01:10.3
My boyfriend left me.
01:13.2
My boyfriend left me.
01:14.9
I understand, I understand.
01:19.4
I'm here for you.
01:22.1
Anong ibig sabihin niyo to dun sa bayod?
01:24.8
Ikaw, pamilyado ang tao ko na tapos...
01:27.7
Di, tinutulungan ko lang.
01:30.0
Ache, iniwan daw siya ng boyfriend niya.
01:32.0
Gantong mukha, itsura, iniiwan ng boyfriend.
01:34.5
Sinong tanga-tanga at baliw na buo ko yan?
01:37.0
Wow, she has acting skills.
01:39.0
You're crying talaga, ha?
01:41.0
No tears, just like, sound.
01:43.0
Okay, mga bayaw, kilalang-kilalan niyo na yan.
01:47.0
Let us all welcome, here in Wasak,
01:49.0
Ray Joja, model and heartbreaker on the rise,
01:58.0
Opa Gangnam Style.
01:59.0
Can you do the dance?
02:01.9
I don't even know how to do it. Go.
02:03.9
Opa Gangnam Style.
02:08.9
What does that mean?
02:09.9
Gangnam is like the Beverly Hills of the US.
02:13.9
So he's kind of being sarcastic and making fun of like,
02:17.9
you know, I'm from Gangnam but I dress like this and I look like this.
02:21.9
It's a satire, no?
02:22.9
Yeah, sort of like that.
02:23.9
Why do you think it's popular?
02:25.9
It's very catchy.
02:28.9
Most Korean songs are LSS.
02:30.9
Like, Nobody, 21, their songs.
02:34.9
That's the trend nowadays, the LSS songs.
02:37.9
Like, Carly Rae Jepsen is also.
02:40.9
So I think that's why it's popular.
02:41.9
And the dance is easy, yet catchy.
02:45.9
So people will follow it.
02:48.9
It's sort of easy.
02:49.9
It's not complicated.
02:50.9
Like breakdance, like with your head spin.
02:54.9
Like, you know, don't break my heart.
02:56.9
Don't break my heart.
03:01.9
Macarena, like Macarena.
03:02.9
But you understand Tagalog, right?
03:05.9
I'm actually taking classes now.
03:06.9
Like, twice, thrice a week.
03:08.9
Give us a sample of this.
03:10.9
Ako si Jinri Park.
03:15.9
DJ ako sa Monster Radio.
03:20.9
Sobrang salamat sa inyo.
03:24.9
Sabi mo, pogi silang dalawa.
03:28.9
You grew up in the Philippines, right?
03:34.9
I actually grew up in Cebu.
03:35.9
I lived there since I was 6 years old.
03:37.9
My whole family was there.
03:38.9
I moved to Manila alone for college actually.
03:42.9
You're on a premed course, I understand.
03:45.9
Yeah, for 2 years.
03:46.9
Actually, I went to Korea.
03:47.9
Studied premed for 2 years.
03:49.9
And then came back to Manila.
03:51.9
Where did you study?
03:52.9
In the Philippines.
03:54.9
In the Philippines.
03:55.9
And then back to Manila.
03:57.9
Actually, our family is, they're all doctors.
04:00.9
And they're all in the medical industry.
04:02.9
So I guess it was sort of like a tradition.
04:05.9
Because my dad is very traditional Korean.
04:09.9
So he wanted me to go to med school.
04:12.9
There's one time, probably more than 10 years ago.
04:17.9
You would go to a Korean restaurant.
04:20.9
And it's as if it's the most alien experience.
04:24.9
The most alien experience ever.
04:26.9
But it's just, you know, on your neighborhood.
04:29.9
Now, do you think we've done that successful sort of integration with society?
04:38.9
Yeah, because I know several restaurants that are in a lot of malls.
04:44.9
They kind of taste like a Filipino food.
04:47.9
So it's like a fusion now.
04:49.9
It starts with a K.
04:53.9
And then the restaurant, I think it's sort of like a fusion.
04:55.9
It's not traditional Korean.
04:57.9
So Filipinos learn to like the food, Korean food.
05:01.9
And even the traditional Korean food, a lot of Filipinos really like it.
05:05.9
And I was surprised.
05:06.9
Because it's even spicy.
05:08.9
And sometimes I don't, I find it, you know, I'm like, eh, it's weird.
05:12.9
And they even like it more than me, so.
05:16.9
Breakfast is my favorite meat dish.
05:19.9
I actually wrote all of the comments.
05:21.9
It's written by me.
05:22.9
There's a line there that says, if you had the choice, you'd wear bikini all day.
05:27.9
You know, I definitely like wearing a bikini.
05:30.9
In appropriate times, if we're on the beach.
05:33.9
Yeah, I would wear it in Boracay or something.
05:40.9
Your name, Jinri, does it mean anything?
05:42.9
Yes, it actually means truth.
05:46.9
Yeah, it's from the Bible.
05:47.9
Jinri is from the Bible.
05:49.9
Park is a pretty common name.
05:52.9
Kim, Lee, Park, they're the three most common surnames.
05:57.9
Like, you know, the Yap here, Garcia.
06:00.9
That's right. Cruz.
06:01.9
People around asking you how you're related to Luneta and Bernham.
06:05.9
No, actually, Sandara.
06:08.9
They always ask me, are you related to Sandara?
06:10.9
I wish, only in my dreams.
06:12.9
But no, unfortunately, we're not related.
06:14.9
She's better than Sandara.
06:17.9
You saw her in person?
06:18.9
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:21.9
Do you have an explanation behind the fascination, the Filipino fascination with Korean pop, all things Korean?
06:27.9
Korean novellas, Korean music?
06:30.9
I mean, I'm very thankful.
06:33.9
I would like to, first of all, thank everyone who enjoys K-pop and Korean novellas and every other aspect that's related to Korea.
06:42.9
For me, it's like an opportunity.
06:44.9
I get jobs because I am Korean, because I look Korean, of course.
06:50.9
I'm very thankful.
06:52.9
Do you understand the...
06:56.9
No, actually, no.
06:58.9
Kasulti ka, kasulti.
06:59.9
Well, I don't know.
07:01.9
Dugay na, dugay na.
07:13.9
What do you think is it about the image of the Korean star that appeals to Filipinos?
07:21.9
Yeah, I think that plays a part, the skin, because they're fair-skinned and Filipinos are attracted to fair skin.
07:27.9
Guys kinda like that nowadays, like the whole, yeah, the cute thing.
07:36.9
Like, something like that.
07:37.9
Do you feel pressured that you have to conform to a certain stereotype?
07:41.9
Sometimes, but a lot of people already know that I grew up here, so they don't expect me to be a full Korean star.
07:49.9
But I get that a lot in my job.
07:51.9
Like, for example, like, if I have a shoot or, let's say, a video shoot, they want me to be, portray the Korean pop star.
07:59.9
I kind of find it hard.
08:01.9
Because that's not me.
08:05.9
So, I can't do the whole, like...
08:08.9
You like Filipino music.
08:11.9
You like Filipino music.
08:12.9
I love Filipino music.
08:14.9
When I started DJing, that's when I found out about OPM.
08:17.9
And since then, I really, really fell in love with it.
08:21.9
So, I go to gigs when I have free time.
08:23.9
A lot of my friends are also OPM musicians.
08:26.9
When I listen to OPM, it comforts me in a sort of way.
08:29.9
Even though it's like hardcore rock, I don't know why, but it does.
08:33.9
Even if you can't understand the lyrics?
08:35.9
Yeah, but sometimes I ask what the lyrics means, because I have a teacher.
08:40.9
I saw your tweets last gathering, right?
08:45.9
And you said you dated a Korean.
08:47.9
Three Filipino musicians.
08:50.9
I didn't say Filipino. I said three musicians.
08:54.9
I'm a musician too.
08:57.9
You guys play instruments?
09:00.9
He's the vocalist of Radioactive Segoe.
09:03.9
It's an old band.
09:07.9
So, which came first, the modeling or the DJing?
09:10.9
Definitely the modeling.
09:11.9
When I was in school and college, I already started modeling like second to third year.
09:17.9
I think it was 2011, March, when the FHM issue came out.
09:23.9
And then after that, a lot of people got interested in me.
09:26.9
That's what really broke the band.
09:29.9
So, you have a fan base there called Jinjas.
09:32.9
What is a typical Jinja, aside from a horny adolescent young man?
09:37.9
I guess they like K-pop.
09:39.9
Most of them are geeks also, because I did cosplay before.
09:44.9
And some of them found me through my picture of Psylocke.
09:46.9
Did you start out posing sexy?
09:48.9
It was for a friend's portfolio.
09:50.9
Just wanted to play around.
