Q. You released your first ever solo mini album. How do you feel? It's notable that you took part in writing all the 5 tracks of the album. Cheondung: Of course, I feel a little bit pressured but I'm very excited now. I've been studying songwriting for a long time, and I'm so happy that I got a chance to produce my album on my own. Q.  Where do you get the inspiration for writing your songs? Cheondung: Everywhere. I get the inspiration when I play with a cat, when I watch movie, and when I have a meal. And when I'm exhausted due to the hard work, I try to fill up my emotion again. I go on a trip with or without my friends, and I sometimes go bowling. Actually, I like to play with my sister Sandra Park but it seems like she has her 4 cats on the brain these days, haha. Q. Sandara Park appeared in the title track's music video. What did she talk about your solo album? Cheondung: I know she's very busy and I wanted to do everything on my own. Ho...

Q. Your drama 'Make a woman cry' was just finished. How was the drama? Cheondung: I think the drama will remain as my TOP 3 drama no matter how many dramas I appear on in the future. The set for the drama was full of excitement and laughter. As I'm a rookie actor, I could learn a lot from the drama. Q. I heard that you came through a competition of 400 to 1 to be cast in the drama. Cheodung: Yeah, I thought I could learn a lot from the audition. That's why I took part in the audition even though I thought I was not ready for acting yet. It was a great opportunity for me.  We had the audition  in groups of five to ten and I was able to gain great experience. Q. You left MBLAQ and began your career as an actor in the new company Mystic Entertainment. Tell me about your new start. Cheondung: At first, I didn't even think about my career as an actor. The reason why I made a contract with Mystic Entertainment was that the company always respects its artist...
