SNSD’s Yuri up for Fashion King alongside Yoo Ah-in

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 don't know why, but I have a particular dislike for her. I like SNSD moderately; it's just her...
I hope she can act, in any case.

Perhaps because SM fashioned her to be the next Yoona? I think every one of those girls switches their turns in the limelight...like a rotation system or something.

I agree to this! LOL...it seems like that for every time SNSD promotes in my opinion...It was Taeyeon, then Yoona, then Tiffany, Jessica, then Seohyun...I guess it's Yuri's turn?! I seriously hope Yuri's got the acting skill! I was kinda hoping for Moon Geun Young's return to dramaland already!

You might be on to something about SM trying to make her out as the next Yoona...I always thought there was something that felt just off with her and now that I think about (and with what you said), I think you've nailed it: it's like she trying to be this image/person who is not her.

Anyways, I hope she can act too. Somehow, I have a feeling Sooyoung and Jessica will have no problems with their roles. Yuri? Not so sure. LOL.

I like some of their songs, never cared for them one way or the other and never bothered to try to learn all their names unless they do something that makes them stand out since there are 9 of them. *sigh* Is it bad that as a fan of TWDR I really want Shin Sekyung to take this? If Yuri does gets casted I'm willing to give her and this drama a shot but seriously, how can you say no to this? The best of luck to the those involved with this drama.

Someone just pointed it out and I reread the article and it says "other female lead". Aha! Got it. Now I don't mind as much if Yuri gets the role as long as it's playing second fiddle. Phew. Hey, they all need to start somewhere, and taking the lead - as in the main female romantic interest - is not a place to start. That just leaves us with the story to worry about.

I read in the original Korean article that they're still looking for the heroine so that's good! Yuri will only be either a second lead or a supporting. I hope the latter. Idols should learn from the bottom up from now on.

Yuri has been offered alot of times already and she has been turning them down coz she's too busy with her music career..,That's why no official news is out if she is gonna take it coz they're still considering the filming schedule and SNSD schedule; and see if she won't affect the schedules and that she can always come to their group's events...I'm actually proud of Yuri being always having to prioritize her group's schedule than a fame for herself..

And that pretty much means that if she can't act, a whole fan club will be behind her and our comments will become irrelevant. "-___-

So I just hope she can act so she won't ruin this for me and fuel more of my dislike towards SNSD.

I don't want to be mean but can production companies/directors/whoever make the decision give the leading roles to actors and actresses before they give it to an idol. I mean I'm not trying to say that an idol can't act but I would like them to prove themselves by taking on supporting roles before getting a lead role -- just like how rookie actors/actresses get their start.

There are plenty of actresses with fanbases too. And I'm sure that even fans will notice if their idol is not suited to the job at hand (acting). I think it's going to take a ratings tank in order for the production companies to see that this is not the answer.

yep, you're right.. but not that much fanbase outside korea.. we all know that these production companies want their product to be bought by the different countries.. and knowing that these ~idol~ aka the ~hallyu stars~ will give them that, they'll pick them more than those actresses :D

Hey hey. If you read comment 1.2.1, I said she can have at the role as long as it's not the main female romantic lead role. And even if your precious Yuri started at the bottom musically, I don't think jumping to a lead role for an acting career counts as starting at the bottom. I love idols who have made it big acting wise (some may or may not be Yoon Eun-hye, Yoon Kye-sang, Lee Seunggi, Sung Yuri, read here), but that doesn't mean I am always so willing to embrace them all when they haven't proven themselves. I always advocated for idols to be given a chance (considering they suffer just as much as newbie actors, and are usually aspiring thespians who had to take the idol route to receive recognition) as long as they earned the casting fair and square.

Mmm, wouldn't go that far. It's true she was at her best in Coffee Prince and hasn't been able to achieve that level since. She's pretty limited, and she's awkward when miscast, but in the right role (re: CP) she's fantastic. I think, though, her main problem lies in picking decent projects. Out of her five dramas, three have been stinkers (imo).

I agree with you! she's a good actress but her drama choices recently where not good! Maybe if she agreed to be the leading lady of Lee Min Ho for Personal Taste, I think she would have been great (not that Son Ye Jin was not good). Yoon Eun Hye is well known for taking her character into a new level of studying and she embraces her character very well... but like what you said, her choices lately were not outstanding...

Am I the only one who felt the screen sizzled when she cameo in Personal Taste? At that point, I wished she had taken that role (not that Son Ye Jin was not good).

Yeah, YEH is limited, but that's exactly my point.

W/o a good script, a good character and a PD who knows what he/she is doing, YEH is lost as an actress.

Sure, a big problem has been that YEH has been picking some bad projects (she nearly missed out on "Coffee Prince" as well if a prior commitment hadn't fallen thru), but even in bad projects, good actresses don't come across as over-acting as YEH has done in pretty much all her projects save CP.

