[INTERVIEW] Yoo Seung Ho Interview with Grazia Magazine February '15
PART I
Yoo Seung Ho came back!
Thankfully time went by.
Yoo Seung Ho came back to our world.
His tears we saw at his discharge made up for our long time waiting for him about 2 years.
Anyway, our Yoo Seung Ho was in front of us.
I think 'faithful' is the best way to show one's thought directly.
If I can show you a word or an action including a hand gesture with my thought, it would be wonderful.
For me, it's not a big deal if you can understand my thought.
It is enough for me if I can give you my heart first.
Paris.
I don't think you can feel romantic mood with sunshine in Paris only in spring or fall. December in Paris is also good season having a big event of 'Christmas'.
He lived in the deep mountain of Fachon in Gangwon for 18 months, so we wanted him to depart from his past just a little. That's why we offered him to visit Champs-Elysees for a week holding a Chrismas market from the Arc de Triomphe.
I know that he worked hard without tears, or he might have not been fully enjoyed himself if he got a holiday in the military since he was like a honest person. I thought that it would be better for him to release from in reality and took him to Paris for 11 hours flight.
"I've been in Paris for 3 days before going for photo shooting to London. I didn't know how to enjoy Paris as I was too young at that time. I think your trip can be changed depending on your purpose, but I don't want to make a point or purpose of this trip in Paris.
Especially I will be there with good staff this time, which means to be perfect of my trip before starting".
"I want to go backpacking with my friends in the future. This idea is growing in my mind after I came here in Paris. I don't need anything like luxurious or comfortable for my trip, but a backpack is only I need.
Actually before entered into the military service, I went to Jeju island with my close friends.
We rented scooters and went around there, which gave me a lot of opportunities to think.
It was raining and cold there, but we had not decided where to stay. That was a tough trip, but for me, it was fun time with close friends."
We knew this trip would be perfect from the departure...
Actually Yoo Seung Ho didn't make lists like what to buy or where to go for travelling.
Although he made a decision to go there, the weather in Paris was so bad.
But he didn't blame the weather.
When he was walking in the rain, he just pulled with a hood of his jumper, and his hands put in his pockets of it. He was just kept walking calmly.
When the rain got heavier, he went into the cafe he found first there, having an Americano.
Regardless of the middle of winter, it was not freezing there. The first class there is always at the terrace where you can stay with people passing on the streets.
"My unit in the military was placed in freezing, so I rather feel refreshed of this weather.(laugh)
When I had to work early in the morning it was so freezing out there that I would got a headache. So I feel friendly to this weather instead"
We know a life in the military makes you get adapt to any environment for the victory, then you would be impossible to hate your memories there in the end.
He showed us his stories as a trainer in the military, we saw him as if he had his first love or broken up with someone, it was like a sense of frustration on his face.
"I'm happy to finish my duty in the military, it's so good. As it has not been in a month since I left from the military service.
I don't know why, but I'm still remembering of my successors of the military.
I wanted to say thank you with cool at my discharge, but I got crying in front of the cameras, right?
Before I came out there, my successors gathered at the same place as the cameras, formed a line on each side and gave me a song with applause.
After that, suddenly tears in my eyes and I was standing there. Maybe they moved me like that.
Because I had been shared the same hardships with them, and I know they will be having a hard time more after I left.
But it's not good for crying like that."(laugh)
