Bae Suzy has said that she thinks Netflix’s new K-drama Doona! helps to show a “really human side” of K-pop idols.
In Doona!, Bae Suzy stars as the titular character of Doona, a former K-pop idol who has left behind her glamorous celebrity life and retired from the entertainment industry. Notably, Doona is presented as a heavy smoker in the series.
In a new interview with TV Report, the actress says she “honestly felt really refreshed by the set-up of an idol smoking so openly”, saying that the characterisation of Doona shows a “really human side” of K-pop idols, as translated by Koreaboo.
“I think smoking was a tool to express Doona’s loneliness,” Bae Suzy added. “That’s why when she was dating Won-jun, she cut down on smoking, but started again when she got insecure. I think how Doona feels can be seen through her smoking.”
