1. How did you get into modeling?

Suddenly, the moment I was studying my favorite studies in college, I started to have doubts about why life is not fun even though I pursue my favorite studies now. I thought it would be a boring life to do just this, along with the feeling that what I’m doing now is good and fun. Meanwhile, at the suggestion of a person who was the representative of a shopping mall at the time, I took a picture of a jeans model on Rodeo Street, and the moment I filmed it, it stimulated my interest. So I thought it wouldn’t be bad for me to live my life in this direction, so I started pioneering my modeling career from then on.

2. What are you doing if you are not modeling?

I would like to do something related to history studies that I haven’t left in my hands yet. In fact, what I have been doing so far has led to my academic pursuit, so I would like to go to graduate school and fall into the path of a scholar.
Or, I like to write or teach children, so I want to work in current affairs and humanities or teach someone.

3. The most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done?

When I was running on the road to devise a filming with the writer, I saw a quiet silver grass field. The two of us saw the silver grass field scattered in the autumn wind and jumped in spontaneously, and I think the most spontaneous shooting was to express it as if I were part of the silver grass field while making a dynamic movement there

4. What’s your life motto?

No matter how tough my life may be, success will be waiting at the end of the path I walk on.

5. Describe your personal style – Favorite Brands/Fragrance?!

I’m pursuing my own style that doesn’t follow the trend. Rather than dividing the boundaries of any fashion style, I tend to align my clothes in that direction if there is a style that suits me. Among the favorite brands, „zara“ is popularly worn, and „AMI“ and „COMME DES GARCONS“ are the favorite brands.

6. What genre of music best describes you?

It is often referred to as j-pop after seeing pop called in Japan. It can be expressed as my favorite musical genre and also a genre that inspired me a lot about my draft.

7. Where are your roots – The best thing about/to do in your hometown?

My hometown is Gwangju, a small city in Korea. In the past, in a city called Gwangju, which has a lot of history in Korea’s modern and contemporary history, I studied modern and contemporary history, and I think it was the most enjoyable thing I did in my hometown.

8. Name one celebrity you’d like to get naughty with!

So far, there isn’t any.

9. Do you have any special Talents?

I think being able to speak Japanese fluently and writing well are my special talents. Usually, my various drafts start with writing, subdivide it, and express it in photography. Given that the originality of a photographic work is the imagination that appears in writing, I think the most special talent for me is writing.

10. What is the most interesting thing online at the moment?

Along with Fashion Week, which is being conducted in various countries, data reports on the impact of „covid-19“ on the international community are of great interest these days. I think the behavior shown by the virus, which I thought was a simple infectious disease, swallows the world and surveys of the diversity of international trends and the social atmosphere of people when this international pandemic occurs is the biggest interest as a person living in the present society. In addition, despite this pandemic, the appearance of Fashion Week, which aims to attract people’s attention and lead the trend in our fashion, is of great interest to viewers as a person beyond my professional characteristics.
