Yes folks, you read that right.
SNSD member, Jessica Jung, will be starring in the Korean version of "Legally Blonde: The Musical" starting on the second week of November alongside actor Kim Dong Wook.
I get the whole "idol-star-transitioning-into-musical-actors"... but JESSICA JUNG?????
This is the same girl whose voice broke during their ONE song performance while singing only ONE line in a music program...

Never mind the fact that her voice has always been screechy, nasal, and thin. She has been stated as one of SNSD's "main" vocals, but only due to the fact that SNSD never really had any good vocalists. So why did she get the part, when its blatantly obvious Jessica is not, and has never been, a strong vocalist?
As for dancing, she is also the same girl, who, during their LIPSYNCHED performance of Shinhwa's T.O.P., couldn't hold a dancer's pose for three seconds.
I'll give you three guesses on who "keeled" over... And that was after two-three takes of the same routine.
7 years of training must have been rough, considering that she can't sing properly, dance properly... and act properly? Wait.. has she even acted in a drama before? Be it TV, movie, or cable, has Jessica Jung appealed to any of Korean entertainment's PDs for a possible acting gig?
NO
She has never done any acting prior to this (if you don't count the failed Horror Factory she did with SNSD).
Jessica, Jessica, Jessica.. didn't your Heechul
My guess is, one of the reason why they "cast" her in that musical is her blonde "look"...
Yeah.. sure... the lead actress in "Legally Blonde" has a bubbly, hyper, and amiable character. Waaay different from Jessica's "Ice Princess" persona that she maintains to a T.
I'd usually say, let's have a look and see what will happen on this impending disaster, but I'll save myself the trouble and just NOT BOTHER AT ALL.
ONE MORE THING!
Please try not to use blondes as the bad part of this article.
I'm sure Jessicka is "special" enough to have her own line of insults
