Choi Sooyoung'S Tearful Hollywood Journey – The Untold Struggles Of A K-Pop Star

Choi Sooyoung's Hollywood Confession

In a recent episode of ‘Salon de Lib 2,’ K-Pop sensation Choi Sooyoung peeled back the glamorous curtain of Hollywood to reveal her raw and genuine struggles during her debut. Streaming on October 16, the YouTube channel showcased a candid conversation between Choi and Kim Jae-young, where she shared her emotional journey and the reality of stepping into Hollywood.

Choi, famed for her role in Girls' Generation, proudly reminisced about her hit songs with the group, underscoring how timeless music remains. “Having a hit song is truly great... The era when those songs were popular never fades,” she stated. Her love for her musical roots was palpable as she opened up about her beginnings.

From K-Pop Trainee to Hollywood Aspirant

Choi's journey wasn't an overnight success. A former trainee, she juggled college preparation and auditions for acting roles, all while dreaming of stardom. “I thought it was my last chance... I auditioned for every high school role,” she recalled. Much to her credit, her perseverance paid off, and today, she stands tall next to the same peers who have become top stars.

Her Hollywood journey began with *Ballarina*, marking a time for self-reflection. Despite the production company taking care of her every need, Choi revealed moments of intense loneliness. “Even though I could be alone, being by myself made me feel lonely,” she admitted, describing how she navigated cultural differences and communication barriers.

“The culture was different... I worried if my words might be rude. I cried once during that week of self-pity, which was an essential period to endure,” she revealed.

Challenging the Hollywood Action Scene

Choi's Hollywood chapter demanded more than just acting chops; it pushed her into action training for safety on set. “Even if not required, I trained in action scenes,” she shared, giving a glimpse into her rigorous preparation with the *John Wick* stunt team.

Despite the challenging rhythm of Hollywood action, Choi impressed the stunt team with her dedication. “They said I looked like a female lead from K-dramas. I asked, ‘What’s wrong with that?’” she recalled, embracing her unique style while honing her craft.

Choi’s partner, Jung Kyung-ho, has been a supportive figure throughout her journey, with their love story spanning over a decade since 2012.
