Photos Girls’ Generations’ Yuri taken during the filming of SBS’s new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Fashion King’ was released on February 20th.

With the photos, the producers of the drama expressed their thoughts on Yuri’s acting, saying, “As we await the airing of the first episode on March 12th, the on-location filming in New York is in full swing. While filming her scenes, Kwon Yuri was able to express and her portray her character with depth, to the joy of the production crew.”

Producer Lee Myung Woo also complimented Yuri by saying, “Initially, I was a little worried because compared to the other actors, Yuri had the least acting experience. But after the cast list was finalized, I had a few meetings with Yuri just to talk about her character and about acting in general, and also gave her bit of advice. At the end I gave her a tape that covered everything we had talked about. I could sense that she had studied that tape a lot because her efforts showed through her acting while filming.”

Yuri also shared her experience, “During my Girls’ Generation Asia Tour activities, I didn’t want to lose touch in my acting so I just kept watching the video that Producer Lee had given me over and over again.” She continued, “I always wanted to try acting, so I am very happy to be given the opportunity to do so. With the help of the production crew, I am having a lot of fun on set and I can’t wait for the many days of filming to come.”

‘Fashion King’ was created with fashion as its theme, along with the challenges and success of young people and their love and desire. This drama was put together by the writers of ‘What Happened in Bali’, ‘One Thousand Year Old Penny’ and ‘Stars in my Heart’, Lee Sun Mi and Kim Ki Ho, and the director of ‘Bad Couple’ and ‘Ja Myeong Go’, Lee Myung Woo.

Kwon Yuri will play the character of Anna who overcomes the many obstacles of discrimination and with her own strength, later becomes a senior fashion designer working for a world-famous designer.
