I used to feel this way too, but more and more I've realized....she knows what she is doing. She would be more popular, but she would also get more hate and useless attention. For a member that's never had a big/serious solo project like acting or an album, doesn't do OSTs, doesn't appear much in photo shoots, or at all in variety shows, it's amazing she still has the relevancy she does. She's managed to gradually change her image from awkward, naive virgin Maknae to a full fledged, charming woman - all without a scandal. To me this is amazing and only possible as a result of her hard work, careful pace, and keeping under the radar. If you look at most top Korean actors, something the public really values in them is mystery and letting their work speak for itself. Seohyun said in an interview recently that people not knowing much about her personality as an idol is an advantage to her now because she can make more of an impact through characters. It made me understand that all these years, she has been so patient about spotlight because she used the time to observe and grow. The first phase of career actually starts NOW. With the Chinese movie, she is getting her foot in with a fun and different role you won't see most idol actresses try. It gives her some initial exposure to the Chinese market and one the biggest SM fandoms - Exo-L. And since it's not for the Korean market, she can make her mistakes without too much backlash. With the drama, she is taking another great character that is IDEAL for her. An independent, artistic, mysterious princess. This will be another high-exposure project, already breaking records in investment and overseas circulation. But more importantly, it is a huge ensemble drama with a lot of characters and controversial castings. For Seohyun it is another way to offset attention, especially if she doesn't perform well. But if she does well in a sageuk, or has chemistry with her partner (I think she already does), there's no better praise. Because she's popular enough, but not overwhelmingly popular, beautiful but not a "nation's visual", she has the most options out of all SNSD members to try different things. I'm really excited to see what she will pick next.

I saw a tweets from Seomates saying thank god she declined whatever it is so I am thinking it was probably a not very good project, or not right for her at this time. I trust Seohyun's judgement so if she turned something down personally, then it means she is being careful about her projects and on the lookout for better work. Not many idols have that luxury so I wonder what it means as far as where she stands decision-making wise. Anyway I hope after Moon Lovers she can pick up another acting project. It might sound strange but after her appearance at Calvin Klein yesterday, I feel less apprehensive about her acting because she turned just walking up to a shop into a SHOW. I don't expect she will be perfect as an actress, but I hope at least she won't be outright terrible. Though it's still her first real project after all, and still a minor role. Many people don't get very good until after numerous projects. Some idols are leads in their 3rd, 4th, 5th dramas and still bad.

Changmin was known to be super awkward with girls. Actresses, female singers, even the models in his MV's...he was always boyish and shy. Both were like that until very recently, not good with the opposite sex. We all saw Seohyun's most comfortable with him out of guys, but he's also strangely comfortable with her. He had no problem getting up close to Seohyun in this photoshoot though, like he's just drawn to her. Especially when throughout Yunho looked way more awkward in comparison. His gaze. He always naturally positions himself behind her shoulders, almost possessively. His line of sight towards her in this photo, is really beautiful. If you watch the behind-the-scenes video, they took this shot a million other ways first and then he suddenly turned his head and they kept this last shot lol. Not just this photoshoot, but you could see their obvious chemistry EVERYWHERE on the JBJ talkshow, and in other instances. More chemistry Who keeps looking at a "little sister" like that? Seohyun haha
-
JMO doesn't use models in print advertisements as far as I know. Just products. So it's probably an ongoing tie-in collaboration of her endorsing the products in magazines like she did with Tommy Hilfiger, pictorials every few months and such. It might be one-time thing but it wouldn't make sense considering they're still pushing about her on IG. Either way it's nothing to stress over, we got what we wanted out of it which is pretty pictures and gifs haha. Pantene is around the corner too.

I don't know much about singing/vocals first off. Just have a question. It's clear Seohyun shows much better technique and power in musicals than singing pop music (though she's definitely improved), and sometimes the gap confuses me. If you're trained to improve your singing, wouldn't you try to showcase your best technique at all times? When she slips into old singing habits even though she can do better, does that mean she's not a skilled vocalist or just not trying on purpose? "Saving" her voice for musicals, I guess? Is that a thing. She's been getting vocal lessons for the last few years and in a recent interview she said she tries not to talk at all the day before a musical so she can keep her throat in good condition. I guess my question is is why isn't she showing the same leap in skill while singing SNSD songs? Is her healthy improvement in musicals only possible because she holds herself back for SNSD and to a lesser extent TTS? Because she's not exerting herself (like Tiffany for example)? And does she still have more potential to improve or is there a cap when it comes to capability? I always get the feeling as an idol she doesn't let herself sing to her max potential because control and get-the-job-done efficiency takes precedence. I was surprised she can playfully hit Taeyeon's high note from Baby Steps (I don't know how skillfully but it sounds impressive to my nugu ear at least). [media]https://vine.co/v/iru6vHjhi6T[/media]

