Actor Justin Min did a photo shoot with fashion/lifestyle magazine ‘Cosmopolitan’.
Justin Min, who visited Seoul in May to attend the fan meeting for Netflix’s ‘Devil’s Plan: Deathroom ‘, impressed the staff on site with his professionalism, gentle smile, and attitude during the photoshoot with’ Cosmopolitan ‘despite his short schedule in Korea.This photoshoot with Justin Min focused on capturing Justin Min’ s naturally affectionate and sweet appearance as he spent warm and leisurely time in various places in Seoul.
After the photoshoot, an interview was conducted.He shared his recent situation in the US due to his short and busy schedule.He said, “Thankfully, I live right next to the beach.Right now, I’m sitting on a bench by the sea and answering the questions for this interview.I can see the waves crashing in front of me, and even further away, I can see surfers enjoying surfing.” He shared his daily life in the US.The interview was about the previous fan meeting in Seoul.This fan meeting received a hot response from fans from the moment the news of his return was announced.Justin Min said, “To be honest, it felt a little strange and unfamiliar.Unfortunately, I had to leave for the US right after finishing filming ‘Devil’s Plan 2.’It felt a little strange to see them wearing everyday clothes instead of prison uniforms and laughing in an environment other than the middle of a tense game.Of course, it was new and nice to meet all the cast members after a long time.And I was really, really happy to meet the fans.I will never forget the people who recognized me on the street and the people who came up to me and greeted me warmly.They were a great source of strength for me.” He also expressed his affection for the cast members and fans.He also received a lot of love from Korean viewers through’ Devil’s Plan 2.’When asked if he felt the response, he said, “I heard that many people are looking for my old works because of this program.As an actor, I think it’s something I’m very thankful for.”
Justin Min, who has played various characters with diverse endings, from good people to those with secretive and extraordinary abilities, in ‘The Umbrella Academy’, ‘After Sheep’, and ‘Angry People(BEEF)’.He said, “I’ve always been more drawn to characters than stories.My heart races when I meet characters who are complex, contradictory, and sometimes flawed.I want to continue playing characters who are imperfect and more humane.” He recently received favorable reviews for his English dubbing performance in Netflix’s ‘The Stars That Starve.’ Regarding his first dubbing performance for ‘This Star Needs’, he said, “This was my first time dubbing, and I realized that it was completely different from acting in front of a camera.When acting in front of a camera, you can express various emotions using your eyes, facial expressions, and body, but with dubbing, you can’t show anything other than your voice.So I had to find a way to express various emotions and nuances of lines using things like the tone of my voice, intonation, speed, and rhythm.It was such a huge challenge for me, but I think I had fun working on it.My respect for professional voice actors has also grown a lot.” Also, “There’s a part of Jay that I can relate to, which is that he has a dream but doesn’t believe in himself and doesn’t know what to do with it.Jay always wanted to be a musician, but he didn’t believe in himself and was confused about where to start.I’ve had similar experiences in many fields, like acting, writing, and photography.Sometimes it was hard to believe in myself and I needed someone’s support.Just like Nan-young was to Jay, I had friends and family.Thanks to the people who believed in me and told me to follow my dreams, I was able to believe in myself,” he said, expressing his gratitude towards the people around him.
On the other hand, Justin Min has a special affection for turtle chips, to the point that the word ‘turtle chips’ is often associated with him.When asked about turtle chips, he said, “Haha.I love turtle chips! One day, I went to a Korean mart and saw turtle chips, and I thought, ‘Oh, these look fun!’ So I picked one up.I took one bite and fell in love with them.After that, I even filmed a live video of myself eating turtle chips in different flavors.(Laughs)Now that you all know how much I love turtle chips, you really give me a lot of gifts,” he said, sharing a cheerful anecdote.Finally, Justin Min did not forget to give a loving greeting to his Korean fans.”Thank you so much for supporting me for a long time.There are people who have supported me since Season 1 of ‘The Umbrella Academy’, and I want to express my sincere feelings.Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.I really, really want to convey this gratitude.Thank you.Really!”