09:51.9
And then from there, like ad agencies got the picture.
09:53.9
And it was like just fashion.
09:54.9
And then FHM, that was the first.
09:56.9
I'm a photographer, too.
09:57.9
Oh, you're everything.
09:58.9
Yeah, everything.
09:59.9
Well-rounded man.
10:01.9
Do you have stalkers doing freaky things to you?
10:24.9
So here, this one at a time that will probably be double key.
10:27.4
Does he look like a stalker to you?
10:35.1
You have a book that you just launched.
10:37.1
Is this the book?
10:41.1
And by the time, this show airs, Ms. Park has already gone through preventative book signing
10:42.1
at the Manila International Book Fair September 16.
10:43.1
What is the Junwi experience?
10:45.1
So, we started out as just me and the photographer, Jay Tablante, playing around with pictures.
10:53.1
And we actually thought about doing this genre which is called gravure.
10:57.1
It started from Japan. So, it's Japanese models. They have to be sort of unknown models.
11:04.1
Semi-unknown models who take pictures of wearing sexy but their poses are cute.
11:12.1
So, it's a mixture of sexy and cute. And it's just basically all pictures. No words. Not a lot of words.
11:20.1
I don't think you need words.
11:22.1
Yeah. It's a photo book.
11:25.1
So, from then, we took the pictures. Jay actually submitted it to Summit Media and they liked it.
11:34.1
So, they wanted to publish it and make it a book which worked out very well for me.
11:39.1
And it's cheap, huh?
11:40.1
It's very cheap. It's only 190 pesos.
11:43.1
Gravure books go up to 3,000. So, this is very cheap.
11:49.1
And it's good quality.
11:51.1
When did you start becoming comfortable showing skin?
11:55.1
I was never not comfortable with it. Someone just had to make me do it.
12:01.1
Because I wanted to go, can I dress bikini only? I want to do that.
12:06.1
If someone says, can you wear a bikini? I'm fine with that.
12:11.1
So, I don't know.
12:12.1
Do you have an ideal guy?
12:14.1
I really like musicians.
12:16.1
They have to be artsy. I like artsy guys. Creative artsy guys.
12:20.1
I really like Filipinos. Not to be against my race, the Koreans.
12:26.1
So, who's the last musician that you would date?
12:32.1
I'll show you in one practice.
12:34.1
But yeah, I like Filipinos. Funny guys. So, creative, funny Filipinos.
12:40.1
Would you date someone with bigote like him?
12:43.1
Oh, yeah. I like mustaches.
12:48.1
What's a typical day for you like?
12:50.1
In the morning, I kind of wake up early. I wake up early. Of course, I have my coffee. I need it.
12:56.1
And I go to meetings or shoots. That's...
12:59.1
Wait, you wake up early so that means you don't like go shit face every night or party?
13:05.1
No, definitely not. If I drink, I drink like alone in the house.
13:11.1
Or sometimes, I go to gigs. So, I drink beer or two there. But yeah, I wake up...
13:17.1
You can text me if you're alone.
13:22.1
So, you can avoid him.
13:23.1
Yeah. Where are you? Okay, I'm not going there. I wake up, have my coffee. Usually, meetings, client meetings or shoots.
13:30.1
And then, I have my radio which is 4 to 7. The schedule changed. Actually, I was 7 till 11. So, when I was 7 till 11,
13:38.1
after that, I would like have a beer or two with my friends or watch gigs and then sleep. That's my normal day.
13:45.1
Okay. That's a very disciplined kind of lifestyle. You do yoga, I suppose.
13:50.1
I actually don't do anything. I don't go to the gym.
13:55.1
You don't jogging?
13:56.1
No. Before, I used to box a lot. In high school, I did basketball, varsity. I guess because I was a bit taller.
14:04.1
But now, I'm really lazy. So, I don't go to the gym.
14:08.1
I don't work out. I should though. I always say. I've been saying this since 2 years ago. But yeah.
14:16.1
That's disgusting, Jun. Sabalito. What are you doing?
14:29.1
How are you handling this massive pouring of attention? Are you prepared for it?
14:34.1
I don't know if there's a massive.
14:37.1
attention towards me but there's a bit catching up. I'm very, very, very thankful because I'm a foreigner.
14:45.1
And as a foreigner living here alone and people being interested in me, I think that's like a blessing.
