‘Elle’ Magazine Features Sooyoung in Online Article About Celebrities and Their Pets

Editor’s note: “Elle” magazine recently published an online feature on “stars’ pets that raise their happiness index”. As an introduction, the article says, “There are stars who experience their lives changing and feel happiness through being together with animal companions.” Among the featured celebrities was Sooyoung and her three puppies: Suri, Cherri, and Mori. Below is what Sooyoung told “Elle” about her four-legged companions.

“Suri, Cherri, Mori” Trio

These days, every day is really joyful. Maltese Suri, Yorkshire terriers Cherri and Mori: living with those three dogs together has changed a lot of things in my life. I learned to love, got to know the meaning of looking after someone, and received a sense of responsibility as a gift. When I make the three kids (Editor’s note: “kids” refers to the puppies) take a bath after a stroll, I feel like I have become a mother. Even though I am out of my mind when they’re running away or joking around, whenever I take out the blow dryer to dry their fur, I feel proud when I see them becoming dry and fluffy. Even though the reason I met them was to soothe the sadness and emptiness after the loss of my dog, Jjangi, that I raised before, they are now undeniably my friends and babies.

‘Elle’ Magazine Interviews Sooyoung on Her Acting, Role in Girls’ Generation, and Hopes for the Future

Elle: You finished your first drama as the lead, ‘Dating Agency; Cyrano’. I was honestly surprised at your acting that didn’t hint at you 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: From the way she talked, to her gestures, ‘Gong Minyoung’ was really lovable.

Sooyoung: That’s a relief. The way I look or my personality aren’t on the ‘lovely’ side, so I thought it would be awkward to force a lovable appearance. When I see actresses who are good in romantic comedies, like senior Gong Hyojin, they don’t try to look pretty. I tried to let myself go comfortably.

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 gown 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 more natural. Still, I got surprised watching TV. Because I came out looking so ugly. (laughs)

Elle: I’m aware that you 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 by 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: You 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 or 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 you gained easily because you’re in ‘Girls’ Generation’.
Sooyoung: That’s true. I think that the negative views 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 more at ease because of that. Either way, it’s true that I am gaining more opportunities because I am [a member of] Girls’ Generation. But I don’t feel sad or 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: You acted out a bright and cheerful young lady both times. Is there a kind of role you want to attempt?
Sooyoung: I want to act out a definite character. A girl you 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 or certain situations. For instance, like the role Kim Minjung unnie played in the drama ‘New Heart’?

Elle: You’re named one of the most stylish idols in everyday life. You’re the icon of airport fashion as well.
Sooyoung: It’s become such a burden that I tried dressing roughly once on purpose. But when it didn’t become a hot topic, I was disappointed. (laughs) It shows when I get sponsored clothes. I choose and dress myself, but I open my closet door and worry for an hour. Other than the rule ‘don’t overdo it’, I don’t have any special things I adhere to with fashion. I just try to look for a chicness that others haven’t thought of. Not clothes that look pretty upon first glance, but I’d like to dress differently and give off a ‘cool’ feel. But I don’t have enough confidence to take risks yet. What if I was to match Stella McCartney’s oversized jacket, slingback shoes, with a clutch bag that I wore during the photoshoot? While it may fit on the streets of Paris during fashion week, I’m not sure for airport fashion.

Elle: It turns out you have the highest seniority in Girls’ Generation. You debuted first in 2001 in a Korean-Japanese duo group in Japan.
Sooyoung: Yes, it’s been over 10 years since I joined SM. At an age where I didn’t know anything, I started with one ‘talent’ that I felt I had. I went to and from Japan, riding a plane by myself at age 12. While watching BoA unnie get number 1 on the Oricon charts, I thought to myself, ‘I’ll probably become number 1 if I go to Japan too’, but I couldn’t do that in reality. While riding the subway, handling schedules, I went to do all sorts of auditions. At the time, I had a hard time not being able to attend school well and because it felt like I wasn’t receiving as much training as the other trainees in Seoul. But thanks to it all, I’ve gained the valuable asset of ‘Japanese (language)’, as well as a completely different point of view of the entertainment world. If I had started as Girls’ Generation, I think I would be a lot more different from the me today.