And I'm saying this as someone who really roots for YEH and knew of her before she started acting (back in her X-Man days).

bd, are you one of ex YEH'fans who turn into anti-fans ? cause I read all of your post always bashing YEH whenever the topic about her came up. And it seems you're a passionate one, always belittle her whenever you've got a chance LOL
I know as an actor YEH is far from perfect, but she'll improve cause she have talent. The problem is her choice of her latest projects. For a top actress she's too kind and loyal. Thrown away some good project for a messy one in the name of loyality & compassion. If you call her "bad actor" because of that so be it, but it didn't lowered my opinion about her as a talented actress and especially as a good human being.

I don't think YEH is 'limited' although I think she has to be carefully in picking out dramas.

I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Yoona, on the other hand...nope. =P If both those 2 can't prove themselves, then wouldn't that give SME the agency with the most idol/actors who can't act?

And hey, let's give her a chance - there are enough Korean actors and actresses who are also solely casted since they are good-looking (or other, erm, peculiar reasons) and prove to be the exact acting-failure everyone expected them to be.

I'm surprised that Dramabeans didn't post the recent report of idols taking over roles from rookie actors and the acting agencies' growing concern. It's becoming a huge issue because they have less opportunities to grow as actors.

Instead idols, many of whom should remain idols, are given roles. They don't have the emotional depth to carry the role (YoonA). They fall flat on their faces.

It's annoying. I don't watch dramas to watch idols. I watch dramas for the chemistry, for the story and the acting. Watching a drama is like being temporarily transported to Korea. I wish casting directors realized this.

Idols should do light-hearted sitcoms and leave the heavy stuff to the ACTORS. It seriously makes my blood boil that a potentially talented and gifted young actress lost out on this role because of this idol-girl.

Some idols can act (Uee, Eunjung, TOP) but the vast majority can't hold their own.

I do think, like someone else pointed out, that SM and various other agencies invested money into the production of these dramas to secure roles.

(Note: SM has horrible actors. They lost their best three when DBSK broke up. Everyone else is laughable. More looks then talent.)

If you read my comment again, I never said TOP was one of the country's finest. I did say he can act. And he can. He's lacking, like many young actors are. But he has a lot of potential to mature and grow. He can become a very fine actor.

I think Siwon is worse then T.O.P. I haven't seen anything Sulli's been in. Didn't know she was an actress.

I beg to differ. Some idols only seem like they can act b/c their first few roles suited them, while others was blatantly obvious of their lacking talent b/c the role did not cover up their acting flaws.

Give most of these idols something that veers off of their natural persona and it's like deer in headlights. Acting takes experience, time, and effort, not just natural affinity. I don't have a problem with idols acting as long as they attended appropriate schooling or have the experience to truly integrate with their characters before taking on lead roles.

Yuri has the nicest overall physique along w/ Seohyun, but she's not one of the more interesting members of SNSD to look at (if this is what producers are basing casting on).

Of all the members, I'd like to see what Taeyoon could do on the acting front (and yes, Yoona is pretty flat as an actress - based on what I saw of her in "9End2Outs."

I was disappointed when I saw it on Soompi and I'm still disappointed. allkpop reported that she was offered the lead role; I hope it's incorrect. I've never seen Yuri act, so I can't comment on her abilities, but I am getting really tired of these idols who are trying to break it into the film/drama industry. It's really sad that the Korean industry is selling itself by giving lead parts to idol-wannabe-actors/actresses. I don't have a problem with giving them supporting roles, but lead? They should leave that to the real actors and actresses. I can only pray that Yuri will be better than YoonAh. But it's not too late for Yoo Ah In to decline this role; I really, really want to see him decline it.

I really wish casting directors would look for more newbie actors than casting idols. I like idols, but I wish they would stick to what they're good at. I know some idols intend to act, but their company sticks them in a group to gain exposure first. However, if they don't have the talent to survive on acting alone, then maybe acting is not for them? Also, I don't mind when they're cast in sitcoms, (and maybe daily dramas and weekend dramas for side characters), but main roles especially dramas (and movies) are another story.

I hope Yuri is good at acting because I don't know if I can watch something even with Yoo Ah In if I can't watch one of the main characters.

Also, idol actors do bring in viewers, but bad acting keeps away more viewers than those actors end up bringing in. Oh wells, the casting isn't confirmed so we shall see.

Honestly, I can't say I'm too excited for the drama itself... Only Yoo Ah In :X

Oh crap.
I hope YAI jumps ship.
It feels like SM is using JGS and now YAI to promote their idols and it doesn't feel fair to JGS and YAI fans.

I am cringing at this so much. Granted i've only seen maybe one or two episodes of Unstoppable Marriage but from what i recalled it was rather vapid and not enough development to actually determine whether she can act even though i am told that she really can not...

I am not looking forward to it, if she really is playing a leading role i will probably drop it all together. Despite saying this i'm not against idols acting, i like it when i can see that they CAN act but i do wish dramas weren't plagued by idols, it seems to lower the quality and take away jobs from rookie actors that would jump at the opportunity and would probably do a better job.

