My day was worth totally worth it, just because of this interview. Sora was subtle, but loved their responses to the kiss, the program, the music (still looks delirious by the muscles of PJS hehehehe). Besides her being beautiful and elegant as always.  :)

Hey hey heeeey.. Hows everyone Bebegurls?
I came to say that..

If Sora would go higher than EunHye, that would be really shocking for me. @-)
EunHye is an extremely good actress. 
She is so talented. I myself am a huge fan of her dramas actually. 
So if Sora would go higher than her I would.. I don'r know,, probably dance for all SUJU 
albums, and probably go CRAZY after that looool 
8-} 8-}

I don't know if that would mean that Sora is better than her or not 
cuz EunHye has been very successful since her debut in GOONG
... but it would definitely mean that Sora is more popular and loveable. :x :x
Who's ready to go crazy with me if that happens ???

Happy Dimples Day ALL...!!! :)>-

First of all....Yeay....I finally come back from my lurking mode! kkk :D :D :D

Hm....Sora is curently in the fifth place of 100 Top Actress in Korea. And our first mission to make her in the top five has done. Now another week has passed, our next mission is to make her get a higher rank....in the top three maybe? I know we can :) So keep voting her as much as we can. And don't worry, though I rarely show up in here, I never stop to vote her 
\m/ 

And about Sora's interview, wow......to me it's proves everthing about their "relationship". In her interview, she said they still communicating by phone or kakaotalk occasionally, right? Come on, PJS won't call Sora if she's not that special, but the truth is HE called HER...!! 
:x  People in army usually call family and people who close to them for their collect call. And Sora is one of the person that PJS called to! It means that she's speacial to him! Kyaaaa.... >_<

And after almost 6 months since WGM ended, she still remember the kiss and how's her response that time, she even still remember how she just realized that kiss after about 4 SECONDS and how's her hand position when that kiss! How come she can remember that so accurate! It means that she still thinks about that kiss and the moment they had in WGM until now...!!! :) :) :)

And now....2 ELF fanbase account in twitter are starting to show their support to Sora too! first is Sup3rjunior and now NKSubs !!! and too add that, honestly everytime I tweeted about Kang Sora and Dimple Couple there are many ELF retweeted or favorited that! Waaaaa......Sora is The Real First Lady indeed! >_<

Here is the part 2 guys:[Trans - Part 2/2] 2013 March 08, Sora Interview with Sina. "Dialogue with Kang Sora: Have regrets towards Lee Teuk, Like Tony Leung, Wei Tang"

(Translated by luvallkorea, English from Chinese article)

* Some sentences are paraphrased for grammar.

新浪娱乐:你出道后,获得了电影新人奖、人气奖,也与利特、金贤重[微博]、元斌这样的韩流明星合作过,觉得自己很幸运吗?
Sina: Since your debut, you received the Best New Actress Award, Popularity Award, also worked with Hallyu stars like Lee Teuk, Kim Hyun Joong, Won Bin, do you feel that you were very fortunate/lucky?

姜素拉:99%是运气好吧。觉得做着做着越来越幸运。虽然努力也很重要,但觉得运气也不能忽视。不知道这样的运气会不会持续,我也要更加努力。
Sora: I believe it's 99% due to luck. As I worked more I feel as if that I am very fortunate. Although being hard work is important, having the opportunity/luck cannot be overlooked/neglected. I do not know how long it (good fortune) will run, so I will continue to work harder.

新浪娱乐:你出演过电影电视,也做过主持人,更喜欢哪种表演形式?
Sina: You acted in roles in movies, dramas, even been hosts. Which role did you like most?

姜素拉:无论如何我觉得是拍电影最有趣了,当然!
Sora: Whatever it is, without a doubt, I love acting in movies the most.

新浪娱乐:觉得和电视剧有什么差别呢?
Sina: How different it is from filming a drama?

