[Article] Alice "I want Hello Venus to do more better…Shinhwa is my role model"


Girl group Hello Venus Alice is still more familiar than actress Song Joo Hee. Song Joo Hee recently deleted Alice from 'Nunsense 2' and turned into the first ballerina sister and new sister Mary Leo. She is growing up as a musical actress who is actively building filmography.

"Last year, I made my musical debut with "All Shook Up" and it felt fun. A good opportunity came and I met 'Nunsense 2'. It can be overlapped with album promotion and be physically burdensome but I wanted to do it. I can sing and dance in musical. It's fun and I want to do it. I look forward to seeing you from various works from now on."

It was difficult to do both musical and Hello Venus activities at the same time, but she do not regret trying to challenge 'Nunsense 2'. She said she learned to work with the audience through this work.

"As 'All Shook Up' was my debut work, I cannot improvised and it's difficult for my fellow actor to improvise the script with me. I did not have scene matching the character, so I only went to improvise solo scene but I learned to work together in 'Nunsense 2'. The seniors improvise a lot and the atmosphere is so good. I am working as it flows as Mary Leo for two hours."

Alice changes to her real name Song Joo Hee, and she is determined as an actress to work in a musical. She is attracted with the fact that she can communicate with the audience.

"From the beginning, I was not interested in the musical genre itself. I wanted to build a lot of stage experience because I have to do it on the given assinment as an idol. When I started to play musicals, I was flustered because I had a lot to do. After that I became interested in musicals. Singers also need acting element, but we do not have script. Hello Venus is not a concert singer, so I rarely have the opportunity to face the audience because there are lots of times when I will do with the broadcasting media on a one-to-one basis. Thanks to the musical, I can work directly with the audience."

Members of Hello Venus also watched Song Joo Hee's performance in the audience seat. She smiled as soon as we talk about the members.

" I was a bit embarrassed because they screamed every time I went out. (Laugh) I'm a serious existence in the group as a leader. As they shouted at the front, I feel ashamed, embarrassed, good and I sweated a lot with mind that I had to do good. They told me that they had so much fun. I was upset because  I caught cold and could not sang satiesfiedly but they said 'Even when you cannot sing, we didn't watch the play like that. It was just fun'. It's good that the members went to enjoy the atmosphere." 

You live with the members like a family. You aimed to be a longevity group like group Shinhwa.

"I have been with the members for six years and we have lived together for eight years since we were trainee. We're like a family. Even when we fight, there is no bitter feeling.


My role model is Shinhwa. I want to be active for a long time. Of course I also have the desire to be better. I have desire to be better than to be compared with anyone. As an entertainer, all feelings will be felt. It was not decided who should be the target or where to go. Each member has different goals but I am glad that Hello Venus is the center and is showing off their skills. If we do this, won't we get much love."

In addition to activities of Hello Venus, the dream of musical actress Song Joo Hee is also firm. She told "I want to be a reliable actress."

"I want to challenge in 'Laundry' and 'Wicked'. It was not long before I debuted and I first met 'Laundry' but I had been dropped out because I do not have much preparation. I want to try again someday.

When I was in 'All Shook Up', the seniors said I'll match with musical song from 'Wicked'. It's still too lacking and I have a lot to learn but I want to accumulate a lot of experience and become a reliable person. My objective is to become an actress that when the people look at the casting only, they will look forward and become curious."

[Article] Lee Michelle·Song Joo Hee "Thanks to 'Nunsense 2', we gained energy"


Singer Lee Michelle and Hello Venus Song Joo Hee (Alice) introduced their new appeal with musical 'Nunsense' 2.

'Nunsense 2', which depicts a chaotic episode in which five nuns perform a thank-you concert at the Hoboken Concert Hall, has ended at the Seoul Arts Center on March 5. The performance will continue at Jeju Art Center On April 22 and 23.

Lee Michelle played the role of sister Hubert who bickered over with the chief of the nun but has wide understanding. Song Joo Hee became the first ballerina sister and the youngest, Mary Leo. Both of them took on distinctive character and expanded their spectrum.

"I joined the practice 2 or 3 weeks late because of my album production and I was worried if I could not follow the flow. I did not know how to analyze the character, so I got the answers from the actors and director. After putting on mine, it's comfortable as if wearing the right clothes for my body." (Lee Michelle)

"I just adapted and became comfortable now but it's too bad it has already ended. Like Michelle, I did not participate in the practice much because of album promotion. I was worried that I could not keep up but I did it because my seniors led me well and I gained energy. It's a thankful work.

