~♥ SOOYOUNG ♥~

1. Do আপনি like the stage concept of 'I Got A Boy'?
- It's been a long time since the last time taking off high heels. I like it ve~ry much. It doesn't feel tireing at all dancing. I admired male singers 'ah, so male singers are like this'. Looks like I will request not to wear heels for our পরবর্তি album too.

2. What are the similarities and differences between the responses of SNSD and the public to the new song?
- The similarity is that compared to just listening to the song, আপনি find আরো charms when watching the stage performance.
The মতামত on lyrics varied. Personally I like lyrics that has a clear theme, I have confidence in our song. I hope that we'll have আরো lyrics that can be listened দ্বারা the side of ears.

3. আপনি have revealed your dream to hold talk shows in many interviews. Usually, are আপনি interested in knowing people?
- I have much interest and I enjoy conversations. If something that affects my mood happens, it makes a difference whether sharing of thoughts has conveyed my thoughts. "Did আপনি care about what I just said?", when I asked this, I receive this reply "In fact I did care, thanks for telling me this'.
In these situations, I feel the power of communication. It's especially strong when I'm with members.
To me, SNSD is not somewhere that simply provides money অথবা fame. It is a place where we have lessons in life. It's a place where we adjust everything initially in conflict one দ্বারা one, until we embrace one another. আপনি can never find lessons as good as these elsewhere. I learn most things in a little society named SNSD.

4. If আপনি are to invite one guest from SNSD to be the guest of your talk show, who will আপনি invite?
-Tiffany. She's a friend who has a really dramatic life. Being through so much, she can be either depressed অথবা a realist, she is like a character in movies. It's amazing. So much that I want to take up the same challanges as her.

5. It's been 7 years since debut. What are the differences between Sooyoung at 18 and 24 years old?
- I can do things আরো easily now. Should I say that goals became clearer? When I was 18 perhaps because of my young age, I was aggressive and daring. I had many ambitions. Now, not all my ambitions can be realised, and I knew that these are not necessary to me. Seems like as I walk on slowly, I can better look at my surroundings.

6. What are the things that did not changed compared to then?
- Being the youngest kid of my family. My parents taught me strictly, "No matter how famous আপনি are, আপনি are still the youngest child of the house." Sometimes I want to throw tantrums that I can't throw outside, I want to do it as I wish, caring about no one. But they strictly disallowed that. At first I thought, "Our house is the only place where I can share everything freely, this is too much.", but now, it's something that makes me feel most grateful towards my mum and dad.

7. Is there something that আপনি wish to change if আপনি could go back to the past?
- There's nothing that I want to change. Back then, I did nothing wrong too. I just feel bad thinking of the past. (CECI: Were আপনি a hot tempered person back then?) I was rather a slowpoke (Sooyoung described herself as a bear). I think that an artiste who doesn't know how to manage his অথবা her expressions are pure people in real life. Someone who doesn't know how to pretend. I was one of the examples. However, to think from the perspective of an artiste, it somehow makes people who are looking are me uncomfortable, so I thought it's in fact a wrong attitude. Although being a little আরো like a শিয়াল might be better, I liked the Sooyoung who knew nothing, just Sooyoung.

8. আপনি are in the middle of your 20s. When are আপনি realising your age?
- Recently! I came to understand why my mum always says 'We did this back then' happily. I miss the days in 'Reply 1997'. So much that I can cry. As machines become smarter, humans have less thoughts. (CECI: আপনি can think of this after your 30s) That's why! (laughs) I like the days where we wrote hand-written letters and typed on pagers. Looks like I'm really getting old now.

9. Is there something good about being old?
- Compared to the past, I feel that my words have heavier weight now. That's why I have আরো sense of responsibility.

10. What is the thing that আপনি wish to do the most when spring comes?
- I want to go on a তারিখ riding a bicycle. Bicycle is an easy task, but date... (laughs)