姜素拉:电视剧的话在韩国前期准备会比较累,熬夜拍摄的时候也很多。实力好的演员的话可以很有效率地把当天的剧本消化,但是我觉得自己现在还是缺少那样的技能。相比起来我还是更需要时间,不是说拍电影就更有趣,只是现在觉得更适应。电影可以做足充分的准备。
Sora: In Korea, the preparation work for dramas is comparatively complex/more cumbersome/tiring, with more continuous nights of filming. Skilled/Capable actors are very efficient as they could absorb (digest) the day's script on the same day. However, I lack this skill. I'm not saying that acting in movies is more interesting, but I do feel I need more time to adjust to prepare for a role. In comparison. there is ample/more time when preparing/filming a movie. 

新浪娱乐:你在《强心脏》中曾说过自己写过网络武侠小说,为什么会写这样的东西?
Sina: In [strong Heart], you said you authored/published a martial art (kungfu) novel online, why did you write this genre?

姜素拉:原本是在租漫画店里兼职的时候,因为没有漫画书可看,所以开始看了武侠小说。加上妈妈非常喜欢《十 面埋伏》、《满城尽带黄金甲》、《卧虎藏龙》、还有不久前看的《剑雨》,她很喜欢《关云长》、《赤壁》等。啊,还有《无极》也看过。看电影时会带我一起 去,我在电影院最初看的是迪斯尼《花木兰》。从小就很有兴趣,所以自然而然就写起来了吧。现在也很喜欢。
Sora: Well, when I working part-time in a comic bookshop, I started to read kungfu books when I ran out comics to read. To add my mother loves movies like [House of Flying Daggers], [Curse of the Golden Flower], [Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon], recently watched [Reign of Assassins], she also loves [The Lost Bladesman], [Red Cliff] etc. Ah, also watched [The Promise]. She will bring me along when she watched movies, my first movie was Disney's [Mulan]. Since young, I found it interesting and naturally I wrote about it. Even till now, I love kungfu (movies/shows).

新浪娱乐:现在也有写着的小说吗?
Sina: Do you still write short stories?

姜素拉:现在的话我的风格是长篇大作,所以实在写不出短篇的。武侠的话要长才有它的味道,所以要正经写的话时间不够啊。
Sora: Currently I love reading novels, so I honestly couldn't write short stories any longer. When writing Kungfu (martial art), it must be long in order to be rich/interesting, as such if I seriously wanted to write one I wouldn't have enough time. 

新浪娱乐:听说是很好的作品,感想如何呢?
Sina: We heard that your work was very popular, how do you feel about it?

姜素拉:不是中学生,而是以小学生的笔迹写的。是具有纯情色彩的作品。直接看的话会觉得好像在哪里看过,可能是因为我参考其他作品参考得比较多吧。
Sora: I wrote it when I was in primary school not in high school. It's a purely passionate piece of work/ literature. If I read it again now, I feel I read it somewhere before, maybe it's because I researched other work/stories when writing then.

新浪娱乐:成为演员之前,有梦想当作家吗?
Sina: Did ever dream of being an author, before you being an actress?

姜素拉:原来因为在写作和表演方面有兴趣,所以报考学校时专业方向就想往其中一方面发展。但是当时因为数学成绩非常不好,转到了戏剧电影专业的“表演”部分后,曾经想转系。但是不知不觉来到了现在。
Sora: I loved both writing and acting. As such when I enrolled in University, I wanted to work towards this area/direction as my career. While I was in 'drama course', I wanted to transfer out as my results was not good. But, unconsciously I'm here where I am now.

新浪娱乐:现在中国有很多网络小说都被搬上银幕,你幻想过自己的作品也可以这样吗?也想自己亲自扮演吗?
Sina: Currently many Chinese movies are adapted from internet stories/novels, have you dreamt your work will one day be adapted into a movie? And to personally act in it?

