Quotes
“For a period of over three months, I only focused on working on this [solo] album. I discussed the hairstyle, makeup and outfit concept for every song with the visual team.”
“I really like animals. Among them I really like dogs. Human relationships are the most difficult thing in life. I have a lot of worries about that too.”
“I wanted to express my feelings about the moments and people that are actually precious once you realize it although they pass by without much thought.”
“I wanted to do more things on my own, but originally I was scared and didn’t like going outside of my house. But I made up my mind and tried things I hadn’t done before. One of those things was getting a driver’s license.”
“I like that phrase, ‘living one month in the future.’ Should I now refer to this year as ‘last year?’ I turned 25 [Korean age] in 2020, but because of COVID-19, I didn’t make that many memories. I don’t know if it’s because of those regrets, or because I’m living one month in the future in this magazine shoot, but I don’t feel ready to be 26 yet. I haven’t even stopped to consider the number ‘2021.’””
