[News] Jessica Selected as banila co.’s New Muse + MV for Jessica’s ‘Heart Road’

[haruki_]

Jessica has just been selected as the official muse for banila co., a brand that sells beauty products.

On their official Facebook page, banila co. staff indicated that advertisement shootings began last Thursday on September 20th. They wrote, “Jessica must have been getting really exhausted as the recording time got longer, but she enjoyed the scene with a bright expression. She showed a ‘star’s elegance’ while carefully monitoring her own appearance!”

They further described, “Jessica, who is called an ‘Ice Princess’, melted the hearts of the entire shooting staff, not with her distinctive chic charms, but with freshness and cuteness. Jessica, who became banila co.’s new muse, has an image that is feminine even when she bounces. Doesn’t she resemble banila co. so much? Please leave a short message you want to say to Jessica and banila co., as well as a comment on which product suits Jessica the best! We will draw from the people who left a comment and send three people a special gift.”

[Interview] Yoona Featured in October Issue of ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ Magazine

[haruki_]

In the drama “Love Rain”, Yoona went naturally from a 1970′s college student to a gardener living in the year 2012. She balanced it out between being composed and outgoing, easygoing and graceful, and mature and cheerful. Standing in front of a camera in a studio for the first time since the drama ended, she shows a variation of black (editor Ahn Dongsun, photographed by Kim Sangon).

In the drama “Love Rain”, Yoona went naturally from a 1970′s college student to a gardener living in the year 2012. She balanced it out between being composed and outgoing, easygoing and graceful, and mature and cheerful. Standing in front of a camera in a studio for the first time since the drama ended, she shows a variation of black (editor Ahn Dongsun, photographed by Kim Sangon).

On the way to interview Yoona, I was flooded with requests for her autograph. I headed to the studio carrying a recorder and autograph papers for the photographer’s brother-in-law, who wanted to come to the photoshoot, my assistant, whose boyfriend has Yoona as his iPhone lockscreen background, and to complete the mission given to me by my younger brother on “KakaoTalk”. While they say a person’s looks are just superficial, there are time when their looks are transparent and show that person as they are. When you meet a celebrity you’ve only seen on TV in person, the person’s image seen without any medium tells you a lot. I look at Yoona standing under the high lights. Her straight forehead, tranquil eyes, and the slim, long lines that make her body. (I don’t know if someone will be able to find any traces of Photoshop being used, but we did not make any revisions to make her legs longer or arms slimmer.) The first interview and photoshoot, being done months after the drama “Love Rain’ ended”. While many different emotions may be rising from within, such as being unfamiliar, feeling greedy, having fun, and feeling tired, a relaxing silence is encircling Yoona like a cloud. In one word, she was mature.

When asked how she felt about “Love Rain” not being able to gain a lot of attention in Korea, while gaining a lot of popularity being aired on Fuji TV in Japan, Yoona did not lose her sense of maturity.

“I wasn’t distressed over viewer ratings not being high from the start. Of course, it would have been nice if the ratings were high and caused a social boom. But the fact that it was director Yoon Sukho and writer Oh Sooyeon’s drama was something satisfying in itself, regardless of the ratings. I feel very thankful that it is getting much attention in Japan. I also think that gentle sensibility also suits the Japanese peoples’ emotions well. People of various ages come and ask for a handshake when I go to Japan while ‘Love Rain’ is currently airing, telling me that they’re watching the drama well. It’s amazing and I feel good.”

An actor attempting a work that they don’t think they could ever accomplish predicts their fulfillment, and “Love Rain” was like that for Yoona. In this drama, which was her third time acting as the main character, she took on the role of an innocent university student in the 1970′s, Kim Yoonhee, as well as a cheerful gardener in the year 2012, Jung Hana. As if it wasn’t enough acting out the role of someone who was born twenty years before she was, she had to play two different characters and juggle Girls’ Generation’s schedules too. She had to go through a repetitive schedule of going down to Daegu at dawn to film the scenes taking place in the 70′s, and, in order to appear on music programs, she would come back up to Seoul, and head back down to Daegu again.

