I’ll show you a lot of strong leadership!

Q.
How do you feel when your debut was confirmed?
I feel a pressure and excited at the same time. And more than anything, the thought of “I could be on stage with my own song” makes me happy.
Q.
Do you have pose that you practiced before the (MV) filming?
I practiced sitting poses a lot. I am not able to squat down. I think I did a lot of research to see if there’s any unique poses to do while sitting and practicing to keep my body from shaking.
Q.
First MV filming!
Do you have any memorable moments ?
The first shoot was a solo shoot, I was literally frozen at that time. I remembered that I missed my members (crying)
Our song, that usually only played in our practice room, then hearing it play at the filming set and seeing the staff humming to our song, it made me proud and happy.
Q.
What are your future plans and dreams?
I want to become an artist who bring happiness to someone. Even it’s only one person who is comfort because of us and hearing “I want to become an artist like aespa”, I think I would be happy.

Sometimes I heard that my first impression are arrogant and cold (crying).
I am a cute person with a lot of aegyo and bright charms!
Please give me a lot of love.
Q.
How do you feel when your debut was confirmed?
It still feels like a dream. At that time, everything did not seem real, I kept focused on the fact that I had to work hard.
Q.
Do you have pose that you practiced before the (MV) filming?
Instead doing nothing, I practiced.
I have a habit touching my hair.
If I had to shoot 50 cuts for diverse poses, I practiced touching my hair only 3 times!
But it doesn’t always happen (crying)
Q.
First MV filming!
Do you have any memorable moments ?
I still remember the feeling when I took my first solo shot.
Of course, the image shown with the members is the most importan but,
I felt nervous and excited that I should show myself well since I’m the only one who takes the individual shot.

I will work hard and meet you as soon as possible, hold a concert, and meet our fans from various countries❤

Since it’s my first time,
There are some parts that looks awakward, so I tried my best to look as natural as possible.
