Currently immersed in: Photos and text.
S: I feel like I’m immersing in photography, reading magazines albums again. There was a period of time where I did not care about them, but I recently got immersed in them again. I’ve always loved writing things like diaries. Not long ago I wrote short lyrics, it will be great if it can be part of the next album.

Money most spent on: Coffee and cosmetics.
S: I really spent a lot on coffee and money, I love cosmetics especially, I don’t really buy basic ones but a lot of colored ones and I like light tanned and grey. Even though I have 3 to 4 of the same item at home, but because of the slight difference in color shades, I will always buy. It’s interesting to shop for cosmetics, interesting to buy them too, and I like applying them. I like doing makeup myself. I’ve been doing light makeup that doesn’t look like I’ve applied makeup recently, although I used to like heavy makeup.

Playlist includes songs by: The Vinylhouse, Jeon Geun Hwa, Alicia Keys and Epitone Project.
S: The songs I listen to the most are The Vinylhouse and Jeon Geun Hwa’s <우리 그때는> and Alicia Keys’ 'That’s When I Know'. And I really like Epitone Project’s <나는 그 사람이 아프다>, I feel sad whenever I listen to it.

Singers that I want to collaborate with are: Jeon Geun Hwa and Epik High.
S: I like Jeon Geun Hwa, the song <툭툭> is really good. And if I collaborate with Epik High I want to rap.

I’ve never realized it before, but recently the things I notice a lot are: Scenery and sky.
S: I used to not notice sceneries and sky, it’s to the point where I don’t remember seeing them. When I was strolling with my mom when I was younger, my mom said “Maple Road is so pretty”, but I said “That’s pretty? Aren’t they just trees and sky.” But a few years ago I started saying “Wow, look at the sky” and took photos of it, I also said “It’s a pity that the photo can’t fill the beautiful scenery”, haha. I did not care about it when I was younger, but sometimes I get emotional as I look at them nowadays.

I like: Tang Wei, Honey Lee, Lily Collins.
S: Tang Wei and Honey Lee are really pretty and act well. I also like Lindsey Wixson and Lily Collins, I like girls who have their own charms.

The movies that I find meaningful are: Gone Girl, 연애의 온도 and Stuck In Love.
S: The movie that I found most meaningful recently is . Because of resonance I liked the movie <연애의 온도>, I feel that I would say the same thing if I were in the same situation, I was fascinated. I also like .

The place that I find most comfortable is: Inside the car.
S: Inside the car is truly my own personal space. I used to not be able to sleep if it’s not inside the car or the bed in my room. Back then I sleep in the car frequently thus I got familiarized with the ambience, but I can’t sleep if it’s too quiet too. To me, the time in the car is very precious and I want to fully enjoy it. But sometimes when I fall asleep because I’m too tired, I will sleep very well. Aren’t there noises on the expressways? I record and play it when I’m at home before going to sleep. I sleep well even if I’m not in a car now, but sleeping in the car is still the most comfortable. Sometimes I drive to de-stress too.

Exercising methods that I like most are: Riding a bicycle and stretching exercises.
S: I like to ride bikes when there is wind. Besides that, I like to do stretching exercises at home. I don’t like exercises that requires a lot of effort, hehe.

Food that I eat frequently when I’m exhausted is: Spicy rice cakes/엽기떡볶이.
S: Yes, spicy rice cakes, haha. I don’t like eating sweet stuff, I like salty and spicy food. Actually I don’t think of a particular thing to eat, I feel that it’s the best to eat what you want to eat when you feel like eating.

Favorite drink: Iced Americano.
S: Coffee, I also like drinking hot coffee, but because I like it when it’s cooling so I drink iced americano most of the time. If it’s a drink, I like it as long as it’s cold.

I like everything when it’s: Natural.
S: I dislike being fake the most in this world, thus when the ambience natural and comfortable, I find it unforgettable. For example, there was once I met my good friend but after we met, we did not talk a lot so we just went back and we felt like drinking alcohol so we drank, aren’t there times like these where your mood is good? We can talk about the past, we can also talk about our problems. It feels really good to chat like this naturally.

Hair/hairstyle I like the most: Bright colored ones.
S: I currently have this hairstyle. I like long hair so I want to keep leaving my hair long. I personally do not like having to cut my hair short suddenly, so I hate short cut. One day, I wanted to have hair that isn’t too long or too short all of a sudden, so I went with the thought of the hairstyle and got the hairstylist to cut it for me and also made it thinner, I’m really contented with it now. I don’t like black hair, I like bright ones, it seems fun to have a photoshoot with bright hair. Because my hair isn’t very good so I feel that black is very basic, haha.

I look the best in: Basic-looking clothes.
S: Compared to fanciful ones, I feel that clothes that are simple and plain suit me more. It’s the same for colors, compared to strong colors, I feel that I look better in lighter colors. Wearing fanciful outfits may make me look worse instead.

Something that exist like it’s my friend: Rings
S: Rings? Ah, yes! Where is my ring? (When she realized she wasn’t wearing a ring, she went to look for it before continuing with the interview) Rings to me are like my friends, I wear them wherever I go. My mood becomes better when I wear them. If I don’t wear them, I’ll remove all of them before going out. As for colors, I like antique bronze or rose gold.

