~♥ SOOYOUNG ♥~

1. Do you 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 seguinte 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, you find mais charms when watching the stage performance.
The comments on lyrics varied. Personally I like lyrics that has a clear theme, I have confidence in our song. I hope that we'll have mais lyrics that can be listened por the side of ears.

3. You have revealed your dream to hold talk shows in many interviews. Usually, are you 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 you 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 or fame. It is a place where we have lessons in life. It's a place where we adjust everything initially in conflict one por one, until we embrace one another. You can never find lessons as good as these elsewhere. I learn most things in a little society named SNSD.

4. If you are to invite one guest from SNSD to be the guest of your talk show, who will you invite?
-Tiffany. She's a friend who has a really dramatic life. Being through so much, she can be either depressed or 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 mais 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 you are, you 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 you wish to change if you 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 you 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 or 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 mais like a raposa might be better, I liked the Sooyoung who knew nothing, just Sooyoung.

8. You are in the middle of your 20s. When are you 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: You 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 mais sense of responsibility.

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