[Interview] ‘Magazine M’ Interviews Taeyeon and Seohyun for ‘Despicable Me 2′

[haruki_]

How did you interpret Margo and Edith?

Taeyeon: I tried not to be different from the previous movie. I took out playfulness because Margo is a reliable first child. I just acted like me. Something like a simple and composed older sister.
Seohyun: Edith is a little brat and a punk, just like a boy. The fact that she is so playful makes her similar to me. I get really playful when I’m with a close unnie or friends. My facial expression turned into that of a brat when I was recording.

Wasn’t it hard acting out Margo, who was in love for the first time?

Taeyeon: I acted very blankly, using my experience of falling in love. Honestly, Antonio is not my type. Margo had many changes of emotions this time, so I had a variety of emotions to act out.

Is a boyfriend like Antonio not acceptable?

Seohyun: I’m sorry, but he is totally not acceptable. I don’t really like the greasy type. I wish he didn’t talk like that too.
Taeyeon: I wish his eyes had a bit more focus. They’re always so blank.

What directions did the audio director give?

Taeyeon: He asked me to be a bit more cheerful because there were times when I sounded too mature.
Seohyun: I sometimes sounded too young when trying to act Edith’s young voice. Every time I did that, the director asked me to get a bit older. It was comfortable and familiar working with the director because he was the same director from the previous movie.

Seohyun could take the youngest, Agnes’, voice.

Seohyun: I really wanted to. I can do a really good job. I want to actually have the cute Agnes as my sister. But I like Edith too.

Did you feel any attraction to the profession of a voice actor after you’ve tried it?

Seohyun: I actually wanted to be a voice actor since I was young. It’s a charming profession. I actually tried dubbing for variety shows along with other voice actors because I liked the job so much.
Taeyeon: I am interested in everything that has to do with vocals. I did want to try voice acting, but as I worked, it was hard synchronizing and there was a lot to be concerned with. I also think it will be hard interpreting different characters if I actually become a voice actor.

How did you prepare for the dubbing?

Taeyeon, Seohyun: We went and watched the previous movie to get into the feel. We were really good. It was a bit more burdensome.

How did you feel listening to your voices through the screen?

Seohyun: It was fun. I had no idea how it would be like because I recorded it separately (translator’s note: from the other voice actors), but it was fascinating to actually see the character in the whole movie.
Taeyeon: It was the same for me too. Honestly, there were a lot of parts where I was not happy with my work, because I didn’t know how the other voice actors would be linked to my voice.

What was the most memorable line?

Taeyeon: ‘I am Margo.’ Margo just blankly repeated this line no matter what Antonio said, because she fell for him.
Seohyun: The line I say to her after seeing Antonio. ‘I can say this first right? Yuck!’

What was the most difficult aspect?

Taeyeon: I had to scream in surprise after seeing a minion, and that was hard. I moved to the back of the recording studio and screamed for no reason. I imagined I was on a ride in an amusement park.
Seohyun: Coughing. I had to hint at Margo but it was hard to do it with a changed voice. The volume had to be loud, I couldn’t make it too childish. It was hard in many ways.

Where was the most fun part?

Taeyeon, Seohyun: When the minions came out!

What are the charms of the minions?

Taeyeon: When the minions sing in the end, they sing something with the lyrics that say ‘stinky’. That’s the point. They roll around in the grass while singing and they’re really cute. Their language, which you don’t understand but get the gist of it, is also interesting.
Seohyun: They have the charms that you get from a pet. They are like a friend because they don’t always listen, and I think I wouldn’t be lonely with them. I would like the minions with two eyes if possible.

It has been said that you dubbed one of the smaller roles in the movie. What kind of character was it?

Taeyeon: The hostess lady in the restaurant that Gru went to to have his blind date. I say, ‘One moment’, with a greasy voice. I dubbed the character because the director recommended it, and I wasn’t upset by the fact that it was a lady. I was more comfortable with that character.
Seohyun: I was the bad redhead in Gru’s flashback. When the Gru pokes Lisa, the girl he likes, in order to confess his feelings for her, she screams, ‘Gru poked Lisa! Lisa is going to get cooties!!’ I totally changed my voice for it.

What do you think is the reason that ‘Despicable Me’ is so successful?

Seohyun: I get a ‘happy virus’ after watching the movie. It takes us back to our childhood, and it’s a movie that makes you laugh when you’re tired.
Taeyeon: It has a plot that a variety of age groups can relate to.

