You must have a special sentiment about your TV drama ¡°Winter Sonata¡± which created the `Yonsama¡¯ fever.
I have a strong bond with Yoon Suk Ho, the producer of the ¡°Winter Sonata¡±. Our friendship began when I made my debut with his drama ¡°Love Greeting¡±. ¡°Winter Sonata¡± became a kind of turning point in my career. I think the story touched many people¡¯s hearts in that it looked back on the memory of first love and viewers could relate to the story while watching the drama.

You call your fans `my family¡¯. Isn¡¯t this a little burdensome considering your fans¡¯ expression of love and adoration?
If my fans are not considered my family, they cannot give me absolute trust and love. Although I am not able to greet all my fans in person, I still believe that we can understand each other¡¯s true feelings. I always want to express my warmest gratitude to them but at the same time, I feel badly that I cannot give them all that they want.
I always feel an enormous amount of responsibility because I have to live a celebrity life.

Your photo exhibit ¡°The Image Vol. One¡±, held at Roppongi Hill in Tokyo some days ago, was a great success. How was your fans¡¯ reaction especially about your muscular body which was shown to the public for the first time?
