Here is the English text translation of JKS' interview in 'Sumatan' on Yomiuri TV, August 5, 2016.
0:00 Mori-chan got delighted. "Dream meeting with JKS" has finally come true !!
0:04 Mori-chan: No, no, I haven't done anything like that !
0:08 JKS: Hello, Mr. Shimbo and Mr. Mori. I'm JKS. Good morning !
0:14 He is JKS, an incomparable handsome guy born in South Korea !
0:15 JKS just finished his Japan Tour successfully, drawing 40000 audiences. We interviewed him right after his last concert at Osaka-jo Hall.
0:31 JKS: Thank you for coming.
0:33 Are you tired?
0.34 JKS: No, not at all. I'll be 30 pretty soon, but I'm still strong physically.
0:39 JKS: It's 10:00 in the evening now. If it were not for this interview, I would drink beer now.
0:48 JKS: Japanese beer is the best. In Korea draft beer isn't usually available at stores or restaurants.
0:54 JKS loves beer. When he gets drunk, he tends to do something odd.
1:02 How do you behave when you are drunk?
1:05 JKS: I run ! When I was drunk before, I went out of a restaurant and ran so fast. I shouted at my SP "Follow me all the way !!" That's what I do when I get drunk, out of habbit.
1:19 JKS: I can run back to my hotel by myself. So you don't have to worry about me at all !
1:24 JKS behaves in an unexpected way like this when he is drunk. As a matter of fact he has a "close relationship" with Osaka.
1:33 JKS: 8 years ago I had my first fan meeting in Osaka. Since I was in junior high, I had been dreaming of working in Japan.
1:43 JKS: My Japanese manager at that time was from an Osaka-based company.
1:48 JKS: Japanese staff always used Osaka dialect when they talked with me on the phone.
1:52 JKS: "Where are you now?" "I don't know." They talked like this. (※JKS talked in Osaka dialect.)
1:58 JKS: I sometimes use Osaka dialect in my shows. My first Japanese teacher was from Osaka.
2:06 JKS said Osaka is his second hometown. Now we have a guy we really want him to meet.
2:13 Here he is !
2:16 JKS: What?? What is this? (※He used Osaka dialect here.)
2:21 This is Mori-JKS. In this show in the past Mr. Mori went all the way to Korea to become a JKS' copy receiving JKS' hair stylist' help. He finally had a chance to meet JKS in person.! Guess what JKS' reaction is !
2:33 JKS: Hahahaha........ Do we look alike? Not all ! Don't you think so?
2:27 JKS: Please don't call him JKS. Mori-JKS doesn't look like me very much........
2:48 JKS: Well, don't bite off more than you can chew. Please come to Korea, just being dressed as usual.
2:51 Mr. Mori: I was forced to be like that.
2:53 JKS: But (if I look at you closely,) you look great. Why don't we play the guitar together?
3:00 Mr. Mori: I'm so embarrassed. I got my hair set by his hair stylist, though.
3:07 The guy on the left: I'm a bit at a loss.
3:10 Mr. Mori: For what?
3:11 Left guy: JKS' posters are everywhere in my house. (※Now I remember his wife is an eel. kkkkkkk)
3:13 Everyone: Oh, yeah. He is so popular.
3:18 On the screen it says JKS is 28, but he already became 29, maybe at the bigining of August.
3:23 He debuted in Korea at the age of 5, having been in the entertainment bussiness for 25 years.
3:32 He loves Osaka and ...
3:33 Mr. Mori: I'm surprised to learn JKS speaks such good Japanese. Just awesome !
3:36 When he comes to Osaka, he enjoys ramen at Kamukura and takoyaki at Koga-ryu in American Village.
3:45 Really? If he goes and eats like that, he draws a crowd of people and will be in trouble, right?
3:47 Maybe, or does he go secretly? JKS also loves driving. In Osaka area he likes to drive on a freeway to Kobe.
3:55 Mr. Mori: On Hanshin Expressway?
3:57 I guess so. Probably. He enjoys watching views from the highway? ....................
