TWICE FACTS AND UPDATE

TWICE interview on GQ Korea- Nayeon

Q: What was the thought behind your expression during shooting?

A: “I’m clueless.” The photographer unnie told me to go like that (laughs).

Q: Then what’s the real Nayeon’s expression?

A: There are two kinds. “Ehaha,” a big smile like that, or blanking out. When I smile I use all my facial muscles.

Q: Your two front teeth show clearly when you smile.

A: 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.

Q: You’re the oldest in TWICE. What’s good about being the unnie?

A: 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.

Q: You don’t seem like an unnie. When we first saw you, it was like seeing a child actress who had suddenly become big.

A: 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.

Q: 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”?

A: 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?”

Q: From predebut to the latest “TWICE’s Elegant Private Life,” reality program cameras always seem to follow you. Does it get awkward?

A: 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.

Q: Is there any variety program you want to appear at least once on?

A: “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.

Q: How about “Producer 101”?

A: 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.

Q: Even if you can’t do another survival, is there anything you’re number one on in your team?

A: My fingernails are very pretty. They’re easy for nail art, and my hands are long.

Q: Should we have shot you with your hands showing?

A: 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.

Q: The next time you shoot might have a sexy concept.

A: Yes. I’m confident I can do it.
