That was the first time I ever experienced real life. It was also the first time I did things with unfamiliar people. Surprisingly enough, I endured it well. I would cry by myself and break down by myself.

The former Baby V.O.X member also talked about her life as an actress and the criticisms she received, especially during her production, Princess Hours.

I was known as the ‘strong and mighty girl’ so people at the time didn’t understand why I was portraying a princess. I thought being strong was a bad thing.

I want someone who has similar values and perspectives as me. I am timid so I would like someone who is fun and can lead me. If my future husband likes Korean and non-Korean food, I can cook both for him.

I think he’s such a cool person. It’s been 9 years since I stopped drinking alcohol. Kim Jong Kook doesn’t drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes. He’s so diligent about his self-care. I like people like that.
