Singer turned actress Bae Seul Gi recently made a fresh start with MBC's 'The Greatest Love'. Although she had a minor role as her character didn't have many scenes, she was one of the pivotal figures in finding out the reason behind the disbandment of the drama's fictional girl group. Bae Seul Gi was a popular singer (The Red) and variety star a couple years ago and was known for her comedic yet stylish retro dances. Unfortunately, fans couldn't see much of her in the spotlight as she went on an involuntary hiatus and focused on musicals. 'The Greatest Love' marked her first return to the small screen. In her interview with Sports Chosun, she revealed, "My first acting attempt wasn't hard, but I was under a lot of pressure. I knew that if I messed up the few lines I had, it could be a fatal scratch to the drama overall." When asked about her hiatus, she replied, "There wasn't any discord, but there were some things that were tiring while promoting as a singer. When things got bad, I thought of running away from the industry, which happened to fit with my role as 'Han Mina'." She continued, "I didn't think I'd have to conclude my promotions so early. I was so apologetic to my fans that I couldn't even write a message for them on our fancafe. All I said was, 'I'll return with a better image soon.' I said that several times, but in the end, all I could do was apologize. Later, I didn't feel that I had the right to even utter an apology..." Bae Seul Gi paused to wipe the tears in her eyes before adding, "I never cry in front of my fans. They call me 'boss', and sometimes they'll throw surprise events to try and move me to tears. During my musical, I didn't cry in front of my fans and cried on my own where they couldn't see me. I've been with them for six years, and they're all people that I must be thankful for for the rest of my life." When asked about her future plans, she replied, "I haven't decided on just pursuing acting alone. You only live once so I want to try a variety of other things. As for now, I want to focus on acting. As I'm still lacking, I want to work really hard at it. I consider that the only way I can pay back my fans." Source + Photos: Sports Chosun via Nate