姜素拉:可能也会有机会,但是直接看导演们的制作后发现,以自己的实力是不行的。等过了四十岁后再提高实力后,我想我会挑战的。
Sora: If I had the chance, but after watching how directors produced/worked, I won't be able to do it with my present skills. Perhaps when I'm 40 when I have improved my skills/accumulated enough skills, I think I will take on this challenge.

新浪娱乐:有计划过做一个自己写剧,并当导演的作品吗?
Sina: Do you plan to write and direct your own work (movie)?

姜素拉:如果可以做好的话,积攒人脉后,要慢慢寻找免费出演我作品的演员和歌手们。
Sora: If I can, I would after I build/collect (bit by bit) my social network and slowly seek actors and singers who will act in my show for free.

新浪娱乐:对于未来的演艺事业有着怎样的规划?最终的梦想是什么?
Sina: What's your future expectations as an actress? What's your ultimate dream?

姜素拉:目标嘛,不忘记自己的梦想就是目标吧。想要成为有个性,有自己确定的特色与众不同的人,也想要成为这样的演员。
Sora: My aim? Not forgetting my dream is my aim, really. My dream is to be an actress with character, determined, an out of an ordinary/different from the rest.

新浪娱乐:演艺圈的好友都有谁?经常见面吗?会做些什么呢?
Sina: Among the actors/actresses, who are your friends? Do you meet often? What do you do?

姜素拉:最近常见的朋友的话是一起合作过《DreamHigh2》的珍云和徐俊哥和燕珠吧。不知不觉成了酒友了。我们互相之间都没有异性的感情,都称兄道弟呢。
Sora: I usually meet up with fellow actors from [Dream high 2] Jinwoon, (and 2 more actors, sorry can't figure out the names). We became drinking friends naturally/unconsciously. We are like brothers and sisters, no feelings of love.

新浪娱乐:跟《Sunny》中的姐妹们平时有联系吗?
Sina: Do you keep in contact with [sunny] sisters?  

姜素拉:因为都比我忙,所以只有我苦苦哀求才可以见到,接下电话行不行啊?
Sora: As they are more busy than myself, we can meet up only after my long pleading, can contacting via phone be considered?

新浪娱乐:理想型是什么样子的?
Sina: What is your ideal man?

姜素拉:因为我的个子比较高,所以喜欢壮一点和下巴有角的男生。因为我长得有点圆圆的,所以喜欢外国演员中出演《雷神》的克里斯-海姆斯沃斯和像马克-沃尔伯格一样长得棱角分明的人。
Sora: As I'm tall, I prefer strong/muscular man with a shaped/pointed chin. Also, I'm a bit rounded, that's why I like guys with the same physical (shape) like foreign actors like Chris Hemsworth from [Thor], Mark Walberg.

新浪娱乐:对中国的导演和演员熟悉吗? 看过中国的影视作品吗?哪一部?
Sina: Are you familiar with Chinese directors and actors? Have you watched any Chinese Movies? which one?

姜素拉:我喜欢《色戒》中的梁朝伟前辈?梁朝伟前辈和汤唯。因为特别喜欢连DVD都买了呢,还有非常喜欢《卧虎藏龙》,还有看电影《梅兰芳》时非常喜欢章子怡。
Sora: I love [Lust, Caution] with Tony Leung (senior)? Tony Leung and Tang Wei. I loved it so much that even bought its DVD. I also love [Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon], I also watched the movie [MeilanFang], really love the actress Zhang Ziyi.

新浪娱乐:中国演员中想要合作的演员是哪位呢?
Sina: Is there any Chinese actor/actress you want to work with? 

姜素拉:都非常好,不久前出演《强盗们》的任达华[微博]前辈真的很帅。中国演员们长得都非常帅,五官也清秀,所以觉得他们都非常帅。每一位都不可错过,只要有机会的话。
Sora: All of the actors are great professionals. Recently I watched [The Thieves] and found the actor, Simon Yam, very stylish/handsome. Chinese celebrities are very good-looking with very good facial features. If I have the chance, I love to work with anyone of them.

