1. We met for a bit during the press conference; it was shocking. Even in front of reporters, you showed Choi Siwon’s real side.
If I put up a wall, the person will too. By going about it comfortably, it can be comfortably received too. Since there is mutual understanding. Even if a mistake is made, if you honestly say “I have made a mistake. Please forgive me”, you’re likely to get a response like “Okay, I know”. Of course it also applies to netizens whose faces you have never met. Your sincerity can be felt. When acting or doing other things. I sincerely show my real self.

2. It seems like you don’t show fake feelings.
That actually is one of the problems with me. If I hate it, I will show it. I especially hate those who do things without using common sense. If I like something, I like it; if I hate something, I really hate it.

3. Actually, the phrase that comes to mind when looking at Choi Siwon is full of positivity.
I’m human, so there cannot not be a negative side of me. But if you think negatively, there’ll be no end to it. If you get angry, you’ll always be angry. Likewise, if you choose to think positive, you’ll always be positive.

4. How many times did you film the pickled radish scene in She Was Pretty? It is not easy to get it in the mouth at one go.
The director actually wanted for the pickled radish to stick then fall from my mouth. (Laughs) So it was not meant to be filmed like that. But this cut was aired on broadcast. I was so shocked too when it appeared on broadcast.

5. Still, you’re Super Junior’s face. So comic acting is…
To me, it’s comfortable. Actually, among Super Junior, the one who likes funny things most is me?

6. Do you practise those comical expressions at home?
I planned before going. The script said “2-second pose”, “3-second pose”. For the funnier scenes, I had to plan even harder. On the other hand, the emotional scenes were difficult. Actions can be decided on easily, but you can’t calculate feelings.

7. Do you feel burdened having to transform a lot when doing comic acting?
Shinhyuk’s character is funny but when he’s serious, he’s really serious. He’s pitiful too. The director told me I have to balance Shinhyuk well. In the beginning, I worried a lot about whether to just go down the funny route. No matter what, thank you for believing in me till the end.

8. Honestly, Shinhyuk is quite a pitiful character.
I cried a few times when reading the script. At the “Jackson, don’t go” scene too. There is no chance for Shinhyuk. If you have experienced unrequited love you will know, the feeling of not wanting to ruin the friendship. It’s very pitiful to continue having such feelings.
9. It seems like you have had unrequited love.
Unrequited love? It happens to anyone. I am similar to Shinhyuk in many ways.
10. Before the drama started, did you expect this level of popularity?Until now I still don’t feel it’s real. Everyone around me says (my popularity’s) the best; I don’t really know about that. I’ve asked them too many times “Really? Really?” until they have gotten annoyed.
11. What does She Was Pretty mean to Choi Siwon?
A work that helped discover a new side of Choi Siwon. It’s a work I’m thankful for. Because I received a lot of attention and love from it.
12. Enlistment is just a few days away.
Although it’s the same for the members too, until now I have never gotten to rest. (Army) will be a good time for me to recharge. Although it will be hard of course. Rather than suffering, I feel it is just an obstacle. Members said I will enjoy it.
13. Are you doing a farewell party before enlistment?
The day before Yunho went in, 20 of us men gathered. (Laughs) Yunho prepared 2 watches to use in army, for Changmin and I.
14. Is there a reason you are enlisting with Changmin?
It is a coincidence. It feels better to enlist together. Recently we’ll been messaging each other everyday. Like a couple, even asking “Where are you~” etc. It really makes me feel comforted. I’m uneasy because it’ll be the first time, but we’ll be sharing such feelings.
15. I heard Donghae is your senior by a month in the army. It seems like greeting will be difficult?
I do not know. Because he is senior, do I have to use formal language? I feel he will bully Changmin and I. (Laughs) The opportunity is now. This kind of feeling? If he bullies I’ll have to tolerate it. What else can I do about it.
16. You really have not had contact with Eunhyuk?
Besides me, all the members said they have received calls. Maybe because it is from an unknown number so I did not pick up. His personality is the kind that does not call often. Eunhyuk is the kind to be quiet. Tough man style. On the other hand, Donghae is the kind that gets lonely easily. He is army senior so I’ll even have to clean his ears (if he asks me to). (Laughs) He’ll be the scariest senior of one month.
17. How Donghae bullies you, you must write an account of it.
When I am on break, I will expose him on SNS. (Laughs)
18. Super Junior really seem like classmates. How will Super Junior be like in 10 years?
Probably with the feeling of neighbourhood meeting. (Laughs) And we’ll be working hard in our own desired fields.
19. So Siwon’s 30s is?
I think I have mentioned before, I plan to produce 2 movies. 30s is the time to start new challenges. They do not all neccessarily have to succeed; failures must be accepted humbly. It will be a period to humble myself.
