From coolsmurf's post in AllKPop
-- But frankly, who does Kim So Eun resemble more in real life between Hwang Bo Soo and Ga Eul?
Kim So Eun replied tactfully, "When I am with my friends, I resemble Hwang Bo Soo. When I am by myself, I am like Ga Eul. When I meet people whom I am seeing for the first time, I don't really talk much. And when they review my scenes on the camera, I am so shy that I can't even watch myself on camera."
-- When asked who is her ideal type among F4,
So Eun replied, "It's Goo Joon Pyo. He might look really perfect but surprisingly, he does have some flaws and areas where he could improve on. Guys like these look really charismatic to me. As for playboys like So Yi Jung, I will definitely not forgive them (smiles)."
An Interview with Kim So Eun

Q. "Boys Over Flowers" has finished filming. How do you feel?
A. "It feels like I am still in the middle of filming. Even though has finished filming, it feels like it hasn't. Even though it was tiring for 6 months... BoF was very popular, and I received a lot of popularity too. Thank you very much everyone."
Q. What is the most memorable thing?
A. "Because of BoF "Ga Eul-yang" has become my nickname (laughs). Even though at first I was a little sad about the name, but on one hand after fully absorbing the "Ga Eul" character I felt an intimacy to be called that so I felt happy. Also because I have received so much love with my nickname it has become a precious name to me and my other name. Sometimes even my family and friends would call me "Ga Eul-yang." (laughs)"
Q. You received a lot of love by as the "Seoul couple" with Kim Bum.
A. "In the drama Ga Eul and Yi Jeong's love line differed from the original Japanese work to create a beautiful love, and I was very happy because of that. "Seoul couple" is a pretty name to be coined as... I'm thankful we received so much support and love (laughs)."
Q. Lastly please say a few words to the fans.
A. "My fans who have given me so much love, I hope you will be healthy. I hope your days are filled with laughter. Now and in the future with everyone's support I will show you all a better side of me as well as my hard efforts. And today, tomorrow, everyday, thank you."
