Explanation About Army Changes:

1. Korean army no longer will have “celebrity soldiers” for PR services. Those who enlist from now on as active-service will all be normal soldiers.

2. Ones that are “Celebrity Soldiers” right now will all be transferred to different divisions.

3. Park Jungsu (Leeteuk) is not included in the 8 soldiers that will be punished for illegal usages of phones/going outside their assigned areas/etc. He (Jungsu) and other soldiers who will not be punished, will be transferred to different divisions on August 1st.

4. Celebrity Soldiers are not same as Public Service soldiers. The change will not affect Heechul/ Jongwoon(Yesung). Public soldiers are selected before enlistment, through health examinations. If they aren’t fit to serve in active- service, they are sent to public service. Celebrity Soldiers are soldiers that enlisted as active- service, and have done audition to be selected (or in rare cases, chosen by the army personnel)

[NEWS] 130510 Title ~ ‘Ugly Alert’, Kang Sora “I’m happy with the career woman role”

Kang Sora shared her thoughts on the upcoming first broadcast of ‘Ugly Alert’.

On 9th May, Kang Sora stated that she was totally hooked with the SBS new daily drama ‘Ugly Alert’ (script written by Jung Ji Woo, directed by Shin Yoon Seop).

Na Do Hee, the character she plays in the drama is a head of planning team of a clothing company and even though she is somewhat a person who born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she is not that kind of woman who would just make use of her rich upbringing.

For someone who believes that one’s power can only be achieved by one’s true self, she has been working like a workaholic more than anyone else and had a quick promotion. And to prove her worth to the company, she decided to own a store at Dongdaemun separately. The reason is because the company is her grandfather’s business in the first place and it has grown into present SY Apparel.

She is a character full of ambition in the way she chose to walk the same self-made path that her grandfather had taken to bring up the company into a global brand.

“I have always been yearning for a great woman role. Since I like a character of someone who leads and is independent rather than the role of a woman who expects and relies on others to make it in life, I always talk about wanting to do career woman role every time I have interview session. So I’m really happy to get to play for the greatest role of all the career woman role there is,” said Kang Sora about her character.

Also “Every character made by the scriptwriter Jung Ji Woo has twofoldness/ambivalence element to it. If the character has a bright side, there will also be a dark side to it. Each of the different side which has been kept hidden deeply inside the character makes it’s charm comes alive. And it’s a character of a rich person (laughs), it’s my first time to play such role, and moreover I only got to play the roles of someone who had one-sided love before but this time I’m the one who receive love so I like it.” said Kang Sora showing her immense liking to the character itself.

According to the production official of ‘Ugly Alert’, “Even though Kang Sora is a young actress, through her steady acting ability, she can make the character’s appeal comes alive with her very best effort. It looks like that she’s having fun while acting,” stated the official as a favorable review about Kang Sora’s acting attitude.

Kang Sora’s charm will shine the SBS new daily drama ‘Ugly Alert’ which it’s first broadcast will be on Monday, 20th May at 7.20pm.

In addition, it’s a heartwarming family drama that highlights although ones are not blood-related, ones will try to understand and gradually embrace each other’s wound within the family bonding. He also stated that the scriptwriter and director’s ambitious plan is to concentrate on leaving out the extreme revenge and adultery plot that is typical code theme for ‘makjang’ drama, hoping that it will be offering another different dimension of a fun and deeply moving story.

‘Ugly Alert’ a human family drama with a different class and flair, will meet the viewers in May following after drama ‘The Birth of a Family’.