SM does not have the power to choose the lead actors nor do they have the power to pay broadcasting companies to hire their artists. Some people give them way too much credit.

A slew of idols entering the k-dramas and everything essentially boils down to all their performances next year. They need to majorly step it up and prove themselves or it's going to be a disappointing 2012.

maybe you can watch yuri in variety show playground and clapping and jumping all you want. or you want she act with man can you just pull out the money and produce a sitcom where you the snsd fans can watch the drama alone.

we are talking about real drama here not some playground for kids who clapping and jumping all around.

that why Lee Min Ho hates idols who get easyly get a lead roles in drama.

I don't see why these idols are treated as if they are seasoned pros. A lot of them has barely any acting credits in their pockets yet they were given first/second lead roles. I think if the idols really do want to transition into acting, they should start out as any other rookie actors: from the bottom. Or if they do get a lead role, it shouldn't be so significant, like Taecyeon's role in Cinderella's Sister. I think that was a smart move from the producers. It was a "lead" role, but the character didn't have much complexity. He was sweeping for half the time anyways.

The sad thing when idols with no acting background whatsoever take over the main roles is that the drama ends up becoming really unbalanced. Yoo Ah-in, who I consider a heavyweight actor of his generation, will have to carry so much of the drama himself if a newcomer like Yuri is the opposite lead. If Yuri turns out to be very good, then that's great. Lucky for them. But if not, it'll just be a sad situation. The heavyweight player will be pulling in the charisma, but there won't be any chemistry, which will be a shame. I'm not saying Yuri shouldn't play in the drama at all, but I hope she gets a less significant role.

Funny thing with Taec, in the end his character was the one bright light in that drama lol.

it's frustrating to see idols getting all the acting gigs.. and they can't even act.. except for a few.

i'm probably be guessing if Yuri gets this, her acting will be bloody stiff. i can't have another KHJ.

and i don't get production companies saying if we get idols to act, ratings will be higher.. but if the drama doesn't live up to their expectations.. who's gonna pay the price?

i am an elf so i know sms tactics and i can gurantee that they def paid for her role. she didnt audition like any real actresses. no, she wanted to be in a drama so her daddy, sm town, just paid the production team the ammout. snsd are sms precious princesses. they get whatever they want without trying or hard work. hence why i never accept their talent in the music industry or acting. i hate seeig idols act. theres a reason you are a singer first and if you have no experience. do not take the freaking lead. take somethig minor like hara did in city hunter. she was important, but her role was not the lead and did not make the audience want to punch her face.

that is not particularly true, some sm idols have to turn down good acting offers because of their schedules and oversea activities. I know that as cassie..

you elfs are too pressed with snsd relevance..
I'm not even sone. but the girls were like nobodies for 2-3 years after their debut, and uh their MVs, outfits etc were rather cheap, sm started to put effort and money in them only when they got it big..

No hard work?, i'm not a SNSD fan but that's just pure BS and you know it. They started with full of anti because Suju&dbsk fans hates them, dream concert blackout incident? They didn't gain massive popularity until 2 years later with gee. Now they have to work harder after dbsk left since they've become SM new money maker.

Are you saying that's not hard work? They manage to survive even with so many antis that you can't even see at any other idols. Half of the members trained more than 5 years. I just can't with people hating on SNSD when their concept and formulation are based from SUJU.

If SNSD have dicks, thing would be reacted differently. SMH at you. SNSD hate should be over by now.

Wow.
Bitter much?

Do you also want to punch Donghaes face in since he's second lead in Skip Beat?

Its possible that SM does support productions resulting in their idols being cast

Possible examples being Poseidon/Athena/Paradise Ranch
i dont know if the situation is similar for Love Rain and Heading to the ground

I'm far from being an SNSD fan and i have no idea what Yuri would be like as an actor'

I know that she's not good at Singing/Rapping so maybe she's trying to diversify while she can because once she hits her late twenties the idol thing isnt really going to work out for her and she lacks the musical talent to have a future as a singer beyond SNSD

^ but this goes for half of Suju *cough*Siwon/Donghae/Heechul/Kibum *cough* as well

I bet if Yuri takes this offer, she'll do great in it... She has been offered for a lot of times already, and she has been turning them all down...It's the time to make another step in the industry...She has been through alot of CFs, appeared in MVs, supporting actress in a movie and supporting actress in a drama...Yuri has been studying acting too...Even with their busy schedule, she still managed to go to school..just to learn acting...I know alot will criticize her since this is her freaking first lead role, but I know, she'll be able to overcome those challenges and treat those criticisms as lessons and encouragement..

haha it's funny to read all of your comment.. what is wrong with idols being actor? in my country is commont doing that but in opposite direction..manny actor/actress trying hard to be idols so they are received manny critizied by their average/bad voice..so my point i don't mind yuri acts with yoo ah in.. maybe she can pull out this role but if she don't..i don't know the rest of history.

"..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." -- THIS!
