Seo Woo featured in July’s Cosmo and Bazaar
by javabeans
Seo Woo, most recently of the KBS melodrama Cinderella’s Sister, is featured in the upcoming issues of two fashion mags; she goes romantic for Cosmopolitan (above), then short-haired and chic for Harper’s Bazaar (below).
In her Cosmo spread, she explained what it was like shooting a drama series (Cinderella’s Sister) while also working on a film (The Housemaid): “I really felt my physical limitations. When filming the latter parts of Cinderella’s Sister, I poured out everything of myself so I feel relieved.” In the Bazaar interview, she said, “Of every role I’ve done so far, I think Hyo-sun [in Cinderella’s Sister] was the one where I acted the worst. But it was the character I worked hardest on.”
Seo Woo described her character in Crush and Blush to be the closest to herself, as it was “99% like me.” She added, “Showing such different characters in every project could make it difficult for the public to remember you as an actor, but in the future I want to continue showing diverse images.”
Considering that she made her debut only three years ago, Seo Woo has had a pretty meteoric rise — not only did she win a newcomer’s award for her Crush and Blush role, she then took a lead role in a drama series (Tamra the Island), earned more praise for a dark indie thriller (Paju), became a CF fixture, and was able to work with such industry heavyweights as Jeon Do-yeon, Lee Jung-jae, Lee Mi-sook, and Moon Geun-young. Pretty impressive.

I love Seo Woo! No matter what people say, I think she's a fantastic actress and she's beautiful. I've loved her in a lot of her works and I can't wait to see the Housemaid. I bet she's a stunningly beautiful and lonely character! These pics are totally gorgeous and I wish her luck in the near future!

Pretty... but the her pose and the cut of the dress in the last pixs doesn't work... Why don't stylist help to adjust the thing below her neck? The dress looks uncomfortable...

I agree! she does give off the YEH air. I really like how diverse Seo Woo can be and how different she can look and feel from project to project.

she's like a chameleon ... excellently adapting herself to the various characters that she played. i love her acting and at her age, she's already considered a really good actress. i believe she's going to go far in her acting career.
@ lambayyx: i so agree with you especially the way she looks in that second pic.

in the last short-hair picture she kinda looks like Yoon Eun-Hye (i think that's her name?) but ohhh, i likeeee that short hairdo, looks good on her. she looks a lil plastic sometimes to me, but her acting is definitely solid.

@ 4 Nhu : I hope your not just assuming she had plastic surgery. I know there are many talks about Asian actors/actresses/celebrities (primarily Korean and Japanese - more so the former) having had plastic surgeries, but for the most part, is it so bad to assume their looks are natural unless otherwise proven? People ARE naturally beautiful you know.... But if she did have surgery like you said, well, what does that matter? All the more to look at.

I liked her in CS very much but at times she looks almost cartoon like. If they light her the wrong way she looks very odd. Almost slightly Down Syndrome. It has to be plastic surgery. Her eyes and nose are strange.
Sometimes she looks beautiful and at other times just downright weird.
I think she looks good in these photos, but I agree that the last one in the dress looks awkward. That's not her fault. Her management should not let these through.
I've seen Paju and I didn't recognize that it was her at first. I've also seen Crush and Blush and there is no way I would have picked her......in fact I didn't throughout the whole movie.
Maybe that was a youth thing but she sure has changed.

Check out her pre-debut photos. Photos speak louder than words.
Some actresses are born w/ talent and beauty.
as..for seowoo, thank goodness for plastic surgery (?)
although she's obviously overdone it.

She is one of my favourite actresses, leading the list.
I watched every movie and drama of her and was always surprised how versatile she is. Definitively one very good actress who has still many years ahead, and will become much better with time as she already is.
Regarding her looks or plastic surgery - I dont care, because she is such an good actress, its even not worth talking about her surgery /-ies.
As an non-asian, I have to say, that her look is even so different, non-common, I can remember her face very well / better. As for some actresses I have to look 2-3 times to distuingish them from each other. (suppose we eorupeans look nearly all the same to others too...) ...so, lets say, acting before looks :)
I wish her a great carreer and a new drama asap, cant wait to see her onscreen again :)

it doesnt matter if an actress or actor had plastic surgery UNTIL they started to claimed they're natural beuty. Seo Woo never claimed she's natural, so i dont have any problem with her plastic or not.
what makes her special is how good her acting is. i find her one of the most talented actress in her age. i think, she had the widest range of character than any of other actress in her age. and considering she just started her career in 3 years make her stand out even more.

I don't think her acting in CS as HS was bad. I even think sometimes she gave MGY a run for her money

I discovered Seo Woo in Cinderella's Sister and I noticed three things right away.
1) That girl has huge (read: Yoooge) feet for someone her size. As a woman with ocean-tanker feet myself, this makes me happy.
2) She is GORGEOUS. She's so beautiful that I often ended up getting distracted in scenes and had to rewind.
3) Luckily she's also a wonderful actress so once I got past the HOMG-so-pretty! factor, there was something of substance. Good luck to her!

The girl's got tons of calibre. Her star's really rising and fast, too. Her acting chops are really commendable - definitely one to look out for.

Doesn't she look kind of michael jackson-esque in the first photo?
@19 JohnC- I agree with you about seo woo looking slightly down syndrome sometimes. When I first saw her, I couldn't help but think, "She must have gotten surgery" because something about her looked weird...unnatural- weird.
Anyways, seo woo's acting skills are pretty impressive considering the fact that she debuted only three years ago. I didn't think much of her in Crush and Blush & Paju (I didn't watch Tamra), but I think she really stepped it up in Cinderella Sister. So many props to her.

This girl is being entirely too hard on herself. I find her captivating in every role that she plays. Surgery, smurgery...her greatest assets have nothing to do with anything artificial. She's a definite keeper and a quality addition to any project lucky enough to have signed her on...

Good there are not too many close-up shots. Her face is out of proportion. Her eyeballs are too big for that face. Something just doesn't look right.

She really was excellent in CS. Intense to the max. Both those girls must have kept well hydrated because of all the tears they shed. It was waterfall time.
I had to hide my non-manly sniffing so many times.

I thought she'd be a good lead for it started with a kiss korean since she reminds me of ariel lin. And they both can pull off the cute and annoying. Sigh, but I really doubt that'll happen :[

i thought she was gonna be an untalented plastic woman but she proved me wrong. for most people i guess its not the surgery that we hate but what you do after it. seowoo never flaunted whatever that was she had done and focused on her talent instead.. it takes something to stand against all that criticism and finish it off with grace!

Plastic surgery nose!!!! LOL There is no point getting plastic surgery if it looks fake. Don't Koreans realize that? You need to improve subtly, not erase and replace.

I agree with her non natural features, but her personality as an actress shines through, she's brilliant both in tamra, the island and cinderella sister. YAYA

While watching her in Cinderella's Sister, I felt her eyes were too big for her face, almost cartoonish and bulging. Then I found out she had surgery. Is it considered beautiful in Korea to have humongous eyes? I always thought proportion of all facial features was key to beauty...
