YoonA discusses Suzy’s acting + how she feels about negative comments

Girls’ Generation member YoonA revealed her desire to take on a role in a major film.
YoonA recently attended the press conference for KBS 2TV‘s ‘Love Rain‘ held in Seoul April 27th. “I always watch the projects that feature my peers,” she said. “I heard a lot of good things about Suzy‘s acting in ‘Introduction to Architecture‘, so I saw it. The backdrop is pretty similar to ‘Love Rain’. Suzy was so perfect for her role, she fit like a glove.”
When asked “Did you receive a casting offer for ‘Introduction to Architecture’?”, she responded, “I didn’t even know about the movie until they finished filming it,” and cutely pouted for the camera.
I don’t have any experience filming a movie,” she continued. “If ever given the opportunity, I would like to play a character as pretty and innocent as Suzy’s.”
I want to try to play a “bad” character too, but I think people watching me will feel awkward,” she said with a laugh.
YoonA’s drama ‘Love Rain’ drew major interest ahead of it’s pilot episode, as it is a project by PD Yoon Suk Ho who in the past worked on hits such as ‘Autumn Story‘ and ‘Winter Sonata‘.
However, the ratings are lower than expected, drawing in an average of 5% viewer ratings despite being 10 episodes in.
My first drama ‘You’re My Fate‘ drew in about 40% of viewer ratings,” YoonA said. “Back then, I didn’t know those ratings were high, but I realized they were pretty impressive when I filmed ‘Cinderella Man‘.
Back then when I saw negative comments, I used to laugh it off, but these days I find them very hurtful,” she added. “I think now is a time for me to develop and become stronger.”

YoonA comments on Girls’ Generation’s hectic schedule and physical health

Singer and actress YoonA of Girls’ Generation discussed the hectic schedule and outstanding physical health of the group’s members.
During an interview on April 27th for KBS 2TV‘s drama ‘Love Rain‘, YoonA commented, “It’s a killer schedule… I think that it’s a little different from the other actors. Though other actors can usually rest after filming for the drama, there’s either an endorsement shoot to go to or etc., Even when there’s no drama filming for the day, I can’t rest because I need to either practice with the other Girls’ Generation members or fulfill another thing in my schedule. I think that’s why I hear [that it must be tough].”
She went on, “Truthfully, I do get tired sometimes. But the bright side is that since there are 9 members, we can split up work. Sometimes a few of us shoot for an endorsement deal first or we share activities… Though everyone’s busy, no one has fainted yet (Laughs).”
YoonA then revealed that the girls sometimes joke around about ways to get out of their hectic lifestyle, stating, “Among the members, we’ll joke, ‘Someone please faint or something. We need to rest.’ I think everyone’s very physically strong and healthy. We all exercise a lot as well.”