“In the drama, Yoonhee is sick. But there wasn’t any reason for her to act sick. Because she was already exhausted.”

Like what her manager said [in the previous quote], there were days that she had to endure hardships both physically and mentally.

“But, what’s fun is that, after suffering like that filming as Yoonhee, it was really easy filming as Hana later on. I guess you really gain hard-working skills through work (laugh).”

In the summer of 2007, a month before Girls’ Generation debuted, Yoona made her face known through the drama “9 Ends 2 Outs”. After that, she became the heroine that even elders liked: Saebyuk in “You Are My Destiny”. Then, she made another attempt at acting, this time as a brave designer who goes about the Dongdaemun market in “Cinderella Man” alongside Kwon Sangwoo. And now her first work in two years. Yoona learned a new method of approach to dramas through this.

“In the past, I had a tendency to just go at things, but I think I approached this character after a little more analysis. Before, when it came to emotional scenes, I would listen to sad songs and recall sad things that I’ve encountered. But this time, I substituted myself in the place of Yoonhee and Hana, and acted out the emotions as is. And so it was really difficult acting as Yoonhee. I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t live in that generation, but it was difficult trying to understand those analog emotions, too. I had endless thoughts as to what I may have been like if I were Yoonhee. When it came to Hana, she was a bright, easy-going character, so it was a relief that there were so many similarities between her and my actual self. Anyway, approaching acting like this was different and it was interesting.”

Now that she’s beginning to earn a taste for acting, when asked what kind of character she wants to play, Yoona answered within three seconds. Her reply of wanting to play any role, as long as it is written by Kim Eunsook, flew out.

“I really, really, really want to try [acting in her work]. Of course, I will have to improve my acting skills so that I don’t make her work one that fails (laugh).”

Yoona’s voice got one tone higher when “On Air” and “Secret Garden” were mentioned. She had said she enjoyed watching those two dramas the most.

“I like how the characters in writer Kim Eunsook’s works aren’t too excessive or restrained. While it seems like what you hear in a drama, it also really seems like everyday life. So you gradually agree with things and focus on it without having to try to understand it. Also, I really like the sсript! Because of the lines that come into your ears so easily, you can’t miss a word.”

It was the moment when Yoona, who only appeared calm and mature, turned into “heartily laughing Yoona” (something her fans call her when she laughs loudly with her mouth wide open). Yoona’s real charm is actually these unexpected things. When you just look at her, she appears feminine, coy, and seems like she’d be quiet, but people around her attest that this is not true at all.

“Whether she’s sleeping or eating in the middle of filming, if the cue sign is dropped, she’s the type who just looks into a mirror briefly and then gets in front of the camera.”

“She’s a total comedian off camera. From ‘Kim Kkot Deu Rae’ and ‘Nahp Deuk Yi’ (characters in the ‘Gag Concert’ segment “School of Mental Breakdown”), she imitates all the characters in comedy programs. All the members of Girls’ Generation are funny, but the top three are Yoona, Sooyoung, and Hyoyeon.”

[Translator's note: the two previous statements were not said by Yoona, but her manager/staff.]

Sure enough. Once she got used to the studio, when the monitor showed that the bandage on her leg was visible through the slit in the Gucci dress (something the photographer worked the hardest on), she laughed saying, “Ah, look at that, that’s something you want to see, Isn’t it? Heh heh.” She’s a cheerful young lady who knows how to pleasantly caricature herself.

Going back to the beginning, I think the calmness and tranquility you feel from Yoona are the essence of a professional’s concentration skills. After joining SM Entertainment when she was in middle school, she spent her trainee days improving her details. She spent her days training, trying to reach the goal she had set. At that moment, time had probably stopped for Yoona. Then five years after her debut. The moment she gets on stage, she gains the confidence that what she’s trained for thus far manifests itself. The clock that stopped moving while she was training started moving again. Through all the ten years or so, I think Yoona was able to realize how to handle her well-trained self for music, acting, and poses without knowing it. When I told her that this was what I thought while looking at how she poses in front of the camera without difficulties or forcing it, Yoona took in the words with a deeply engaged facial expression.

