Sooyoung was the first of the Girls' Generation member to pursue acting however this was the first time that she will be acting in a legitimate drama.
Sooyoung explained,
"After the movie 'Hello Schoolgirl', I almost took on various projects but the situations didn't work out so I was unable to. I wondered what project was going to come my way (after all the missed opportunities) and then I encountered 'Third Hospital'...
Girls' Generation'sYoona,Jessica, and other members were taking on new challenges as actresses but I wasn't able to. I thought, 'Maybe acting is not my path'. Even before my debut, I auditioned for various projects 70 times and was met with defeat every time."
'Third Hospital' is a medical drama about a prodigy neurosurgeon, Kim Do Hyun (Kim Seung Woo) and a prodigy doctor specializing in Asian medicine, Kim Seung Hyun (Oh Ji Ho) who work in a hospital that combines both western and Asian medical practices.
The first episode of 'Third Hospital' will air on Wednesday, September 5th at 11pm.