Even one comment every day on her IG/Twitter/Weibo from from 5-10 fans means she'll definitely see. It doesn't have to be elaborate. "Seohyun, hope to see your solo album" "Wishing for a solo album", etc. Same with movies, dramas, anything else you're interested in. And remember to leave support/"fighting!" for what she is presently working on. Let's try be regular about this! Maybe since we're always in this thread, we can start off posts with --> (SNS COMMENT: CHECK). That way it'll remind us and others in the thread to communicate with her daily. This is the bare minimum of we can and should do as fans to show our support.

Reminder - Use Seohyun's SNS accounts (instagram, twitter, weibo) to convey to her you would like to see a solo. She is more than likely working on one either way, but at least this will help her see fans are excited and want to hear talk about it or at least hint something. She does read comments so it's important to use the platforms we have to communicate with her and appreciate her often!

Too much personal conversation in this thread can make it difficult to backtrack Seohyun news and topics, and might turn off new guests.

Another trans These comments make me so happy. I knew once Seohyun proved her singing in musicals netizens would start asking for her solo themselves. I know all K-Seomates want it but they've been very very careful about saying anything. Too careful I think, but I guess they see it as the most peaceful route to not make noise about anything until it happens. Being in the SONE fandom is 24/7 balancing act. Once she starts gaining visibility through acting projects it's inevitable it'll be brought up more. I am excited.

I think Sooyoung subtly revealed Seohyun is dating right now hahaha. The marriage comment was so random and Seohyun reacted funnily to it. Since you guys were already on the topic of what kind of guy you want for her....my only wish is he's TALL! We already know Seohyun is sensitive about her height and notices height difference so I hope it's someone she can even comfortably wear heels with and still be shorter. A tall, classy man would be the best visual. Actually I don't mind if she is with someone older or younger, as long as they have good chemistry and the same maturity level. Personally I think she'd be best with someone older, but a Noona dynamic would also be an interesting power shift since Seohyun is always the youngest. She's naturally mature and nurturing so I don't think it would be strange actually. She can seem younger and cute too. But I don't know if she would be attracted to a younger guy hahaha. She did say once she's more openminded now about age. About her musicals, I wonder if you guys saw that nb article about the actor who musical fans kicked out the Mozart musical? They are THAT intense. And in the netizen comments I saw things like "musical fans are where the money are" "musical fans are the harshest about protecting their pastime" "musical fans don't just pay hundreds to see people they don't want to see". Anyway that made me REALLY proud of Seohyun to be winning over that fandom. They'll stay with her forever if she continues to do well. Seeing sunbaes and critics talk about her, something that makes me really proud is they never sugarcoat her abilities. A lot of them said she was awkward or lacking at first, but because she absorbs and welcomes criticism with a healthy attitude, she was able to learn so much from her seniors and from people who nitpicked at her. Few people have that kind of strength of heart and mind not to get hurt. And few people openly talk about not being good enough. I love that Seohyun is so self aware and honest. She's not afraid of anyone and she really takes in everything beautifully and gets better. Kim Publae said once she's like a sponge. She just needs to be around generous and talented people who challenge her.

Another great interview. She tends to repeat a lot of themes in her musical interview but there's always fresh thoughts and information at the same time. I really love how she emphasized having to plead with the company (waiting almost a decade for deserved individual work is ridiculous), how different the stage is between idol and theatre (she can be more free not having to look at an audience), and how she related to her family. I also love that she emphasized herself as very stubborn and someone with independent thought. I think in the future this will be important. Even now most people have no idea that this is Seohyun's true personality, even among fans. Like she said, she has so many sides. Girl is a puzzle. Showing the depths of her true self over the years might have hurt her, you know people need a one dimensional image of a celebrity. I feel she only presented one strict self to the public for a long as a way guard herself and evolve quietly under the radar. Now is a very exciting time for Seohyun. I'm so excited for her to do more work and more interviews. Her interviews are the best.