“I’m not sure. During my trainee days, I devoted myself to learning without any worries. While every now and then I did worry about all this hard work not being able to bloom into a flower later on, I realized something while I stood on stage and acted. Each and every minor gesture I made a long time ago and the acting lessons I received are all left somewhere within me. But, I’m still not yet entirely sure as to where those things are, and what I have to do for them to come out. There are also times where it feels like all those things have disappeared. I hold a belief that, as I get older and gain more experiences, I will be able to get closer to acting.”

But when I asked what film left an impression on her recently, she said it was the Indian film “3 idiots”, which she had watched on the plane. Shouldn’t she go to the movie theaters and date so that she gets closer with acting?

“When I’m not promoting an album, I’m doing a drama. When the drama ends, overseas activities would follow right after. There have been a lot of times where I think, ‘I really want to rest!’, but when I actually do get a vacation, I don’t know what I should do. There are times when I think being busy is a lot better. For some odd reason, after resting for a week, I want to rest more and I lose that drive. I want to go to the movies and date, but I can’t just be free within the public’s eyes. But I think that’s a weight you have to deal with from the start if you want to become a celebrity. And I’m happy that weight is a lot lighter than the love from fans.”

Yoona has returned to her mature mode again. At that moment, the balancing device somewhere inside her body started blinking brightly once more.

[Interview] Sooyoung Featured in Cover Story for ’1st Look’

[haruki_]

Sooyoung is featured in the cover story for the 29th issue of “1st Look” magazine. In addition to a stylish photo shoot, Sooyoung took part in an interview where she discussed life, fashion, and becoming an actress in a drama.

Sooyoung has been going between being a singer and an MC while also making her place as an actress with the character named “Lee Euijin” in tvN’s “The 3rd Hospital”. In front of my eyes, she is talking about the lives of “Euijin” and “Sooyoung” in a soft, calm voice, while at this exact moment she has filled this studio as the muse for designer Song Jain’s “J.Lite” line.

Sooyoung has been going between being a singer and an MC while also making her place as an actress with the character named “Lee Euijin” in tvN’s “The 3rd Hospital”. In front of my eyes, she is talking about the lives of “Euijin” and “Sooyoung” in a soft, calm voice, while at this exact moment she has filled this studio as the muse for designer Song Jain’s “J.Lite” line.

It seems like you keep getting prettier. I can’t call you a ‘girl’ because I feel you’re mature.
Sooyoung: Thank you. I want to keep getting prettier. Haha.

You’ve been gaining attention as a fashionista lately. Do you normally have a lot of interest in fashion?
Sooyoung: While I do like that kind of attention, honestly, it’s burdensome. I just like what’s comfortable. My motto lately is ‘back to basic’. Wearing a white t-shirt with jeans and sneakers looks most stylish. It’s a burden trying to meet the expectations as a fashionista, because I’m starting to like comfortable things.

What do you think about the J.Lite outfit you wore for today’s shoot? It looks like they’re normally your clothes.
Sooyoung: I’ve liked Song Jain’s clothes before I debuted, so I went to see her collections occasionally. I think that the cute teddy bear marking in particular shows off her environment-friendly mind well. The design seems like a rider jacket or biker pants, but because the material is washed, it’s comfortable and stylish. If I were to mix and match, similar to today’s photoshoot styling, I think it would be more than enough wearing just J.Lite all week.

As a fashionista, is there a style you would recommend for this fall?
Sooyoung: I’m embarrassed that you called me a fashionista. I think jeans, a cotton t-shirt, a leather jacket, and throwing on a scarf indifferently would be nice. I think people look beautiful when they’re most comfortable. I think I will wear J.Lite often because of that reason.

You’ve made your attempt at a drama through ‘The 3rd Hospital’. I’m curious as to how it was when you were filming.
Sooyoung: At first, I was worried because I thought I’d be nervous, but as I took on each episode, I was able to focus on acting more comfortably. It’s probably because the senior actors helped create a comfortable atmosphere so that I would be able to focus. Seungwoo oppa always matched my level and was considerate. Jiho oppa is the type that plays around a lot and creates a good atmosphere. They also gave me lots of advice on acting. There is a lot to learn, and being able to act with these seniors who shared everything with me itself was a good fortune.

