Sung Yuri

Was former member of Fin.KL, Sung Yuri, a smoker?

On the October 17th episode of Entertainment Relay, she stated, "It wasn't about my start in the acting business. It was because of Fin.KL's solo projects. I had a chance to be cast in a drama so I took the job."

She debuted as an actress in the SBS drama Bad Girl back in 2002. She said, "This opportunity did not come straight to me. I don't really remember, but there was a choice of who would be cast in the drama between me and Lee Hyori. Hyori unni had a good MC role then so I took the job and started my acting career."

She had to smoke in the drama, which caused her to have a bad image. She was a singer who initially started in the acting business. Seeing their beloved idol smoke was very disappointing for the fans. She had said that if she prepared for her acting debut longer instead of rushing with it, she would have been criticized less. But because of all of the trouble back then, it seems like she is working harder now.

Sung Yuri will be starring in the upcoming movie Bunnies and Lizards with Jang Hyuk, which will be out in theaters October 22nd.

i think that’s retarded.. for companies to make these actresses/actors smoke or they get the boot just to play a role. they couldve easily given them a straw and edited some smoke coming out of it to look real..

Just for a role? If she ended up getting addicted… that’s just wrong for the PD or the script writer. If Yuri was one of the actresses out there smoking for the first time just to be in a drama/get an acting role, I doubt she’s the only one. Reading the article again, it says she WAS a smoker, so I’m glad she’s not smoking NOW =] I’m proud of her!

Why is it such a shocker to know a woman smoke but not a man?

@ 10 tsk tsk tsk its not about being a women or man, its about that smoking is a no no but i guess it was for a role…..

HEY.'s avatar

agree with #12 esp if she don’t want to do it, they shouldn’t
even give it to her Lol Oh well at least she’s not smoking NOW

she probably smoked before, it’s not too surprising either, cause a lot of high school and middle schoolers in korea smoke/has smoked before. plus, my friend’s friend went to high school with this girl and said she was a “narari” so i wouldn’t be surprised if she did

Oh Sung Yuri won’t you go away and stop appearing in the news? You can’t sing or act so go do something productive please.

At least it didn’t become a habit or else that would have been bad

the title is misleading. she’s only talking about smoking for a role….

 
audreymae's avatar

geeze, the titles to a lot of these stories are so misleading.

 
marikit's avatar

Big deal, really. This s/he’s-an-idol-s/he-must-be-a-good-role-model shizz is being taken so seriously, it’s not even healthy anymore.

 
jhee's avatar

Ridiculous… -_- The fans that previously went berserk over the situation.
It’s called “having a job.” There are things that needs to be done on a one-time basis.

Whatever. Everyone who gives a shit about this is trippin balls. She’s cute and she prances around on screen. Whether it’s the big screen or the little one… whether she’s pretending to sing (a la lip syncing article) or pretending to act (haha come on guys I like this gal but she’s no Vanessa Redgrave) is all good with me… as long as she’s there. wink

 
no avatar

she’s a pro…it just for the job only..fans should stop make things big…

 
Linnie Love's avatar

It’s just a role. I wish people would get over it.
Honestly, people act like stars have to do everything special. No one would report on an average person smoking. They’d simply look away like nothing happened.

 
baubrey1001's avatar

ok….drama over smoking.

 
no avatar

Why is this even news. Her acting was so fake. Her smoking was very unnatural and she didnt even inhale!

 
no avatar

it isn’t as bad as it seems. it shouldn’t be a big deal.. tho she is a singer and all…. well as long as she doesn’t get addicted to it then it is fine i guess….

Smoking is not a bad thing…if she smokes that her biz not everyone elses….
