It has been announced that Sooyoung has opted out of a main role in the TV Chosun drama “Speed”. SM management mentioned that they will be looking for another project for Sooyoung to be in while focusing on her SNSD activities.
She strongly considered the role last November, but as SNSD was promoting their 3rd album overseas, and the production ran into problems, SM had no choice but to decline the role.
A member of the production staff said, “‘Speed’ was unable to sign any contracts with top actors (in the industry) and complete the cast list. This resulted in a situation where they could not even begin filming. It seems that this was the reason why Sooyoung and SM Entertainment decided that she would not accept the role in the drama.”
Awww, poor Sooyoung. Well, I’m sure there will be more roles in the future for her to partake in. For now, she’ll just have to focus on dominating the world with her 8 sisters :P.

I think Sooyoung here dodged one hell of a bullet.
Aww..this is indeed sad news. What a bummer. I was really looking forward to seeing Sooyoung’s acting. But I guess Sones will just have to wait a bit longer. Hopefully the next time will be a drama on one of the major broadcasting stations, instead of a small cable station.
Sooyoung: Wanting first lead role in drama..
Speed Team: Couldn’t find any top actor ..
SM: No Top Actors !!! , NO Sooyoung !!! ..
nice logic
as much as I would have liked to see Sooyoung’s acting skills, I think her opting out was a good choice for various reasons. hopefully, she’ll be able to land an even better role sometime in the near future 🙂
Oh God .. Sooyoung .. I’m really looking forward to his role in the drama … oh,, That’s okay ..
SNSD spirit ..!
Stale. Looked forward to this drama, as it would be the only one I would have watched.
in other words, she didn’t take the role because “top stars wouldn’t be in the drama”…. lmao