As a singer, please rate the minions’ vocal skills.

Taeyeon: They have a slight vibration that quivers. It sounds like Jung Hyungdon oppa’s low quality vibrations.
Seohyun: The have a unique vibration and a really charming voice. It has an addictive aspect to it.

If there is a ‘Despicable Me 3′, would you dub it?

Seohyun: I have a lot of attachment to it. It’s a movie that makes you happy. I would definitely like to do the next movie.
Taeyeon: I would definitely do the next movie too. I love the music, and it’s a movie that has many charming aspects to it. I’d like Margo to have more scenes. Our member Tiffany is a huge fan of ‘Despicable Me’, and she is really envious of us.

[Interview] Tiffany for ‘NYLON’ Magazine’s October Issue

[haruki_]

NYLON: Korea’s now getting chilly, but Bali’s as hot as ever.
Tiffany: This is my first time coming here, but it’s nice because it’s a leisure schedule. This is almost my last individual photoshoot schedule right before promotions start, and I probably shouldn’t say this, but today feels most like a ‘vacation’.

NYLON: You do well in photoshoots and have done a lot too. Today’s shoot was unlike usual ones, smiling less with a haughty concept. How was it?
Tiffany: I didn’t think I’d be doing the shoot with a bobbed hairstyle, but it was fresh and fun. Because it’s the first time having that hair in a while, I think my fans will like it. It’s fun viewing the wig collection that was prepared as well.

NYLON: You give a lot of your opinions during photoshoots, right?
Tiffany: I’ve always taken part in the planning for photoshoots I’ve done thus far. I’ve also taken part in it for shoots in a different medium, and I really like these processes. When working on photoshoots, giving an opinion through another person is different from me, personally, adding on my senses to express things, right? I actually have thoughts of wanting to do styling, myself, in the future. While I did do some styling when doing unit activities, I think it would be nice to show it through photoshoots too.

NYLON: What kind of style are you wanting to show through a photoshoot?
Tiffany: I’ve totally been into the movie, ‘The Great Gatsby’, lately. I liked it so much when I first watched it, I watched it six times from start to finish. The styling in the movie is really like art! So I wondered how it would be to do a photoshoot with the 1920s as the background. It would be better if the theme was ‘The Great Gatsby’.

NYLON: When watching the news, one day you’re in Korea, another in the U.S., and another day in Hong Kong. Just how often do you go overseas?
Tiffany: In a week, I’m overseas for about 5 days, and in Korea for 2. I didn’t count how many times I’ve been on a plane because it was troublesome, but when my parents saw the passports and ticket stubs I’ve saved, they get surprised and ask, “How many are there?” I had over 40. But, what’s really funny is that those were only the ones that I saved from February to May. Haha.

NYLON: You go around the entire world. Where’s your favorite place?
Tiffany: I think it can only be LA. Because before I came to Korea, that was my home and all my family members are there. When I go home to LA, all of my family gets together, and my room is still there. To be honest, I’ve been working close to 10 years and when I’m alone in Korea, it doesn’t feel like I’m at home. Of course, when I’m with my members at the dorm, it does feel like home.

NYLON: When we don’t see you in Korea, during that time, you often had concerts overseas. Aren’t you exhausted, physically?
Tiffany: I think I really have the physique of a performer. The others are amazing as well. To be honest, it’s not easy moving in the morning when doing a tour and preparing for a concert, but I’m always in a good condition. It’s to the point where my members occasionally say, “How is she in that physical state in the morning?” Even during rehearsals, while I could warm up slowly, I adamantly say to do one more song, surprising my members.

NYLON: Do you normally have good physical health?
Tiffany: I’m a corpse when I’m not doing a concert. (laughs) When I’m all tired and exhausted, if there’s a concert or practice, I’m the type to drink coffee or an energy drink and say, “Go!” So, in a few words, I have the physique of a performer?

NYLON: What do you tend to do with leftover time?
Tiffany: Other people watch a lot of TV, but I don’t watch as much TV. If I do, I keep up with music programs. The reasons why I watch music shows are because I need to know what’s popular these days, and because I have an interest in directing, there is a lot to see. Also, I try to make sure to watch dramas or variety shows my members are in. I watch ‘Dancing 9’ with Yuri and Hyoyeon without fail. Oh yeah, I don’t really watch dramas, but one I watched the original broadcast was ‘That Winter, The Wind Blows’.

