Being in the public eye and basically growing up in the spotlight, we are always responsible for our actions.
I'm sometimes surprised by myself: no matter how much time has passed, I wasn't able to accept my inferiority complex. But I did.
I am very proud of the song 'More & More.' It's a great love song and has really fun choreography attached.
In hindsight, my darkest time came when I was an idol trainee. My future was uncertain and I always had to ask myself, 'Will I be able to debut?' It was physically and mentally exhausting sometimes.
Although you may get exhausted sometimes, you can still get over it if you have people around you who give you warm words.
My favorite song of ours has to be 'Feel Special.' It was a little different than our bright songs that talk about love and general happy things, but we thought the song had a special message.
My favorite song of ours is 'Dance The Night Away.'
Having concrete, strong thoughts is very important.
I want to complement Chaeyoung for her spirit and perseverance. She is never scared of new or unfamiliar things; instead she accepts the challenge. It is really awesome to see this side of her, and I want to learn how to be more brave like her.
There have been moments when I was physically strained, but I have overcome the hardships by staging performances and receiving support from our members and fans.
The passion I felt from the U.S. fans was unlike anything I've ever experienced.
I will never forget when we won No. 1 on a TV music show for 'Cheer Up.' It was one of our group goals. We put in a lot of hard work in that song, and felt accomplished and were very moved.
I feel super happy when I put on a sheet mask after washing my face.
I really liked to sing and dance, and that's why I decided to start as a trainee.
I had a lot of fun during all the performances, but the most memorable one was 'Born This Way.' Lady Gaga is one of our favorite artists, and I remember the Once in America had the best reaction when we performed that song for them.
I am pretty bad at doing my makeup myself, so these days, I am learning from a makeup artist. I treat my face as a sketchbook and am gradually trying things that I learned from the artist.
There are many pretty people, and many are prettier than me.
We have debuted in Japan and Korea, but we also really want to make songs in other languages for global fans if there is an opportunity.
Living with eight other people teaches you what to give up and what to take from others, and you have to appreciate each other.
When I make eye contact with our fans while playing a gig, I seem to have the most energy.
