1. Do 你 like the stage concept of 'I Got A Boy'?
- It's been a long time since the last time taking off high heels. I like it ve~ry much. It doesn't feel tireing at all dancing. I admired male singers 'ah, so male singers are like this'. Looks like I will request not to wear heels for our 下一个 album too.
2. What are the similarities and differences between the responses of SNSD and the public to the new song?
- The similarity is that compared to just listening to the song, 你 find 更多 charms when watching the stage performance.
The 评论 on lyrics varied. Personally I like lyrics that has a clear theme, I have confidence in our song. I hope that we'll have 更多 lyrics that can be listened 由 the side of ears.
3. 你 have revealed your dream to hold talk shows in many interviews. Usually, are 你 interested in knowing people?
- I have much interest and I enjoy conversations. If something that affects my mood happens, it makes a difference whether sharing of thoughts has conveyed my thoughts. "Did 你 care about what I just said?", when I asked this, I receive this reply "In fact I did care, thanks for telling me this'.
In these situations, I feel the power of communication. It's especially strong when I'm with members.
To me, SNSD is not somewhere that simply provides money 或者 fame. It is a place where we have lessons in life. It's a place where we adjust everything initially in conflict one 由 one, until we embrace one another. 你 can never find lessons as good as these elsewhere. I learn most things in a little society named SNSD.
4. If 你 are to invite one guest from SNSD to be the guest of your talk show, who will 你 invite?
-Tiffany. She's a friend who has a really dramatic life. Being through so much, she can be either depressed 或者 a realist, she is like a character in movies. It's amazing. So much that I want to take up the same challanges as her.
5. It's been 7 years since debut. What are the differences between Sooyoung at 18 and 24 years old?
- I can do things 更多 easily now. Should I say that goals became clearer? When I was 18 perhaps because of my young age, I was aggressive and daring. I had many ambitions. Now, not all my ambitions can be realised, and I knew that these are not necessary to me. Seems like as I walk on slowly, I can better look at my surroundings.
6. What are the things that did not changed compared to then?
- Being the youngest kid of my family. My parents taught me strictly, "No matter how famous 你 are, 你 are still the youngest child of the house." Sometimes I want to throw tantrums that I can't throw outside, I want to do it as I wish, caring about no one. But they strictly disallowed that. At first I thought, "Our house is the only place where I can share everything freely, this is too much.", but now, it's something that makes me feel most grateful towards my mum and dad.
7. Is there something that 你 wish to change if 你 could go back to the past?
- There's nothing that I want to change. Back then, I did nothing wrong too. I just feel bad thinking of the past. (CECI: Were 你 a hot tempered person back then?) I was rather a slowpoke (Sooyoung described herself as a bear). I think that an artiste who doesn't know how to manage his 或者 her expressions are pure people in real life. Someone who doesn't know how to pretend. I was one of the examples. However, to think from the perspective of an artiste, it somehow makes people who are looking are me uncomfortable, so I thought it's in fact a wrong attitude. Although being a little 更多 like a 狐狸 might be better, I liked the Sooyoung who knew nothing, just Sooyoung.
8. 你 are in the middle of your 20s. When are 你 realising your age?
- Recently! I came to understand why my mum always says 'We did this back then' happily. I miss the days in 'Reply 1997'. So much that I can cry. As machines become smarter, humans have less thoughts. (CECI: 你 can think of this after your 30s) That's why! (laughs) I like the days where we wrote hand-written letters and typed on pagers. Looks like I'm really getting old now.
9. Is there something good about being old?
- Compared to the past, I feel that my words have heavier weight now. That's why I have 更多 sense of responsibility.
10. What is the thing that 你 wish to do the most when spring comes?
- I want to go on a 日期 riding a bicycle. Bicycle is an easy task, but date... (laughs)
