Details and Photos from Sunny’s Recording of ‘Koala Kid’

 

As previously reported, Girls’ Generation’s Sunny will take part as a voice actor for the upcoming animated film “Koala Kid”, and details of a recording session for the film have recently been released. Sunny was said to have been nervous before the recording of her voice for the character “Miranda”, but once the recording began she showed proficient acting skills and professionalism. Also, rather than using with her cute, aegyo-filled voice, Sunny displayed a strong and boyish voice to play her character.

In addition, the official Facebook page for “Koala Kid” also posted several photos of Sunny and SHINee’s Taemin recording their voices for the film. In the photos, Sunny and label-mate Taemin can be seen standing in front of a microphone and reading from movie’s script. A separate photo was also released with Sunny posing next to her character. All of the photos from the recording can be seen here.

Finally, the official Twitter for “Koala Kid” has revealed that the film will be released with an English dub outside of Korea, which Sunny did not record her voice for. Overseas fans of Girls’ Generation who cannot see the movie in theaters in Korea will be able to hear Sunny’s voice in the DVD release.

Yoona Discusses the Pressure of Playing Two Characters in ‘Love Rain’

Girls’ Generation’s Yoona talked about the pressure of performing double roles in the upcoming drama “Love Rain”.

During a press conference for “Love Rain” held on December 13th, Yoona started by saying, “I had the sudden urge to start acting again because I hadn’t played a role after the daily drama two years ago. At the same time, I had a chance to read the synopsis for ‘Love Rain’ and I really wanted to do this one.”

Yoona will be playing a double role in the drama, acting as “Kim Hana” in the year 2012 and “Kim Yoohee” in the 1970s. She said, “But when I read the script for the first time I had trouble deciding which character to focus on, Kim Hana or Kim Yoohee. I heard that Kim Hana is a lot like my actual personality so I didn’t worry too much. I was worried, however, about playing Kim Yoonhee from the 1970′s. I don’t know much about the 1970′s and I don’t have that much acting experience either.”

However, she continued by explaining that Director Yoon Seokho’s guidance helped her learn a lot and showed her confidence by saying, “We are currently near the end of the filming for the 1970′s, and surprisingly, all the things I worried about are going well.”

“Love Rain” is expected to air in March or April of 2012 at the earliest.