新浪娱乐:或许有中国进出的计划吗?
Sina: Do you plan to debut in China?

姜素拉:有机会的话想去啊,小时候在韩国播放了中国电视剧《还珠格格》,也很想拍摄一次这样的作品。
Sora: If I've the opportunity, I love to do a drama/work like [Return of the Pearl Princess] which I loved watching when I was young.

新浪娱乐:以后的活动计划如何呢?
Sina: What is your future work/plans like?

姜素拉:下半年可能会拍电视剧,虽然不知道以什么样的作品和大家见面,但会努力尽快和大家见面。还有现在有学一点点中文,只有一点点。
Sora: Later part of 2013, I may film a drama though I do not what role I'll take on. But I will work harder to meet everyone. Also I will continue to learn mandarin.

新浪娱乐:最后再和新浪网友们说句吧~!
Sina: Your last wish for our Sina friends!

姜素拉:新浪的网友们,虽然是第一次和大家见面,以后希望努力以更好的作品和大家经常见面。这期间不要忘了我哦。春天也即将到来,天气也越来越热,注意管理健康哦,还有希望也多多来韩国玩哦~!我也会去中国玩的,谢谢。春天~ 谢谢大家。再见!娃娃发自韩国站
Sora: Even though this is my first time greeting you, my Sina friends, I hope you again and will work harder bring you better work. Meantime, please don't forget about me. Springtime is coming and the weather is getting warmer, please look after your health. Hope you can visit Korea! I also hope to visit China. Thank you. Springtime, thank you everyone! Bye! Little sister going back to Korea stop (stand)!

First time to post here but I have been reading all your post here and I felt that they were an awesome couple. I even started watching all their episodes in WGM and I admire both of them. I even open a twitter account to be able to see what she is up to in case during off cam. Seriously I feel sad that Sora's recent interview in SINA makes me think that her actions and gestures in WGM are a bit fake. ( Please don't be mad about my opinion ) No wonder Leeteuk said that he is the only one honest in WGM during their stint.

In WGM she always avoid any skinship with Leeteuk but when I watch her in some public functions I can see that she is comfortable placing her hands with men. I can't blame Leeteuk for that in his last interview in WGM. It was really a different Sora from the real life off cam.

When I watch the Tango episode where she wear costumes and she said she was not comfortable with it, why does she wear the see through clothes in her recent press greeting.

Obviously she is a different Sora off cam. She drinks with men and in my culture ( ladies who drink with men occasionally is not much a respectable person for us ) Even my father tell me not to drink with men, If I want to be respected.

I think I will start to focus more with leeteuk since from the start I was an ELF and I tried to like her for the sake of our leader.  I guess WGM is not a total reality show still we can fake things and in the end the truth still comes out.

I hope she will not talk about him anymore becoz if makes some of us confused on her true intention. Let her prove that she can become famous without Leeteuk name on the side.

Finally Kang Sora News by TVReport

강소라, 이특과의 키스 회상 "4초 지나고 알았다"

기사입력 2013-03-09 11:40:53

20130218_1361155525_90369500_1.jpg?13627

[TV리포트=박설이 기자] 배우 강소라가 중국 매체와의 인터뷰에서 이특과의 키스를 회상했다.



8일 중국 시나닷컴 연예는 MBC '우리 결혼했어요'와 영화 '써니'의 인기로 중국에서 인지도를 높여가고 있는 강소라와의 인터뷰를 보도했다.



시나닷컴은 인터뷰에서 중국 팬들이 가장 관심을 갖는 슈퍼주니어 이특과의 키스에 대한 질문을 꺼냈다. 강소라는 "4초 정도 지나서 (키스한 걸) 안 것 같다. 손을 어색하게 하고 있어서 맹하게 나왔다"고 당시를 회상했다.



