The article was posted by piku-san on the Jpanese board.  The interview was broadcased on a cable movie channel WOWOW and the article was up in their site.  I like the comments from WOWOW staff very much and would like to share with all the overseas fans.

Q:  Since there are various kinds of messages hidden in this movie, what issues do you want to convey to us?
A:  First of all, the eldest daughter seems having her marriage life like she forgot how to love.  However, once she meets another man, she started to feel the heartthrob sentiments of falling in love,  Regarding my role, I think about falling in love in a theoretical sense.  Therefore, I am the type of female who is always negative towards love.  But once I meet the man I adore, I’ve started to become positive passionately as it goes.  The real love is then what you’ve started to learn from one man.

Q:  What do you think about LBH as an actor?
A:  First of all, he is my senior among actors.  He is a wonderful actor with acting abilities in Korea too.  He gave me a lot of advice in terms of acting during the breaks of shooting.  I think that his No. 1 charisma is his refreshing smiles as you can tell after you watch this movie as well as his sharp gaze.

Q:  What do you think about the attractiveness of acting?
A:  I’m not sure about it yet.  Since I don’t have so much experience as the neighboring LBH does.  Simple things turn out to be difficult depending on the types of role.  Finally, everything always becomes brand new.  I think that is what acting is like.  The more you play, the more difficult it is.  You never know what it will be.  Everything is full of new discoveries.  

Q:  What is your motto?
A:  To do the best in everything and to thank for everything.

Q:  Is there any show or thing that you have done that you consider as changing your life?
A:  I think that it was Winter Sonata in which my acting was recognized by the public and became my huge turning point.

Q:  To wrap up, please say your message.
A:  Hello, I’m Choi Ji-woo.  ‘Everyone has Secrets’ will be released on Nov 27.  Please look forward to seeing me who you have never seen before.

Comments from the program staff:
1.  Their coming to Japan was chaotic as expected.  In the press conference, the size of the mass media, the heat and frantic were above the Hollywood stars.
2.  The atmosphere was so different from the usual one for Hollywood stars.  The mass media were waiting after the set-up of the cameras.  Then both of them showed up together in 30 minutes.  There were about 15 Koreans (related staff?) following behind them.  Even during the interview, you could hear the sounds of picture taking.  There were other cameras, which kept moving around us in the interview room that seemed to have made a huge muddle.
3.  We could feel that Jiwoo looked very calm maybe because she was used to that type of occasion but the thing we noticed most was her concern toward LBH.  It gave us an impression that Korea is a country which has clear-cut boundaries for seniors and juniors than Japan as we thought.  
4.  The one starring in Winter Sonata who created the social phenomenon in Japan didn’t get arrogant from her astounding popularity.  She was such a pretty lady who was so humble to move one step backward without losing her gracefulness.

What do you think?  The comments were EXACTLY what I thought.  I've never clicked on LBH's charisma although he's one of the Four Heavenly Kings.  But I really respect Jiwoo as an individual instead of a shiny showbiz star.  She will always be my Heavenly Queen and hopefully she can become an icon for Korean female actresses as BYJ for the nation of Korea in the Jpanese minds.
