Ueno Juri

Hey Capriccioso. Are you from Korea? Is she really popular there?

I was wondering because I always see many press/interviews of Juri from SK, almost as many from Japan. Would most young people from Korea know who Juri is, or only a few like you?

LOL. :hehe:

The lead should have fun just like everyone else... :victory:

I think Juri-chan is quite popular in Korea, seeing how many times she's visited to promote films and dramas...

We should be so lucky here in the States. :puppydog:

Yeah I'm Korean. :mrgreen:
I think Juri is as famous as some Korean actress/actor.
I don't know what can be the basis that says Juri is popular in south korea
but there are about 14000 of Korean Juri fan cafe members. I guess there are more fans who don't join the cafe. Considering Juri is foreign actress, the numer of Juri fans is not a few in korea(I think) :dancing:

EDIT : Besides some Korean actress/actors knows and likes Juri
I know that fact when Juri visited Korea to attend Pusan film
festival

by the way, Is juri appearing on the scene of Swing Girls that girls play at the river? I watched the movie some times, but I can't find her! even the ending credit scene that girls sing L-O-V-E at the river :crazy:

I think the Japanese film/television industry sees Korea as a viable market, as opposed to us in the States. If they would quit whining about their lack of a world market, and actually subtitle everything on reasonably priced DVD's, maybe Juri-chan would be visiting more.

It's endearing :D (For girls, at least...)

Seeing Miyazaki Aoi recently went to Taiwan to promote her new movie, I think the next destination Juri-chan will be going for promotion is Taiwan or Hong Kong...There are tons of Juri-chan's fans there..Thanks to Nodame and Last Friends :)

What about Swing Girls and STMB? :sweat:

Generally speaking, dramas are more well-known if compared to movies. It's Nodame and Last Friends that really boost her popularity..

^ OK.

Swing Girls was quite popular when it was released in Hong Kong. Nodame was aired on TV (Sunday mornings) about 3 months ago as well as the Europe special. Last Friends will be shown on HDTV shortly, but not yet.
