Q: Throughout the process of your debut, was there anything particularly difficult which left an impression on you?

Hyoyeon: In the past my house was quite far from the practice room, so the time taken to travel to and fro would take up to 4 hours. It definitely also felt difficult when practising, but I had my own goals and dreams at that time, so I had to persevere, even though it was hard, but thinking back now it was meaningful.

Q: Aside from being a singer, you had also studied in the past, and was able to try many aspects of things. Is there anything you’d like to try in your present stage?

Hyoyeon: Right now I am presenting the image of a group to everyone through SNSD, if I have a chance in the future, I’d also like to try a solo album. I would like to challenge and try all sorts of performances on stage, including variety programs and more. To me, as long as I’m given the chance I would like to try all sorts of things to present and show the people who like me.



Q: Which SNSD song do you like?

Hyoyeon: We have a song <Mr. Taxi>, that is my favourite song.

Q: What is your perception of a beautiful lady?

Hyoyeon: I feel that (the prettiest ladies are) those who are beautiful on the inside. If you are beautiful on the inside, then your beauty from within will be expressed outwards. Also, an energetic/positive lady will also smile more, so I think that truly beautiful lady are are ladies who are beautiful on the inside.

Q: For makeup and maintenance, which part do you focus on most?

Hyoyeon: I feel that skincare is very important, the most important is washing your face and cleansing your makeup, you need to clean your skin properly in order for your skin condition to be good, only then will skincare products be properly absorbed, and will not be clogged on the surface of your skin. And this has a close relationship with makeup, if the skin’s condition is good, the makeup you put on will then be able to be applied well, and your makeup will then look good.

Q: What is the key to this years fall/winter makeup?

Hyoyeon: As for this year’s fall/winter eye makeup, rather than using an eyeliner to draw a line, it will be more suitable to use eyeshadow to form out a dark colour. And you can use slightly darker colours for contouring on your cheeks, jaws, nose, and eyes, I feel that this is also an important part of the fall/winter makeup trend.



Q: How many hours a week do you spend exercising? What kind of exercises do you usually do?

Hyoyeon: I do not always continue doing a certain sport, but because I myself am more of a extrovert and active person, so I will go play tennis or golf. If its Summer I will go swimming, and if its winter I would go skiing.



Q: What are the fashion trends you pay more attention to recently?

Hyoyeon: I personally like denim style, such as denim jeans, denim vests this sort of single item styles. Recently off-shoulder clothes has been quite trendy in Korea, revealing a females shoulder line, as well as pretty S line, it can allow one to look pretty feminine.



Q: How is Hyoyeon like privately?

Hyoyeon: Usually I would have more of a stage charisma feel when I’m on stage, but privately, I think I’m very cute, full of energy, very lively and active (laughs). I also wish that I’m able to make everyone happy when I’m with my members.
