Cha Tae Hyun Rates Jinyoung And Krystal's Chemistry In 'Police University' + Talks About His Friendly Approach To Rookie Actors

On August 9, Cha Tae Hyun, B1A4’s Jinyoung, and f(x)’s Krystal appeared on the KBS Cool FM radio show “Jung Eun Ji’s Music Plaza” to promote their new drama, “Police University.”

“Police University” is about the chaotic investigation that ensues when a professor at an elite police university teams up with his students, one of whom is a genius former hacker. Jinyoung and Krystal star as the students Kang Sun Ho and Oh Kang Hee, while Cha Tae Hyun stars as the passionate detective and professor Yoo Dong Man.

On the radio show, Cha Tae Hyun chose the youthful cast of rookie actors as one of the key points for the drama. Krystal said, “Cha Tae Hyun advised me to be friendly with the rookie actors. But he himself found them hard to approach. I would be talking to someone and he’d be like, ‘Are you guys close now?'”

Cha Tae Hyun said, “I’m not lonely, but it feels like I’m participating in observation learning. It’s difficult because I can’t be too forward with them either.” He added, “My wife told me not to uselessly stick my nose where it doesn’t belong. She told me not to approach them first.”

Jinyoung comforted him and said, “Among the rookie actors, there are a lot of fans of Cha Tae Hyun.”

Cha Tae Hyun also spoke about being a “son of KBS,” referring to his long history with the broadcasting station. “I entered KBS [as an actor] in 1995,” he said. “I went around to various places. I also ran a radio show on KBS. Back then, we didn’t broadcast on the first floor but on an upper floor. It was still the time when we would play music on cassette tapes and the sound engineer would have to keep them wound.”

The veteran actor also rated the chemistry between Jinyoung and Krystal in the drama, saying, “I would give them 99 points.” Krystal said, “What’s that one point?” but Jinyoung said, “It wouldn’t be good if it was too perfect either.”

One listener wrote in to the show to express their hope that Jinyoung and Krystal would win a Best Couple award at the end-of-year drama awards, and Jinyoung said, “The reason that a love line occurs is because Kang Sun Ho goes to police university all because of Oh Kang Hee.”

Asked to explain the love line in more detail, Cha Tae Hyun quipped, “What, are you asking me when they kiss and what episode?” He asked Jinyoung and Krystal directly if there was a kiss scene, to their embarrassment, and the drama’s director, Yoo Gwan Mo, sent a message saying, “You can anticipate it around episode 5.”

Cha Tae Hyun had previously wondered whether the younger actors on “Police University” had a group chat of their own. Jinyoung said, “All the actors who play the new police university recruits have one. I’m not lying when I say that we all want to talk with our seniors and we often talk about whether we can chat with them as well. Since we tend to speak informally and use slang when we’re by ourselves, we wanted to make a new group chat with Cha Tae Hyun as well. We’re all looking forward to it.”

“Police University” premiered on August 9 and will be available on Viki. Check out a trailer below!
