Bae Suzy might be a huge star but she’s more than just a pretty face. Suzy’s “Doona!” co-star Yang Se Jong revealed that the former Miss A member also has a generous heart. Yang just revealed that Suzy provided thoughtful and expensive gifts for the staff of the Netflix series when they filmed during a difficult period!

Suzy Gave ‘Doona!’ Staff Expensive Gifts During Filming

Bae Suzy and Yang Se Jong recently made a guest appearance in an episode of “Salon Drip” where they discussed working on their hit show. At one point, the host asked Jang Do Yeon about Suzy’s generosity when they were filming for “Doona!” Not surprisingly, Yang had a delightful story to share.

He revealed that despite the show’s summer setting, the production faced the harshness of winter during filming. The dedicated staff endured challenging conditions, working tirelessly outdoors in the cold.

Suzy, who is known for her caring nature, decided to warm the hearts of the staff. She gifted each team member expensive gifts to combat the cold. Yang Se Jong revealed that Suzy “gave super expensive scarves to every one of the staff members.” Suzy went the extra mile, not only purchasing a collection of Acne Studio scarves, some priced as high as $420 USD each but also personally wrapping them.

Surprisingly, the substantial cost of these Christmas gifts didn’t faze Suzy in the least. What truly touched her was the staff’s happiness upon receiving the thoughtful tokens of appreciation. Suzy’s gesture warmed not only their bodies but their spirits as well.

“Doona!” is a romantic drama series based on a beloved webtoon. The story centers around the experiences of Lee Doona, a former idol as she encounters Lee Wonjun, a regular college student, in a shared living arrangement. The new series premiered on Netflix on October 20, 2023

‘Doona!’ Star Suzy Discusses Her Character’s Rebellious Behavior

Bae Suzy certainly understands the character she played in the hit Netflix series “Doona!”, and she defended the character’s rebellious behavior. According to Suzy, it is all tied to Doo Na’s true feelings!

In the Netflix hit series “Doona!”, Suzy portrayed a character that defied conventional expectations, giving viewers a fresh perspective on her acting abilities. Her character, Lee Doo Na, was emotionally unstable and yearned for love and attention from others. Despite her struggles, she found the burden of life as an idol too overwhelming to bear.

Through her portrayal of Lee Doo Na, Suzy unveiled many new and unfamiliar facets of her talent to the public. She surprised audiences with scenes featuring her character smoking, a departure from the usual roles associated with K-pop idols. Her fashion choices in the show also garnered attention, as she donned numerous stunning outfits, although some were short and uncomfortable.

Suzy Explains Doo Na’s Rebellious Behavior in Netflix Show

When asked about these unconventional elements of her character in an interview with TV Report, Suzy explained that they were essential to the role and carried significant symbolism. She embraced the opportunity to break the mold of a typical idol character, adding depth and authenticity to her performance.

“I think smoking was a tool to express Doo Na’s loneliness,” Suzy said. “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.”

“As for her clothing, they are short, thin, and uncomfortable in general,” she continued. “This is another tool through which Doona’s unstable emotions are expressed. I thought that it hints at how lonely and cold she felt.”

“Doona!” achieved remarkable success on Netflix, topping the platform’s global charts during its launch week. It is considered one of the most successful Korean content offerings on the platform in 2023, further solidifying Suzy’s reputation as a versatile and accomplished actress.

Suzy Explains Doona’s Hime Hairstyle in Netflix Series

There is little doubt that Lee Doona was truly brought to life in “Doona!” and this was made possible by the talented Bae Suzy. However, there were some details from the webtoon that didn’t appear in the Netflix series. For instance, the live-action Doona sports a pretty hime hairstyle in the show. Interestingly, Suzy revealed the reason why her character looks slightly different from the MIN SONGA manhwa.

Suzy Explains Doona’s Hime Hairstyle

Suzy recently took part in Netflix’s “Lookbook” series where she discussed the different styles she wore as Lee Doona in the show. She confirmed that her character was not simply confined to one definitive look.

“Considering Doona’s situation, changing her style tailored to it is one of the points to watch for,” Suzy said.

She then discussed the hime hairstyle, or princess cut, which is very different from the character’s original look in the webtoon. Interestingly, the “Vagabond” star admitted that it was her idea to change Doona’s hairstyle for the Netflix series.

“In the webtoon, Doona doesn’t have a hime cut, but a full-bang and wavy hair,” Suzy said. “That’s a style I used to do often though, and since Doona is not a person with a general personality, I wanted to try a hair that’s a little unusual.”

“That’s why I challenged myself, and I decided to make the final decision because it fits well with Doona’s image,” she continued.

It’s great to know that Suzy was fully involved in the development of the character and made sure Lee Doona would be unique in her own right. With that in mind, it makes for a better understanding of the character in the series.

“Doona!” is a romantic drama series based on a beloved webtoon with the same title. The story centers around the experiences of Lee Doona, a former idol as she encounters Lee Wonjun, a regular college student, in a shared living arrangement. The series is now streaming on Netflix.

“In my early twenties, I didn’t have the chance to truly understand or express my pain like Doona,” she continued. “My emotions were bottled up, unlike Doona, who allows herself to experience her emotions fully, even when they’re painful. Doona also isn’t afraid to show her somewhat malicious side that intentionally speaks harsh words. Ironically, this side of her persona is what makes acting thrilling.”

But what if Suzy went through the same thing as Doona, choosing college life over her career? The “Vagabond” star jokingly stated that it would have been enjoyable.

“I think I would have lived quite well, enjoying life perhaps more than most,” she said.