Elle: When you visited Japan again as a Girls’ Generation member, you must have been filled with emotions.
Sooyoung: Yes, I honestly almost cried. When we got off at the airport, there were a lot of fans waiting. I was deeply touched thinking, ‘What I couldn’t achieve alone, I now can because I’m together with my members.’ At the time, I had fallen into a slump. My position in the group was unclear, and I was becoming an observer by myself. Even if work came in, I got into the habit of thinking, ‘That’s probably not for me.’ But while advancing into Japan, I felt the preciousness of my members, I was finally able to help the team. Before then, whether it was my singing or dancing, there wasn’t anything that I could do to help my team receive attention. It was only to the point of making my face known with impersonations on variety shows. I was happy being able to give my team help by at least being good at speaking Japanese. I was thinking I was moving backwards, but turning around, I was going in the right direction.

Elle: You learned that efforts aren’t in vain. Along with the wisdom of waiting for an opportunity.
Sooyoung: If you were to draw Girls’ Generation’s past as a graph, there were good stimuli at proper times. We’re a team with very good luck. While we were gaining popularity with a a hit song in Korea, our Japan activities started. We got a breath of fresh air working in the Japanese entertainment world, which has a system completely different from Korea. After that, we went to the United States and started individual activities. If it all came at us in one push, there wouldn’t have been the feeling of taking steps.

Elle: There were differing opinions regarding the new music style in Girls’ Generation’s ‘I Got A Boy’ album, which was released early this year. What are your thoughts?
Sooyoung: When I heard the song for the first time, I thought it would be a success. I thought we’d be told it would be ‘as expected, it’s Girls’ Generation’. (laughs) But while all 9 of us were getting in tune, it was really difficult for us to sing the parts separately. If one person sang, we would have controlled the changes in pitch like starting strong, loosening up midway, and going back to the climax. My members couldn’t help but give off the same energy in their own parts. I was a bit disappointed that balance didn’t come out clearly.

Elle: Your worries must get bigger whenever you release an album.
Sooyoung: I know that wearing the same outfit and doing a group dance is what suits us the most, and that it’s what we do the best. Still, we can’t do the same thing forever. First of all, what Girls’ Generation aims for is doing music that suits our age. As time goes by, we’re going to continue to make new attempts by sharing the members’ ideas.

Elle: I heard you’re quite a stay-at-home person.
Sooyoung: I don’t really like going around late at night. Also, my mom really hates life without ‘order’. She always told me, ‘No matter how much money you make or how famous you get outside, you’re only ‘my daughter’ at home.’ So things clashed a lot at the start of my life in the entertainment world. I want to act like a baby and comfortably unwind at home. But now I think I understand what my mom meant. She was concerned that if there isn’t order in your home, it would be apparent when you go out.

Elle: You confessed on television that your father is suffering from a vision disorder.
Sooyoung: That wasn’t my original intention, but the focus seemed to be on ‘Sooyoung’s father’s illness’, so I’m disappointed. It wasn’t about who my father is and what I’ve learned through him. But I knew that would happen based on the characteristics of television. That illness (pigmentary degeneration of the retina) itself progresses so gradually that you live without being well aware of it. Furthermore, my father never shows a defensive side. I learn a lot seeing my father study about his own illness, giving lectures, and helping other patients.

Elle: What do you regard as being the most important guideline living as a celebrity?
Sooyoung: Objectively, looking at yourself. Honestly, even when I’m not at that level, if people around me keep complimenting me, I’ll misunderstand that I’ve become something. This is something all the members agree with. Not to become a big frog in a little pond. I especially think it would be important knowing what people my age do. When we’re together, we think the world we’re in is everything, but it’s different if you step out just a little. There are people who take a bus to work every day at the break of day. There are some people who study hard, earn a scholarship, and go to college. I try not to forget those scenes of life.

