Title: Allen Kibum: Role of Hallyu idol in the first drama appearance; "Comedy might suit me"?
韓国の7人組グループ「U-KISS」の元メンバーで現在はソロで活躍する韓国人アイドル、アレン・キボムさん（21）がテレビ東京で放送中の深夜ドラマ「孤独のグルメ」（水曜深夜0時43分～同1時13分）に韓流アイドル役でゲスト出演することが9日、明らかになった。アレンさんは「（今後も日本で）ドラマをやりたいですね。恋愛のドラマだったらうれしいですけど、面白いこともやってみたいです。お笑いが似合うかもしれません」と話している。アレンさんが日本のドラマに出演するのは今回が初めて。
同ドラマは「週刊SPA!」（扶桑社）で不定期連載中の、谷口ジローさん作画、久住昌之さんの人気グルメマンガが原作。雑貨輸入商を営む井之頭五郎（松重豊さん）が、仕事の合間に立ち寄った飲食店で食事をする姿を淡々と描いている。
アレンさんは22日放送の「京浜工業地帯を経て川崎市八丁畷の一人焼肉」の回に出演。日本の焼き肉店でその味に感激し、店に入ろうとする井之頭にそのおいしさを伝えるという役どころだ。
アレンさんは流ちょうな日本語で松重さんやスタッフともコミュニケーションを取りながら撮影に臨んでいたといい「最初は（ドラマは）初めてだし新しい感じで、緊張するかなと思ったけれど面白かったです。演技をするんだって考えなくて、本当に話をしている感じで楽しくできました」とコメント。松重さんの印象を「最初お会いしたときちょっと怖かったです。背も高いし（笑い）。でも、あたたかい笑顔をしてくれたとき本当にうれしかったです。氷が暑いところで全部溶けるみたいな感じでした」と振り返った。松重さんは「（アレンさんは）色白ですてきな好青年ですね。涼しげな笑顔で、こちらまで楽しい気持ちにさせられました」語っており、2人はすっかり打ち解けた様子を見せている。

On Feb 9, it has been announced that Allen Kibum (21), a Korean idol who is a former member of Korean 7-membered group U-KISS and is currently doing solo activity, is making a guess appearance in midnight drama "The Lonely Gourmet" currently airing at TV Tokyo (Wednesday night, 00:43am-01.13am JST). Allen said "In the future, I, too, want to do drama in Japan. I would be happy if it is romantic drama, but I also want to try something interesting. A comedy might suit me." This is Allen's first appearance in Japanese drama.
The above-mentioned drama is based on a popular gourmet manga, an original work by Masayuki Kusumi and drawn by Taniguchi Jiro, which has been irregularly serialized in Weekly SPA! (Fusosha). The story depicts Inogashira Goro (played by Matsushige Yutaka), who enganged in imported dried goods business and liked to stop by restaurants and showed indifferent expression while eating, in between his work.
Allen will appear in the episode 'Hitori yakiniku at Hacchonawate, Kawasaki, Keihin Industrial Zone' that will be broadcast on Feb 22. The character he had to act out was one who was deeply impressed with the taste of yakiniku in a Japanese restaurant and while entering the restaurant, he tried to convey how delicious the taste was to Inogashira.
While attending the filming session, Allen used Japanese street-slang to communicate with Matsushige as well as the crews. "Initially, because it was my first time doing drama, it was a new experience and I felt nervous, but it was also interesting. Regarding acting, it was really fun as it involved dialogue," he commented. About his impression of Matsushige, "When I first met him, I was a bit scared. He was so tall (laughs). But when he showed me his warm smile, I felt really happy. The feeling was like all the ice melted at once because of the warmth," he recounted. "Allen was such a nice, fair-skinned young man. With his cool smile, he brought about an enjoyable mood to the place," said Matsushige, showing how the two were being completely frank to each other.
The recording (behind-the-scene) of the drama will be broadcast on the live program for information about Asia, which Allen is being a regular on Fridays, 'Made in BS Japan Asia Love' (BS Japan, Feb 17, from 6pm-6.55pm JST).
