Suh In-young wants a friend

seoinyoung_20090526

Not sure if I would want to be her lackey friend.

Following Suh In-young’s vacation in the US, the high maintenance former, “We Got Married” star is ready to get back into the television spotlight with her own reality program, “Suh In-young’s Brand New Friend.”

The Mnet channel show started airing on May 14th, where twelve participants out of approximately 5,000 applicants have been chosen to undergo special missions in pursuit of the pointy nosed songstress’s friendship and each week the least brown-nosing contestant gets eliminated.

Having previously terrorized the prestigious KAIST campus in “Suh In-young in KAIST,” In-young is smart enough to realize that:

some people must have applied because they want to be a celebrity themselves, and many of them must have had other intentions, rather than purely wanting to be my friend. Many people try to befriend you based on your background, rather than taking you as you are. That’s especially true among celebrities. In the show, I will try to find someone who can really understand and like me.

And that might be difficult.

The premise is an obvious mirror of MTV’s “Paris Hilton: My New BFF,” as many netizens have pointed out, but In-young has acknowledged that “the show had many similarities with Hilton’s show, but I’m different from Paris Hilton because the show is about how I deal with people and make friends, there must be a difference that only I can create.”

Having been trademarked for her “frankness,” In-young is sure to be putting her potential “friends” through the ringer, which makes for entertaining television.

Good luck finding a real friend.

  14. 19 yuri May 27, 2009 at 10:59 pm

    OH MY GOD !! THATS JUST LIKE PARIS HILTON BBFRIEND

  15. 20 Swineflu May 28, 2009 at 2:10 am

    Is she supposed to be the Korean Paris Hilton or something? She needs a bunch of girls and some queers now. Oh wait…. this is Korea….

  16. 21 kaiz May 28, 2009 at 5:01 am

    Obviously she WANTS to be the next Paris Hilton! LOL!
    Good luck!

  17. 22 Carrie May 28, 2009 at 5:03 am

    It’s going to be hard finding a BFF uglier than Seo Inyoung because I doubt she’ll choose anyone pretty to stand next to her!

  18. 23 Monica May 28, 2009 at 5:12 am

    I seriously respect Seo in young. i think shes one of the most down to earth korean celebs..
    her shows are good too, plus she also has amazing vocals but she doesnt show much confidence at it..
    she is totally different from paris…dont care if she has plastic surgery or what not, its her prob. shes a good entertainer and pretty funny.

  19. 24 loversINx-man May 28, 2009 at 5:16 am

    ..sounds petty

  20. 25 tugishtakish May 28, 2009 at 5:45 am

    again, very much like that of paris hilton’s show.
    gah~

  21. 26 cutezi May 28, 2009 at 7:00 am

    Can she be any more desperate?!

  22. 27 blah May 28, 2009 at 7:46 am

    she reminds me of paris hilton.. not her looks but just how she is.

  23. 28 LoLo May 28, 2009 at 8:58 am

    Paris Hilton: My New BFF = Suh In-Youngs Brand New Friend

  24. 29 cinderella May 28, 2009 at 9:05 am

    Reminds me of Paris Hilton’s own reality show.

  25. 30 Jane. May 28, 2009 at 10:12 am

    I thought Paris Hiltons New BFF was stupid too but I found myself watching it..lol. I think this will be entertaining.

  26. 31 anonymous May 28, 2009 at 2:01 pm

    it’s like paris hilton’s show -_-

  27. 32 LaLaLand May 28, 2009 at 3:54 pm

    Umm – Who the heck is this Old Transvestite? HAHAAHHA – is she/he the oldest transvestite to appear on K-entertainment? HAHHAHA

  28. 33 miira-chaan May 28, 2009 at 5:17 pm

    hmm.“
    sounds like paris hilton’s own show on MTV..
    hahaa..

  29. 34 helena09 May 28, 2009 at 6:52 pm

    I think only Crown J can stand her…

  30. 36 - May 29, 2009 at 5:18 am

    B..chy broad !!!

  31. 37 shingo May 29, 2009 at 5:39 am

    I’ll watch it…I do think she won’t be as ridiculous as Paris Hilton. And if you’ve seen her in past subbed youtube clips (before We Got Married), she really isn’t a b*tchy broad…I think she just created this fitting character and it has evolved. At least it’s not some sweet yet boring celeb doing the show. I agree with Monica that In-Young also has genuine vocal skills…but it’s rarely showcased.

  32. 38 Christina May 29, 2009 at 6:26 am

    Crown J should just sign up. I would laugh. A! <3

  33. 39 e1leen0nt0fu May 29, 2009 at 8:17 am

    I remember a couple of years ago Yoon Eunhye and Seo Inyoung used to be like best friends, and on a program, Inyoung admitted that YEH was like the only person she was really close with and made it sound like she was her only friend. Back then though, Inyoung had a different persona, she was the same as any sweet female celeb. Of course, her WGM was a self created and promoted thing, but wonder what happened to them. Probably still in contact with each other, but YEH is so busy and high profile now, and SIY is doing different things.

  34. 40 ss501lover4life June 3, 2009 at 5:43 am

    wow. i love her style…… SOOOOO OFF TOPIC!!!

  35. 41 joannabanana14 June 5, 2009 at 3:36 pm

    wow. talk about a repeat of Paris Hilton’s New BFF show.
    no offense. but both just sound lame to start with…

  36. 42 Angel June 16, 2009 at 3:56 am

    haters man haters. she must be doing something right to have you guys talking about her haha. id love to be her friend she seems very fun and down to earth.
