Whether Singer Lee Hyori will challenge acting again is stirring up rumors in the movie industry. It has been four years since Hyori acted in the 2005 TV series, “Three Leaf Clover,” as Kang Jina. On the 23rd, news surfaced that the movie “Bling Bling” whose script is already done, has unofficially casted Hyori. “Bling Bling,” a cheery and light comedy, is based on the book, “Apgujeong Diary.” The plot centers around three women. While they spend their last Christmas together as a group, they bet on who brings the most handsome boyfriend to their final gathering, which initiates a series of love stories. The producers of “Bling Bling” said, “There are many people under consideration and plans aren’t confirmed as of now.” However, they seem confident in casting Hyori for the role. Although Hyori has been criticized before, most of the criticism stemmed from the character written by the script that Hyori played on the series. Officials from the movie industry stated, “At the time, Hyori wanted to portray a girl who remains happy and cheerful despite bad times. In the end, what failed was the choice of the role,” and “There’s a very good chance that Hyori may transition into an actress through the straightforward and honest role in ‘Bling Bling’ which matches her personality very well.” While being interviewed for a magazine, Hyori said, “I don’t want to be casted simply for my popularity or influence. It has to be a role I’m suitable for. If such a role exists, I want to try acting again.” However, worries arise due to the untimeliness of this role. Sources said, “We haven’t received any plans about this role,” and “Her album is coming out soon, so filming and promoting might be too exhausting.” “Bling Bling” will be directed by Bae Yong Joon’s ex-girlfriend, Lee Sa Gang. She graduated from Chung-Ang University as a film major and has directed music videos for Fly to the Sky, 2AM and other idols. In addition, she received an award for her first short film from The London Film School and the 2004 Judges’ Award for short film. Translation: forgotten620 | hyoleesubs.wordpress.com
