Kpop Behind | All the Stories Behind Kpop Stars

It's not unusual these days for k-pop idols to sing and act at the same time. Many of them have debuted as actors or actresses and appeared in dramas. And some of them even achieved bigger success as actors than as singers. Lim Siwan of ZE:A and Lee Joon of MBLAQ are good examples. Basically, there are two reasons why k-pop idols begin their acting career. First, to display their versatile talents. Every idol who has versatile talent hopes to be active in various fields. Second, to extend their career as entertainers. They can't be active as idol singers for all of their lives, and idols who are unsure about their future determine to find a new route. Seolhyun and Hyeri are also two of k-pop idols who sing and act at the same time. The two pretty idol stars have appeared in some dramas, and they've been active as CF models too. They're loved by many people, and no doubt, they are two of the most popular k-pop female idols among male fans. However, it doesn...

There are many beautiful Korean female celebrities, but it's true that many of them got plastic surgeries. And some of their faces look so unnatural and emotionless, which draw unwelcome attention from the public. But, unlike the artificial plastic beauties, Seolhyun succeeded in catching eyes of people by showing off her innocent and natural appearance. After appearing in a commercial for SK Telecom, AOA's Seolhyun became the hottest female idol star in Korea. She's been active as a model for various brands, while she was also appointed as PR ambassador for Korea's general selection. She's now one of the highest-paid female kpop idols. Yeah, it seems like nothing can stop her. The notable thing about Seolhyun’s real personality is that she is very mild and meek. The natural beauty behaves in natural ways as if she is an ordinary young girl, and this is why she finds favor in everyone's sight. She is a little bit shy, and she usually says softly and quietl...

AOA's Seolhyun is in the center of controversy. The female idol star has unfollowed a few famous Korean stars such as Yoo Ahin, Yoo Byungjae and IU on SNS and is now raising questions about why she did such a thing. What is common among the 3 stars who were unfollowed by Seolhyun is that all the them have been hated by Korean feminists. Yoo Ahin has had a heated discussion with a feminist on SNS, and Yoo Byungjae has satirized feminists in his comedy show. And IU, who is a great musician, once was embroiled in controversy due to her Lolita-like concept. So, in this situation, Seolhyun is receiving great support from feminists (even though it seems other people think differently and it's still uncertain why she unfollowed them), while Yoo Ahin, Yoo Byungjae and IU are being attacked by feminists. Especially, IU, who has recently announced that she  decided to accuse all the online haters, is suffering concentrated fire. Well, Korea is part of the Confucian culture...

Seolhyun's new movie "Memoir of a Murderer" was released on September 6. The film is about a retired murderer who got Alzheimer's, while famous Korean actors Seol Kyungkoo, Kim Namgil, and Oh Dalsoo starred in the film with Seolhyun. The female idol star played a murderer's daughter who dedicates herself to her father. It's the second time for Seolhyun to appear in a movie, and frankly speaking, people in the Korean film industry didn't expect much of her. They thought Seolhyun is just a famous idol who has a pretty face, and it seemed it's impossible for her to stand out in the movie because Seol Kyungkoo and Kim Namgil are such great actors who always show outstanding acting performance. However, yeah, Seolhyun did really great in the movie, and she certainly succeeded in standing out in the movie. She showed stable acting performance, expressing delicate emotions of her character. She's now receiving rave reviews from Korean mov...

On June 23, JYP Entertainment denied the report that Suzy will appear in movie "Rampant", stating "She refused the offer due to her busy schedule". Yeah, she is a super star who has to manage a series of tight schedules, but that's not the only reason why she refused to appear in "Rampant". Here's a story behind it. At first, the production crew of "Rampant" tried to cast AOA's Seolhyun as the lead female role. "Rampant" is a historical film, starring famous actor Hyun Bin. Seolhyun had a meeting with the director of "Rampant" and it seemed everything was going ahead smoothly. Seolhyun responded positively to the proposal of "Rampant", and that's why the production crew of "Rampant" didn't even try to cast another actress. They believed that Seolhyun will appear in the movie and do a good job. However, Seolhyun suddenly began to contact with the production crew of another his...

AOA's Seolhyun is in trouble because of FNC. Seolhyun has chosen her new movie. According to the film officials, the female idol star will appear in "Ansi Castle". The historical film features the story of a battle between Goguryeo and Tang Dynasty. Famous actor Cho Insung will take the leading role, while Seolhyun will play his sister. By the way, the problem is that Seolhyun was originally thinking about appearing in another movie "Rampant". Before deciding to appear in "Ansi Castle", Seolhyun had a meeting with the director of "Rampant" and it seemed everything was going ahead smoothly. Seolhyun responded positively to the proposal of "Rampant", and that's why the production crew of "Rampant" didn't even try to cast another actress. They believed that Seolhyun will appear in the movie and do a good job. "Rampant" is also a historical film, starring famous actor Hyun Bin. However, Seolhyun sudd...
