Anyone can tell that Nayeon, the girl who is always active and hyper from head to toe and is a person of ‘Vitamin C’, is Twice’s energizer. With a striking physical appearance and cordial personality, there seems to be no flaw in her. “I’m a very mix-match person. I’m not even good at taking care of myself, but I have the burden of taking care of all the members? I think that trait and responsibility grew as Sixteen went on. Since I get along with the members just like close friends, we are very close now. Before, there were a few instances when Twice’s debut was denied, but at the time, Jihyo and Jungyeon were with me so I was able to withstand the pressure. We were by each other every day for six years so we took care of each other a lot. Ever since 2010, I spent every Christmas with those two.”
- What do you want your name to be related to when it's searched up on the Internet? Lipstick. Collecting lipsticks is my hobby.
- You are one of the best rookies out there this year, hitting 20 million views on Youtube and winning rookie awards within two months of debuting. How do you feel about being called the best? Truthfully, I still hadn’t fully processed our debut, but after receiving so much love and and winning awards, recently I’ve been feeling “ah, so we really have debuted.”
- The entire nation watched the road to your debut. You all heard harsh words from Park Jinyoung in front of everyone. Is there anything you still remember from the comments? The most memorable event was “You grabbed the ankle.” The fans seem to parody it a lot too. If I could do things over once more, I think I could do well without hanging on to the PD’s ankle (laughs).
- TWICE is a team of a variety of nationalities. It can’t have always been smooth between you. Because we’ve been together since our trainee days, I think we understand each other well. Also, our foreign members are really good at Korean, although Tzuyu sometimes speaks in Taiwanese when she’s sleepy (laughs).
- Then what’s the real Nayeon’s expression? There are two kinds. “Ehaha,” a big smile like that, or blanking out. When I smile I use all my facial muscles.
- Your two front teeth show clearly when you smile. I started hearing that my front teeth stand out after debut. I didn’t know. Sometimes when I smile, they catch on my lower lip. They’re very handy for eating ice cream or cake.
- You’re the oldest in TWICE. What’s good about being the unnie? Hm… uh… I can’t really say because we’re not on [strict] unnie/dongsaeng terms. I think being the ‘unnie’ is just nice in itself.
- You don’t seem like an unnie. When we first saw you, it was like seeing a child actress who had suddenly become big. Even before I had debuted, I heard from many adults that I seemed familiar to them. Why could that be? I really don’t know. But there are a lot of things I resemble. The members and the fans call me Na-peach unnie because I resemble one.
- You debuted last October, but it feels like the fans know the ins and outs of each member of TWICE. Was it because of the survival competition program “Sixteen”? The members talked about that even last night, that it was amazing having fans. Things like presents, letters, too. We’re really grateful. It must not have completely hit me yet. I’m amazed when I go to COEX uncovered and get recognized. I think, “Where has that person seen me?”
- From predebut to the latest “TWICE’s Elegant Private Life,” reality program cameras always seem to follow you. Does it get awkward? It’s not awkward because we have fun talking with the camerapeople while filming. I’m much more more nervous with the music program cameras or the large-scale variety show ones.
- Is there any variety program you want to appear at least once on? “The Return of Superman!” I really like babies. It’s a little on the level of an addiction. I can be a babysitter for the day.
- How about “Produce 101”? Ah, I’ve watched it a few times because our agency’s (Jeon) Somi comes out on it, and I could understand their heart. We all cried at the dorms after watching the first episode. I keep thinking that I won’t be able to go through a survival program again.
- Even if you can’t do another survival, is there anything you’re number one on in your team? My fingernails are very pretty. They’re easy for nail art, and my hands are long.
- Should we have shot you with your hands showing? Next time; I want to be shot again. Really. I really like GQ. It’s a magazine for men, but I really liked the interviews with the female idol sunbaes. I really liked the picture with Krystal sunbae-nim in a red one-piece, and the one with the hat pressed over IU sunbae-nim.
- The next time you shoot might have a sexy concept. Yes. I’m confident I can do it.
- Are there any differences between your pre-debut Christmases and your Christmases now, do you think?
I spent Christmas with Jihyo and Jeongyeon before debut too. It was a normal Christmas and nothing special. Just like a normal resting day. After debut though, like last year, we appeared on Music Bank. It’s different because we were able to present a special stage and be together with ONCEs!
- How do you want to spend Christmas this time?
There should be a schedule for us on Christmas day, but I really want to eat snacks with the members in our dorm or just be able to spend time with the members in general.
- Are there any episodes that stick out to you that you remember about the Christmases you had when you were young?
I’m not sure if I really believed that there was a Santa Claus when I was young, but I do remember receiving presents! I went to sleep after putting the gift bag into a drawer. My present was bigger than my younger sister! (laugh)
- What would be top of your list if you became Santa Claus for a day?
I would want to give presents to my members. We spend so much time together so we know what each other member needs, even though the gifts may not be extravagant. I want to give unexpected gifts – even if they are small.
- Can you give some examples of presents you would get?
Momo bought some fur clothing recently, but I remember her saying it was a pity that they weren’t pink. So, I searched on the internet and found a hood! For Jihyo, body cream. She says that she needs it frequently. I want to buy them these sorts of presents, ones that they need even though they aren’t huge ones.
- Then what does Nayeon want to receive as a present?
I want to receive spa treatments as presents because I use them. If not, I want to receive a skin massage from Tzuyu. (Jihyo: I’ve had it before.) I’ve had it before too. That’s why I’m talking about it now. Am I too realistic?
- Then, should we ask you about unrealistic things you would like?
It would be good if all of us could not leave the dorm and were unable to use our phones. No one can enter nor exit the dorm, then the nine of us can all play together and do what we want in the dorm! Phones should only be used if we’re using delivery apps. (Jihyo: that would be so fun!) I think it would be fun too!
- A Christmas movie that you would recommend?
I want to recommend ‘The Polar Express’ although I haven’t watched it yet! I’ve heard some about the storyline which says it is about finding Santa Claus, and there’s a poster with kids standing on the train tracks. I also saw reviews saying that adults will cry if they watch this movie. It is a heart-warming movie, so it would be so good if I could watch it with ONCEs.
- What other presents would you like to receive, Nayeon?
