Siwan speaks fluent Japanese, Korean, and English in this interview just a day after his solo fan meeting in Hong Kong in 2015
Here is the entire interview with English subtitles. Thanks to a fellow Swan to have found this gem!
In the interview, he has expresses his want to do certain films/dramas and now we know that he has already performed well in these!
Historical + Melodrama - A King Loves
Action - The Merciless
Noir - Strangers From Hell
And of course, Run On, Summer Strike, and the most recent Unlocked!
We are looking forward to his biopic Boston 1947. Hopefully, it will bring him a lot of international recognition.
(I also loved how he dodged the questions about his abs... 😆)
Here's another interview from about same time. I haven't had a chance to place the subtitles on the video. I've pasted the translations below the video. Thanks @jeaniepakjp for the translations!

H: If Siwan can work together with Ariel Lin, I think that would be a great work.
(VO: Siwan hasn't visited Taiwan for a long time.
We have prepared tasty chicken steak and pearl milk tea for him.
But Siwan has to pass an acting test
We have the pictures of a few movies
If our host can guess 3 of them from Siwan's acting
Then Siwan can enjoy the chicken steak and pearl milk tea)

As he has come to Taiwan,
we have to treat him some tasty Taiwan food
The fried chicken steak that he misses
And also pearl milk tea
(VO: Although one of the answer was wrong
Siwan can still have the chicken steak and pearl milk tea
From his happy face
we can see how much he misses these food)

S: It's been a long time since my last visit to Taiwan.
I'm really happy

I wish everything goes well for you.

(VO: Adorable and naughty Siwan apparently feels relaxed
when he see our host whom he hasn't met for a long time
Siwan's also going to give away his autographed photo to our audience ...)
