Something in Jeongyeon’s look tells of her exquisite physique. A girl who likes happy things rather than serious and stern things, she is responsible for smoothing out the team’s atmosphere. “I’m not so chubby right now, but I was a [few years ago]. When I was young, in order to help shape my body, I used to play the Korean traditional drums. While I was thinking about going professional [for drumming], I got casted as a sixth trainee into JYP. To me, the meaning of [performing] on-stage is big. It’s a paradise I’ve always dreamed of. There’s lots of people who got a lot busier after debuting or got worried that it’s going to get harder, but I actually like being busy. It was my dream to work up to the point where I don’t feel like my normal self. I want to win first place on music shows and I also want to try a photoshoot. The most important thing to me is that I hope Twice will be together up until the end.
- What do you want your name to be related to when it's searched up on the Internet? Dresses. It's because I've never worn a dress before because of my boy-ish image.
- TWICE is a team of a variety of nationalities. It can’t have always been smooth between you. We all communicate well. Once while we were practicing, Mina, Sana, and Momo were cracking up. We asked why and found out that with one of our lines, “Hage mandeureojwo (Make me like),” hage means bald in Japanese. So I remember we all laughed over that.
- There’s an ocean of girl groups out right now, is there anything that sets TWICE apart? An overflowing beagle-y charm? Bright and natural are TWICE’s strengths like no one else’s.
- Your self-introduction is “Jeongyeon, in charge of girl crushes!,” right? Haha, yes. I had that image in Sixteen. But I’ve been told I got a lot cuter [baby-ish] since then. What to do?
- Your unconcerned calm in “TWICE’s Elegant Private Life” is one of the reasons for having a girl crush. That seems to always be valid. To be honest, when I go on stage I’m nervous a whole lot. Because I go “I have to do better, I have to do better.” But I try to do things comfortably for the reality program of our private life. There’s really nothing to hide either.
- The woman standing in front of the camera, bangs messy or not. Is the face of that Jeongyeon familiar to you? For now, the part above my eyes is on the thick side, so while I do have double-eyelids, there are many people who don’t know that. And, hm… she has pretty teeth.
- You were also the only one of the members to reveal her weight on broadcast. These things don’t concern you, though you’re nervous on stage? The team I originally was to debut with fell apart, after around three years. I think experiencing it not go to plan made me more resilient. I’m always thinking, “This is enough.” But I’m as nervous for interviews or shooting or stages as ever. I shrink without even realizing. They’re different from reality programs.
- Are you disappointed with your small part in “Like OOH-AHH”? Because it’s your debut song. It’s not like we’ll be singing that song forever. I can just do more in our next recording.
- It’s something to pass over? Yes. I’m going to be singing forever anyways. (indicating the Star Wars Lego nearby) Do you play with Legos by any chance?
- No, it’s just something in this studio. You collect Legos, right? I haven’t been able to buy many lately. The Pororo Lego set that my older sister bought a little while ago is about it.
- What series do you like most? I don’t have an exact one. I just like building with them. I have a countless number of kinds. I brought everything from home to the dorms. That’s not it. I was living with my sister, and she sent them all to me, saying that the house was too messy. Haha.
- Your dorm doesn’t seem to be very big? Does it? I think it’s on the big side. I use a small room with Momo and it’s cozy. I like small rooms more than big ones.
- Do you build Legos according to the instructions? Yes. I make them exactly and put them on display. Besides Legos, I like to exercise too. Things like running or jumproping.
- You certainly excite girls’ hearts? I probably look very ugly while I’m running.
