Yuri Thanks Ha Jung Woo for His Support
Leaving the ‘girl’ in Girls’ Generation (SNSD) behind, Yuri turned into a beautiful and elegant lady in the recent edition of Harper’s Bazaar.
The fashion magazine introduced Yuri in a set of black and white photos of the singer-turned-actress wearing a simple one shoulder-bearing party dress. Her expressions oozed out the paradox of charisma, sexiness and innocence, and the singer appeared more mature than ever.
In the interview held by Harper’s Bazaar, Yuri talked a bit about her first acting experience in SBS’ Fashion King, which closed its curtains a while back.
“It was a little burdensome since there were expectations made based on the SNSD title. It is hard to put everything down, but it’s the right thing to do,” she said, “I first tried to analyze the character of Choi Anna, but later just tried to find a similarity between us.”
On working with other talented actors, she said, “When I reached out to the other actors first, they, in return, gave me a lot of help.”
She especially wanted to take a moment to thank actor Ha Jung Woo.
“Ha Jung Woo, who is my university senior, told me, ‘Take in everything as an experience where you learn as you have fun.’ Now that the drama is over, I completely understand what that means.”

Dongbu Group, a conglomerate, will be releasing robots that look like and dance like K-pop idols, such as Girls’ Generation and Super Junior, via one of their divisions, Dongbu Robots.
On June 25th, Dongbu Robots, Intelligent Recreational (IR) Robots, and Ocean Bridge E&T came together for a project titled ‘K-pop Star Robots’. Through this project, the collaborating companies are scheduled to launch a series of dancing K-pop robots by the end of this year.
‘K-pop Star Robots’ is the next project Dongbu Robots will be working on after the April release of their intelligent and service robot series, ‘Hovis Eco’. The company plans on producing this new line of robots with upgraded functions that allow them to accurately reenact the dance movements of K-pop idols.
The robots will be equipped with a high-power motor, which will enable them to bend at 20 of their joints, from their necks, their waists, their thighs, to their hips, to ensure flexible and free movement. In addition, the robots will also be made to look like the idol group members themselves!

Yuri talks about acting in ‘Harper’s Bazaar’
Girls’ Generation Yuri, who has recently made her acting debut via ‘Fashion King’, has produced a somber yet sensual look for a ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ photo shoot. Cut by cut, Yuri shows off some intense yet charismatic expressions and poses.
In addition to posing for the pictorial, Yuri sat down with ‘Harpers Bazaar’ for an interview concerning her acting career.
On her first acting experience with ‘Fashion King’, she shared, “Because Girls’ Generation’s [already established] name raised people’s expectations, I felt very burdened.“ As for the method she chose to approach her first role as Choi Anna, she explained, “Although I [simply] analyzed Choi Anna at first, later on I put in effort to find a common point I shared with her and sympathized with her.”
The Girls’ Generation member also affectionately expressed that, as this was her first time working as an actress, she received a lot of advice and assistance from her actor sunbaes while working on ‘Fashion King’. ”Because I approached my actor colleagues first [for help], they were all the more passionate to assist me. Also an upperclassman at school, Ha Jung Woo oppa, said to me, ‘Right now, have fun with and learn from this opportunity.’ He gave me this piece of advice, and I was able to understand what he meant after I finished working [on 'Fashion King'].”
As for her hopes for the future, Yuri added, “I want to become a genuine and pure person who has no false images built up around her. I think that if I can become that kind of a person, I will naturally become a genuine and pure actress as well.” To specify her future ambitions concerning her acting, she added, “Next time, I would also like it if I could act as a character who is always bright, always smiling, has aegyo, and is loved by everyone.”
