Favourite Moment
Time flows calmly and quietly. It is headed in the direction of
happiness. We take a look at the time of Ji Chang Wook who is dynamic at
times, and laid-back sometimes.
24 Hours
Ji Chang Wook said something obvious but interesting. “After all,
there are only 24 hours in a day. No matter how tough it is, the day
will end once that time passes.” What he said doesn’t mean that it is
fine to while your time away even when the going is tough just
because time will pass anyway. Because there are only 24 hours, even
when you find it tough, you will have a fruitful and well-spent day if
you give maximum concentration in those 24 hours. This is Ji Chang
Wook’s method of using time to give maximum concentration in every
moment.
Cold time
“It’s comfortable to work in winter.” Ji Chang Wook loves winter.
He’s the kind who cannot bear the heat. “I’m more affected by winter as
compared to spring. When it’s winter, I will become lonely for no reason
and I’ll want to go away to some place. In the middle of the night, I
will have thoughts like ‘Shall I simply go off to look at the wintry
sea?'” Actually, spring, summer, autumn and winter have their own
respective beauty and he likes all of them. “Of course, when it comes to
resting, any season is fine,” he added cutely.
Rest time
He enjoys the time spent with friends. When a project ends, meeting
his friends whom he didn’t get to see all those while becomes his main
daily task. He is the manly type, so he will go to the sauna with
friends or look for delicious restaurants. He also enjoys alcohol a lot.
Cramming
During his school days, he was surprisingly simple-minded and did not
study consistently everyday. Often, last-minute cramming the day before
the exam was a life saviour to him. If lucky, this was effective
because he generally has a high level of concentration. “My academic
results were fine. But nothing remains (in my head) because I studied
last minute. I forget everything after the exam.”
Injury time (*this is a common term used in soccer)
Ji Chang Wook thought about two possibilities as to what he will
become. An actor and soccer player. In one of his interviews, he once
said, “My mother was strongly against acting and soccer.” There is a
soccer team in which he is currently active in. Besides that, he plays
futsal matches about 3 to 4 times a week with friends who also like
soccer. He enjoys late-night soccer, and he will run around from 1am for
3 to 4 hours. “I really loved soccer since I was young. When I run on
the ground, I feel a rush of adrenaline and I get excited, so I’m unable
to stop.”
