SNSD’s Yuri up for Fashion King alongside Yoo Ah-in
by javabeans
With one female lead rumored to be Shin Se-kyung, idol singer Yuri of SNSD is now the leading contender for the other female lead to romance Yoo Ah-in in upcoming fashion drama Fashion King.
According to a statement by an SM Entertainment rep on the 17th, Yuri has received the offer and is positively considering taking it, which would mean that she’d be joining groupmates Yoon-ah and Sooyoung in taking on acting projects in the new year. (Yoon-ah’s got the melodrama Love Rain on her slate, Sooyoung has TV Chosun’s Speed.)
Let’s hope Yuri proves to have more affinity for acting, since I’m pretty sure there are a lot of Yoo Ah-in fans who’d howl in indignation to have his next drama marred by an awkward co-star. And I’m pretty sure by “a lot” I mean many more than just me. To her credit, Yuri’s got sitcom experience (2007’s Unstoppable Wedding) so it’s not her first acting gig ever, though it would be her drama debut.
Most initial reports stated that Yoo Ah-in was not a lock to play Fashion King’s fashion king, but it’s looking like his casting is pretty close to confirmed at this point. The drama follows the success story of a young man who starts his business in the Dongdaemun Market and climbs, presumably, to much greater heights. It airs next year on SBS.

I'll save my judgement after I see this drama. Yuri has a bright personality and I'm waiting what she can offer with this drama. I saw Sooyoung in a movie with Lee Yeon Hee and I thought she was decent. Just a little more practice and studying, I think she can improve.

I don't understand people saying they want normal actors not idol actors in their dramas. There are TONS of good dramas being aired in Korea that don't star any idol actors at all.
I'm a fan of kpop and I'm excited to see someone I know star in a drama, it makes me want to watch it.

this is a no, no, no!... SM please stop sending your idols to acting... bc you see that jae and yoochun could do it. If they got into acting is bc you blocked them. Your other idols already have enough publicity. Let the real actor to captivate our eyes! :(

Jae sucked when he first started acting, heaven postman was boring yet no one complains about it because it's JAE. I think that yuri should have taken little roles and climb up for more bigger roles. But if you can give jae a chance, then why can't she.

Heavens postman was not that bad, and his performance fit his character
Jaejoong was also in a Japanese drama (but not as a leading man)
^ he was up for an acting award for this
and he was good in protect the boss

I am sorry, I am just annoyed that SM is sending idols into acting. I know other companies do it as well. But, see there are so many idols into acting nowadays. and I agree with Snoopy, Jae had so many good reviews from the beginning. I just want JYJ to have the change to participate more in broad stations. Sorry, If I offended anyone.

Uh oh. Please be decent, Yuri. I'm one of those fans who'd howl in indignation. Don't ruin it for us, YAI fans.

I actually really like yuri but I'm iffy about her acting, even though she did have that sitcom gig but that was a long time ago. let's hope she surprises me.

He was rumored to be in that drama with Sooyoung, right? I wish he chose that tbh, he and Sooyoung would look good together and I know Sooyoung would probably be a better actor than Yuri lol. Plus Sooyoung seems like she can hold her own against YAI's prickly personality lol Yuri and YAI together will be a trainwreck.
I love SNSD but I have to say, I am very apprehensive about this.

Ehem...Acctually, the first of SNSD's member who's being actress is Yuri....
1. Cameo in Super Junior movie
2. With SooYoung in Unstoppable marriage
So, she's not a newbie in this field...
(and don't bash her anymore)

Yes, you can count me as one of those girls that are indignant right now at Yuri being given the lead role.

I wish best of luck for her in acting.
But I don't like the idea of getting idol turned to be an actor.
This is totally blaaaahhh...

Hrmmmmmmm. I would rather have Idols have a cameo first to see if they can or not... Then a very minor role.... Then supporting role....then a major role.... That would be soooo much better.... Also....we need more rookie acors/actresses than Idols.... So it seem that beginning of 2012 have become snsd members to become actress.. :p

sighh... another unproven idol as a lead....
i dont think YAI will be happy if she her acting is bad since he has such a straightforward in your face bitchy personality lol...
btw how many idol doing acting, have actually proven their acting so far?
award wise its only 2 male actors i think (youchon ssk and t.o.p - 71 into the fire)
no female yet hmm

Yoo Ah In should just be in a drama by himself.
I don't want him with any female lead!
):
I want him for myself
(:
But yeah, I'm on the Shin Se Kyung train solely because she's a good actresses.
How did this topic become a Sone vs Elf war zone. And where the hell do they get these weird fan club names?

i'm really not too sure about this. i mean i really couldn't care less if they gave her all the roles in any other drama...but alongside yu ah in...im sorry.
If Yuri does get the role though, i don't think i feel like those two are a good match...you know what i mean. as well, this is ahin's first leading role in a drama. it took him how many years to get to this?? i just dont think Yuri will be able to hold her own with AhIn, purely because he is more experienced and the better actor. Hardwork alone may not be enough to pay off. She needs more experience before she can consider a leading role.

Well all I care about is only Yoo Ah In~ He's got his first leading role in a DRAMA! Yay! I know he's more into films/chungmuro and has awards under his belt. But I'm craving him more for a daily dose of @seeksik ^___^ It's good for my health!
Anyway, the article doesn't say that Yuri gets the leading role, so chillax.

I can't really stand SNSD..they are way too cutesy for my like and I don't particularly know Yuri ... Maybe if she can act then it would change my perspective.

Being a fan of SNSD, I'd be glad to see any of them in any drama... So long as they don't screw up acting alongside respected actors.
Apparently Yuri's not the only one, as with Yoona and Sooyoung's already-announced roles/potential roles, Jessica's the next one, with a role in Wild Romance/Violent Romance alongside Lee Dongwook. Jessica's not a 'lead' though, she's playing LDW's first love or something.

Ewwwww..... I like Sooyoung and she has potential but not Yuri.
This sounds like a knockoff of Cinderella Man with Yoona.

I really don't like SNSD and beside that i don't think any of those girls have a real acting talent. So I'm not exicted by the news I don't want to see Yoo Ah-in's talent wasted. Please cast a good leading female for him!!!

Yuri definitely can act and she already proved it when she accepted a cameo role for an MV..she received a lot of praises in her acting in that particular mv..she can act well i doubt her acting skill before too,but when i saw her act i was so impressed and like her even more..why don't give Yuri a shot? we never know she might can act better than what we think..after all this is just Yuri's first drama ating debut..why judge her immediately when we haven't see her acting in a drama yet..?!

Wow people are so negative! We haven't even seen the drama yet and ppl are so quick to judge her. Hopefully everything works out and Yuri proves to us she can act and we get to see YAI's face again! Can't wait to watch all the dramas and movies SNSD will be in next year.
