The second part of Jiyoung at Kawada Hiromi's Field Of Dreams, from TokyoFM, was aired at October 10 and she talked about her career. Check it out:
Q: The 2nd turning point you gave is the drama "Tamiou". What's the reason behind this?
A: It's my first (japanese role). I changed bodies with a politician/father. I played an Oyaji role. Since then I'm called 'OyaJiyoung' (laughs)
Q: You must change various stuff like the way how you sit, and others except your voice.
A: The thing I changed the most is my voice. If the voice is not low, they won't think we changed bodies. *Jiyoung tried doing the OyaJiyoung voice*
Q: You played Kusakari Masao-san's role. There's a big age gap...
A: Kusakari-san gave me good advice... the time when we're reading the scripts together, I was so nervous. He said "It's okay, Jiyoung-chan!" and it made me really happy.
Q: Do you always observe Kusakari-san?
A: Yes...Kusakari-san's role has a habit of saying "Mmmmmm" before speaking, and he's naturally good with it. I had hard time with it.
Q: It was hard but do you feel rewarded?
A: There were people who said "The one who played Murano Erika's role is a Korean? I thought she's Japanese." and, "Her acting as well as her Japanese improved a lot", I was moved to see those comments. Since I didn't expect to get a Japanese role quickly, to be able to do it is fun, and I want to play more roles. It became a very important work.
Q: A book that summarizes Jiyoung's 21 years is now on sale. Title is?
A: Grow up!
Q: Did you wanted to put this kind of book?
A: I thought of it, but there are already lots of stylebooks out there. Very fashionable, full of clothes and bags. That's why I said, "I don't have those! I won't make a style book!" (laughs) So to change directions, I made a style book containing where I studied abroad, my favorite place, and private photos from my laptop.
Q: Your new movie "How Is The Sky Over There?" from Kitagawa Eriko who also wrote Orange Days and Long Vacation will be out soon. Will this also get the girls' hearts?
A: Unfortunately, it's not a love story.
Q: What kind of role will you play?
A: This time it will be a Korean girl: Ena who speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean. But she's speaks more in Japanese, and the narration is also in Japanese. The setting was in Hong Kong so I have to speak Mandarin and Cantonese. It was difficult.
Q: A person who speaks 4 languages?
A: Yup. Ena went through a lot of countries due to family circumstances. She have a dream to achieve in Hong Kong. She's a nice girl chasing her dream.
Q: Jiyoung as an actress is now getting known. What kind of actress image do you aim from now on?
A: I want to be an actress who is not caught in only one frame. Also, I want to become a cool actress. Like Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson. I want to be an actress that even women love.
Q: Do you want a Hollywood debut?
A: If possible (laughs)
Q: When?
A: 10 years from now (laughs)
Host: After 10 years, you'll be 30 years old. But it's great if you could go up there on Hollywood! We are looking forward to your future success! Also, Ansatsu Kyoshitsu -Sotsugyou Hen- (Assassination Classroom: Graduation) is now announced! Everyone's looking forward to it!

TRANS } Jiyoung at Kawada Hiromi's Field Of Dreams
Jiyoung went to Kawada Hiromi's Field Of Dreams, from TokyoFM, and talked about important things that happened to her and what keeps her moving on. Check it out:
Q: Did you ever thought of giving up as an actress?
A: I never thought of giving up but...I kinda had my limit with the Japanese language.
Q:Like worries and fear?
A:Yes, I had it.
Q:But why did you keep on doing your best anyway?
A:After all, there are people who keeps on supporting me...that's why I'll work hard.
>>> The host praised Jiyoung and said that Jiyoung's presence in KARA was the most precious for her. The host likes Jiyoung's japanese during her days as a KARA member. She also said that Jiyoung became more older, more beautiful, and got better in Japanese.
Jiyoung: I spent my second half of teenage years with KARA.
Q: How was your days at that time?
A: Our Japan debut was in 2010..on our way home, I thought "Where am I and who am I?" and my ears hurt so we went to the hospital. Of course those times were fun but it was really busy.
Q: Your Japanese fans really loves you.
A: Yes...when I met them I really cried. I was so happy. It was tears of joy. At first I really didn't know what to do, it was like "Why are you crying?" "I'm sorry!" "Did I do something wrong?", But even now I still cry when I'm too happy.
>>>The host still listens to KARA songs until now. Now Jiyoung's turning point in life: Studying Abroad (London)
Q: Why did you choose this song? (Note: the song Jiyoung chose was "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran)
A: It was 2014, like July or August..there was a poster with an X sign.. I thought "what is hat"... then my friend said "You don't know this??" "I don't know.." then when I listened to the album there were lots of great songs.
Q: Why did you choose London?
A: The original English language is in United Kingdom, and there are lots of plays to see.. I was scared at first, like "what am I going to do this day?", I even got homesick just at my first month there. I didn't knew that much of English at first, I could understand what they were saying, but when it comes to conversations, I couldn't enter easily. I thought I was a failure in English and it seemed so impossible. It was hard. After my first month, my English slowly got better and it became more fun. And in three months, I've been in a lot of places alone. Then my fourth months was over. There was a time when I went to a shop and I couldn't even make an order. I was so nervous. Though I worked hard on speaking I got the wrong thing. From that experience I really trained my ears mouth eyes everyday. It was frustrating.
2nd turning point: The drama "Tamiou" next week!! Leon-kun is also one of the topics next week.
