YoonA's Ceci March issue Interview
Q: When I see you in real life I realised your voice belongs to the medium low range. It is pretty surprising
A:Right? Because regardless of photoshoot or on stage performing, I am mostly responsible for the cute ‘role’ so most of the people thought of me as girly. Actually when it come to singing, i also like medium low range parts and in photoshoots, I prefer more boyish concept. So there is a really huge gap between my image and the real me. In ‘Prime Minister & I’, the role Nam Da Jung has a very outgoing personality which is very similar to me in real life. I acted this role very comfortably. Because it is a refreshing image to the audience, I was hoping it can extend for few more episodes, so i have some regrets.
Q: The main leads are responsible for leading the shows, are you slightly more used to it now?
A: As of now I don’t think I am of the capacity to do so, the people I worked with, Kwon sang woo oppa, Jang Geun suk oppa, Lee Bum Soo sunbaenim are friendly and caring colleagues who regardless of during or outside filming provide me with alot of help. I am slowly accumulating experience from relying and learning from the sunbaes. The director of this drama said: “There is definitely a small yet significant difference between having experience as a main lead before or not”, to this I totally agreed. I feel I had a slightly better grasp of controlling the whole pace and process of the drama as the main lead. Also, everytime I can feel that concentration is really important too. I want to express different kind of feelings all to audience but I still don’t know how to go about doing. (Laugh) I guess I still have alot to learn and practise.
Q: In actual fact, Nam Da Jung’s emotions are mostly suppressed in ‘Prime Minister & I’. Do you agree?
A:When it come to love, Nam Da Jung is the type that will take care (of the other party) and is willing to make sacrifices. She is a very mature character. But I am still a kid in many ways.
Q: Is being mature a good thing?
A: I aren’t sure either. I feel like being mature is about knowing more things. Compared to being 20 years old, I like being 26 years old more. Of course, it could be because I am still young thats why I think this way. But what I am certain is, doing things that I can at appropriate ages is best and most beautiful. To me, because I am always deemed to have a pure image as I have always been portrayed in this way, but I feel I can do alot of changes now. Recently when doing photoshoots I am more inclined towards mannish concepts. Previously I have always show a more cutely look, whether it is because I am attracted by mannish concept or is it because I am always more into mannish concept, I am not sure either.
Q: I heard that the 2nd day after your drama filming ends is the filming day for new MV.
A: I totally don’t have time to linger for the ending. Making a comeback with SNSD, I always have the feeling that it is time to reveal the hidden me. The members also said things like “like YoonA”, “YoonA is finally coming back” I will also display even more aegyo towards the unnies while joking with them. And when they finally accept, I will also have the “im back” kind of feelings.
Q: On my questions’ paper, there is one such question on how to enjoy own time after the drama ends. This is such a silly question.
A: I can only kk. There is around 1 day of rest before CB. If it gets stressful I will also express it on my face and actions since I am just a human too. This kind of evaluation is depressing. But compared to throwing tantrums like that and ending up with no schedules, I prefer to have more schedules so i must always work hard with a rookie mindset.
Q: What kind of transformation will there be for SNSD comeback this time round?
A: The growth and maturity of each of the members? (Q: Do we need to be prepared to be caught by surprise?) I don’t think the shock level will be as high as IGAB. But i personally hope that everyone will be able to feel the charms of SNSD like in Genie or Hoot periods.
Q: The strong existance of SNSD into the 8th year is very meaningful in Korea music industry. Do you all look back occasionally too?
A: Of course. Recently looking at EXO, i will also think back of our past. Hanging together with EXO, we will also joke naturally saying things like “Don’t provoke them, there will be problems”. This is something that we once heard very oftenly. Sweeping awards and having amazing album sales, we will also have feelings like “We will like that too then”. Only when you have experience it, will we realise the energy we received from the loves of our fans. I hope we will spend our future like now. Having self-confidence and at the same time feeling contented.
Q: Can you define what do you mean when you said “Like YoonA” just now?
A: Recently, i have expressed way too rich emotions. (Laugh) When i am in a good mood, i will be very bubbly, when i am upset i will be extra quiet. I am also very affected by weather and music. When asked to pick on what to eat, i will be ‘very’ indecisive. When i said “anything” and the other party said “how about pizza?” I will said “I don’t really feel like eating pizza.. isn’t there any others” things like that. Even though there will be times the other party will throw temper and said things like ‘don’t eat then’, but i have difficulty in choosing what can i do! I once even thought of writing down the food that i feel like eating.
Q: What do you dislike most?
A: Making mistakes due to a strange combination of circumstances”! (Laugh) For example, when there are little amount of water left in the cup and i asked “Who want to drink water?” and when i drank it after no responses is given, there will be people there that say “Give me a sip”! Or arranging my stuffs according to the scheduled meeting time, and when the appointment got cancelled or delayed, i will be moody (Q: Did anyone said that you are temperamental?) Hmm… compared to saying like this, i think it will be better to say i have rich emotions (Laugh)
Q: You don’t use SNS, fans are a bit sad.
A: During drama filming this time round, i am also hesitating alot on whether i should open one or not. Not only fans in Korea, but fans from all over Asia came to the set of filming to give me support, I wanted to greet and thank everyone. But i am not sure now, as i am afraid of mistakes. As of now, i am contented with updating through official site and appearing occasionally on members’ SNS. Hope fans will be able to understand.
Q: You are 25 years old now, right in the mid of the twenties. How have you been doing?
A: I am half way to 50 (Laugh) I don’t have huge regrets so far, so i think i am living really well. In the past, i have always depend on my luck and the positive reviews that i have accumulated previously, so right now i want to depend on myself to gain reviews. Even if i only have 60 marks but when i am together with the members i feel like i have 100 marks. Right now it has reached to the point that i want to show the 60marks of me regardless of what. I want to improve and accumulate as much as possible. And it is also the time to look at me realistically.
Q: Are you looking at yourself with even calm feelings?
A: Possible. Because the parts that i once thought “it is still alright”, i feel that it is “insufficient” now. The time that i stop giving myself too much slack started when ‘Love Rain’ ended. It was a turning point to my own satisfaction. Because it was a period full of thoughts, i was also hurt and i have also experienced that i have grow up by a level. The things i need to work harder and put more efforts to think have increased too. Because i am the type that even if i plan beforehand it is hard to realise it. (Q:Do you think you give rated yourself too low?) Yes! That’s why i cannot use SNS. I am worried i will be too straightforward. (Laugh)
Q: When is the turning point for YoonA?
A: During Gee promotion period when i was 20 years old. I acted in ‘You Are My Destiny’ and that was my prime time. (Laugh) The second turning point is when i displayed a new image through ‘Prime Minister & I’ I hope in the year of horse which is also my zodiac will bring me good luck
Q: What is the thing you want to do the most in Spring 2014?
A: Hmm.. I want to exercise well. (Laugh) Ah! i want to watch more movies. During spring time i caught ‘Frozen’ to keep up with the trend. And as expected it feels so good to go in a cinema after so lo. I have many movies that i want to watch. First of all, the next one i want to watch most is ‘About Time’. (note: YoonA did this interview before she went to watch About Time and mentioned on her recent UFOs if you can recall) I am someone who love romantic movies.
