[INTERVIEW] Yoojin sits down with ‘Bazaar’ for a sophisticated and classy look!
Yoojin looks beautiful with the professional black trendy outfits for the cover of April’s Bazaar. Downing a rather natural and glowing makeup with the look, the model-turned-singer shared the up and downs in her life throughout her career.
Q: How do you feel debuting as a singer despite knowing as ‘Yoojin the Model’ or ‘Yoojin the Entertainer’? A: I honestly was super nervous about re-debuting again but the outcome was better than what I expected. I was really shocked when I gained top 10 on the charts with the debut since there’s a lot of other talented singers that made a comeback alongside with me. I’m thankful nonetheless to the public and especially my fans for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to revive a long dream of mine.
Q: Since we know you had worked with a few celebrities before, how does it feel to finally produce your own music? Is it different when you create them for other artists? A: It’s not that much difference but since I had to match a specific genre and colour of my clients, it is more difficult to deal with since I thought for a long time on what will suit them and all while when it’s for me, I have more freedom in order to create music that I like as I already know where I want to take myself in the music industry. Nonetheless, I think doing both of is fun to me!
Q: Talking about your music, where do you think your career will be going from now on? Will you still be modelling on the runaway? A: My career will be more focused on my music obviously as I have to take care of my agency as well plus I’m doing what I’ve honestly wanted to do but I still love being in the entertainment industry! Although I don’t think I will appear much on variety show anymore, I still do modelling once in awhile. For now I want to focused on showing the singer side of Yoojin and shows everyone my capabilities in the music industry.
Q: What inspires you to write the songs in the ‘Ongoing Voicemail’ EP? Is it personal experiences or based on other stories? A: Ah! I think there are a mixed of everything. Not every songs that I wrote deprived from my own experience but sometimes I take ideas from the stuff I read or heard and wrote it down as if I’m experiencing them! (laughs) Sometimes I take ideas from films too. It depends on the situation honestly.
Q: Based on your last interview, you said that you like gentleman and soft spoken men, is your ideal type the same or has it change? A: (laughs) Why the sudden topic! But honestly, I think my ideal type has always been the same. I like warm and soft spoken men. Passionate men as well but as for physical type, I don’t think they matters to me that much as long as they have that aura that I like surrounding them.
Q: It seems that your ideal type has not yet change! Then how much has your life changed after you became a celebrity? Does the treatment becomes different after you become popular? A: Of course there’s a lot of change since I debuted but since I don’t go out that much and have been around the same people, there’s not much change except when I go anywhere, I have people recognizing me. Although it can be a burden sometimes, I take it positively as the public seems to be keen of my updates and keeping their attention to me still. I would like to use the influence to become a better example and a good rolemodel for the youngsters out there.
Q: Thank you for having us today! Last but not least, please convey a message to your fans and supporters out there. A: As always, I’m thankful for everyone that has been giving me a lot of love for the past few years. I will work hard to become a better artist and give a great content and music for the public in the future so I can become the cool producer and singer, Nam Yoojin. Thank you!