If I have a vacation, I want to go to: Wherever.
S: If there isn’t a specific place to go, anywhere is fine as long as it’s a break… I have to write this sentence, haha. Even the front of my house is okay.

Compared to staying at home, I like: Going out.
S: I like going out, I’m the type of person where I can’t stay in the house. It’s not that I hate my house, I just feel that if you have a break/resting period, staying at home is a waste of time.

Till present, the best town I’ve been to is: Chamonix, Mont Blanc.
S: Chamonix, Mont Blanc in the Southern part of France. I went there to film a commercial and after the filming, I went around with my own camera to take photos of many locals. I cannot forget that place, quietness, leisure, and I don’t know why but the people there give off a very friendly impression. Firstly, I was able to walk on the streets alone without anyone recognizing me, it felt good and comfortable. I want to be like the other girls and go to the beach with pretty makeup. Compared to places with many people or Koreans or anyone who would recognize me, even if it’s just a little, I will feel a bit uncomfortable. But when I was there (Mont Blanc), it feels like I went on a trip myself, I can walk around, take photos, I really enjoyed myself. I actually do not have any travelling experiences, where do I want to go……. I would be at a lost too. Although there isn’t a specific plan, but I want to go on a trip. I will go think about it with more thought after this interview, haha.

IMO this photoshoot is the most Suzy-like she has ever done. And whenever I read her interviews I can't help but be proud of her and feel sad for her.

lmao she watched Gone Girl(robbed fuck the academy) and she must have seen Love Rosie recently since Lily was lovely there or maybe she just really liked her in the flop that was Stuck in Love.

poor suzy, the sleeping in cars thing is sad. i hope she gets more free time to travel be incredible

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

love her sfm. such a pretty shoot, the photos look like screengrabs from some artsy movie. her interviews are always quirky and cute. i hope shes doing well ;-;

[flutterlace.livejournal.com]

I love this and her so much.

[koibira.livejournal.com]

she's so beautiful 💞💞

i really like the interview too. makes me feel like we could be friends lol

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

aren't people always saying suzy is a homebody or something? she says here she likes to go out.


that color and cut looks great on her

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

i am one of these people, and at least she used to be, she used to say thatherself in interviews.

[aridnili.livejournal.com]

Yep, she wants to travel and go out, but she's a loner. She said many times that she mostly spends free time with her mother and sometimes with closest friends that are non celebrities. Her birthdays she spends with her mother at her apartment and sometimes probably with family, since there was never any photos of her and her friends on a party. I hope they helped her go through depression, but I think she is still infortunately going through it.
sorry for the long blabbering lol

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

Well she's a mix of both I think. She said she likes to be at home but she also sometimes has the urge to go on drives by herself or travel by herself.

I always love reading her interviews, and this photoshoot is really...calming? IDK, it kind of made me feel content just scrolling through, lol.

Aren’t there noises on the expressways? I record and play it when I’m at home before going to sleep.

I feel her on that, I've done the same.

[aridnili.livejournal.com]

Op, I love you. I knew that I should be patient and trust you to post it, specially when I have no freaking free time ending my masters.

That said, this is one of my fave too.I think she loved doing it and being able to be the part of her that is an oddball. Also loved her interview and how she's maturing in such a great young woman.

I find her success such an interesting commentary on the whole kpop/k-ent system in general, esp. the way talent is strictly optional as long as you fit a certain look and image. She works hard but in the face of stories about what nugu agency group members endup like, I have to say she's really lucky that she's pretty and hit it big in a year where scandals or inactivity took out p much all of her contemporaries who could have given her a run for that cf money.

I hope the Miss A cb actually happens and does well, she's much better as a singer than an actress (understatement).

S: Tang Wei and Honey Lee are really pretty and act well. I also like Lindsey Wixson and Lily Collins, I like girls who have their own charms.

I don't know much about Lily Collins except that she seems like one of those preordained stars that the industry is determined to make happen, even if they, as in her case, are not particularly talented or charismatic, just kinda bland and pretty. Which is why I'm surprised to see Suzy describe her as having her "own charms."

And Honey Lee is kinda boring too, no?

I really would have liked to hear her thoughts on Gone Girl and what the hell appealed to her about Stuck in Love, lol - it seems like the translation cut off. Not surprised that she's a rom-com girl.

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

I am watching Shine or Go Crazy and surprisingly Honey Lee is really good at being evil. But yes other than that also boring

[winegums.livejournal.com]

I wonder if by "own charms" she refers strictly to their physical attributes - like Lily Collins' eyebrows and Lindsey Wixson's teeth. Because those are distinctive and not strictly 'pretty', but otherwise that's two bland as hell people to be a fan of.

and ia, Honey Lee is kinda boring but I liked her in Modern Farmer and she's good as nasty queen in Shine or Go Crazy.

[fairyland-not.livejournal.com]

may be just me but there was some toda erika moments in these photos

[revertigo.livejournal.com]

i wish we get more western stars commenting on asian stars' beauty in the media. suzy is a hell of a lot more interesting looking than our exports. and she's so charming and kind to boot.
