Gu Hye-sun takes the stage in The Musical
by javabeans
Drama series The Musical began filming earlier this month, and we’ve already seen the stills of “musical diva” Ok Joo-hyun performing onstage. In that scene, the character played Gu Hye-sun watches in the audience and reaffirms her musical aspirations.
Gu is currently in the thick of dancing and vocal rehearsals for her role as a medical student whose real dream is to become a musical actress. Her passion for the stage is so great that she takes a break from medical school to give her dreams a try.
Despite her efforts, Gu’s character fails eighty auditions, thanks to her unusually low singing voice. (This should be interesting, since Gu’s own singing voice isn’t low, and I presume she was cast in this drama because she would be doing her own singing. On the contrary, her voice is on the thin, high side.)
The Musical is planning to air later this year, but doesn’t have a scheduled premiere date yet.

"On the contrary, her voice is on the thin, high side."
I wasn't a music major, nor have I sung since high school choir, so my facts might be a little off... but it could be that she has a very strong chest voice and until now has only used her head voice to since.

@andiwaslike:
I totally understand what you mean. Honestly, she's starting to look kind of really bizarre with the false eyelashes and the suspiciously unnatural-looking nose...
I dunno. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if her acting is better this time around.

Back in 2008 I called KBS and asked about Ku Hye Sun the "singer". He laughed at me and said she was "only an actress." Yeah - right, I guess the title song in Pure in Heart, her song in Boys Before Flowers, and now The Musical Kind of make him look foolish. I can't wait to hear this "non-singer" perform. Knock 'em dead Hye Sun !!
Don't forget her album "Sum." I wish I wasn't as talented as her !

a lot of korean people ,specially females ,have very pale skin like han ga in ,kim tae hee ,song hye kyo and gu kye sun ,and is contrasting when they are paired with tanned actors ,like kim tae hee with lee byung hun in iris or song hye kyo with rain in full house ,scientifically women are some 3 % lighter than males

I think in Asia, pale white is preferred for females. When I was holding my baby girl @ her 1 month old, someone came up to me and told me "you must have eaten too much soy sauce, that's why your baby is so dark!" Wow! Darker skin is associated with "worker" who had to labor in the fields. Anyways, back to the subject, I think Hye Sun looks very poetically sweet. Her color is just fine. She's a very good actor.

That bob hairstyle just brought back terrifying memories of BOF. Let's hope she does better here, or atleast, walks properly.

I like her with long hair... I hope she has long hair in the drama! Or at least not the JD's hair from BOF. Still short hair but different style should be fine.
On a side note, I love those oversize sweaters that I see her wear in BOF. Like the one in the pic above (:

i don't know what everyone is being so critical...i think she's very cute and talented. not a lot of actress can do a musical. give the chick a chance. i really like her! i personally think she's cute, talented, and a true artist. she isn't all that popular bc she's not trashy like(LEE HYROI for example).....she sells true talent.

@20 - Hey, please don't insult Hyori. She can sing well and is a really charming, dorky and funny person - she is so lovable and she works really hard. Plus she looks superbly hot for her age. Aja aja hwaiting!

Lee Hyori a good singer? I'm not sure about that but I think she and her management company knows she's not the best singer so she makes it up in the good looks/dancing department.

@26, i agree to you too! Goo hye sun does'nt have that husky and powerful voice, but she can sing and given the chance to dance, she can be good at it too,maybe way better and decent singer and dancer than LH.

The last I checked Gu Hye-sun was set to act in a Taiwanese drama this year also! Based on a Japanese manga, Zettai Kareshi, which was actually made into a Japanese drama... I don't know whether her voice will be dubbed though...
