On SBS TV’s “Strong Heart – Royal Family Special” aired on November 30th, Sooyoung talked about how her experience in an audition for a drama. After listening to CN Blue member, Kang Minhyuk’s story on how he lost a role in a drama to fellow member, Jung Yonghwa in an audition, Sooyoung said, “Before debut, I’ve attended a lot of acting auditions too”.

Sooyoung said, “The most unforgettable audition I had was for the movie ‘Babo (Miracle Of A Giving Fool)‘. I wanted a role in the movie so badly but in the end Park Hasun was given the role”.

In the movie, Park Hasun played a role as a younger sister to the male actor, Cha Taehyun. According to Sooyoung, she participated in the audition for this role.

Sooyoung added, “If I were to be casted for ‘Babo’, my debut with SNSD will be affected. After debuted with SNSD, I heard Park Hasun received a lot of attentions from that movie. I think everyone has their own time for everything. Therefore, Minhyuk will do well this time around”. For Sooyoung, the failure in the audition was a blessing in disguise.

Kang Minhyuk is currently being casted for SBS Monday-Tuesday drama “It’s Okay, Daddy’s Daughter”.

On SBS TV’s ‘Strong Heart – Royal Family Special’ aired on November 30th, actor Choi Jinhyuk confessed that he is a big fan of Yuri.

On the show, Choi Jinhyuk said, “Honestly, I’m a big fan of SNSD‘s Yuri. My computer’s desktop is full of Yuri Players (a fan-made video player of which a set of favorite videos of an artist are compiled and edited) and thus, it is difficult whenever i try to look for something on my desktop”. The participants of the show were surprised after hearing Jinhyuk’s confession.

He added, “To me, Yuri is like a goddess. Besides her beauty, Yuri also seems to be a very sweet woman. I like her ‘Jjanggu (Crayon Shinchan) dance‘ in particular”. Yuri then did her fan service by performing the ‘Jjangu dance’ and fanboy, Choi Jinhyuk could not hide his excitement.

Idols that participated in the November 30th episode of SBS’s variety program, “Strong Heart,” were asked to rank their their roles in their respective groups.

MC Lee Seung Ki began by informing Moon Hee Jun, “Tony An previously made an appearance here and stated that he was the key person of H.O.T.“, to which Moon Hee Jun retorted, “Key? This is why we need to come out together! For five years, I was the most popular person in the group.”

Yet despite his assertion, the studio refused to believe him.

Super Junior’s Donghae added, “In Korea, I think my popularity’s ranked about third or fourth out of our 13 members. But if you take all of Asia into consideration, I think I’m at least first or second.”

SNSD’s Yuri went on, “My popularity went down a bit at our debut, but it’s going up again hot. I think I’m at least ranked first.”

After School’s Lizzy stated, “When I last compared our fancafe numbers, I came in about third. UEE and Kahi are battling it out for first and second.”

SNSD’s Yuri shared her thoughts about the popularity of SNSD’s legs in Japan during her appearance on the November 30th episode of SBS’s “Strong Heart.”

Yuri began by stating, “In Japan, they call us the ‘beautiful legs group’ because they think our legs are beautiful. Honestly though, our legs aren’t that pretty. Only a few of us have nice legs, but they keep the focus point on our legs a lot.”

SNSD’s hit song, “Genie,” was especially popular for its ‘kick’ dance. Their shorts and choreography accentuated and emphasized their long legs, but Yuri explained that the pressure was too much.


“All nine of us do not have pretty legs. Sooyoung, Tiffany, and a few others have very nice long legs but the rest of us are either short or thick. My legs, realistically, have a bit of meat on them as well so there’s a lot of pressure when cameras focus on them“, she confessed.

Yuri then revealed the secrets behind managing their legs, “Our legs get more makeup than our faces in order to hide any scars and bruising.”

On SBS ‘Strong Heart’ aired on November 30th, Yuri talked about the ‘burden’ she has while carrying out SNSD‘s activities in Japan.

According to Yuri, SNSD who wore hot pants (which revealed their beautiful legs) during ‘Genie’ debut in Japan were labeled as ‘Beautiful Legs Group’ ever since. When they were featured on TV shows, there were talks about their legs. Yuri added that the camera would even focus on their legs.

