©I really love singing. During shows, I would always go first saying "I will sing" even though no one asks me to. *laughs* As a girl group member on stage, I do not have many chances to sing an entire song alone.
Since you are now practicing pansori, your singing skills must have improved.
Yes, it really helps. It doesn't matter if I can do it or can't do it. I really want to learn from a skillful mentor. I don't care how the movie will fare, I have learned so many things in the process. *laughs*
You keep humming as you do the photoshoot, which song do you like most recently?
A: "Alone" by Dalchong. (takes out earpiece) Please listen to it once.
"Suzy's ballad song" feel is here.
It's worth it, right? I think I sang it for about 300 times today. *laughs*
When people heard I am doing an interview with you, the guys around me said they wanted to come as well with their eyes real big.
Haha, really?
You knew it yourself right? You're getting even prettier nowadays.
Me? I'm on a diet recently but I couldn't hold it in and ate rice cakes. *laughs* Maybe it's the baby fats that I am losing. That' why I am getting slender.
What do you do the first thing you wake up?
I would always look at the time. Since I can't hear the alarm, so setting it will be useless.
Are you living alone now?
Yes, I am staying in the dormitory alone. It's weird I can't hear the alarm, so manager oppa will always call the house phone.
Do you sleep a lot?
No, I don't. I don't take naps too. If I wake up early in the morning, I can't go back to sleep even if I do not have anything to do.
What do you do at that point in time?
Sing. *laughs*
You will get chased out by neighbors *laughs*
That's why after I become of legal age, I really wanted to get a driver's license. I want to turn the music full blast and drive. I practiced a lot too. I drive when I have time.
How long have you been driving?
A: It would be one year in the next two months.
You are driving well now, right?
I have been driving well since the beginning *laughs*
You know how to change lanes well then?
Yes, that's the basic isn't it?
Do you have a route you really like?
I will just drive and when the thought of going home comes to mind, I just go back. So the route I take every time is different.
Do you have anything other than driving you want to do after becoming an adult?
Having a cup of beer with my friends after finishing work, I love it the most.
Do you like beer?
As long as it's alcohol, I will like it.
Are you the type to have fried chicken with beer?
No, I am not. I don't really know how it taste.
Which types of dishes do you like to go with beer?
Taco wasabi. I like soups and something spicy. But if I eat those at night, I will swell the next day.
What do you do before you sleep?
I usually use the massaging machine for my legs and some exercises for my abdominal muscles. Just a little bit. And...I also like opening the fridge to take a look before going to bed.
Why do you do that?
Well...*laughs* It's a habit. My mom will ask me every time why I do it.
When do you need patience the most?
Those days I feel like drinking beer. My lesson (pansori perhaps) ends around 1 am but I have to film a photoshoot the next day, so I have to endure the struggle.
Then what about the times you want to play the most? There were such times at work right?
I still feel that it's tough even now. Especially when there is something delicious right in front of you! Things like pig trotter mom bought after going home from a day of filming. At that time, I have to fight with myself.
You're amazing. That's what you do in this field , isn't it? Times like "ah~ I don't care anymore" don't always come.
I belong to those kind of people who don't think too much before I do something. If I really want to do something, I will set my mind to it to succeed. There are also times when I just play without even sleeping. That's when I feel like I am living a meaningful life.
I am worried that you only do work but it's good to hear.
I usually come out and enjoy myself to regulate my life. By doing that, I feel more professional so it feels great. I don't just think about good things, I also think about implications of my actions. If I do it this way, will it have a big impact? Do things when it's time to do things, play when it's time to play. I am trying hard to live a stress-free life.
It took me 10 years in this industry to realized what you said, and it took you only 4 years.
Ah really? It's not really easy to put it into action. When you decided about something and put your heart into it, it is really important. When one's mentality wavers about his decision, work might become meaningless in a moment.
So the period of growth and success comes from overworking yourself too much.
Yeah, and because of those times, I will benefit today. Looking back, I don't really feel tired while working so hard. However today, if I work too hard, my body will give up. I have changed now. I will try to lead my life naturally.
Do you feel blessed right now?
I do, because I have what I wanted. If there is anyone I wanted to see, I can see the person right away. It becomes a memorable experience so I am enjoying it....but after thinking deeply, I am not happy these days.
Why all of a sudden?
I don't know. I feel the happiness just disappears. You understand, right? AH, I'm suddenly had a headache.
What are you afraid the most?
Losing someone precious to me. I feel so happy because of them, that's why I feel scared.

