What is your no.1 interest these days?
I visit places full of memories
Listen to old songs
Watch old movies
I guess I like that vibe
What do you think your most attractive feature is?
In terms of physical appearance, my eyes?
There are not many people with single eyelid than I thought
So I would choose my eyes
You still cannot wink?
Wink?
I got a lot better
I can stay like this
And also I can blink like this
Could you introduce your skincare routine?
Lately my skin got bad a little
I use the mildest moisturizer
I tend to get more troubles if I apply too many products on my skin
So, a mild moisturizer!
What’s your favorite movie genre?
I like romantic comedy,
And I think I like movies that are visually pleasing
What’s the last movie you watched?
Movie called and
?
Have you watched it?
I wonder how slender your fingers are Could you show us your best pose with your hand?
Rather than this side, this side is better
It looks slenderer to show the palm than the back of my hand
It’s hard to find rings in my size
They all fall off when I dance on stage
So I sometimes wrap some bandage around my fingers to wear rings
What perfume do you wear the most?
I don’t use perfumes a lot
The scent of a moisturizer?
I prefer the scent of a moisturizer
Sometimes I put on perfumes which my fans gave me as a gift
Depending on my mood
But I don’t think I have a favorite
What’s your favorite RED VELVET title track?
I like songs like ‘Psycho’ and ‘Bad Boy’
Your favorite karaoke song?
When I was really young, I always used to sing ‘Bakkwo’ by Lee JungHyun
Can you share one tip to dress well?
I try to use similar shades
To dress tone-on-tone
How about shoes?
For example, if there is a hint of yellow in my clothes,
I would not put on yellow shoes when there is too much yellow
But if there is a little bit of yellow, it would be okay to put on a pair of yellow shoes
Tone-on-tone styling like this?
Which fashion item are you obsessed with these days?
I was trying to put on some socks,
And I found out that I only have socks either in black or white
There are a lot of pretty socks in the market
So I bought some cute socks with different patterns
Have you ever searched for your name on the internet?
When we do a performance on stage
Or when I am on a TV show I monitor them.
Recently I had a lot of free time
So I searched for ‘Red Velvet’ and saw all the things that came out
My fans make a lot of memes of me
About what I said, and how I said it, how I laughed
I think I searched for my name because I was curious about those things
What’s your favorite food?
I used to eat Huoguo a lot
I think I like warm food these days
Are you still searching for good restaurants? Can you share one with us?
There is one place
That I would like to recommend
I hope I am the only one who knows about this place
There is a restaurant called ‘Bokmanru’ near Haebangchon
Famous for Gyo-dong-style spicy noodles
I haven’t found a better place than Bokmanru
What did you cook most recently?
There is a thing called ‘Gaejorim’
This menu only exists in my family
I haven’t seen it anywhere else
You put large green onion, garlic, carrot, Cheongyang chili, red chili
together with trimmed crabs and boil them down in soy sauce
It’s hard to explain…..
And then you need to simmer it on low heat for 20 minutes
What’s your favorite winter snack?
Hoppang!(steamed bun)
I like the one with vegetables, as well as the version with red beans
It’s too much work to make them at home
It’s a really good snack which you can get from a convenience store
When it gets cold
Is there any ballad song you listen to when you are down?
‘Flowerpot’! by Alex
I felt really sad listening to the lyrics
What would you want to film if you were to create a YouTube channel?
Just my daily life
I also wonder about myself
I want to put up observation cameras,
And see what my life is like
I didn’t think that I do much things
But people say
That I am very busy doing a lot of things
You said you were practicing your guitar. How’s it going?
Actually I tried it the other day
And I thought ‘I should see my teacher again’
My nails stick out even if I cut them close
So it’s hard to grab the strings
I should have more calluses on my fingers
Now they have gone a lot
I will practice more and show you guys
A lot of idols mentioned that they want to collaborate with you Which artist would you like to collaborate with in the future?
For me, I want to collaborate with senior artists in our own company
There are a lot of great artists
Welcome anyone!
3 things you would bring to a deserted island?
A mobile phone,
Would it work?
Fire! It would be necessary
What should I bring to survive?
Knife? Tools like that?
Is there any genre you want to challenge as an artist?
I am not that good at filming
But I want to make videos expressing what’s on my mind
Fighting!
