Do you agree that you are the hottest star at this point right now?
Am I really like that? I don't know how hot it is, but it seems like it's hot (laughs). I think I receive attention from a lot of people.

You are being invited as a Muse for many brands, what do you think is your most beautiful asset?
When I do what I really want to do, it seems like that's the most beautiful [asset that I have]. To dress how I want to dress, to take pictures that I want to take, I am the one who needs to do what I want to do. Then, I will look pretty and the happiest.

I was surprised at the bold image [you showed] in front of the camera while watching the pictorial. You were totally immersed and unceasingly tried something new in every picture.
It's because I enjoy [taking] photos. As I take pictures, I want the images to come out in a certain way like what's in my mind. I feel really good when I try and I do it right. If the picture doesn't come out as what I think of, [I will] take a different one again. The outcome is what I'm making. If the picture that came out is not satisfactory, I'll feel sorry more than anyone else.

Regardless of others' attention or standards, you wish to express 'yourself' freely.
Yes, that's right. Of course, what I say is not 100% right all the time. Sometimes, you hear and make mistakes but, people are continuously changing. If you cannot speak or act because you are afraid to make a mistake, I think it's a loss for the individual and the society as well. I guess I am a person who wants to talk a lot, do I have a lot of urges? I don't want to stop it no matter what.

What do you think of yourself?
I think I'm like a child. Since I was a child, it took a lot of time for me to have a job and find myself. It wasn't long before I learned, knew and thought about something in detail. I think I stayed in the state of mind of a child for a long time. I guess I learned a little more detail about such things late. I am putting a lot of effort in finding myself. As I clear my mission step by step, I feel proud when I see myself growing up.




If it's a mission, does it tell something about you?
Eveything is done. For example, there were times when I couldn't go to a cafe alone, my dream was to spend time alone reading a book at a cafe in front of my house. But in reality, I couldn't [sit] for too long because my butt will hurt (laughs). While developing mentally, I think the outward appearance changes too. I realized that my inner self-esteem and confidence increase when I'm working.

Is Sulli a Good girl or Bad girl?
I may be a bad girl to others but, I am good overall, I want to live as a good girl in the future too. When I become a bad girl, I will realize by myself that 'bad Jinri has appeared'. Is it not at least a good thing to try and make effort to become a better person? (laughs)

The movie starring Kim Soo-hyun is waiting to be released.
I will not give any spoiler (laughs). To me, is the best work, I take the character of Song Yoo-hwa. I love Yoo-hwa very much to the point that I want to name [my] child 'Yoo-hwa' later on. I felt so sad when the filming was over. I think the character of Yoo-hwa has become a part of me.

I'm curious about what movies do you like.
I watch movies alone and give it my rating. There are films that I rated 5 stars. The movies I watched recently (on smart phone) were <Girl, Interrupted (1999)>. I like it once a pretty girl comes out [of the movie] (laughs).

What kind of woman and man do you consider attractive?
As they say, 'I'm in cringes' 'Middle school second grade illness', such things are commonly used often. These days, people seem to avoid serious stories, I think of myself in every position, I find people who talk about what you want to do are cool. Even if you do not agree with it, 'respect' it.

[중2병 - 'middle school second grade illness' or 'grade 8 syndrome', this slang is usually used to say about a not-grown person.]

Painting/drawing is my hobby. I also share the illustrations I painted/drew on SNS.
There was a time when I wanted to run away to somewhere, I resolved it when I painted. How did I do painting for the first time, I painted on the biggest canvas using watercolors with my bare hands. I can't really draw very well. Sometimes, I paint like [I am writing on] a diary. Suddenly, people around me are requesting me to draw (for them). The picture I drew was used for IU eonni's album jacket. Actually, the picture I drew for IU eonni wasn't new. I closed my eyes, I didn't take my hand off, it was a face I drew with a single line. I have entered IU eonni's heart, she liked it and toot the drawing. Recently, my hobby is horseback riding! I don't like exercising in particular but, horseback riding is fun and an exercise too. I think I've got abs already.

Recently, I uploaded pictures of my 24th birthday party on SNS.
It was a surprise birthday party! It took place at home, with Hara eonni and my friends as well.
