We managed to interview Luha & Gohyeon after watching the play to talk about their experiences in acting for the play Annarasumanara. They also left heartfelt messages and some good news for all the fans.
- 본인이 연기하는 역할에 대해서 간략하게 얘기해주세요.
Tell us briefly about your role.
루하 / 감정표현을 잘못하고 자기 가하고픈 것을 못 해 자신이 어떤것을 하고싶은지 잘모르는 상위1%엘리트학생 역할입니다.
Luha / I play an elite student from the top 1% who is not good at expressing himself and is also unsure of what he can do nor what he wants to do in life.
고현 / 현실보단 꿈을 향해 달려가는 엉성하지만 순수하고 꿈을 찾아가는 마술사의 역할입니다.
Gohyeon / I play a sloppy magician who is more idealistic than realistic.
- 본인이 연기했던 캐릭터의 성격과 본인의 진짜 성격이랑 어떻게 다른가요?
How different is the personality of the character you are playing from your real self?
루하 / 대본을 읽었을때에는 지금 제가 연기하고있는 캐릭터와는 조금은 다르게 표현을했어요.
원래는 차가운표현이많았다면
지금은 파스텔톤이랄까요
제 성격이 잘묻어나게 연기한것같습니다.
Luha / I am expressing the character a bit differently from what I have read in the script. Initially, the character had a lot of cold expressions but right now, it’s kinda like… pastel toned? I think my real character has been shining through.
고현 / 제가 맡은역할이 어려운 역할이고 표현을 잘해야하는데 그래서 걱정이 많았어요. 원래는 연기전공이 아니고 연극이처음이다 보니 부담도 많이되었어요. 근데 주위에서 누가봐도 마술사는 현이 너야 너가 행동하는게 정말 그 마술사 같아라고 말해줘서 뭔가 저랑 잘 맞는거 같아요. 저도 앞만보면서 꿈을 향해 가고있어요.
Gohyeon / The role I took on was difficult as I had to portray it expressively so I was very worried. I do not have an acting background and this is my first time doing a play so I felt a lot of pressure. However, everyone around me was saying, “Hyeon, you are the magician.”, “Your actions are really like a magician.” so I guess I am suitable for the role. I m also only looking forward towards my dream, like the magician (character).
- 연극을 준비하면서 힘들었던 점은 무엇이었나요?
What difficulty did you face when preparing for the play?
루하 / 대학교에서 연기를 전공했어도 실제로 연극 공연을 처음하는거라 겁이 많았기도했고
아이돌이란 수식어가 있다보니
같이 작업하는 배우분들께 또 스탭분들께
폐를끼치는것은 아닐까 생각도했고
부족한 실력인데도 불구하고 더 잘할수있는 배우분의 자리를 빼앗은 건 아닐까 고민도 많이 했는데
옆에서 함께 하는 배우분들이 도와주셔서
더욱 엄청 열심히 준비했던것같습니다.
Luha / Even though I had majored in acting at university, it was my first time performing in a real play so I was terrified. I was an “idol” so I kept thinking that I would be a nuisance to the other actors and staff. I was also very worried that I was depriving another more deserving actor with my mediocre skill. The actors in the production helped me a lot so I was determined to work a lot harder (to make sure I do well and not disappoint them).
고현 / 저는 연기 전공도 아니고 연극이 처음이라서 기존 배우님들한테 많이 도움이 안될까봐서 그게 제일 큰걱정이고 제가 잘 못한다고 생각이 커서 그래서 그게 제일 힘들었는데 옆에서 도움을 많이 주셔서 잘 할수있었습니다
Gohyeon / I am not an acting major and this is my first time acting in a play so I was worried that I was of no use to the cast. The biggest hurdle I had to overcome was my own thoughts of not being good enough. I received a lot of help from everyone around me so I was able to do well.
- 공연 하면서 기억에 남거나/옷긴 장면들이 있었나요?
Were there any memorable/funny moments during the performance?
루하 / 공연하는 순간 전부 다 소중하고 감사한 순간인데요 아무래도 첫공연때가 기억에 남는거같아요. 준비가 덜 되진않았나 대사를 까먹으면어쩌지..
긴장과 설렘이 공존해서 새로운길에 발을 내딛는단 생각에 기억에 많이 남는것같습니다.
Luha / Every moment of the performance is precious and a moment that I am thankful for. Regardless, the first performance is the most memorable. What if I forgot my lines…? I was both nervous and excited as it’s a new path and I am embarking on so I think that everything is memorable.
고현 / 공연은 전부다 기억에 남아요 그리고 그냥 연극을 하다가 매순간 어떤 상황이 일어날지 모르고 배우분들의 애드립과 관객의 반응들로 항상 재밌게 모든 순간이 다 기억에 남아요
Gohyeon / Everything about the performance is memorable. In every performance, you do not know what is going to happen as an actor might ad lib and the audience reaction makes it all very interesting and hence every moment is memorable
- 연극에서 가장 좋아하는 장면은 무엇인가요?
When is your favourite scene in the play?
루하 / 제가 아직도 항상 다르게 표현을 하고자하고 대사에서 항상 느끼는게 많은 ‘나일등과아버지’ 씬이 제일 좋습니다!이제 막 일등이가 하고싶어하는 일이생겨서
아버지에게 받았던 강요를 이겨내고
자신의 뜻을 전하면서
대립하는 장면입니다.
