Well, Younha is different from other pop stars.

She's naturally beautiful, her voice is amazing, and can play the piano CRAZY GOOD.

So, I think she'll do a good job :)

she sorta does ok in the MVs ive seen... so maybe she will be a decent actress?

love her singing for sure ^^

kekeke :) I guess I'm used to this because every-single-canto-pop-star is also an actor.

And almost every actor tries to be a popstar as well...

Now that's cross-marketing for ya!

yeah...funny how musical talent somehow gets magically translated into acting charisma and vice versa...with a lot of them you're never sure which quality was there in the first place :( but younha's a gifted musician & obviously seems to be a sensitive, creative type so it could work out for her...

nothing could turn out as bad as lee hyori's forays into dramas could it? it might explain why she's gone back to plagiarizing music from western artists who are shady to begin with...

It's very, very common for Japanese films to feature non-actors/non-idols (*cough* Moonchild *cough*) in prominent, if not starring roles. It's really not a big deal. Ishibashi Ryo (often featured as a tough cop in films and J-dramas) was a popular rock singer for many years before he started acting. I think Nakashima Mika even won an actress award for her definite non-acting in Nana (much better in Nana 2, but that movie was pants.)

When Younha started out in Japan, she got compared a lot to Yui. And of course Yui starred in the film version of Taiyou no Uta. Until lately (mostly out of frustration against the JE domination of the idol J-drama circuit), Japanese movies didn't have the same domestic commercial currency as they did in other Asian countries. So, if a budding musician shows in a movie, it's more about furthering his or her musical career than indulging their inner Sting or Jagger. The amateury, yet sincere "non-acting"-ness is partially what make these crossover attempts so charming in Japanese dramas/movies, yet just cringeworthy in Korean dramas. Also, it's fitting for Younha, since her latest release is musically closer to her Japanese albums than her Korean work.

"Next sunday" often alludes to sporting events, especially footie and AMerican football. Early synopsis of "Next Sunday" says the backdrop will be 2002 World Cup. Kenmochi Satoki's serious work (ie. Just Another Day) has been featured on the festival circuit, so it's even possible that this Younha movie may end up at Sundance. This is roughly the equivalent of starring in a Lee Yoon-Ki drama, so this will be a great opportunity for Younha as an artist.

does anybody know where can I watch that Day of Praise she made?

I've been searching all over and I can't find this movie with English subs... *sad*. I really want to see how Younha acted, and the film itself sounds really interesting. The trailer was good. But yeah, does anyone know if this can be found? And where?
