SNSD Yoona says, " I regret being stereotyped"

[Liddo Annie]

Yoona has expressed her ideas about strenghts and weaknesses about her being singer and actress in Star News's latest interview with her.

"It saddens me to be seen as though there are inherent weaknesses in being singer and actress," she said.

"The fact is, I get more attention for being a singer and an actress, yet I regret being underestimated by the stereotypes surrounding it.

"I only try my hardest. If I only did acting, perhaps I would've gotten different reviews. I want to strive to be acknowledged as an actress," she said.

"So Nyeo is literally the first person pronoun which means unmarried woman humbly referring to themselves. If I don't get married, I will be active being part of SNSD," she said, smiling.

Yoona, who had received training in acting as a trainee for two years, gets positive reviews from her first major role in "You're are my destiny"

A lot of singers or actors do both things these days especially in Asian countries.

I wish she was more clear in the stereotype description for this interview.

A lot of singers are actors. They sing one song, they're getting called every day to play in a movie or a t.v. show.

It's the generic stereo type that most people apply

"if they do one thing they should stick to that one thing they are crap in everything else and only good at that one thing"

eg actors can't sing and singers can't act, in possibly 50% or more cases this is very true, but there is a % where the person is talented enough to be able to do both very easily,

Heh she shouldn't be saying anything.

IMO, Hong Kong celebrities should be saying something like that
1/2 of the new comers were either a Miss Hong Kong/ Mr. Hong Kong or is a singer.