Luha / My favourite scene is “Na Il-deung and his father”. I’m still trying to express it differently every time and it is always emotional. In this scene, Il-deng has something he wants to do and he overcame the pressure from his father. It’s a confrontation scene where he expresses his intentions.
고현 / 저는 연극에서 명대사가 하나있는데 그 장면이 좋아요 하고싶은것만 하라는거 아니야 하기싫은일을 하는만큼 하고싶은일도 하라는거지
이 장면이 제일 좋아요
Gohyeon / For me, there is a famous line from the scene in the play that I like very much. “Don’t just do what you want. You have to also do the things that you do not want along with what you want.” This is my favourite scene.
- 미래에 도전해보고 싶은 역할은 무엇인가요?
What kind of roles would you like to try in the future?
루하 / 당장은 떠오르진않지만 이것저것 넓은 스펙트럼을 넓히고 싶습니다
개인적으로 히어로장르도 굉장히 좋아해서 도전해보고싶습니다.
Luha / I can’t think of any role right now but I would like to widen my spectrum of parts to play. Personally, I like the hero genre a lot so I would like to try it out.
고현 / 음 저는 다 모든 역할을 해보고싶어요 코미디액션? 로맨스 이런역활도 좋아요!
Gohyeon / Erm, I would like to try out all roles. Comedy action? Romance. Those types of roles are great too.
- 연극이 3월이면 끝나는데요. 혹시 팬들이 기대해 볼만한 게 있을까요? 그리고 또 준비중인 작품이 있나요?
The play ends in March. Is there anything for the fans to look forward to thereafter? Is there anything else you guys are preparing?
루하 / 연극으로 인해 너무 감사한일들이 너무 많았어요 다시금 저희가 감사함을 되돌려드리기위해
본업인 가수 로써 새로운그룹으로 돌아올예정입니다 하고싶다면 뮤지컬도 해보고싶다는생각도 들어서 뮤지컬 관계자 여러분 연락주세요!!
Luha / I have many things to be thankful for because of the play. Once again, I would like to return the thanks by returning to my roots as a singer and will be returning with a new group. If it is possible, I would also like to act in a musical. Casting directors, call me!!
고현 / 일단 연극 항상 많은 분들이 보러와 주셔서 너무 감사합니다 그리고 요즘 코로나가 위험해서 모두들 조심하세요 항상 기대많이 해주세요 여러방면에서 활동을 할게요 그리고 저희는 이제 다시 앨범을 열심히 준비 중이니까 많이 기대해주세요
Gohyeon / First of all, thank you to everyone who came to watch the play. It’s dangerous (out there) due to the Coronavirus so please be careful everyone! I will be having various activities and am in the midst of working on an album. Look out for it!
- 마지막으로 팬들에게 하고 싶은 말이 있나요?
Finally, is there anything you would like to say to your fans?
루하 / 작년에 굉장히 많은일이있었습니다
그래도 다시 돌아가기위해 전보다 수백배 수천배 마음을 다잡아가며 연습하고 공연했습니다
잊혀지진않을까 기억은해주실까
좋지못한 시선들이 무서워 내려놓고싶었지만
멀리 해외에서까지 응원해주러오시는팬분들,
항상 찾아와서 괜찮냐고 물어봐주시는 팬분들
팬 여러분들 덕분에 다시 용기를 낼수있었습니다
이제 다시 한번, 아니 이젠 함께해주세요… 표현이 너무나 똑같아서 죄송스럽지만
언제나 너무나 감사하고 사랑합니다
Luha / There were so many things going on last year. Even so, I would practice and perform hundreds and thousand times more just to be able to turn back time. Would I be forgotten? Would anyone remember me? The negative attention is scary. I would like to let it go but the fans would have travelled far from abroad to give support, and the fans who keep coming to ask if I am ok… it’s thanks to all of you that I am able to be brave again. Once again, no, from now onwards, let’s always be together! I’m sorry for sounding like a broken record but I am always grateful and always loving you all.
고현 / 안좋은일들이 많아서 그게 너무 죄송스러워요 그래도 항상 언제나 여러분들을 생각했어요 그리고 힘도 많이 받았어요 너무 감사해요 그래서 더 빨리 나오려고 준비하고 열심히 연습하고 했어요
그리고 항상 불안하고 무서웠어요 모두들 떠나갈까봐요 그래도 항상 옆에서 응원해주셔서 너무 감사합니다 정말 열심히준비해서 다시 멋지게 앨범들고 나올테니까 그때까지 잘 기다려주시고 많은 관심 가져주세요 그리고 항상 미안하고 감사합니다 사랑해요! ❤
Gohyeon / There were so many bad things and I’m apologetic for it all. Regardless, I am always thinking of everyone. Also, I have received a lot of strength (from the fans) so I am very thankful. As a result, I want to return sooner so I have been practising hard. Also, I’ve been anxious and afraid that the fans are gone. Still, thank you all for always staying by my side and cheering me on. I am really working hard to return with an album. So until then, please wait for me and give me your attention. Finally, sorry, thank you and I love you. ❤