Elle: Is there something you want to perfect on your own?
Sooyoung: I’m jealous of people who have their own, unique world. Also, not something that’s dramatized or imitated, but real for people. I don’t like people being uncomfortable because of me, so there are a lot of times where I say I’m okay, when I’m actually not. But things being good all around never really is good. If you look at Lee Hyori unnie, if your own world is definite, and you think that you are right, you don’t have to compromise. I want to bring up that kind of ability.

Elle: What is your future, not as a girl, but a woman?
Sooyoung: If you’re a woman, you’d dream of having a happy family. I’m the same. Imagining the families of my 8 members being next to me in the distant future was really touching. If I would be able to see my Girls’ Generation friends getting married and having kids by their sides, I think that alone would be a miracle.

Elle: 24 years old. Isn’t this the moment when you’re prettiest in life?
Sooyoung: When I was 20, people said ‘you’re prettiest when you’re 20. Then others said that the 30′s are the start for a woman. (laughs) Once time goes by, I think I will feel sad. Not living to my heart’s content and living in self-restraint and self-control. However, I will have to make it so that eventually, I will think it was a good decision.

Lee Chunhee Praises Sooyoung in Interview

Sooyoung has been getting rave reviews from fans and critics alike for her role as the quirky and cute Gong Minyoung in “Dating Agency; Cyrano”, which recently ended. And it’s not only fans who are falling for Sooyoung. In an interview with Osen, Sooyoung’s costar in the drama, Lee Chunhee, talked about working with her on the set, as well as his thoughts on her abilities as an actress.

“While filming, I only thought of her as a fellow actress. Once, Yuri and Hyoyeon came while we were filming. It was to the point where, for a moment, I went, ‘Why are they here?’, and thought about it for a long time. Then, I recalled, ‘Oh, yeah! Sooyoung’s in Girls’ Generation!’ I don’t know if it’s because she’s good at acting or because she’s so laid-back, but there almost isn’t any hint that she is an idol girl group member.”

Along with that, as a senior and actor, he gave Sooyoung’s talent a high rating.
“She definitely has talent. And not just as something she wants to try, but I felt enough of her desire of really wanting to do this. Honestly, with Sooyoung’s character of Minyoung being at the center of the story, if she were to falter, it would cause problems with the entire thing. Still, I honestly was worried a bit early on, but after filming 1~2 episodes, those worries completely went away.”

Sooyoung has been showing that she is a serious force as an actress since “The 3rd Hospital” and now “Dating Agency; Cyrano”. The future looks bright for actress Choi Sooyoung.

Sooyoung Expresses Her Feelings For The Ending of "Dating Agency: Cryano"

On July 16, the last episode of tvN drama "Dating Agency:Cyrano" was aired. Sooyoung posted a message on Girls’ Generation official website.

Sooyoung said on the message,

As of today, it’s goodbye for ‘Gong Stone’ Minyoung ㅠㅅㅠ
While it is sad, for a not-so-long time
I feel that I’ve received you all’s overflowing love..
So I was a very very happy Minyoung ^ㅡ^

The atmosphere on set was very pleasant, and friendly seniors and colleagues..
As well as staff; thanks to them, it was always happy~ㅎㅎ
While only looking at the script, I couldn’t imagine the appearance of the client and target well.
But the cameo actors who made Cyrano real with living, moving characters..
They made each episode shine brightly^^
Thanks to that, whenever a new senior actor would come for each episode, Minyoung
learned and felt a lot from the sidelines. ㅎㅎ It felt like I’d listened to a long lectureㅎㅎ
The support fans sent
With filming through the night.. You were always a strength for me, so I was able to complete things well until the end. Thank you♥

