Quotes

“I hope to continue to make precious memories with our fans and to become an artist with a memorable voice through my future works in music.”

“Apink had a lot of worries starting when we became seventh-year idols. A lot of idols who are my age will be able to relate to this. We’re really young. But people treat us like we’re used, just because we have so many years of experience. There are a lot of times when people look at us like we almost have no potential left now.”

“If you keep doing the same thing, then it seems like you’re not changing at all. At the same time, if you do change, then people lately are likely to say, ‘I liked your previous concept more. Why did you change your concept?’”

“I believe success is up to how you set your mindset. I think it’s up to you to decide which moments are successful moments, and I’m still trying to find my own definition of success at this time when I have succeeded in some things and am currently working towards other successes.”

“Even when I’m at my worst, listening to songs has always been my way of running away from bad thoughts. I remember when I didn’t want to listen to something, I would just put my earphones in and pretend I didn’t hear.”
