Yuri of Girls' Generation Shines in TV Drama 'Fashion King'
All nine members of Girls' Generation have sweated and toiled to give fans what they want since they debuted five years ago, which helps explain the girl group's mammoth popularity, and Yu-ri is seen as one of its hardest-working members.
Yu-ri, who is currently starring in the SBS drama "Fashion King," said she has always harbored ambitions of being not just a singer but an actress.
"Even when I was a trainee some 10 years ago, I always wanted to act," Yu-ri said. "I took acting lessons and read many scenarios," she added.
"I'm so happy to have got this chance to act in a TV drama. I held about 10 meetings with the director before filming started. He did not know much about me and had no idea about my acting ability, so he gave me a lot of advice."
Fellow band member Yoon-a appeared in the 2008 TV drama "You Are My Destiny," while Jessica followed suit recently in "Wild Romance." This makes Yu-ri something of a late starter given her decade-long dream, and the same is true of her popularity within the band among fans, which also emerged later than most of the other members.
Each of the members has been at the center of attention at one time or another, but Yu-ri has built up her reputation gradually through hard work. SM Entertainment is notorious for its intense training program, encouraging the girls to practice from dawn till dusk to get their moves down perfectly, and Yu-ri has seemed to thrive in this environment.
Actors Yoo Ah-in, Lee Je-hoon and Shin Se-kyung, who appear on "Fashion King" with Yu-ri, are among the hottest young stars in Korea right now. They are also recognized for their acting abilities. But rather than being intimidated, Yu-ri asks them for tips and advice, and tries to learn from them.
Yu-ri's fans call her the "black pearl," partly in recognition of her dark complexion, but also because a pearl takes a long time to form within its shell -- just as Yu-ri has kept stretching herself to become a shining "jewel" among the group.
However, such hard work and endurance has now become a matter of routine for her and the other members of Girls' Generation, and this may be what has kept them at the top of their game for so long.
Jessica & Sungmin : "The member whom I don't get along well with is..."
In the episode of tvN’s variety show “TAXI” which broadcasted on the 18th of May, Jessica and Sungmin was asked by MC Lee Yong Ja “Among all the members of your respective group, which member gets along least well with the rest?”
Jessica gave Seohyun as her answer, “The rest of the members enjoy eating snacks, hamburgers and others, but Seohyun only eats the sweet potato and persimmon that she packs herself.” Sungmin then revealed, “In terms of food, our members get along really well with each other. We are not choosy when it comes to food, we have cheap taste and we eat everything that is given to us.”
Sungmin then continued, “Yesung is responsible for the high notes (in our songs), so he would start to warm up his vocals early in the day. He would always do it when we are travelling to our schedules. Because everyone is really tired on most days, we would rest or sleep on our way, but when he starts practicing so loudly, we would sometimes feel really upset.“ Jessica then added, “Seohyun is exactly the same and she has several methods when it comes to practicing her vocals. She would turn on the music of the song that we will be singing on that day and sing along to it, but she is our baby, so it’s cute.”
Besides Jessica and Sungmin, f(x)’s member Luna also appeared on the program.

After becoming the first person in the history of the show to receive a perfect score, MC Kim Yongman couldn’t hide his surprise, commenting, “This has never happened before.” Viewers and fans alike responded, “What can’t she do?” and “She dances and sings well, she’s pretty and she’s even smart.”
Taeyeon Reveals the Secret Behind Her Skinny Appearance!
Taeyeon, who has been active in the sub-unit, garnered attention after revealing the secret behind her body.
During a recent recording of SBS E!TV’s “TV Cultwo Show-Talking About With Stars”, the MCs asked her how she maintains her figure. She surprised everyone by replying, “I eat ramyun late at night and don’t sleep afterward.”
This was not the only secret behind Taeyeon’s slim body. It hasn’t been revealed until now, but her black strap stockings give her the illusion of “chopstick legs”.
She also showed off tall stilettos that made her legs look slimmer and longer. The flashy patterns and colors on her clothes also gave her a taller and skinnier appearance.
Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun were then asked about their rumored 900 calorie diet, which had become a popular online discussion topic. The girls answered coolly, “How could you survive off of a 900 calorie diet?”
