How would you like to be treated like
everyone’s first love? In Korea, when a celebrity is loved by very many people
and is thought of as a certain figure, people give an affectionate nickname of
“national so-and-so.” Miss A’s Suzy is one of those celebrities with such
special nicknames, and hers is “national first love,” partially because of her
role as the main character’s first love in the movie Architecture
101, and also because she reminds many guys
of their first love.
On February 15, a reporter from MBC’s Section TV Entertainment News
interviewed the beloved singer and actress and asked just how she felt to be
given such a nickname. She answered frankly, “I like the nickname, but I also
feel like I’m expected to act certain ways because of it. For instance, I feel
as if I’m not allowed to wear a lot of makeup or color my hair.” (probably
because we have our first love when we are young and innocent, with no cakey
makeup or crazy hair color.) When she was next asked whether she had an
alternative nickname for herself, she creatively said, “Kook-hae-bah (a
national happy virus) sounds good to me.” So we now know that Suzy prefers being
a star who makes us virally happy to being our first crush in memories.
