#TBT from 2012 when Siwan adorably imitated his mother!

SBS Entertainment's Strong Heart is a very popular Variety (Talk) show in Korea. After the release of The Moon Embracing The Sun, Yim Siwan was invited as one of the guests. Here's the short interaction from that show. Siwan being his usual humorous and humble self!

Siwan really didn't have to talk about his mistakes, but he did so with innocent humour that makes you love him all over again.

Here is the transcript of the subtitles...

1:00 In the case of Siwan, how about your parents?

1:02 My parents worried a lot about me during the drama.

1:10 What kind of worries were there?

1:11 Actually, I didn't learn how to act at that time, but I started acting in dramas right away.

1:17 Because they were worried, my parents said they would monitor my acting.

1:22 After the first broadcast, my mom called me.

1:28 Uh, hello.

1:29 Uh Siwan, I watched

1:31 your drama.

1:34 You were good.

1:36 (She acknowledged his acting.)

1:38 Yes.

1:39 Oh, was it, mom? Mom.

1:41 But you move your forehead a lot, you

1:45 should fix that.

1:47 Oh, is that right. Mom.

1:48 It's distracting, since it keeps moving.

1:51 Distracting?

1:53 Oh, it's annoying.

1:56 Oh, right. Mom, I got it, and I hung up.

2:01 A few days later, the director

2:04 said the same thing.

2:06 About moving your forehead?

2:07 Yes.

2:08 You're full of worries.

2:10 Does it seem like that, never-mind.

2:13 It's not like that,

2:14 but I think I got a difficult assignment from the crown prince.

2:18 You don't look so cool. You look so pitiful, and I got scolded so

2:23 hard, for the first time.

2:25 Oh, really?

2:26 Yes, yes, my mother called again.

2:29 Hello. I saw your drama.

2:35 Yeah, you fixed it really well.

2:42 But you know when you lie face down on camera.

2:47 I shouldn't lower your eyes too much like that.

2:50 Oh, why mom.

2:52 There are times when you keep lowering your eyes.

2:55 We can't see it on camera.

3:01 But this, too.

3:02 Again?

3:03 A few days later, the director said he would re-shoot the scene.

3:09 Reshot, why?

3:10 It turned out that after doing this, there was a shadow under my eyes, so the director wanted to re-shoot it.

3:17 Your mother is really amazing.

3:19 It's because my mother has proper experience.

3:22 She doesn't work in broadcasting, does she?

3:25 Oh, she is extremely experienced in watching dramas.

3:30 She's a veteran viewer.

3:31 Really.

3:32 Viewers are the best.
