Suzy in Radiant Sporty Mode Throwing First Pitch at Baseball Game

Baseball season ended in dramatic fashion this week in the US professional league but in South Korea it’s still fall classic for a country that also loves this sport. Korean actress-idol Suzy made her fourth pre-game celebrity first pitch appearance on the mound since her debut, looking radiant and believably sporty. She’s not so thin that seeing her throw a baseball makes me fear for her health, and she has that girl-next-door vibe that I can see appeal to sports lovers as well as her singing contingent of ahjushhi fans. Suzy’s currently airing K-drama While You Were Sleeping is my favorite of all her dramas now, which isn’t saying much since she doesn’t have a huge drama oeuvre but she does have bigger rating hits where I found her acting so awful even I couldn’t get through it (Gu Family Book, imma talking to you). For all drama lovers sakes, I hope Suzy continues this positive acting improvement from WYWS in the same vein she keeps getting prettier.

  • Now Suzy has 3 consecutive flops. She should just stick to doing cfs lol because looks like she can't really bring an audience

  • Suzy keeps getting prettier and prettier, it's like every appearance she makes she peaks in beauty, wow.. And I love love love WYWS too, I'm actually surprised that I do. hwaiting sujiya!!

  • No matter how pretty please no more leads in dramas. Stick to your strengths and she is getting better doesn't cut it. She is awful and writers shouldn't have to pander to the lowest common denominater but the highest.

  • She's so pretty.No doubt it. But, please stay away from acting. She still can get lots of offer from CFs tho. Same goes to Yoona. They ruin the stories coz of their acting.

  • Girl has no acting talent as proven umpteenth times, better stick to modelling and CFs. Don't deprive others who are actually talented of the opportunities.

  • She's super pretty and growing up beautifully! One tends to forget she's been in the industry since she was about 16 and is actually younger than YSH, LHW, PBG, JS and even Shin Jae Ha! She looks the same age as PSH and HHJ! Same for Krystal, Hyeri and Sulli. They are all so beautiful and look much older than their real ages.

  • She should just stick to doing CFs, there's no shame in that and frankly, if she can't deliver a good performance (people say 'improved' but she's still uneven and struggles) after all this effort from top writers to write roles that suit her, she should step back from lead roles.

    It's not like her last three projects were hits or anything, she can just embrace that It girl status and focus on music instead since she seems to like it more than acting.

  • Why people tell Suzy to do this or that?
    It's her choice to do dramas and she's chosen by drama producers

    If you don't like her works, just don't see it.. ^^
    cause there are other people who still watch her dramas

    Like if you don't like coffee, just don't drink or buy it.. why you tell others to not sell or make it?

    just that simple, right?

    • I agree. It's that simple, yet so many leave comments just to hate. Do haters think we need their "expert" analysis? Everyone has their own taste. Let's let everyone enjoy what they like.

    • Would have been interested in the coffee but for the insect in it. Better to boycott than to get frustrated by 'improvements' only a Suzy-stan can see. If other idol-actors or actresses are getting panned regularly for their bad acting, why should Suzy be immune from it?

      • Oh, honestly, f* u. Comparing a human being to an insect just bc you don't like her work is ridiculous. Commenters here try way too hard and I will never understand why Koala's blog is the only one that amounts to these kinds of people that have their ego up their ass.

      • @Lit, thanks for the immense civility. Hope you don't represent all Suzy-stans and that your idol tries a lot harder and genuinely improves in her next acting project. That way you should be less pressed.

    • More like if the coffee producer keeps force feeding its consumers bad quality coffee.The buyers have the right to complain.The problem is not even the coffee, its just that some of the ingredients are spoiling the whole thing.So the consumers are only saying, remove the bad stuff and give us back the good stuff we fell in love with, at the beginning.The audience is the one keeping them in business.The acting industry is not like the idol industry.Where that "hater's gonna hate hate hate, or am so pretty so baby me" is gonna fly.Or subpar talent can be covered by visual.If one aspect of the production(acting, directing,script) is not ok, it brings the quality of the project down and it shows.Actors are the face of the production, so if the actor/s are the weakest link.They get the harshest criticism.Dont like your bias to be criticised and only praised.Thats why fanpages exist.If people are simply hating.Its ok to defend.But in suzy's case, its not mere hate.She is in people's list as ok in personality, looks,, modelling variety and even singing, just not acting.Thats why her recent acting projects keep tanking while she is successful in everything else.Thats why the same criticism keep being repeated over and over again.

      The top 3 Korea beauties were once bashed for their acting.Kim Tae Hee is considered by the Koreans as one of their top beauties.Han Ga In too.To date, they are praised for many things, but acting isnt one of them.Kim Hee Sun was once an IT girl like Suzy in the 90s.Song Hye Kyo and Jun Ji Hyun.All have been bashed for their acting before.And many many others.They all had to work their asses off to prove themselves, and change from bad to at least watchable and some became good. until today, they still get polarising views.So Suzy isnt immune.Every person needs compliments and sometimes confrontations to grow.Suzy herself knows that.

      Also her stans here should be thankful she is in Koala's like list.Unnie Koala isnt very lenient either when she wants to drag actor/actresses she doesnt like and their works.Perhaps this is why Suzy gets dragged harder than usual.She is put on a pedestral compared to those who are deemed to be less prettier/popular.

      • No one is forcing it down your throat you have the option to watch a million other dramas or re watch throne you have watched already or don’t watch at all. No one is saying you have to watch WYWS. God and your government have blessed you with the freedom of choice and so enjoy your freedom like she is allowed to enjoy the freedom of chasing her own dreams.
        The drama is not a flop so clearly some people are interested. Why should we suffer not being able to watch someone we like because you don’t like watching her? Change the channel or turn off the TV.

  • Suzy's acting leaves a lot to be desired, and that's putting it nicely. She is very pretty in Koreans' eyes and that's the main reason producers still want her. Koreans are obsessed with beauty and youth and right now she has both. Like it or not, Suzy will continue to ride her popularity until she needs anti-ageing procedures in her 30s. Btw, she looks much nicer in pictorials when her lips are not parted.

    No, it isn't fair to actresses who can actually act but that's the Korean entertainment industry for you. Pretty idols rule.

  • I do agree shes getting prettier by the day. Theres a Yoon Eun Hye quality to her but frankly her acting is truly pretty shitty... its sad when her best performance struggles on the borderline of passable. Call a spade a spade. It sucks. I prefer to watch real actresses that posess the character they play than these girls that remind us its so and so playing the character. Watching wyws... im tired of justifying for her every ep.
