K-pop group miss A member Bae Su-ji, 23, who is mononymously known as Suzy, recently starred in the SBS series “While You Were Sleeping.” She played Nam Hong-joo, 29, a journalist who can see in her dreams unfortunate events before they take place in real life.

More than a month after “While You Were Sleeping” ended, fans of Suzy will see her on the cover of the January 2018 issue of InStyle. Her photo shoot for the fashion magazine took place in Adelaide, South Australia.

After the photo shoot, Suzy talked about acting in her interview with the publication. For her, being natural is the way to go so she does not like going over the top.

When Suzy started out acting, she was told that her acting style was bland or flat. She pointed out that as a person, she reacts a certain way whenever she is happy or sad.

But as an actor, it is necessary to overdo things in order to show the audience the emotions of the character, Suzy said. For her, it is not easy to do this kind of acting.

On “While You Were Sleeping,” Suzy’s character becomes neighbors with Jung Jae-chan (Lee Jong-suk), 29, a rookie prosecutor who also has the ability to see in his dreams unfortunate events before they happen.

On Dec. 6-8, Jong-suk was in Japan to attend fan meetings. During these events, he talked about how he became fonder of his previous works including “School 2013” and “I Hear Your Voice,” according to Sports Donga. 

Jong-suk believes that his acting is better in his more recent drama series. However, he pointed out that the affection he has for his earlier works is different.

Among Suzy and Jong-suk’s “While You Were Sleeping” co-actors were Lee Sang-yeob, Jung Hae-in and Ko Sung-hee. Meanwhile, watch the music video of Suzy’s song “Yes No Maybe” here:
