[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Secret’s Song Jieun revealed that she currently prefers work over love.

The showcase for Song Jieun’s first mini album 25 was held on October 14 in Ilchi Art Hall in Cheongdam-dong.

When asked about dating, Song Jieun said, “I was recently asked, ‘Is work or love more important to you?’ when I was meeting with fans. Without hesitation I answered, ‘Work.’ I think I’m at an age where I enjoy work over love.”

Song Jieun said, “I’m so happy when I see the fans and audience enjoying my performance and songs. I think happiness that comes from work is important to me.”

She added, “One thing I would like to do as a 25 year old is taking a backpacking trip. I would also like to have tea time with other 25-year-olds and have conversations.”

Meanwhile, Song Jieun’s first mini album 25 has ranked high on the music charts as soon as it was released on October 14. The title song 25 has a catchy melody and provocative lyrics about the line between a girl and a woman.

Money isn't the only benefit of work though. You can get a personal sense of achievement and growth from work as well.

"I think I’m at an age where I enjoy work over love.”

i get where she's coming from. This is me atm.
I am working hard to earn, save, settle student loan and spend my money. I'll find love later.

I totally understand! I'm working hard to earn too and to develop myself and all of these give me a sense of fulfillment. People are like, "Why don't you find yourself a boyfriend?!" but tsk, different people have different outlook in life. To me, when love comes, it will come and I'll embrace it when it comes.

I get where she's coming from. She's doing what she loves - singing - so work for her is personally fulfilling. If she meets someone along the way, that's great. But it's not her sole focus.

And I want to go on a backpacking trip too. That would be awesome.

[aneeleniffum.livejournal.com]

I totally understand you girl. Go for it. Chase your dreams. Find love when you're ready for it.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

if you're passionate about what you do, it's perfectly fine to pursue work over love.

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

completely understandable. i feel the same way, and i'm in my late 20s.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I'm in my late 20s too and I don't feel like settling down at all. It's very awkward when you meet your friends and most of them are either in established relationships and some of them even married with babies, but I prefer focusing in my career and my personal achievement right now. I know many people combine both their career and their relationship/family but I just don't feel like being in a relationship rn despite being at the typical marriage/having the first kid age.

same for me, you do you girlfriend

[donutism.livejournal.com]

Totally understand where she is coming from. Part of me delaying finding a boyfriend is that I am not looking to settle any time soon, and I don't have the time and energy to deal with family once I get one.

Yas bb gurl, get that money, fame and personal happiness (★^O^★)

[eesor.livejournal.com]

ia with her 100%. i'm just entering early 20s but rn, i'm more into building a career than finding love. people keep pestering me about when i'll ever find a bf (their initial question is usually, are you a lesbian? then followed by why do i have not a bf?)

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

I'm 21 and I get the same thing asked. I just tell them then" it will happen when it happens" and "im in no rush:

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I can't believe you get asked that when you're only in your very early 20s tbh. I still felt like a teen at that age lol. I get asked that a lot but because I'm in my late 20s and that's the typical settling down age but early 20s, really? That's the typical partying age ffs lol.

[arysthaeniru.livejournal.com]

Yasss, you go girl. I agree with her in many ways...but I do hope this doesn't come to haunt her if she does decide to date....

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Same. I have been single for more than a year now and some friends are getting desesperate ("but you're still alone? not even a friend with benefits? what are you doing? when are you finding someone come onnnn") but I'm almost 25, I have just started a job in a new town... I don't need love. I need archievement, I need to secure my position in the company, I need to make friends. Love will come after (or if it comes before, whatever, it's fine)
It's just not my priority at the moment
I wish her success with her work, I love her voice, I want to hear more from her (:

the mature adult beautiful young and free WOMAN i love her

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's an exact age for work and another for love, you can even combine both like lots of people do, but I can see where she's coming from. Not everyone feels like being in a relationship. I'm a few years older than her and I don't have any intention of settling down any time soon either. Sometimes I think that being in a relationship would be very nice and I feel a bit envious of my friends in established relationships, but then I enjoy my freedom too much so it's like nah. I honestly don't understand those 17-19 y/o already in relationships but w/e. To each their own.
I'm surprised she said the age thing tho. I thought in Korea 25 was already considered marriage age or something.

[dio-elaclaire.livejournal.com]

smart girl.

[hellociara.livejournal.com]

There is still this part of me that wants to be in a relationship, but I do think that focusing on you (your career, passion, ect.) during your twenties is important. I want to become more assure of myself and who I am and what I want and travel and do all sorts of things, so I am grateful that I'm not in a relationship right now. Plus, I feel that I need to get me together in order to be an awesome helpmate / partner to someone else.

[vivid-sky.livejournal.com]

Fuck boyz, get money.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

i agree with her

[clayray3290.livejournal.com]

Totally feel you, girl. I'm 25 in Korean age too and look, it'd be nice to have a boyfriend, but I'm also perfectly fine without one right now. I have enough on my plate already trying to get my own life in order to put in energy for someone else. I've got my own ambitions to pursue!

I love this whole strong, independent BEAUTIFUL YOUNG AND FREE woman theme going through this album.
