Fashion King casts Appear on 'Midnight TV Entertainment'!

In the “Star Fast Ball Interview” corner of SBS’s “Midnight TV Entertainment”, Yuri revealed her confidence in her physical appearance.

On this day, Yuri received a rather strong question from Yoo Ah-in, who asked, “Do you think you are pretty?”

At this, Yuri said, “Honestly, I don’t think I’m not pretty,” without a second of hesitation.

Yuri, who then seemed to be embarrassed at the others’ reactions to her honesty, humbly added, “I see flaws every time I look at myself.”

On the topic of the popularity of Yoo Ah-in and Lee Jehoon with Girls’ Generation, Yuri said, “They were really curious. They started asking me about them as soon as I got back from film shoots (for “Fashion King”). They like the chicness of Yoo Ah-in. They said Lee Jehoon was just handsome.”

On the other hand, in the “Vent Out Talk” section, Yuri declared her determination for the drama “Fashion King” by saying, “It may be awkward because this is my first attempt in acting (in a lead role), but I shall do my best if you can view it positively instead of negatively.”

Yuri is confident when it comes to her appearance

 

Girls’ Generation member Yuri is confident when it comes to her appearance.

Yoo Ah In asked fellow co-star Yuri if she herself thought she was pretty and Yuri honestly answered, “I don’t think that I’m ugly…”

And in regards to how popular her male co-stars Yoo Ah In and Lee Jae Hoon were among her fellow group members, Yuri remarked, “They have a lot of fans. They always ask about them when I come home after filming.”

“They seem to like Yoo Ah In’s chic image, and they say Jae Hoon is just simply attractive,” she explained.