Two years ago, you had your own world (way of thinking). And I heard your thoughts are quite more mature compared to others who are of your age.
Come to think of it, I have become more serious than before (laughs). Before, I get surprised whenever I look at my old diary. That time I was really full of "fighting". But nowadays I tend to think more about this and that. That's why before/when I do something, I become really timid. I feel like I will cause trouble, I feel like I'll regret. There are just times where it's really hard for me to decide.
Suzy has been a trend lately, do you feel anxious? Or you just enjoy it.
I don't know about being a trend(laughs). Anyways, it seems like I'm in. I won't be able to continue receiving this much love all the time right? When else can I ever see this much love. Wherever I go, everyone does good(have good skills) so I have no choice but to do better. Honestly, I think that's very dangerous. That's why I tend to be more careful.

They say it ‘rare-item’. It’s the compound word of ‘rare’ and ‘item’.
When ‘miss A’s Suzy’s face is closed up a ‘rare-item’ is created.

"Have you zoomed in?"

"when seeing her closely"

"Where is any flaw?"
It was on 18th in last month. We met Suzy at a studio placed in Juseong-dong, Seoul.

Her step seems lighter than usual. Can you see her mouth corner slightly up?
It was the first day of her challenging to the fashion magazine cover shooting. She was chosen to decorate the September issue of ‘Grazia’. She was no longer the first love of the nation but a fashion icon.
‘Dispatch’ followed the cover girl challenge scene of Suzy.

"Suzy is a cover girl today~"

"Slightly nervous..."

"But confident~"
☞ Suzy’s first concept was being a ‘autumn goddess’.

Is she the ‘cutie’ Suzy? We could feel the maturity which didn’t exist before. Um, shall we say that she’s the standard of a lady? She gives a goddess atmosphere with tone-downed pink long dress. Her long straight hair also played a part in making the mood.

"Profound mood?"

"Like this?"

Finally, the cover shooting of Suzy started. Suzy stood beside an antique chair. She had free expression and poses. If the ‘mood goddess’ exists, maybe it would’ve descended to Suzy.

"Starting chicly"

"the wind only helps"

"this is why she’s the mood goddess"

The first shooting ended smoothly. She picked the costume for the next shooting by herself. Her choice was long dress this time again. She showed off chicness with unique flower-patterned dress.

"sight robber"

"She’s elegant this time, right?"

As time passed, she might have felt relaxed. Her poses and expressions varied more. She swept her hair and held up her skirt slightly. She looked at the camera intensely.
Wait a moment here. We release Suzy dressed in dresses.

"Are you ready?"

"Goddess of Autumn"

"Close-up?"

"Don’t pull too much~"

‘Lovely’ word cannot be missed out when Suzy is called. She matched skin-tone blouse with grey jacket and skirt. Her unique cute charm got exposed well.
We will give her a nickname called ‘pose vending machine’ from now on. She posed well whenever she looked at a camera. Her charms of being prim, haughty, chic, and vivid got exposed.

"Primly"

"Haughtily"

"being chic is also OK"
And

"reversal is also OK"
Suzy successfully finished her first cover girl challenge. She skillfully posed and gave expressions at any order. That is why people say Suzy~ Suzy.
This was the Korean Thanksgiving Day present from ‘STARCAST’ until here. Spend your holiday like Suzy~. The holiday without missing anything….

WARNING! This post is picture heavy! I love her interviews because she's always so honest, but I can't lie, her sadness and how serious she has become worries me. And I hope she won't pull a TOP/Taeyeon with her drinking aka drinking for forget her sadness/depression. And after the Ceci interview is done being translated I will also post it along with everything else ^^

Date: 2014-09-22 01:43 am (UTC)she always have been shy when it came to approaching others and creating friendships, but now everything is more difficult to her, and whenever she makes a new friend the media ruins it somehow. actually always has been close to yerin, the difference is that with yerin's debut and promotions she is able to see her more, the same about sunmi. right now i just hope that she has people there for her no matter what.

Date: 2014-09-22 02:01 am (UTC)honestly no idea, especially because she just started filming a sageuk movie which normally means the longer the hair the better.

Date: 2014-09-27 04:56 am (UTC)1. Wow, every single shot is gorgeous and I can't pick a favorite. Maybe the couch one? The burgundy suit-thing with black heels...? The long flowery dress she picked? ;__;
2. Her interview was very interesting (as always), but I can't help but be :( whenever I see her talk about her schedules and life. She's only two years older than me, and she's...under so much pressure and doing so much, I barely understand how she keeps up with it. I do hope she has some kind of support system (Sunmi, Yerin, etc.?). I don't know. I've been keeping up with her since before she got big (lol) with Dream High and she was basically my first bias...and just seeing how she's changed and matured over the years is really something.
