Sulli says "Real" explict sex scenes were necessary

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

K-pop girl group member-turned-actress Sulli felt that the explicit sex scenes in the upcoming film “Real” were necessary to the story, she told reporters Monday.

"I don’t think it was easy. It was a huge challenge for me, acting-wise and in other areas. It was hard and I had a lot of concerns but it was fun," said Sulli in a rare press interview at the press screening of “Real,” held at CGV Wangsimni.

The 23-year-old former f(x) member makes her big screen debut alongside actor Kim Soo-hyun in the film, and engages in several nude sex scenes with the actor. "I think I have a lot of ambition when it comes to acting. It grew when I was shooting this film. I felt something like a sense of achievement while acting. I don't know that I’ve ever wanted to achieve something like this before. That is how eager I am about acting.

On questions about her edgy social media posts, Sulli replied: "That is a personal matter. I don't think I should talk about it right now."

If Kim Soohyun was who I'd be in the explicit sex scene with, then yes, of course it's necessary to the story. It could be a plot about rowing a boat across the lake and it'd still be necessary.

lmaooo i agree so much though

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

what do they consider explicit exactly? anyway i totally want to see this movie.

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

Shut up already.

[otraera.livejournal.com]

Idk if the reviews on twitter were legit but my favorite one was the one comparing this movie to animal shit.

[jillyjellly.livejournal.com]

i think sulli is so so so incredibly beautiful, but that recent eel post on instagram was nagl. girl is dumb

[donutism.livejournal.com]

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

I'm dying at the absolute dragging this film is getting online. Hopefully KSH comes back with a drama asap to make up for it.

[otraera.livejournal.com]

I heard he was looking for another drama/movie before enlistment.

[punkylana.livejournal.com]

lol whatever, I love her

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

i remember how back in the day Lee Joon said exactly the same about his sex/rape scenes .... i guess really depends on movie plot

but since she got a minor role, talking so much about her few scenes feels like a cheap marketing

journalist asking about her sns lol of course

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

lol the hate is so unnecessary, she has never been the brightest so i'm really not surprised, I still love her
I REALLY want to see this movie

[lovebeat-down.livejournal.com]

How explicit are the sex scenes?

[callherblondie.livejournal.com]

IA with above comment that sex scenes 99% of the time don't add anything at all to the plot. I think that's something pervy directors tell young actresses in order to get them to take their clothes off on film and/or to add titillation to draw more viewers (esp. male viewers since most of the nudity in film and tv is all about the male gaze). Call me cynical.

[meyouthisthat.livejournal.com]

I agree with this so much. There's never been a film where I've thought the sex scenes to be "necessary" or to have "added something to the plot". It's all just excuses to titillate/draw in more male viewers. I just find it super annoying how everything still panders to men/ the male gaze etc in this society. Recent ones I've watched - Danish Girl (good plot, 0 necessity for the nude/sexual scenes), Personal Shopper, Girl on the train (super unnecessary sexual scenes which added nothing to the plot).

What is it that people still love about her? I'd think mocking dying animals would be some sort of breaking point l o l

[annhh.livejournal.com]

in korea (/japan) they dont really think sea animals as animals like we think. It's more like just living food. but it was globally a wtf moment from her.

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

that is bullshit explicit sex scenes in movies are disposable. lol

I don't get the blind staning she gets in omona, it baffles me.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

Majority to all of the comments in here don't reflect loving Sulli, though...? Or do you mean in general?

I'm guessing something happened that wasn't posted here.

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

I find sex scenes not needed like always lol
That being said I wouldn't mind seeing ksh nude 👀
Sex scenes in Korean films are so?? Upfront? With the sounds and visuals they have 0 chill

[bob-dabuilda.livejournal.com]

I speculate that Korean sex scenes in films/dramas are so hardcore because 1) pornography is illegal and 2) that repression has to leak out somewhere. So you get things like "The Handmaiden" and "Frozen Flower" which is "art".

Not complaining tho.

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

Why do people still stan her?
She's a real weirdo for that eel video...

[misspoirot.livejournal.com]

"edgy" social media posts, hmm okay

[paige-nevaeh.livejournal.com]

Dare I ask about this eel video?

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

I googled it and apparently she uploaded a video to instagram last week of a dying eel? (She was at a grill restaurant)

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

so edgy. i just think it's funny that every time she talks sung dong il looks like he's praying she won't say anything dumb.

[leavesabound.livejournal.com]

Off topic-ish. I accidentally opened this post in an incognito tab and it made me feel creepy.

Sex scenes are majority of the time kinda unnecessary, but that does not mean they can not and do not add something to the movie/show.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

I also feel guilty if I accidentally open an incognito tab

[jaequeeragenda.livejournal.com]

sex scenes are gross lmao and all the sex scenes in korean movies were hella intense so pass LOL

[meyouthisthat.livejournal.com]

I feel that way about sex scenes as well, like why do i need to see two people naked and have unsimulated sex? if i wanted to see the real thing, i'd watch porn? lol. but if u say anything like that ppl usually think you are weird/prude -.- Lol i always read the synopsis of any korean movie before i watch it; their sex scenes always seem so intense it's so jarring. Esp when compared with how innocently their dramas are protrayed.

[kashiyaek.livejournal.com]

i stanned sulli since her debut, throughout her hiatus and her departure and everything else, but what put me off was her childish response to people criticizing her for still working with rotta AND the whole eel fiasco. idk, i just feel disappointed?

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

lol well the reviews for this movie are brutal and her acting has been criticized too. perhaps she should just stick to being edgy on instagram!

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

pretty dress, here for the implied nude Kim SooHyun

This animal abuser.
