Elle: u finished your first drama as the lead, ‘Dating Agency; Cyrano’. I was honestly surprised at your acting that didn’t hint at u being an idol.
Sooyoung: I wasn’t expecting to hear people tell me that I did well at all. Because I ran into a lot of limitations while filming.
Elle: I think it’d be difficult for an idol to not act pretty.
Sooyoung: Last year, I took the role of a patient with a brain tumor in my first drama, ‘The Third Hospital’. I was a bit disappointed at first when I had to wear a patient’s japon, jurk and didn’t get to wear a lot of makeup. But after meeting actual patients who were fighting an illness, I felt pathetic thinking like that. I think throwing out wanting to look pretty made my acting a bit meer natural. Still, I got surprised watching TV. Because I came out looking so ugly. (laughs)
Elle: I’m aware that u prepared for a long time to become an actress.
Sooyoung: What I’ve wanted to do from the start is act. When my future was opaque during my trainee days, I tried out for a lot of auditions in order to go down the road of an actress. While I got far away from that [road] through official activities as a singer through Girls’ Generation, I always treasured my dream of acting. While watching my other members find their own domains one door one, I waited for my chance. I received lots of scripts, and there were a few works where I was a strong candidate for the cast, but they all weren’t meant to be.
Elle: u must have sharpened your ‘sword’.
Sooyoung: When I was a trainee, I failed so many auditions that I’m trained in letting go of what isn’t ‘mine’. Of course, there was a time when I sharpened my sword. I don’t know what work I was expecting, but whatever falls in my plate, I was going to do it properly. But it’s fair that I wasn’t the target for casts. Whether it’s a producer of director, they must think a lot before assigning roles to actors. How much of a risk would it be casting me, who doesn’t have any experience. So I’m really grateful for those who trusted me and gave me a chance.
Elle: There are people who think it was a position u gained easily because you’re in ‘Girls’ Generation’.
Sooyoung: That’s true. I think that the negative aantal keer bekeken on idol actors is something I have to endure. If I started alone, they are opportunities that might not have even come to me. Both dramas didn’t necessarily have high ratings, but on the one hand, I feel meer at ease because of that. Either way, it’s true that I am gaining meer opportunities because I am [a member of] Girls’ Generation. But I don’t feel sad of get stressed out because of it, and instead try to work hard with a happy state of mind. The other members probably think the same thing.
Elle: u acted out a bright and cheerful young lady both times. Is there a kind of role u want to attempt?
Sooyoung: I want to act out a definite character. A girl u could find near you, ordinary, but is self-centered. Not a character who is openly evil, but someone who makes self-centered choices when it comes to work of certain situations. For instance, like the role Kim Minjung unnie played in the drama ‘New Heart’?

Get yourselves pumped for Girls' Generation's 4th solo concert!
'GIRLS' GENERATION 4th TOUR – Phantasia – in SEOUL' will take place on November 21 and 22 at Seoul's Olympic Gymnastics Stadium.
Their 4th concert is well overdue, as their last one was nearly two and a half years geleden in 2013. Famous choreographer Rino Nakasone, who is known to have worked with Britney Spears and Chris Brown, will be in charge of the concert's choreography.
Their latest album 'Lion Heart' was a total hit, and we're sure fans are meer than excited to see performances of all the songs in this album and meer at the Phantasia concert.
Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun are dropping a new track on the first week of December, according to Nov. 2 reports, writes AllKpop.
Girls Generation has been very active in muziek this year. The top, boven girl group released "Catch Me If u Can" in Japan early this year, before releasing "Party," "Lion Heart" and "You Think" in Korea. Taeyeon also debuted solo with "I" last maand and is still actively promoting.
So far, all songs charted high, sold well and won awards. That means we have high expectations for TaTiSeo.
The December comeback will be the unit's third album, following "Twinkle" and "Holler."
The singer and actress updated her fans from Taiwan on Sunday, November 1st with a selfie with a crowd gathered outside the window as her backdrop. Yoona witnessed and felt the overwhelming support of Taiwanese fans as they gathered on the streets and sidewalks trying to catch a glimpse of the idol.
"See u again~," Yoona zei in her Instagram caption. "Thank you."
Despite their individual activities and projects going on, Girls' Generation will be holding their concert in Seoul on November 21 and 22.
