Song Seung-heon made of wax

81 February 21, 2013February 20, 2013

by javabeans

javabeans: …just now, I mean. As in, by Madame Tussaud’s in Busan. Although, should we be scared that the wax doll looks eerily like the human version?

girlfriday: They all look eerily like the human versions, but should the question really be: Which came first?

javabeans: You mean, is there the possibility that there was this beautiful wax creation somewhere who woke up one day and longed to be a real boy?

girlfriday: Yes! I’ve seen Mannequin.

javabeans: And he thought that acting would help put him in touch with the range of human emotion? In which case… I’m not sure that experiment worked.

girlfriday: Don’t deny that you’ve had similar thoughts about Song Seung-heon’s origin story.

javabeans: [prolonged silence] The thing is… that line of thinking is almost so obvious that I wonder if it’s too easy to make the joke. Like, low-hanging snarkfruit.

girlfriday: *thinks dirty thoughts about low-hanging fruit*

javabeans: *is grossed out by thoughts of low-hanging fruit being dirty* Must wash brain with eye candy. Though this photo above is just as creepy as it is pretty. You know, I’ve always said that Song Seung-heon was so beautiful as to be artificial, like one of those androids in A.I.

girlfriday: So then is his artificial wax replica impressive or just redundant?

javabeans: You could argue that the world can never decry an extra Song Seung-heon lying around to be admired.

girlfriday: Ain’t that the truth. And now I’m distracted by thoughts of a Song Seung-heon in every household…

javabeans: And hey, that gives the Real Deal extra time to go out and act and stuff while his backup fills the posing quota. Send Waxy out to Vogue shoots and you can hardly tell the difference! …though I suppose you could argue that there’s little difference on the acting front too. *badum-ching*

girlfriday: There goes the low-hanging fruit.

javabeans: I tried to avoid it, really I did. But low-hanging fruit is low-hanging that way. Gets in your way until you just have to pay it attention. The real question is, is he beautiful like a robot, or was there just an extra dose of loving, detailed, time-consuming attention paid to his wax doll?

girlfriday: What you really mean is, who gets to do that measuring job?

javabeans: “I detect a flaw. Must call him back. And hey, must make sure it feels the same too…” Considering that the thing took 200 million won to produce, I wouldn’t be surprised if “attention to detail” were the culprit. On that note, I think the complaint must be noted that a replica of Song Seung-heon is blatantly inaccurate without inclusion of his choco abs.

girlfriday: Seriously, why make one at all then? We demand a recall!

LOL! If only the replica is of him with that towel that we love so much (or hate so much? For I vaguely remember a number of laser beam stares trying to destroy it) it would be even a bigger hit than Psy's Gangnam Style. That doll would sell like nothing the world ever witness before.

I've always thought he looked a bit like a Korean version of Ken... This wax figure is totally creepy though, in the way some toys are when you make them human-sized and stare at them for too long..

I never thought that until looking at this wax figure, it's kind of creepy, though now I want to see a drama with Han Chae Young and Song Seung-heon. Korean Barbie and Korean Ken? The screen would explode from all the pretty.

Nam Gyu-ri is more like the Korean Barbie (which is not the same as being the most beautiful), except she is a bit on the short side.

HCY is more like the Korean Julia Roberts w/ that oversized mouth/smile.

This is what Song Seung-heon does best - stand around. That guy should really just give up acting....he...just...can't...do...it. He can make a good living modeling, and save himself the embarrassment of yet another pathetic acting job.

laraffinee:
I don't think he's a bad actor. I've seen worse. At least he acknowledges he can improve which shows humility. From what I've seen, he seems like a decent guy.
I'm all for freedom of opinion but let's show some respect to the actors.

He gets paid to act. Any other career, he would've been fired by now for being so terrible at his job. Anyway, it's only a slight at Song Seung Heon: the actor and not Song Seung Heon: the person. I'm surprised when I read his interviews; he seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

For a guy who has been given so many opportunities because of his looks and still no improvement, I'll have to agree with laraffinee. He just cant act and he knows it.

He is so pretty yet he doesn't have the same effect on me as Godfrey Gao. I wonder if it's the facial hair thing. Godfrey has an edge that Seung-heon is lacking. Won Bin ajushi is the only one competing with Godfrey in my heart right now. Even Danniel Henney has been overtaken. Hehe!

I must be the only one that liked SSH's acting in My Princess then, if everyone else thinks he's void of any acting talent of any kind. Haven't seen him in dramas, and My Princess was the only drama I watched him in, but I thought he was good, especially the light-hearted scenes. If he's really that bad at dramatic acting, then maybe he should stick with more romantic comedies.

Required fields are marked *

Laurita

February 21, 2013 at 9:46 AM

I watched it too and it was quite nice: easy, cute, etc. He's not a total piece of wood, but the rumors saying, he just has this ... um... over-dramatic aura (eyes) in very serious scenes (though not in that drama, as far as I remember). The good thing is that he knows his acting abilities too (said it in some interview).

February 21, 2013 at 4:33 PM

He's not that bad. I think he did a good job in My Princess. The problem is people expect more from him because he's one of the big names in Korean entertainment industries. He even shared an award with Kim Myung Min who is the God of acting which I think said a lot about his star power.
It's understandable why people expect a higher acting skills from him which unfortunately he couldn't deliver.

February 22, 2013 at 8:50 PM

Doing light, romcoms like "My Princess" is what SSH should concentrate on doing, esp. when his female co-star (Kim Tae-hee in MP) does the heavy lifting in the emotional/dramatic scenes.

SSH just has a problem emoting naturally when his character is the one doing the heavy lifting emotionally (as in "Dr. Jin").

I thought his signature is his bug out.. I mean his over dramatic eyes so they should have his eyes bug ... I mean make his eye over dramatic than his signature smirk is that even a smirk at all. I wonder how his drama going so far???