What kind of character is the role of ‘Lee Euijin’?
Sooyoung: While she’s a loveable character, on the other hand, I feel that she is a very mature person. At first, she may seem like a light person, but after reading the entire sсript, the ‘Euijin’ I got to know is a cool woman who is not afraid of sacrificing herself and getting hurt for love.

The role has a crush. An actress who crushes on someone either receives sympathy or hatred. Which do you think you would receive?
Sooyoung: If you look closely, she’s a ‘harmful’ character. ‘Euijin’ is the exact type of person that girls don’t like. She falls and spills coffee easliy… I actually worried that she’s a character who would leave a bad impression, but they were all actions made to cover the scars of the person she loves. And, because she’s a character that acts honestly, I believe viewers will sympathize with her.

I heard it’s a character that goes back and forth between comedy and tragedy. Which side do you think suits you?
Sooyoung: I feel like I’ve become that character when playing around and when I have lines that are like those of a comedy, like the character is really alive. On the other hand, when acting out the emotional scenes, it makes me think that I really am inside this drama. I was able to focus naturally. After acting out a tragic scene, there were many times where I could not even remember how I even acted. At times like that, it makes me think, ‘I really did focus then.’ Both sides were interesting experiences.

As we talked, I noticed that it seems like you really focused on your character. Was acting normally your dream?
Sooyoung: I had a greedy side for acting even before I debuted as a singer. Before I debuted as a singer, I went through preparations in order to become an actress. I think I’ve failed to pass about 70 auditions. Still, I couldn’t give up. I worked on it consistently, and little by little. And now I have been able to take on a role like this.

It’s unbelievable that Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung took 70 auditions.
Sooyoung: ‘What [great] work is trying to get to me that I’m having to go through this [having to audition so much]? I dare you to come to me. I’m really going to work hard. I’m going to do my best.’ I don’t know how many times I’ve repeated this to myself. But after being greedy and fussing over it, I could see that side of me when acting. Then I would feel uncomfortable… And I would feel sorry to my character. So I put everything down, and after taking it on with the thought of starting all over again, everything got comfortable.

I’m aware that you received a number of offers for other works. Is there a reason why you chose ‘The 3rd Hospital’ out of all of them?
Sooyoung: I liked the fact that the role of ‘Euijin’ was one that needed to be in the drama. Rather than whether the role I have is big or small, it’s more important knowing if the role is present at the center of the story.

It’s your first time acting in a drama. Were there any difficulties?
Sooyoung: Acting with my eyes closed was really hard. Haha. Acting with my eyes closed, acting like I’m sleeping, it was hard having my eyes closed while focusing my attention at one place.

Still, I would think critical eyes like negative comments would make it hard.
Sooyoung: From the general public’s perspective, they’re used to singing Sooyoung, and acting Sooyoung is unfamiliar. But, asking for them to love acting Sooyoung like singing Sooyoung would be greedy. The viewers see the end results. Whether it’s a reporter or singer, there isn’t a person that doesn’t have a process. Everyone puts forth effort, so you have no choice but to win through the end result. I’m still at the starting line, so I’m trying to accept those appraisals humbly.

Isn’t it a big burden?
Sooyoung: Worrying about what people might think stops right before I start acting. There isn’t any one person that everyone likes. And, if you try to be liked by everyone, I don’t think you can be happy. So, if 50 people like me and 50 don’t, I feel that I just need to grow more and move the hearts of the remaining people [of the 50 that don't like me]. I felt more relaxed thinking like that. I try to accept the fact that there are people who will dislike me.

Being able to acknowledge that, I feel like you’re a lot more mature than I am.
Sooyoung: The career of a celebrity is destined to be critiqued and judged by people anyway. If you can’t acknowledge those things, don’t you think you shouldn’t have chosen this career?

