In the drama “Love ”, Yoona went naturally from a 1970′s college student to a gardener in the . She balanced it out between composed and outgoing, easygoing and graceful, and mature and cheerful. Standing a camera in a studio the drama , she shows a variation of (editor Ahn Dongsun, photographed by Kim Sangon).
On the way to interview Yoona, I was flooded with requests for her autograph. I the studio carrying a recorder and autograph papers for the photographer's brother-in-law, who the photoshoot, my assistant, boyfriend has Yoona as his iPhone lockscreen background, and to complete the mission given to me by my on “KakaoTalk”. While they a person's are just superficial, there are when looks are transparent and that person as they are. When you meet a celebrity you've only seen on TV in person, the image seen any medium tells you . I look at Yoona under the high lights. Her forehead, tranquil and the slim, long lines that her body. (I don't know if will be able to find any traces of Photoshop , but did any revisions her longer arms slimmer. interview and photoshoot, months the drama “ Love ' ended”. While emotions rising , such unfamiliar, greedy, , and , a relaxing is encircling Yoona like a cloud. In , 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 viewer ratings high . Of course, it nice the ratings were and caused a social boom. But that it was director Yoon Sukho and writer Oh Sooyeon's drama was something satisfying regardless of the ratings. I feel thankful that it is much attention in Japan. I also think that gentle sensibility suits the Japanese peoples' emotions . People of various ages ask for a handshake when I while ' Rain' is currently airing, that they're the drama . It’s amazing .”
An actor attempting a that they don't think they could accomplish predicts fulfillment, and “Love ” was like that for Yoona. In this drama, which was her acting as , she took on the role of an innocent university student in the 1970′s, Kim Yoonhee, as well as a cheerful gardener in 2012, Jung Hana. As if it wasn't acting out the role who was born before she was, she had to play characters and juggle ' Generation's schedules . She had to a repetitive schedule of Daegu at dawn to film the scenes in the 70′s, and, appear on , she would come back up to Seoul, and back to Daegu .
“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, before debuted, Yoona made her known the drama “9 Ends 2 Outs”. After that, she became the heroine that elders liked: Saebyuk in “You Are My Destiny”. Then, she made at acting, this as a brave designer who about the Dongdaemun market in “” alongside Kwon Sangwoo. And now work . Yoona learned a new method of approach to dramas this.
“In the past, I had a tendency to just at things, but I think I approached this character after a analysis. Before, when it came to emotional scenes, I would listen to songs and recall things that I've encountered. But substituted in the place of Yoonhee and Hana, and acted out the emotions as is. And so it was difficult acting as Yoonhee. I don't know if it's because I did that generation, but it was difficult understand analog emotions, too. I had endless as to what I like if I were Yoonhee. When it Hana, she was a easy- character, so it was a relief that were similarities her and my actual . Anyway, approaching acting like this and it was interesting.”
Now that she's earn a taste for acting, what of character she wants , Yoona answered three seconds. Her reply of wanting to play any role, as it 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 writer Kim Eunsook's works aren't excessive or restrained. While it what you hear in a drama, really seems like . So you gradually agree with and focus on it try to it. Also, I like the script! Because of the lines that into so easily, you can't a .”
It was the moment when Yoona, who appeared mature, “heartily Yoona” (something her fans call her she laughs loudly with her mouth ). Yoona charm is these unexpected . When you just look at her, she appears feminine, coy, and she'd be , but 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 . From 'Kim Kkot Deu Rae' and 'Nahp Deuk Yi' ( the 'Gag Concert' segment “School of Mental Breakdown”), she imitates all the in comedy programs. All the of are funny, but three are Yoona, Sooyoung, and Hyoyeon.”
[Translator's note: the two previous statements were not said by Yoona, but her manager/staff.]
Sure . Once she got to the studio, when the monitor showed that the bandage on her leg was visible the slit in the Gucci ( the photographer the hardest on), she saying, “, that you want to see, Isn't it? Heh heh.” She's a cheerful young lady who pleasantly caricature .
Going back to , 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 , she spent her trainee days improving her details. She spent her training, to reach the goal she had . At that moment, time had stopped for Yoona. Then five years her debut. The moment she on stage, she gains the confidence that what she's trained for manifests . The clock that while she was started . Through all the , I think Yoona was realize her well-trained for acting, and poses it. When I told her that this was what I thought while how she poses in front of the camera or forcing it, Yoona took in the with a deeply engaged .
“I During my trainee days, I devoted learning any worries. While now I did all this not being bloom a flower later on, I realized something I stood on stage and acted. Each minor gesture I and the acting lessons I received are all left somewhere . But, I'm still not yet entirely sure those are, and what I have to do for them to . There are also where it feels like things have disappeared. I hold a belief that, as I and gain more experiences, I will be closer to acting.”
But when I asked what film left an impression on , she said it was the Indian film “3 idiots”, which she had on the plane. Shouldn't she go to the theaters and date so that she with acting?
“When I'm not promoting an album, I a drama. When the drama ends, overseas activities would right after. There have been where , ' want !', but when I do a vacation, I don't know what I should do. There are when I think busy is . For odd reason, after resting , I want more and I lose that drive. I the movies , but I can't just be within eyes. But I a weight you from the start if you want to become a celebrity. And I'm happy that weight is a lot lighter than the 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.