NYLON: Because of Jo Insung?
Tiffany: That’s right. Because of him! You don’t know how much I kept up with the broadcast. I would tell all the other members to move and held onto the remote control. I normally never do that.

NYLON: Now that I think about it, your birthday passed not too long ago. Now that you’re in your mid-20s, are there any worries you’ve been getting, unlike before?
Tiffany: I think I worry most about my group. We’ve gotten more individual time and because all of our physical health and conditions differ, I wonder what we can do to pull out our best. Simply, if in the past, everything was good; now, everyone’s health isn’t like how it was in the past, so…

NYLON: Haha, that’s true. Because Girls’ Generation ages too.
Tiffany: That’s right. In the past, because we didn’t ride the plane much, we could reserve our strength. But nowadays, that’s not the case, so we have to allot our strength so I worry about those things. Like, ‘What do we have to do for Girls’ Generation to give their best?’

NYLON: Getting older, do you feel yourself maturing?
Tiffany: I do, a lot. Before, when I would do photoshoots with mature concepts with my members, it didn’t seem to really suit us. I guess it came out really young girl-like? But lately, along with our attitudes because everyone has matured, those appearances don’t look awkward.

NYLON: You’ll be busy when you start activities in Korea again. Is there anything you want to do before then?
Tiffany: I want to vacation in Europe. Not one or two days, but for a little longer. But no matter how much I think about it, because of schedules, I don’t think it’d be easy to do within this year. Even more so with activities coming up. Though I’m sad, satisfying my fans is also something I want to do, so I think it will be okay to postpone my Europe trip a bit.

[haruki_]

Lee Seojin, who was a guest on tvN’s “Taxi”, chose Sunny as his favorite among the Girls’ Generation members because of her bright personality. Sunny recently was a guest on tvN’s “Grandpa Over Flowers” and even stayed an extra day despite her busy schedule. On the show, she cheered everyone up with her bright smile and personality, which made Lee Seojin like her even more. The MCs of “Taxi” also asked him if he would see Sunny as a potential love interest, but Lee Seojin smartly dodged the question.

[Interview] Taeyeon and Seohyun Discuss ‘Despicable Me 2′ in Interview with Cine21

[haruki_]

Continuing on from the original film, Taeyeon and Seohyun were in charge of the voice acting for Margo and Edith in “Despicable Me 2″. The oldest, Margo, who nagged and frugally took care of her younger sisters, has already greeted adolescence with heartaches over her first love. Edith had grown into a tomboy, learning all sorts of sports and martial arts. When asked one thing, Taeyeon and Seohyun would exchange a bundle of chatter. Despite the passed time, like the unruly sisters in “Despicable Me”, the Taeyeon and Seohyun who we met three years later through Cine21’s magazine were still bright and innocent girls.

You’re taking part in the sequel after the first film.

Seohyun: I used to think, ‘We’re going to do the next series, too!’, so it was really nice when they called for us again. Edith had become an even more mischievous girl.
Taeyeon: Wouldn’t the audience dislike the change in an unchanged character’s voice? Margo fell in love and became more mature.

What do you think about guys like Margo’s first love, Antonio?

Taeyeon: He’s a bit far from my ideal type. (laughs) I wish he’d be less greasy. When Antonio’s hair flutters, his flirtiness and charms also fly with it.

Margo and Edith’s appearance has decreased a lot.

Seohyun: It’s a pity. However, the significance of being able to take part in the “Despicable Me” series is greater.
Taeyeon: I don’t know if it’s because she got a little older, but Agnes really talks a lot! (laughs) There’s a lot of appearances by Lucy as well. Ahjumma, you’re mean~. (laughs) [Translator's note: ahjumma=middle-aged woman]

It seems the daughters don’t really welcome their new mother well.

Taeyeon: No. I’m just kidding. (laughs)
Seohyun: Now, wouldn’t life get better for the family since Lucy will put the kids to sleep on time, make them food, and bathe them well?

What kind of reaction did your other members have when they found out you would be dubbing again?