What type of person is ‘Choi Sooyoung’?
Sooyoung: To be honest, I don’t know myself well. I thought I didn’t like being held in a mold, but if you look at it another way, being in a mold can be relaxing. You can’t say I’m always a relaxed person either, because I try not to break rules that I’ve set. But if I feel uncomfortable, I break them again… I know for sure that I’m not typical.

You can regulate it well with words, but you’re a very distressed character.
Sooyoung: That’s right. People tell me I’m easy-going, but I’m not. I’m a picky person. What I picture when thinking about an easy-going person is someone who expresses things honestly, but I tend to think about the other person’s feelings a bit more. I think I’m timid. 1st Look: You’re not timid but careful. A timid person can’t be considerate of others’ feelings. The other person being comfortable is what makes me comfortable, and so I pay a lot of attention to the other person’s mood.

Isn’t it time for you to start dating now?
Sooyoung: People around me are making a fuss, telling me to date. I wish they would stop now. I think it’s a problem that I have to take care of myself. ‘Can I ask why you won’t date?’ It’s because I haven’t found anyone comfortable enough. My standards aren’t high, but I haven’t met anyone I can converse with well.

A comfortable guy who is not charming, or an uncomfortable but charming guy. Which would you choose?
Sooyoung: The comfortable guy. That is what’s charming about him. I think I’m past the age to like bad boys.

Really? Girls are attracted to bad boys, regardless of how old you are.
Sooyoung: Still, I like a comfortable person. I want to meet someone who makes me feel comfortable and just enjoy being together. I’m comfortable with the other person being comfortable, so I’m the type that tries to help make the other person feel comfortable. I want to meet a guy who knows that I do this and makes me feel comfortable.

I’m curious as to what type of woman you are.
Sooyoung: I am a very comfortable woman. I try to make the other person just as comfortable as they make me feel. I don’t want to make them feel uncomfortable. I want to be a woman that people want to lean on. I’m actually feminine. I make cupcakes and bake cookies. When I get married, I want to cut fruits and take them to my husband at work. I want to show off and be a comfortable girlfriend.

What does ‘comfort’ mean to you?
Sooyoung: The most important value in my life!

[News] Jung Hyungdon Calls Sunny on ‘Weekly Idol’

[haruki_]

On September 19th, Jung Hyungdon, a host of “Weekly Idol” with Defconn, called Girls’ Generation’s Sunny during the show’s recording for a short but humorous conversation over the phone. Sunny, immediately suspicious, answered the phone asking, “Is this for a show again?”
Hyungdon responded by saying, “No, I called because I wanted to hear your voice. What do you mean for a show?”
Still suspicious, Sunny asked, “What day is today? It’s Wednesday. Is this for Infinite Challenge?” (Editor’s note: Hyungdon is a regular cast member on another show called ‘Infinite Challenge’.)
Changing the subject, Hyungdon asked Sunny what she was doing. She answered that she was staying at the dorm, saying, “We need a day to rest too.”
The discussion then moved onto alcohol, with Hyungdon asking, “Did you have a drink last night?” After Sunny said that she hadn’t, Hyungdon asked, “Why haven’t you bought me liquor like you said you would when you balance your account?” (Editor’s note: Hyungdon is referring to finances.) Sunny laughed, saying that she had promised him soju, not liquor, and told Hyungdon that she would come to buy him some if he came out to visit.
Still believing that Hyungdon had called her for a show, Sunny asked, “Why do you always call me during shows? Do you really not have any personal connections?”
Hyungdon answered, “You’re my best friend”, before finally admitting that they were recoding for “Weekly Idol”, and said, “You’re the greatest personal connection that I have, Soonkyu.”
Later, Hyungdon asked Sunny when Girls’ Generation’s comeback would take place. She answered, “I think Girls’ Generation might be able to comeback in Korea soon.”
Finally, Sunny requested that Hyungdon include her name if good ranking categories, such as “An Idol I Want To Marry”, were discussed on “Weekly Idol”. (Editor’s note: “Weekly Idol” often ranks idols according to certain categories, such as “Most Athletic” or “Best Voice”.) Defconn also suggested, “Idol That Would Make A Good Wife”.
The call ended with Hyungdon saying, “Let’s have some soju when you balance your accounts.”
