Sunhwa talks about the difficulty of playing the female lead for the first time

During the press conference for 'Rosy Lovers' at MBC's Golden Mouth Hall on October 13, SECRET's Sunhwa talked about being the female lead for the first time, comparing herself to fellow acting-dols Krystal and Sooyoung, who are likewise starring in their very own dramas at the moment.

She said, "It would be a lie to say I feel no burden whatsoever in relation to my first lead role. �There was a considerable amount of studying I had to do, maybe because when I first saw the script, the amount was definitely for the female lead. �In relation to those parts, I was very worried until I went into the drama. �At the beginning, I couldn't get a sense of it, so there were more difficult parts. �However, Jang Woo gave advice during filming, and I am gradually getting the feel."

She continued, "Currently, Sooyoung and Krystal are in dramas and like myself, are active as idols who are the female leads in dramas; I really find this a relief. �I find it truly a relief that my first lead is a character who is similar to myself.

If my first lead role were a handful character, it would have been even more painful and burdensome than it is now. �Jang Mi in the drama is similar to me, and two to three years ago, I really shared a side with Jang Mi. �That's why it's a bit easier for me to approach Jang Mi. �Other idols are working diligently, but I think I could show and appeal with my acting side through a charm that is more unique to me."

Her drama airs on October 18!
