Quotes

“I don’t ever want to erase the fact that I was part of the girl group Girl’s Day, nor do I have any power to do it. If I erase that, there isn’t any part of me left.”

“[The Girls’ Day members] are my colleagues, my friends, my unforgettable family.”

“Sometimes people ask me if I’m worried that my time as a girl group member might earn me the label of an [incompetent] actor. I’m sad that they view this part of my life negatively.”

“Girl’s Day was, and is the foundation of everything I do. If given the chance, I would like for us to get together again and sing on stage. We still share various parts about our lives together, the four of us. When any of us start a new project, we like to get together to talk about it. Due to the pandemic, however, we couldn’t meet each other as much as we liked, but we share whatever good news that comes our way. The members were very happy for me [that I received an award].”
