Quotes

“If I keep moving my body, my mind starts to empty. If I hike up a mountain when I’m having a difficult time, my mind finds peace in that moment.”

“When I’m alone it’s annoying to prepare something extravagant. I’m the type to cook up some beef or avocado and enjoy it with a glass of wine. I also eat fruit or nuts.”

“As a member of the girl group, I was always so busy. I didn’t have any time for relationships. There was no time to step back and ask myself, ‘How do I actually feel?’ I was too hard on myself, believing that my skills would deteriorate if I were to take a break. My biggest fear, at that time, was falling behind my competitors.”

“When I was working as a singer, everything was happening so fast. As an actor, I feel more relaxed.”

“I try to take breaks between jobs, and I love to travel during my free time. As it’s difficult to take an overseas trips due to COVID-19, I enjoy traveling to Jeju Island or Namhae in South Gyeongsang Province.”

“I like to see new places and meet the local people there. When I visit lesser-known places, people don’t recognize me. I feel comfortable because they treat me just like everyone else.”
