that Shinhye is currently endorsing. In Hong Kong, the products are sold
through cosmetics chain SASA. As the spokes-model, Shinhye came to Hong Kong to
promote the newest line of Dr.G products – ‘Aquasis’
On April 19th, The press conference was held at the SASA
flagship store in the touristy Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Before the event
started, a filming crew from Korea, who was responsible for filming a
documentary of Shinhye, interviewed fans at the entrance of SASA and asked them
why they like Shinhye. Everyone complimented on Shinhye’s acting skills, beauty
and personality.
At 2:30, the MC of the press conference came out and started introducing the brand Dr. G. After a while, Shinhye came out!! She was dressed in a white blouse and sky-blue skirt and blue heels. She greeted everyone smiled radiantly at cameras. Then she noticed the fans and waved with a cute smile. She was stunning!
Shinhye introduced herself and said that she was very happy
to be in Hong Kong since it was her first visit here.
Then, the president of Dr.G and a team of Dr.G executives
joined Shinhye on stage for a product-launch ceremony. They poured some
‘Aquasis water’ into the prototype product and took a group photo together.
When asked by the MC what does she think of Hong Kong,
Shinhye said she thinks Hong Kong is beautiful but it was a pity that it rained
nonstop during her visit. She went to
the Peak in hopes of seeing the famous night scenery, but failed to as it was
foggy. During her stay, she went to eat dim sum and she especially like the buns.
The MC complimented Shinhye’s lovely skin and told her to
give some beauty tips. Shinhye said she drinks at least 8 cups of water per day
and exercises regularly. Her favorite sport is riding bicycle. At night when
she sleeps, she always has a glass of water by her bedside to increase the
moisture in the air so as to prevent dry skin.
At some point of the event, the MC and Shinhye talked about
drama ‘You’re Beautiful’ and SASA invited three models dressed up like Minam on
stage. Shinhye did a live demo of some products on the models.
After that, it was time for interviews by media. Shinhye
talked about her favorite Chinese celebrity – Jay Chou and said that she’s a
big fan of his movie ‘Secret’. She also mentioned that she will be taking a new
movie project in May, 2012. The details of the movie will be announced in late
April.
One reporter asked if Shinhye knew her good friend Hongki
from FTisland came to Hong Kong last week. Shinhye said she hasn't contacted
Hongki for quite a while so she didn't know he was here until she read the
news.
