SM to launch artists’ acting careers

10.16 sm

SM Entertainment is going to spread its wings yet again, by producing a film starring 3 of its current ‘museum of stars’. Bets on BoA getting a starring role are high, considering how she talked about dabbling in acting. The Dong Bang boys may also be riding on the wave from their popularity out of drama-wannabe Vacation to garner some of their members a shot.

At the press conference in Pusan on the 8th, it was announced that the 3 as-yet-unknown artists would be taking part in a TV adaptation of Japanese manga artist, Soda Masahito’s Dance! Subaru. It’s a story about a ballerina and her tribulations before reaching her dreams of becoming a real dancer. As to why they have chosen a Japanese comic over Korea’s own manhwas is beyond me. And I’m not certain this is the right way to go, seeing how SuJu made a flop out of theirs.

But regardless of SM’s past poor performance, it would be interesting to see fans reaction once SM releases the leads of the movie. Will there be another blood shed or will the fans be supportive all the way?

    I HOPE DBSK AND SUJU ARE IN THERE.. AHHAH BESIDE I DON’T THINK BOA SHOULD PLAY THE LEAD ACTRESS DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE IS BEST OFF AS A SINGER THAN A ACTRESS… NO OFFENSE TO YOU BOA FANS BUT THAT’S MY THOUGHT… AND I THOUGHT THAT SUJU ACT PRETTY WELL IN THEIR MOVIE, IT’S JUST THAT THE PLOT WASN’T A GREAT PLOT, BESIDE MOST OF THE SUJU BOY ARE ALSO ACTOR… I HOPE TO SEE DBSK AND SUJU IN THE MOVIE AND THE ACTRESS CAN BE PLAY BY ONE OF THE GIRLS FROM CSHJ…

    I seriously think that the lead actress will go to Stephanie since I read somewhere that she used to be a ballerina and pretty good at it.

    She is a pretty good dancer, but her face….BLAH!!!!!
    She looks wayyyy older than her age.

    No SUJU ….. TVXQ plissssssss…….

    Or the late Leslie? Andy Lau is not the best actor in the world, sorry, there are many others who are more experienced, Chow Yun Fat for example.

    I dont think the SuJu movie was terrible at all. I loved it. It was nice to see something so ridiculous and light hearted for once. And as for their acting? I have DEFINATELY seen worse – and by far more famous stars.

    I would be interested in seeing this project… whether it gets critical aclaim or not.

    I think BoA should definitely start acting, I think she’s got a ton of potential to act. Plus she’s absolutely gorgeous!
