Here are excerpts of Q&A session:

Q1: What makes you choose That Winter, The Wind Blows as a comeback drama after 8 years hiatus in small screen?

A: There was no reason why I should not choose this drama, it has a great story-line from a great scriptwriter. Actually after I finish my military service I was  preparing for a movie called Martial Art but it was delayed until further notice. I could just choose any project to be in, but I was taking enough time to consider the next project. The scriptwriter personally comes to see and asked me to join the project. It's fortunate that I'm here to see you because of this drama and I'm very happy for that

Q2 : Is there any preparation in being Oh Soo? What kind of research/study you do to play Oh Soo character well?

A: Get ready to be a swindler?(laughs), actually we had a meeting with the director, scriptwriter and discussed how to take each other character.

Q3: How was the experience like being paired next to Song Hye Kyo?

A: It was fantastic, she is a beautiful actress as well.

Q4: Is there any similarities between you in real life and your character in a drama?

A:What do you think I may looks personally? As the character Oh Soo, there is some similarities that is actually the real me from the character itself.

Q5: Your personality is very cheerful but you always acted in melodrama such as Memories In Bali, Spring Days, do you feel like doing comedy romantic next?

A: I used to participate in a sitcom called Nonstop 2,It was fun and great, I wouldn't choose a romantic comedy just because it's a romantic comedy, I will look at the role first if I can either apply myself to get into the character or not rather than just being funny.

Q6: Do you consider yourself as a romantic guy?

A: Probably.

Q7: If you had a choice, who would you like to co-star with in the future?

A: My goal is to work with a good actress/actor doesn't matter who. But if I had a choice I would like/love to work with my close brother Song Joong Ki and also Choi Min Sik?

Q8: In the That Winter The Wind Blows, there are a few scenes where you write and read the Braille scene, have you learned write/and read Braille before?

A: Honestly it's hard, I cannot read the Braille.

Q9: The Cotton Candy Kiss was very popular among audiences and many idols even parody it, what do you think about the scene?

A: Honestly, it was very embarrassing/awkward moment to do it in front of beautiful actress like Song Hye Kyo.

Q10: How hard it is for you to let go of a character when a drama ends? Is there any a set amount of time?

A: I didn't really count how many days it takes. I spent 5 months shooting this drama(That Winter, The Wind Blows), so it's not that easy to let go of the character that you live in the past few month. That's my weakness.

Q11: Since this drama is related to a season, out of the 4 seasons, which one is your favorite?

A: I like summer because it has a warm feelings.

Q12: What is your expectation during the meet and greet with fans later?

A: I really don't know how many people out there really knows who I am, I hope to see at least 13 fans come to see me if there really any Malaysian fans that I have.

Q13: Is this the first time you were in Malaysia?

A: 2 years ago when I was in a movie called The Dirty Carnival, I came here for commercial shooting for 2 days 1 night

Q14: How do you find Malaysia, do you like it?

A: As for now I haven't explored Malaysia and i actually be given the chance to do that after this interview done, I'm very excited about it but at the hotel I'm staying I can feel warm sunshine and feel very happy.

Q15: What is your target/dreams in your acting career?

A: I don't  really think of any special target, I'm already lucky and happy enough being in this position, hopes to participate in more project and continue meet good people like you all.