Due to the fact that a lot of interest and attention were directed to their legs during broadcasts, she felt that it was really a burden. Yuri explained that every time they are off to Japan, she would be spending more time and attention on her legs rather than her face. Especially when there are wounds, cuts and bruises on the legs, these visible marks have to be covered up with make-ups.

Yuri then gave everyone a good laugh when she revealed the truth behind ‘Beautiful Legs Group’ by saying, “SNSD members’ legs are generally not beautiful. Only a few are beautiful. There are members with shorts legs and some have thick legs.

STRONG HEART: ROYALTY SPECIAL

Note: These are VERY rough translations. Some I just explain while others are roughly translated and can contain mistakes or lack some information.

Sooyoung’s favorite group is…..?

H.O.T Moon Hee Joon was one of the guests and his opening was him asking celebrities to come out and boldly reveal that they were once his fans. As of now, only Moon Geun Young came out and said she was his fan on TV shows so he wants more to do it. So Kang Ho Dong was asking the other guests if they liked H.O.T and Sooyoung chose Shinhwa instead lol

[Random] Super Lee Teuk Overreacts

Super Junior members were talking about how Lee Teuk likes it when people notice his injuries. Eunhyuk recalls a time when Lee Teuk got a little cut from exercising so he put a bandage over it. After that, they had to go on stage but before going up, Lee Teuk was looking at himself in the mirror. The outfit was long pants but he started to pull up his pants so that bandage would show. Then he limped on stage. Then Lee Teuk said “everybody, I’m okay so don’t worry about me. You trust me, right?!”

SNSD’s Leg

Yuri: In Japan, we became known for having pretty legs. But honestly, it’s not all pretty. There’s only a few with pretty legs. Our first debut song is Tell Me Your Wish. Perhaps because we wore military outfits, hot pants, while doing hacky sack dance their attention kept going to our legs. So whether we went out on variety program or music program, the interview was always focused on our legs. Whatever we did, they would only capture our legs. But the thing is, not all 9 has pretty legs. There’s only certain members with pretty legs.
Seung Gi: For example?
Yuri: Sooyoung, Tiffany
There are sometimes members with short legs short legs sometimes with slightly thick legs and friendly looking legs.
Kang Ho Dong: which category does your legs fit into then?
Yuri: Friendly.
They keep filming our legs so it became burdensome.
There’s a secret behind making our poor legs not look so poor. What that means is, since we have so many choreography that uses our legs and we dance with heels there are many times when we accidentally hit each other during our choreography. Because of that, we have many scars and bruises. And since Japan keeps focusing on our legs we started using leg makeup. When we have live broadcast, instead of our faces we focus more on our legs.

Sooyoung is to thank for SNSD’s sync?

Sooyoung talks about how strict she is with their sync-ness. If its a choreography when they are in a line, she tells a member to space out a little if they’re off. Another example is during INTW when they do the leg kick . If a member kicks higher than they have to, she tells them.

STRONG HEART: SOOYOUNG, POTENTIAL BABOO!

Minhyuk from CN Blue was talking about how he auditioned for the same role as Yonghwa in “You’re Beautiful” but didn’t get casted. He mentions how Yonghwa got huge after his role in “You’re Beautiful” with his CF, MC gigs and even getting married (to our maknae Seohyun ^^) and sometimes thinks that it should be him in his spot. He is now in “Its Okay, Daddy’s Girl” and in hopes he said that this was his time to become a superstar. After that, Sooyoung speaks up and says she was in a similar situation as him.

Sooyoung: Pre-debut, I auditioned for a lot of acting gigs. There was one audition when I came out feeling like I did really well and had high expectations (in getting the part), but she didn’t get the role. Park Ha Sun (one of Strong Heart’s guests) is the one that did get the role for movie “Babo.” But like he said (Min Hyuk), everyone has their designated time and opportunity. If I were to get that role for “Babo”, it’s possible that I wouldn’t have debuted with SNSD. And Park Ha Sun was able to get a good start with that movie. Since everyone has their designated time, I think this time around Minhyuk will do very well (in his new drama).