At the end, I cannot satisfied with my singing because I caught cold but I'm glad it has ended well. The play itself was fun and I got energy. I can see the expression of the audiences. I feel good when the audiences enjoyed watching it." (Song Joo Hee)

With Park Hae Mi as the head who directed and starred in 'Nunsense 2', it's joined by stars without a lot of musical experience such as Jo Hye Ryun, Park Seul Gi, Yewon, Lee Michelle, Song Joo Hee and etc. Nevertheless, their teamwork was the best.

"When women are gathered, they become friendly. Because the main character is a woman and a small number of people, we get close soon. We also talk about our acting. The priest is the only man, and it's fun to tease him. (Laugh) We have good chemistry." (Lee Michelle)



Song Joo Hee erased the image of girl group Hello Venus and immersed in Mary Leo. Lee Michelle is actually 27 years old but she took on role as 40s sister Hubert. She released contradictory charm with her outspoken image on 'Kpop Star' and 'Nation of Hip Hop'

"As the youngest nun, she was a role who doesn't know anything and has no sense. I raised my voice tone to make she look as young as possible. Sometimes I felt she is like Amnesia but I tried to make difference. When Amnesia was doing something stupid, she tried to focus on it." (Song Joo Hee)

"I gave weight to grab the drama in detail. I had to get hold of the chief of the nun, and I had to control the other nuns below, so I had a low voice. I monitored the actors who played Hubert. I followed a lot of footwork and hand gestures." (Lee Michelle)



Lee Michelle already joined 'I Love You, Tones' (2013) and Song Joo Hee 'All Shook Up' (2016), after that 'Nunsense 2' became their second musical. They have been developing a lot of experience.

"Last year, I made musical debut with 'All Shook Up' and it was fun. A good opportunity came and I met 'Nunsense 2'. It can be overlapped with album promotion and be physically burdensome but I wanted to do it. I can sing and dance in musical. It's fun and I want to do it. I look forward to seeing you from various works from now on." (Song Joo Hee)

"I think musicals are comprehensive arts. We have to play, sing and dance well, we have to match well, and we have to have a momentary base. I think that everything should be done well because it can become a total difficulty if something is missing. I wanted to learn because it was a good work that deserved standing ovation. How do I feel after trying it? The way to go is too far. (Laugh) I focused on acting while doing 'Nunsense 2'. I tried to act like Hubert." (Lee Michelle)

As it is in the same time with Hello Venus activity, I spend more time in broadcast station than practice room. So the members took the role one by one and read the script."

Song Joo Hee also expressed her difficulty about scene of riding a roller skate and she also expressed her regret. Song Joo Hee explained, "I have a roller skating scene, but it's not as good as I thought. I practiced every day around Sangam-dong broadcast station, but I did not get better than I thought. It was difficult"

{Omitted introduction to the casts}

Park Hae Mi, who directed the musical, said, "Directing was a task that I wanted to challenge in my life. I was careful because I could put sunglasses on the actors to direct the actors, and this was a work of faith and confidence that I could do well."

Moreover she revealed, "'Nonsense 2' is a work created overseas, but because it is important to communicate with the audience, we have made some modifications to suit our emotions. I'm sure it will be a work that will not only be a funny performance but also a touching performance."

Jo Hye Ryun, who made her first challenge to musicals said, "When I first got the musical proposal, I worried about my singing and I was worried about the lack of time. But it's a field that I want to try to challenge so I decided to left everything behind and try to challenge it."

Park Seul Gi showed her special affection for the work, "I went to audition for Robert Anne role during 'Nunsense 1". However, it was disappointing because I got Amnesia role, and I am very happy now that I am in charge of Robert Anne."

Yewon revealed her feeling for the new challenge, "I was afraid prior to the starting of the musical but I challenge it with my faith towards director Park Hae Mi. I want to be acknowledged that I did well because I worked hard. I have confident to make a challenge in something different with my current field and I hope that it will be an opportunity to further improve."

Michelle Lee said, "After K-pop Star and 'Nation of Hip Hop', I made a new challenge again in musical. It is my debut work, I am so happy and excited to meet with good work and good seniors in 'Nonsense 2'. I think I can show the audience a different appearance than before."

Hello Venus member Song Joo Hee (Alice) showed affection for her role, "This is my second work. I'm really happy and nervous to do 'Nunsense 2'.
