1. [+755, -79] She's barely 16 years old in Korean age and 14 in American age if her birthday has passed, 15 if it hasn't... I don't understand what her agency was thinking putting her in an outfit like this with a sexy concept or the media for even calling her sexy! If this had been Europe or NA, this 100% would've been illegal...

Rising actress Nana for High Cut; confirms new movie w/ Hyun Bin and Yoo Ji Tae

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

Nana Speaks Out About Her Bisexual Role And Praise For Her Acting

When it was first announced that After School’s Nana was cast in tvN’s “The Good Wife” with top actors Jeon Do Yeon and Yoo Ji Tae, public reaction was not pleasant.

However, this changed completely when the girl group member and now actress proved herself with her natural gaze and expressions on the drama’s premiere, after which she had expressed her gratitude for the positive feedback.

In “The Good Wife,” she takes on the role of Kim Dan, an MJ Law Firm researcher who holds many secrets, portrayed by Nana with a presence that does not pale even alongside the charisma of veteran actress Jeon Do Yeon with whom she films most of her scenes.

The drama, which recorded a viewership rating of over seven percent during its most viewed scene thus far, held a press conference in Standford Hotel in Seoul on July 28, where Nana was visibly more at ease than in the press conference before the “The Good Wife” began airing.

During the event, the singer confesses, “This is the first time I’m receiving such good comments and reactions in my career, so I’m honestly astonished.”

She continues, “On the one hand I think I should be more modest, but on the other, I think I should be a bit more confident. I must work hard until the end.”

Nana is then asked to share the secret behind her solid acting, given that this is her first ever venture into acting in Korea after having only once filmed a Chinese drama. She shares, “More than the staff’s creation of a cool original character, it’s thanks to their creation of a character who brings out the outspokenness in me.”

She adds, “I still received a lot of help about the details, like making eye contact.”

Furthermore, Nana shares her thoughts on her character, Kim Dan, being bisexual, a fact implicitly acknowledged in the Korean remake of the U.S. series of the same name.

Nana comments, “I knew from the beginning that my character is bisexual, and that didn’t burden me at all. I actually thought it would be more refreshing since there has been no such role in Korean dramas before.”

Nana Reflects On 2-Year Preparation And Future Of Her Singing And Acting Career

For singer Nana, who has ventured into K-drama acting for the first time with tvN’s “The Good Wife,” nothing is more important than her next step. As she meets both success and uncertainty with her first acting gig, many anticipate where the After School member decides to take her career from here.

In an interview, she says, “Rather than thinking about what kind of role I want to portray or genre I want to do, right now I’d like to try anything. I’m taking my first step into acting now and I’m at the stage of slowly understanding and studying it. I want to try a variety of roles without restricting myself. I’d like to do theater, indie films, and dramas as well.”

Wanting to try her hand at diverse roles, Nana has waited a long time to begin her acting career. The singer-actress didn’t rush into the industry, though she received offers throughout the two years she spent studying. After patiently refining her acting skills, she is now proving her worth through “The Good Wife.”

The After School member explains, “I’ve studied acting for two years. For around a year I worked hard studying vocalization and acting theory whenever I found time in between my promotional activities as a singer. It’s been about two years since I started studying accurate comprehension, analysis, and reading of scripts. My ambition slowly grew as I studied and I started having thoughts like, ‘I want to be on television. I want a role like that,’ but I was still lacking so I had to pass on some opportunities.”

She conveys she is often disappointed at her own acting, so Nana is that much more thankful for the praise she has received from viewers.

Nana states, “I think my acting is still unsatisfactory and lacking, so I’m grateful people look upon my weaknesses kindly. That’s why I thought somehow I should be humble and more thankful at the same time.”

Though she makes a charming actress, many fans are also anticipating her comeback to the stage, and she herself expresses her fondness for her music career.

She says, “At this time I’m enjoying acting and I have a strong desire to try other roles and characters, but singing is my main job so I do want to stand on stage soon. Arrangements haven’t been made for that yet but once they have, I want to prepare and come back.”

Be it acting or singing, whatever Nana does, she wants to do well. However, knowing all too well that sharp critiques are unavoidable, she declares her intentions of working even harder, as all eyes watch her next step.

She shares, “What I do in the future is important. According to what kind of image I’ll show and how prepared I am coming into acting, what many people now think is that I could either go on for a long time or turn back. I know to some degree it depends on my own hard work and effort, so I’ll be working harder, and researching and pondering over it to improve.”

Nana Confirms Movie With Hyun Bin And “The Good Wife” Co-Star Yoo Ji Tae



Nana has landed her next acting gig. The actress, who received great reviews for her debut role in “The Good Wife,” had received many offers since playing her character Kim Dan. She has chosen the movie “Kkoon” (translation: “Swindler”) as her next project.

She will be reuniting with Yoo Ji Tae, whom she acted alongside in tvN’s “The Good Wife.” Also starring in the film are Hyun Bin and Park Sung Woong.

“Kkoon” is a film about prosecutors and conmen who get together to catch notorious criminals who got away with 4 trillion won (approximately $3.6 billion).

“Kkoon” is set to start filming in October, and will be hitting theaters next year.

She is quite thoughtful and optimistic in her interview, but she basically confirms that Pledis did nothing for the After School members in the past few years and she ventured into acting on her own.

Totally unexpected to see her audition for this, but I think she'll do well. Plus she has already been featured on the OSTs for "It's Okay, It's Love" and "Age of Youth" so she might actually make it pretty far on the show.

Spica’s Bohyung Reveals Her Thoughts On A Potential Solo Debut

Following her success on JTBC’s “Girl Spirit,” Spica’s Bohyung candidly talks about the idea of a solo debut in an interview conducted by Star News on September 28.

She states, “I want to thoroughly try when the time comes as opposed to being greedy for a solo [right now]. I believe that the right time has yet to come. I think that when I’m ready and the timing is right, I can appear [as a solo],” emphasizing that she wants to hone her talents more.

Bohyung further explains that she believes she is still lacking at this point, and only wants to take on the challenge of a solo debut when she is satisfied with herself.

The singer recently showcased the potential she has as a soloist through her appearance on “Girl Spirit,” where she ended up taking the ultimate win on yesterday’s final episode.

While she may not have plans to go solo in the near future, Bohyung does reveal that she would like to try her hand at hip-hop if she were to release an album.


What genre do you think she should also attempt?

which was your favourite finale performance? are you happy with the top two? who do you want to see in Girl Spirit season 2?

I hope they change up the Group A/Group B alternate episode format in S2, because lbr most people only watch for their biases (me) and miss out on the other 6 girls. but overall, well-produced with straightforward editing, and the supportive atmosphere all around was really heartwarming! I think Jinsol had the time of her life being surrounded by so many unnies lol

it took winning #1 to get her to do aegyo for the first time ever, amazing
