Though Jiyoung is no longer a member of KARA, she has been keeping herself busy as an actress in Japan!
On March 19, Jiyoung interviewed with Japan's Oricon Style and discussed her role as a sexy school teacher in the upcoming Japanese movie 'Assassination Classroom'. The idol-turned-actress had to wear a blonde wig and miniskirts to take on a sexy look for her role. She said, "To be honest, I'm still not good at acting sexy. However, I did a lot of research. I slightly lowered my stance and my voice. It's a different feel than my usual self."
She also talked about the transition from an idol to an actress, "Singers work a lot during the night, but actors wake up at 5am, so it's hard. I set my alarm for every two minutes. I haven't been late yet, and I'm slowly getting used to it. I don't feel much of a difference between Korea and Japan. I took on the role of a teacher, and it brought me back to my times as a middle school student." She added she wanted "to try a variety of roles in movies. I want to play a sophisticated woman or be in an action film."
Jiyoung joined the company Sweet Power last August and has started her activities as an actress. Are you looking forward to seeing her in 'Assassination Classroom'?
