yuda Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Girl group KARA's maknae Kang Jiyoung finally decided to not make an appearance in KBS2's new drama 'Iris 2'. DSP Media stated on the 8th "Kang Jiyoung has discussed with 'Iris 2' for the condition for making appearance and since there are some different opinions about the part, recently we have decided to not make an appearance". They also added "Since this is her first challenge for Korean drama, we decided this carefully to make sure this will be the best way to support her work and herself. Though she didn't make appearance in 'Iris 2', we keep on carefully reviewing proposal for her to make appearance in dramas or movies, and she will make her challenge in acting when it's decided" Kang Jiyoung originally will be playing Agent Song Chaeran but because of this her first challenge for a drama has been postponed.

Yongery Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Jing has not confidence on the character ? or the production team made it difficult for her ? Sad but hoping to see Jing in another film production soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSwordsWoman! Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm kind of glad she didn't appear on this drama, I don't know why but I didn't feel it was right for her. However I'm really looking forward to see her in a movie or in a drama. Go Jing, FIGHTING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mae Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I was wondering how she was going to film this and go to school.... so maybe this is for the best so she can focus on school ? XD It seems like she will be getting other opportunities regardless. Thanks for the translations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesskid1 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 maybe a less serious role will be better for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalicahe Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm so sad to hear these news I has really excited to see her as an NSS agent and I actually just finished watching IRIS in order to understand the story *sigh* well guess that was all in vain. But let's hope we can see her soon in another drama Jiyoung fighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SushiRiceChopstix Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's okay, next time jing. There'll be other opportunities for you to be in a k-drama I wouldn't even mind if she started playing a small role in a sitcom or something But yeah, whatever she and the company thinks is best for her cause i wouldn't want her to be stressing out over it and thanks for the translations! i haven't seen the newsbox this quickly updated in a while. it's nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renar Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 THank you for the translation. To be honest yeah a less serious role would be better for her as this would have been her first role in a drama. But all the same I look forward to seeing Jiyoungs acting debute.

Twiddle_ Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 if i were jiyoung, i won't take the role myself too... i mean if you're busy with kara activities and this will just make your commitment to your group less, then just let it go~ it would be nice to see jiyoung in iris 2 but i don't want her to go out missing from group activities cause of this role that they don't even 110% like... i like people sticking to their pack a lot haha just my opinion~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olzu Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 If I remember correctly IRIS 1 was very popular show in Korea. I really hoped that Jiyoung would have acted in the second season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redresonance Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Really doesn't affect me that much because I don't think the character role fits Jing. I'd prefer her to act in something more natural to her charms for a start. But I definitely don't doubt that our maknae would pull it off and do a good job regardless if she was chosen. And if she really did got chosen for the role, it would have been a good accomplishment and start to her acting career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah k Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 wows. this is actually new update me for me. I think Jiyoung made a wise decision. She knows best in where she is in life. All singers don't have to try to become actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k1234k Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Really think that It'd be impossible to do so much with college at the same time. That plus I think if anything KARA will be busier this year than last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitroTeddy Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think because it coincides with her solo activities for the year too. Anyway she'll still young so they'll be alot more opportunities to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solin Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm really anticipating her debut as an actress but to be honest I'm glad she refused Iris 2 because even if Iris was a success, I'm not fan of this kind of drama and I don't think agent role really suit our maknae. I prefer her to wait for a role that will make her able to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
