Hey. What’s everyone up to? Since I’m a little sleepy, I might act a bit comfortable in my speech so I apologize for that. It’s been a while...
ツ -- Okay, I have decide to come out and become a social bug. Forgive if I speak nonsense, working twelve hours straight has that kind of affect on a person. But I promise you I’m up for the time being.
Going off dash for now but I still really want to form lots of new friendships and have actual threads on AIM! Doesn't matter if we've never talked before just jump into things (or we can plot either way is good) -- m.inaring !! Or you can leave yours and I'll add you instead!
(( I really want Mina to interact and thread with more people on AIM, so if anyone is up and willing for it, please message her: m.inaring ; or leave your AIM here so she can come bother you! I'm willing to plot pre-established relationships, too! ))
Hello? Let's do the friendship thing? Heh.
IDOLLECTIVE ✕ CD [ JANUARY ]
Individual skill?
"I can turn my hands in 360 degrees. That counts right? Ah.. what else? I'm a pretty good at counselling other people's worries. Is it considered an individual skill? Other than that, there's my skills on singing in which I'm still honing to become a great musician. I also play a few instruments like the guitar, recorder, drums and piano."
Something you would like to challenge?
"Probably new things that are outside my comfort zone. I have a very low confidence and trying out new things scare me. So I'm challenging myself to overcome that fear and take things on a higher level."
What gives you inspiration?
"Music, books and movies. I have also started putting in my personal experiences in my works. Sometimes, I'd like to listen to other people's stories then try to channel their thoughts and emotions and produce something out of it. The scenery helps a lot too."
Any habits when you’re making music?
"I always have a little notepad with me just in case my muse hits me out of the blue in which happens quite often and in scattered times."
What music and other activities do you wish to do in the future?
"I'd like to find my own sound. I am slowly finding my way to be a better musician and had been studying and learning a lot of things from my seniors and colleagues. As for dramas and movies, I'd like to try a melodramatic theme, or maybe a horror genre? A spy movie sounds nice too but it takes a lot of training. Ah, I want to try a lot of things! Acting is really fun for me."
Ability you wish to have?
"I'm not sure if this is called an 'ability' but I want to be smart and honest yet look lovely at the same time. It's hard to be both but In Na unnie pulls it up effortlessly so I want to be like her too."
idlc: character development.
INDIVIDUAL SKILL?
singing, that's the most I can do. I don't think I can live without it and even if I am to be born again, I'll still be singing. I really feel like it's destined for me to have this precious gift. you can say, I can dance but I'm not much of an expert. also, I play football.. well if that's a skill then yeah. well I just remembered, I learned to play the guitar too way back when I was casted in a musical, just not sure if I still can. though I have a secret skill, and that is making my arms go around 360 degrees. /insert hysterical laugh here/ okay wait, did you hear that laugh? yeah I have that ahjumma laugh too which makes people around me crack up and be happy. I guess that's a 2-in-1 skill, the laugh itself and making people happy.
SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHALLENGE?
I'd like to challeng myself more on playing musical instruments. maybe playing an instrument while singing would give a lot more feelings to my performances. I'm satisfied with how I sing but it would be better if I improve. it's good to beat yourself tbh.
WHAT GIVES YOU INSPIRATION?
my family, mainly my parents. they have helped me and supported me eversince I was little. the girls as well, my members are the one who brightens up my day whenever I feel down or troubled. they never fail me, just as I expected. great artists I get to see when performing, they give me inspiration. I don't know they give off different vibe that gets me inspired. and of course, the sones. whenever I hear their loud chants and cheers, I always get energized and feel inspired to do better each time.
ANY HABITS WHEN YOU’RE MAKING MUSIC?
habits? I'm not particularly sure about this one but maybe just being still as I listen or make music. I sometimes nod my head slightly when I record stuff for my music. rubbing the back of my neck from time to time while I write, I almost forgot. I thought maybe in that way I can be more relaxed and think of more nice words to put together.
WHAT MUSIC DO YOU WISH TO DO IN THE FUTURE?
right now I focus more on ballads. since I sing OSTs for dramas or movies, I tend to be into that often. and pop as well because of course I'm a part of a kpop girl group. but if I'd choose something in the future, I would wanna try r&b. it sounds really interesting and I heard some people saying I should do it in the future so I guess that's what I wanna try.
ABILITY YOU WISH TO HAVE?
ability? idk if it should be a realistic one but I have several things in mind. it's not really obvious but I've been thinking about playing the piano. it's like one of my goals for a while now. I wish to play it someday. coming from a singer, I actually think rapping is pretty cool so I wanna try it even just once, though I don't think I'll be successful in that one. meh, it's just a wish so no big deal. the unrealstic one would be flying or teleporting. I wanna travel the world without hassle so that's a nice idea, I guess.
IDOLLECTIVE: January Interview
Individual skill? I can do INFINITE-sunbaenim's Scorpion Dance-- Hehe. Ah, but truly, if it's a personal talent, then the only thing I can say that I'mm proud of is my bass guitar playing. Truthfully, I do still have a lot to learn and improve on, but it's something that I'm really proud of being able to do.
Something you would like to challenge? Ah, I'm very greedy. I've ventured into acting and I want to keep trying that, and hopefully improve as I go on--in the process also getting bigger roles! But at the same time I really would love to be able to go on more variety shows as well, especially ones where I can play games and meet other people in the industry. I also want to try being a radio DJ, and and MC and-- ha. You get it, I'm a very greedy person, especially since through all this, I still want to keep being with AOA. and challenge the path to becoming the nation's top girl group!
What gives you inspiration? Family, friends, seniors.
Any habits when you’re making music? I'm not sure if I can answer this, or if I'm fit to answer this. When we were trainees, we had music composing classes. Until now, we do, but I've chosen to focus on other things (right now, acting), so... I still try to write lyrics every now and then though, would that count under this? When I do that, I listen to music, so I guess that's my habit. Truthfully, any activity that I do alone I tend to be listening to music when I do it. Makes it all feel less lonely.
What music do you wish to do in the future? Well, apart from that I want to come back as the band unit in the near future, I would really love it if AOA can have a hip-hop concept!!
Ability you wish to have? I want to get better at singing, and at making music, to be honest. I know I'm labelled as a singer, but I'm very well aware that I have a long way to go when it comes to those aspects.
