Lee Sung Kyung talks negative criticism and modeling pay

Lee Sung Kyung appeared on tvN's 'Taxi' on January 5 and was asked about malicious comments directed at her.

"I get a lot of malicious comments, too," she started.  "There's a lot of talk about whether [my popularity and success is all thanks] to my company [YG Entertainment].  Also when I was doing a weekend drama, I got in trouble a lot for my acting.  A lot of people said it was awkward or it wasn't fun.  I was quite upset when I saw the negative comments."

About her modeling career, she said, "I also had shows where I walked as a fixed [model]. In one season, I'd walk about ten shows.  I was very busy when I was a model." When asked about the money she made from that, she said, "I would get paid for a show one year later or there were even cases where I never receive it.  However, I am grateful just for always having enough.  Just being a model was a generous blessing for me."