Now, for my meeting with a new character some day!!
I’m going to bury Minyoung with Euijin deep in my heart~ㅎㅎ
I’m going to push back the sad feeling and am going to have my heart flutter until my heart’s content for the soon-to-happen Taiwan concert!! I can do that, right? ^0^
The love.support you sent me, I’ll become a Sooyoung who repays you with more^^~♥ ㅎㅎ

Sooyoung’s message on the last day of filming of “Dating Agency:Cyrano’ received a lot of support from the fans. Yuri and Hyoyeon also sent a message showing their support for Sooyoung.

Sooyoung received some comments from netizens like ‘Sooyoung’s last day of filming was very heart-warming’, ‘So sad Dating Agency Cyrano ends’, ‘Sooyoung’s last day on filming has a good atmosphere on the scene’

Sooyoung, Lee Jonghyuk, and Lee Chunhee Interviewed for ‘Dating Agency; Cyrano’

On June 26th, the stars of “Dating Agency; Cyrano”, Choi Sooyoung (who plays Gong Minyoung), Lee Jonghyuk (who plays Seo Byunghoon), and Lee Chunhee (who plays Cha Seungpyo or “Master”), sat down for an interview with reporter Jung Sukhee.

Jung Sukhee: I think Choi Sooyoung would fall for you if you tried? (laughs)
Lee Jonghyuk: Sooyoung’s already fallen for me.
Choi Sooyoung: I think that Lee Jonghyuk thinks this way is his charm.
Lee Chunhee: When it comes to girls, it was the same in the past and now, but I’m not confident.
Choi Sooyoung: That’s true. The two are completely different styles.

Jung Sukhee: I like the set. The outfits suit the characters well too.
Lee Jonghyuk: Because the set is unique, it helps me exercise my imagination a lot. We prepare our outfits ourselves, and they all prepared things to suit their characters well.
Choi Sooyoung: I think the actors study their own characters a lot. Because they wear outfits that suit their individual color, things don’t overlap either.
Jung Sukhee: Sooyoung, you were really pretty even when you fell into the water.
Choi Sooyoung: I thought a lot about it. (laughs) I also considered if it would be better to wear something where the material shows through a bit. It’s a relief that it came out well.
Jung Sukhee: In the ninth episode, Minyoung’s expression when she told Seungpyo, ‘Everyone has a past they don’t want to talk about,’ was really nice.
Lee Jonghyuk: Right? (looking at Sooyoung) I told you, you looked pretty then.
Choi Sooyoung: When I have a scene with Lee Chunhee, I look pretty. (laughs) On the other hand, I make weird faces when I’m with Lee Jonghyuk. It must be how I cope with Seo Byunghoon’s bad temper.
Lee Jonghyuk: Her acting really improved a lot.

Jung Sukhee: Is there a difference between Lee Jonghyuk on set for the drama and how he is on ‘Dad! Where Are You Going?’?
Choi Sooyoung: He’s the same. I watch it often, and he seems to know funny points.

Jung Sukhee: Because there are a lot of good-looking guys with personality, it’s especially a nice working environment for Sooyoung.
Choi Sooyoung: Right? Not only are the actors cool, but so are the staff members. People around me are really jealous.

