- The most "attractive" role? Trang is saying that a back-up dancer has a bigger role than the heroine of a series? Unbelievable.

- The most "attractive" just because of acting in Hollywood movies? I haven't seen her actually act yet.

- Too difficult so understand. Jisoo got the female lead role after a difficult casting process, while Jennie's role was just a supporting role and didn't even need casting.

- Do you think Hollywood is more prestigious than Korean movies?

- I agree that Jennie creates charm but not because of that, Jisoo is inferior.
