JYJ's Park Yoochun On Why He Decided To Play A South Korean Secret Service Agent In The TV Drama 'Three Days'

Singer Park Yoochun of the K-pop trio JYJ will soon be able to see another side of the performer, as he appears as a South Korean Secret Service agent in the Seoul Broadcasting System television drama "Three Days."

In an interview on Friday with eNEWS, Yoochun explained his reasons for selecting the role.

"I chose this drama because of the powerful script and to challenge myself to act in a new genre," he said.

Kim Eun Hee wrote the "Three Days" script. His past credits include the television dramas "Sign" and "Phantom." The director Shin Kyung Soo is best known for his work on the drama series "Deeply Rooted Tree."

Yoochun, who play's the president's head of security in "Three Days," said his decision to join the cast was also motivated by a love of the script and a respect for Kim and Shin's past work.

"I chose the drama after reading through the scripts," the JYJ singer said.

"I thought, 'writer Kim Eun Hee doesn't let anyone down,' and I had my trust in the drama's production team, including director Shin Kyung Soo. I've been working hard to do my best in the performance."

Yoochun said he was also proud to be working with a veteran actor like his "Three Days" co-star Son Hyeon Ju.

"When I first met him for drama script reading, he said, 'let's make a good drama together since we're partners now,'" said the singer.

"I was deeply inspired by his charisma as well as his kindness towards others at the filming site. I think I'll have much to learn from him through this drama."

"Three Days" premieres on Feb. 26 in the Wednesday and Thursday timeslots previously occupied by the smash hit "You Who Came From the Stars."

The soundtrack for "You Who Came From the Stars" continues to dominate the K-pop charts as Hyolyn from the girl group Sistar has held the number one spot on the Billboard K-Pop Hot 100 for the last two weeks, with her solo track "Hello/Goodbye."

Solo singer Lyn is currently at number four with "My Destiny."