Since other members are picking up more acting projects in China later in this year I think it's fair to assume Seohyun might have something else lined up after Moon Lovers. After all, she'll by done by September and her parts aren't the main parts anyway. I really really really hope it's another acting job. Next year would be more prime for her solo and there's no point in a TTS comeback before that when TaeNy are both getting solos.....it will just make TTS too uncomfortable to enjoy. She already feels like a third wheel as it is. I would rather TTS make a comeback or do a concert after Seohyun also releases a solo album so it's even. Personally I want to see Seohyun do more movies! Dramas are too stressful (both for her to film and fans to follow for months) and there's little payoff unless it's a super hit. With movies she can explore more interesting scripts and characters, connect with directors and writers, work with more senior actors, attend better events, have more time to film and prepare, and have a better chance at getting recognized for her acting skill. To me that is more important. I would rather Seohyun be known for good work, challenging herself and maturing more than popularity. Popularity will come on its own if her work speaks for itself, and too much popularity can actually be a downside (more antis, more comparisons, more media play, more limited roles....). If she can improve and prove her talent, I think Seohyun is someone in the future who will have the most versatility as an actress. Her visuals can be anything from common every-girl to queen, innocent to badass, and everything in between. More than just pretty, isn't that what an ideal actress should be?

So cute She always keeps her eyes on Changmin even when the person talking is across the table. You'll never see Seohyun be this blatant with anyone else. Mimicking body language

1. Shim Jaewon's has nicknames for two people - Seohyun (Seojubongu) and Changmin (Shim Chwang Chwangie). Seohyun said he is the closest oppa in her life (to where she can even call him Unnie) and Jaewon said Changmin is the closest friend in his life. So by default ChangSeo share a very precious person. 2. Seohyun said in DC Gallery questionnaire recently that she likes drinking beer best! Which is very surprising because she is not known to be a big drinker. Changmin is known to be an avid beer enthusiast and collector. Yunho bought him a collection of rare and vintage bottles for his birthday. Changmin even visited the famous beer museums on his European tour with Jaewon. 3. Speaking of Europe, Jaewon and Changmin visited many places like West End (famous for musicals) and Switzerland. We already know Seohyun's love for musicals. She also once mentioned Switzerland specifically as the most beautiful place she visited, and where she wrote her love song "Only U". Today Jaewon posted this pic of him and Changmin saying Switzerland is a special place for them 4. How Changmin describes his ideal Christmas: If you read the lyrics Seohyun wrote to 'Dear Santa', she basically describes the exact same scene. 5. Seohyun's all time favorite musical is Wicked, and the character she wants to play most in the world is Glinda. Changmin as Glinda (from School Oz), dancing to Twinkle....haha

Seohyun already confirmed Pantene and JMO herself so what more confirmation are you waiting for....? Anyway I like your list. Here's mine: - I hope Seohyun shows a lot of improvement and versatility in her acting parts this year, even if they are small. It doesn't matter to me if she gets more popular or not, I just want her to grow and her talent to be acknowledged. - I hope Seohyun's next role is either in a Korean movie with a respected cast and director, or a high-quality cable drama like Signal or Misaeng. The better the quality of her projects the better the quality of her improvement. - I hope Seohyun's next musical is something grand like Phantom of the Opera or Chicago. More broadway musicals. I hope she continues to receive acclaim and recognition for her hard work. - I hope Seohyun gets a solo album. She has a lot of passion and drive for music and she is talented. I want to hear her voice, get closer to her through her lyrics and compositions, and see her unleash her full potential as a performer. - I hope Seohyun can guest again for Running Man, especially since viewers want it too. She left a great impression in only a short appearance. - I hope Seohyun can do a lot of photoshoots and interviews.

She is already going to be promoting John Masters so it's unlikely she would be working with another hair brand, but then all the people she's spotted with and followed recently trace back to Pantene and Proctor Gamble..... Confusing Maybe it's a magazine feature or special project. She seems to enjoy teasing us like this;

I agree with you 100% What I love about Seohyun's Korean fans is how trusting and accepting they are of her, the real fans never try to tell her what to do and let her make her own mistakes and choices. She in turn repays them with good work and surprises. There was once a fan account of GGU3 when they went to Gone With the Wind for food support and gave Seohyun a selfie stick, which she was using incorrectly so cutely, but GGU3 didn't have the heart to tell her even though it's something so simple hahahaha. So they just watched and let her do it her weird way. Or on Radio Star, every time she goes on, the MC's couldn't be aggressive with her even though they have no mercy on other guests because they said they just feel she is...meant to be respected. She said herself she is someone who needs to "shepherd her life through her own judgements". For me Seohyun has that kind of power. Someone who has a strong personal aura that others can't meddle in. Nobody is perfect but I know her intentions and reasoning are always from a sincere place. There will always be entitled fans but I'm happy as the years have past Seohyun has more people on her side that understand her and love her for who she is and believe in her growth. A few years ago all she had with i-fans were shippers and SONE who would box her or put her down by calling her a robot, monk, boring bookworm, child....ugh. Good thing is she never let it get to her or lashed back, but listened to what was worth listening to and worked on herself so her image would naturally change. In the long run results and character speak for themselves, and her body of work and people who know her will speak for her.