군에 입대한 이특과 제대로 인사를 나누지 못한 데 대한 안타까움도 드러냈다. 강소라는 "실제로도 아쉽고 슬펐다. 더군다나 바로 군대에 가서 술을 마시면서 '잘 다녀와라' 할 시간도 없었다"고 아쉬워했다.



강소라는 "아주 가끔 전화하고 가끔 카카오톡도 한다. 얼마 전 '프라미스'도 보고 왔다. 남자가 됐더라"고 여전히 친분을 유지하고 있음을 밝히기도 했다. '프라미스'는 이특이 출연하는 군 창작 뮤지컬이다.



인터뷰에서 중국 진출에 대한 의지를 드러내는 것도 잊지 않았다. 강소라는 "'색계'의 양조위와 탕웨이를 정말 좋아한다. 장쯔이의 '매란방'도 좋아하고 '도둑들'의 임달화도 멋지다"고 중화권 배우들에 호감을 보이면서 "기회가 된다면 중국에 가서 '황제의 딸' 같은 드라마를 해보고 싶다. 중국어도 조금 배우고 있다"고 중국 진출 계획을 밝혔다.



한편 강소라는 개봉을 앞둔 영화 '파파로티'에서 주인공 장호(이제훈 분)에게 호감을 보이는 여고생 숙희 역을 맡아 열연했다.

@cray0n01   You did not get the  gist of what leeteuk was trying to say during the interview in WGM.   He regretted it remember?  Because he thought he was the only one who was true in WGM but he later found out that Sora was also true in her stint in WGM.   I respect your opinion but I totally disagree with what you are saying.   It doesn't mean that if you go out with guy friends and drink...your not a good person anymore.   It might be in your culture but most westernized culture it is just normal and you don't judge a person because she drinks occasionally with friends....  Sora was just being honest.,   She is being ask about Teuk...she is just answering Sina's question.   Many Elf's love Sora by the way so there might be a few who are against their "friendship".  Its ok.  You cannot please everybody.  Do you see the difference of the see through she wore in WGM and the see through she wore in a recent event....Gosh... was there a difference???  totally!!!!  The recent dress she wore is so covered even though its see through.  Its something anybody can wear whereas the one from WGM...its not for everybody to wear.  It takes someone to have guts and the figure to wear it.

Mmh...I think Crayon read another interview and saw another WGM. I mean, really? she was fake? She was just shy. In my culture you don't become all touchy with the first men you meet. And you can see that after the Nami Island episode, everything changed. They were much more comfortable with each other. About the interview...really she said she hangs out with her Dream High2 friends and sometimes they drink together. But she is close to all her colleagues, even girls ones. So, really there's no need to attack her personally. You can say that you don't like her, and I wouldn't say anything, even if as an ELF myself sometimes I really get mad when people hate on Sora because of this absurd jealousy toward Teuk. But saying she's a bad gir, you really went a bit overboard

@Cicci_92_1 Since we are both an ELF we definitely has trhe concern to Leeteuk. I don't have anything against Sora if Leeteuk likes her I will be happy to cheer for them but I just hope her honesty on the interview will be more less in a way that she don't need to flaunt that she drinks with his colleague and that she hoped she had a drink with Leeteuk after the show since we all know that Leeteuk don't like drinking and for a woman who thinks like that I hope she has kept it with her. I don't want some ELF to get this information straight from her or else in the future it will be against her.

I hope she stays pure and wholesome till Leeteuk gets discharge. There is no need for her admitting that she has some drinking buddies. It does not reflect good image on her part. I would rather accept SJ Kyuhyun to admit that he loves drinking wine than Sora informing us that she enjoys drinking.

I loved her in MERIDA even it is only her voice but having that wonderful voice and spoiling it by drinking alcohol is not nice, I may say. Think of the image she has and the future in which she wanted

Jinwoon who is proud to be a drinker is a friend of Sora. I believe they are friends but you will never know what will happen to people when they get drunk. I guess I'm lucky that Eunhyuk and Leeteuk does not like drinking alcohol even they are real men.
