lots of love! And please send lots of love and support to Jaechan too!

Hanryu Pia May 2025 Issue - Jaechan's Interview

Among the four members of Haona, Park Jaechan, who played the youngest, Go Sura, was the only one who auditioned. (Judge) Jeon Won and the entire panel unanimously agreed that he was the perfect fit for the role.

Sura, who desperately tries to rebuild a fallen family, may lack flexibility, but he is an honest and sincere young man. What does Jaechan think about the character he played?

"I think Sura is a character full of passion. He works hard for what he needs to do and cherishes friendships. His dedication and commitment to giving his all in everything he does were very appealing to me. In that sense, I think he’s quite similar to me. Since I also have a rather honest personality, I could relate to him a lot."

Jaechan debuted as a lead in Semantic Error and gained more experience through two additional drama projects. However, this is his first time acting in a historical drama, and he put in great effort for this role.

"First, I studied the overall aspects of historical dramas and contemplated many things. Historical dramas require a different approach to emotional expressions and dialogue delivery compared to modern dramas. To fully immerse myself in the era's atmosphere, I even practiced tea ceremonies before filming. I also watched a lot of historical dramas and even tried speaking in a historical drama tone during breaks."

Many senior actors helped him with his first challenge in a historical drama, and it seems that Jung Gunjoo, his co-star from Bitter Sweet Hell, was a great help.

"Thanks to my seniors, I was able to fill in the gaps in my acting. I also consider it a stroke of luck to work with Gunjoo hyung again. In Bitter Sweet Hell, we didn’t have many scenes together, which I found disappointing, but this time, we spent almost half a year constantly together. His presence on set made the atmosphere so much better."

When looking back on the filming, Jaechan shared his most memorable moments:

"Since it was my first historical drama, wearing traditional costumes and makeup felt awkward at first. I’ve mentioned this in many interviews, but the battle against the summer heat during outdoor shoots will stay with me for a long time. I usually don’t sweat much, but my costume got completely drenched. It was tough for everyone on set, but when I watched the final footage, the youthfulness was captured so beautifully that all my fatigue disappeared (laughs)."