Seohyun: They all really liked it. Tiffany unnie said she’d come to today’s preview. Sunny unnie said she’d bring her nephew. They really liked when the minions came out to the airport the day we were leaving the country for our world tour.
Taeyeon: They all really liked it when we watched the subtitled version before our dubbing.
Seohyun: But they like Agnes the most. I’m sad! (laughs)

What’s the main part in voice acting for Margo and Edith?

Taeyeon: There can’t be a big difference from the first movie. Because the character is young, it was difficult trying to sound like a child’s voice. Margo now experiences a heartbreaking first love and disobeys her dad. I’m gaining an attachment towards her because it seems she’s slowly becoming like me. (laughs) I think that’s why I showed myself more a bit comfortably.
Seohyun: There was a time where I wanted to become a voice actress when I was younger. I think my experience, playing around, imitating the characters in cartoons, naturally affected it. While studying the character by myself, I thought a lot about what kind of voice she would speak in. Because it’s a young role, a boy’s voice that isn’t too feminine was also needed. When recording, I wrinkled my face similar to Edith’s.

If you were given the opportunity to play another character, who would you play?

Seohyun: Agnes! I want to play the role of either a really young child, or a really old grandmother. I think I would be able to do well.
Taeyeon (to Seohyun): Don’t you think it’d be difficult for another character as cute as Agnes to come about? I want to try Lucy’s role. I think it would be more comfortable to play than a young role.

What would be the point of focus for ‘Despicable Me 2’ if you were to choose one?

Taeyeon: We each did the voices for another character other than the ones we were in charge of. They are characters who pass by quickly. But try looking for our hidden voices~.
Seohyun: If I was to give you a hint, I’m a character who appears when Gru is reminiscing. It’s a movie that all generations can identify with, so I hope everyone would watch it with their family.
Taeyeon: The music is really nice, too. It’s good to go with friends, too. Music they play in clubs come on. (laughs)

[News] Taeyeon and Seohyun Appear on ‘Mnet Wide News’ for ‘Despicable Me 2′

[haruki_]

Taeyeon and Seohyun were recently interviewed on “Mnet Wide News” about their promotions for “Despicable Me 2″, including the opening pitch ceremony they participated in several weeks ago.

The program shows clips of Taeyeon and Seohyun’s recent appearance at the premiere of “Despicable Me 2”, interspersed with clips of the two in the middle of voice-acting and introducing their characters in the movie, Margo and Agnes.

The two also speak a bit about how fond they are of the “minions”, which the program highlights with a clip of the Instagram video Taeyeon took of a set of minions who greeted Girls’ Generation at Incheon Airport.

The program then transitions into Taeyeon and Seohyun’s recent appearance as part of the opening pitch ceremony for an LG Twins baseball game. Seohyun mentions, “Honestly, I was more nervous than [Taeyeon] was. Where was she going to throw it? She wasn’t going to throw it at my face, was she?” Taeyeon playfully brushes off the accuracy of her pitch, referring to it as a “shot-pitch” and comments, “At least I didn’t plant it in the ground~”.

The girls are then asked a series of miscellaneous questions, such as “Who is the messiest member in the dorm?”, and “Who takes the best ‘funny’ pictures?” For the first question, Taeyeon singles herself out as the messiest, commenting that she has a dog who likes to run around and mess things up. Meanwhile, Seohyun selects Tiffany, reasoning that her family’s home in the United States is very far away, so her stuff tends to pile up.

For the second question, both members reply that out of all the Girls’ Generation members, Sooyoung takes the funniest pictures, and that Sooyoung has angles and facial muscles that the other members didn’t even know existed.

[News] Seohyun Prepares for Her Upcoming Drama

[haruki_]

Seohyun has been hard at work preparing for her upcoming role as Han Yurim in the new SBS weekend drama, “Passionate Love”.

Photos of Seohyun diligently studying her sсript were released on September 6th. To more naturally express situations that she hasn’t experienced before, Seohyun hasn’t let go of her sсript while awake or asleep. She has also been doing image training to better portray her role as an intelligent university student.

Soon to be playing her first acting role, Seohyun said, “As ‘Passionate Love’ is my first work, it means a lot and is special to me. I’m really happy that I can fulfill a part of my life through ‘Passionate Love’.” She also also added, “These days, my head is filled with Yurim all day, and that’s how much I’m into ‘Passionate Love’. There will probably be a lot that I lack because it is my first attempt, but I will try to fulfill [the role] through hard work.”

The first episode of “Passionate Love” will air on September 28th on SBS.