Jung Sukhee: Last time, Gong Yoo also came on. However, there wasn’t a scene where you met him, was there?
Choi Sooyoung: I know! Approaching the target has always been Gong Minyoung’s role; she just had to fall in the water that day. As a matter of fact, looking at the schedule, Gong Yoo filmed early in the morning and was leaving. I couldn’t see him at all.
Jung Sukhee: But, if you think about it, this isn’t even a good thing. You’re beginning a love triangle, but both are married with a child (translator’s note: in real life). (laughs)
Choi Sooyoung: I’m actually able to act more comfortably. I’m still really weak when it comes to mellow [acting]. If it weren’t for these two, it would have been a lot more awkward.
Jung Sukhee: If you were Gong Minyoung, who would you choose?
Choi Sooyoung: Master.
Lee Chunhee: (claps)
Choi Sooyoung: I liked the fact that a person with a dark past would change through me. I’m normally obtrusive. But Gong Minyoung is the type who creates a mess and sees how it pans out. But I’m always walking on eggshells, am gullible, and my views aren’t clear.
Jung Sukhee: You’ve had experience with acting through tvN’s ‘The Third Hospital’, but it’s your first time playing a role with some weight, right? I think you’re doing well, starting without any fanfare. And you’re MCing well.
Lee Jonghyuk: She’s good. She has a natural-born talent. She’s an idol, so I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried. But she has really good senses. It’s also nice acting with [a] Girls’ Generation [member]. (laughs)
Choi Sooyoung: It’s a relief there wasn’t any fanfare. (laughs) I never set a goal and thought about gaining it. It is a worry, but I want to do things slow. Rather than gaining attention, I want to have good experiences and create good connections. If I think about wanting to show something through this role, it all shows through my acting. Then I’d feel sorry towards Gong Minyoung.
Jung Sukhee: There isn’t a lot of time left until the end of the drama. I’m curious as to whether seasons are possible [for the drama]. If it continues onto a second season, would you all do it together?
Choi Sooyoung: It would help a lot with studying. I would get to act with different senior actors in each episode.

Epilogue: The day of the interview was June 26th, but Lee Jonghyuk mistakenly wrote “June 28th” when signing his autograph. When Choi Sooyoung saw that, she suddenly shrieked and asked, “Today’s the 28th?” It turns out June 28th is Girls’ Generation’s youngest member’s, Seohyun’s, birthday. Lee Jonghyuk asked, “What does Seohyun like? I should buy her a present.” Sooyoung responded, “Really? Then can you take care of my birthday early too?” It was a really nice scene, watching the two squabble and joke around while Lee Chunhee watched with a warm smile.

‘InStyle’ Interviews Sooyoung and Other ‘Dating Agency; Cyrano’ Cast Members

Traditionally, it’s said to not interfere with others’ romances. However, the five people gathered here intentionally get involved in other people’s love [lives]. They act for people who are poor at confessions, and they whisper the needed lines (translator’s note: i.e. scripts) into their ears.

This is about the leading roles in the drama, “Dating Agency; Cryano”, played by Lee Jonghyuk, Lee Chunhee, Choi Sooyoung, Hong Jonghyun, and Jo Yoonwoo. Like people who have gathered to conspire, the five people are standing on a set decorated to seem like a secretive investigator’s office.

Lee Chunhee said something first:

“My role is a bit different from the other four, because I’m not affiliated with the Cyrano Agency.”

Lee Chunhee actually plays the role of “Cha Seungpyo”, who owns a small restaurant. He’s a mysterious character whose true nature interlaced with them is slowly being revealed.

“I’m a kind ‘daddy long legs’ right now, but I’m slowly going to reveal my real intentions. This means that conflicts will soon begin.” (laughs)

 

Hong Jonghyun, who usually has chic facial expressions, and bright Jo Yoonwoo, who shows curiosity in everything, were the same as their (respective) roles in the drama, “Moojin” and “Ahrang”.

“Jonghyun senior is usually the opposite of chicness. (laughs) However, he’s a deep hyung (translator’s note: what a guy calls another guy who is older than him) and you can feel his affection, even in his heartless comments.”

Of these, the only female, Choi Sooyoung, was chosen by all of the members as the mood maker in the Cyrano team. She is laid-back and fun on set to the point where her existence alone brightens up the atmosphere when filming.

“I’m the mood maker? I think it’s Jonghyuk senior. (laughs) Even though I’m the only girl, I don’t feel uncomfortable. But that doesn’t mean I get special treatment. They all have good manners, so everyone is so considerate that I don’t feel like I’m special. I don’t know if it’s because young and passionate people are gathered together, but I think the mood on set is unusually good.”