14:53.1
And I mean, I don't have any connections to anyone in the industry. So, I'm very thankful. I think I'm ready. I started modeling 2009.
15:04.1
So, I'm very okay, comfortable.
15:07.1
I'm very comfortable in front of the camera. So, yeah.
15:10.1
I like the towel.
15:12.1
Like that. Yeah. You have that effect on him.
15:27.1
Okay. What's the downside of everything?
15:30.1
I really enjoy being a Korean. I like being a Korean but it's also hard sometimes.
15:36.1
Of course, there's gonna be people who don't like the whole K-pop and Korean culture.
15:41.1
Also, the language.
15:44.1
Sometimes, it's hard. But I'm catching up to it. Definitely, I...
15:49.1
You watch Filipino movies?
15:51.1
Yeah, I actually do watch Filipino movies. I listen to Filipino songs a lot, all the time in my car.
15:57.1
In my radio show, I get callers. They speak to me in Tagalog sometimes.
16:05.1
I also love life. So, I need a love life.
16:09.1
What's your favorite Filipino food?
16:14.1
Because every Sunday, when I was young, my dad would buy me halo-halo.
16:17.1
So, that actually grew out on me. So, I love halo-halo. I love ube. Ube ice cream. I love it.
16:25.1
What are your turn-offs? Biggest turn-offs?
16:29.1
I guess when they don't have manners.
16:33.1
They say stuff that they shouldn't at that time.
16:36.1
And when they make jokes that put down people, that's kind of like a turn-off.
16:42.1
That's lang ako tal.
16:43.1
Haha. But physically, I don't know. I don't get turned off by guys, like, physically. I have to get to know them.
16:51.1
And I don't like mayabang guys.
16:53.1
Like, yeah, I know that person, like, dropping names.
16:57.1
You know, like, yeah, I own that. They'll, you know, like, showing off.
17:02.1
What's the most hurtful thing that you've read about you on tweets or social media?
17:10.1
I really like OPM. And I'm not doing this because, like, I'm trying to market myself.
17:16.1
But it hurts when people say, like, oh, she doesn't know anything about it.
17:22.1
Yeah, I don't know a lot, but I still enjoy it.
17:25.1
There's a difference. When they say, like, she doesn't know anything and she's saying that because, you know, she wants attention.
17:32.1
It's not like that.
17:34.1
So that was the most hurtful thing, I guess.
17:36.1
When you hit the videoke, what is the first piece that you choose?
17:39.1
I don't do videoke.
17:44.1
What's the next career path for you?
17:46.1
Well, I did some guestings here and there.
17:49.1
I definitely enjoy comedy more.
17:52.1
If ever acting, I would love to do comedy.
17:55.1
Uh, but then with me, I just really go with the flow.
18:00.1
I never expected to be a model.
18:02.1
It happened. I enjoyed it. I never expected to be a DJ.
18:06.1
You know, I just went with it. And if acting or whatever comes before me, I'll take the chance.
18:13.1
I actually have an article in FHM every month.
18:17.1
Oh, let's talk about that.
18:19.1
You're suddenly plunged in a position of becoming an advisor on the carnal arts.
18:26.1
But my articles are not very like that. It's sort of like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City.
18:30.1
It's like the love and what...
18:33.1
Yeah. What men have to know about women.
18:35.1
Your parents saw this magazine already?
18:40.1
I really hope not because my dad's friends saw my pictures online and he showed it to my dad.
18:47.1
So my dad called me.
18:49.1
And that day, I had a shoot for FHM.
18:52.1
That morning. And he was like, do not do anything else like that.
18:57.1
Promise me or I'm gonna take you back to Korea.
18:59.1
He's like, okay. Went to the shoot.
19:04.1
Note to self, get more blue bikinis. I think I look pretty in them. Don't you think?
19:12.1
I like wearing blue.
19:14.1
I like blue too. I like bikinis. But not to wear them. Just appreciating them from afar.
19:21.1
What would be your last meal?
19:23.1
I am a lacto-vegetarian so I only take dairy products and a buffet of food.
19:29.1
Mostly tofu and cheese.
19:32.1
Oh yeah, halo-halo for dessert.
19:35.1
If you feed it to her, it's like a dog.
19:40.1
So how do you feed it to her?
19:42.1
No. It's not the way to comfort a grieving woman.
19:46.1
Yeah. So what is it? How would you?
19:48.1
If we can stop the cameras.
19:51.1
Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Ginny Park. Thank you.