Also, the genius director, “Seo Byunghoon”, is played by Lee Jonghyuk. He, the leader of the Cyrano Agency, adds to the weight of the drama with his tough and manly appearance.
“He’s cold, but is also like a dork. He’s a character who has the faint memories about his first love.”

While making a chic pose quite different from his appearance as “Junsu’s Dad”, he amused the actors and staff on set with a few words, which were unclear as to whether he was joking or not. Instead of his hardened charisma, his sincere chatting seemed to be the foundation for their teamwork.

“At first, I wondered how I would pull this role off. However, now it feels like we all melted into our roles, and are actually meeting the characters.”

Even when you hear just the youngest, “Ahrang”‘s, replies, you can assume how united the five unique actors are.

Like a Fish in Water: Sooyoung Receives Praise for Her Acting in ‘Dating Agency; Cyrano’

Like a fish in water.

Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung is like one in tvN’s Monday/Tuesday drama, “Dating Agency; Cyrano”. After ambitiously trying her hand at acting last year in the tvN drama, “The Third Hospital”, Sooyoung showed minuscule presence amongst prominent actors. She also acted as a patient in a coma, not really giving viewers a chance to evaluate her acting. However, Sooyoung took on a title role with Lee Jonghyuk, and accepted the opportunity to properly prove her acting.

While she did take over the position of a lead role, the burden that came with it was probably immense because her opposing lead role is Lee Jonghyuk, who has a reputation as a good actor. Along with having to win over past displays of the Gong Minyoung character in a film, Sooyoung probably had to swallow comparisons between actress Park Shinhye and herself. However, the results exceeded expectations. Sooyoung melted into a cheerful and animated character without much difficulty, completely different from the character in the film.

There weren’t excessive emotions or overdone expressions that commonly appear in acting newcomers, and there are mainly positive assessments about her, such as having stable dictation. Along with her actions of falling backwards in the first episode, her acting like a tipsy drunkard wasn’t awkward. Sooyoung, who received assessments for her reserved acting in
“The Third Hospital”, has now stretched as much as she wanted through “Dating Agency; Cyrano” and is receiving positive evaluations along with showing her potential as an actress.

The Gong Minyoung in the drama is more empowered than in the movie. The romance between her and Seo Byunghoon (played by Lee Jonghyuk), which didn’t stand out in the film, is a major plot in the drama, and Gong Minyoung is responsible for the aggravation of conflict early on. This conflict came about in the episode that aired on May 28th. At the end of this episode, unlike the Gong Minyoung who felt veracity and doubt in manipulated love, she is shown acting in ways unlike the official operations of the Cyrano Agency.

To this, Seo Byunghoon declared to Gong Minyoung, “You’re out of Cyrano Agency,” leading her into a state of crisis. The drama “Dating Agency; Cyrano” is in episode form, spotlighting the process of clients who come to Cyrano Agency, attaining love. Aside from that, a main point will also be romanticist Gong Minyoung, who dreams of honest love, decreasing the gap between herself and Cyrano Agency’s creation of love through manipulation.

With this, Sooyoung’s tasks will become even more tremendous.

With the cute and cheerful image Sooyoung built through Girls’ Generation, she expresses how lovable Gong Minyoung is in “Dating Agency; Cyrano” well and is livening up the charms of a romantic comedy with the bubbly nature of a young lady in her 20′s. However, the future is what’s important. The romance with Lee Jonghyuk, overcoming a 16 year age difference in real life, and the detailed change in emotion through it, amongst other things, are all a pile of tasks that Sooyoung must overcome. To see if Sooyoung will be able to show her strength to pull the drama forward until the end after having a positive start, it is necessary to give attention to “Dating Agency; Cyrano”.
