TWICE FACTS AND UPDATE

TWICE interview on GQ Korea- Chaeyoung

Q: Do you have a complex?

A: My teeth. They’re crooked.

Q: Snaggletooth?

A: Yes. I get a little embarrassed when I smile. I have to get them corrected, but I’m kind of shy about that too… I envy pretty teeth.

Q: Then what about the part you like most?

A: Lips. I have a mole below my lips too. (When the members are all together) people who don’t know us well even recognize me by the mole. That’s why I often put on red lipstick, almost nothing on my eyes, and draw my eyebrows thinly.

Q: But you put on strong smokey makeup for the music video, right?
A: Since I am the rapper. [The smokey makeup] does fit, but usually with rappers, their strongness gets stressed too much. There can be cute rappers too, and a great many who write poem-like lyrics.

Q: If the offer to be on “Unpretty Rapstar” came around? Like Fiestar’s Yezi.

A: I’m too young…

Q: Because there might be many scary unnies?

A: Yes, they’re pretty frightening. I think I would cry in the event I go on.

Q: Although you don’t seem like the soft ‘99 maknae in “TWICE’s Elegant Private Life”?

A: I do have a bit of bluntness. That’s why the unnies said they don’t like Ka-Talking with me. I’m too short with words and uninteresting so it makes them angry.

Q: You don’t use a single emoticon?
A: Yes. So I used one recently. The Benny rabbit.

Q: You were recently readmitted to a high school with an Applied Music department? You seem like the member with the most ambitions in music. You even recommend music over SNS.

A: I started rapping as a trainee, and you have to write lyrics too. You need to listen to a lot of other songs to do that, and they sparked an interest in me as I searched. I like to draw too, and it relates to music in many ways.

Q: In another interview, you mentioned D’Angelo’s “Black Messiah” too.

A: There was a radio program that suggested songs, and he had come back in time for it. I had listened to his previous album a ton. “Brown Sugar.” The vocal trainers during training suggest a lot of songs, and if you go on Youtube, it gives you related videos too. I’d search more there, and find more…

Q: You like reading poems too?

A: Implied meanings! When you write lyrics, you need good figures of speech. Rhymes are important too.

Q: What is the collection of poems you bought most recently?

A: I bought a book rather than a collection. Quiet Thrill. It’s a record of the author’s three months away at Europe. It goes right into the smallest details, and they’re all very cute.

Q: The place you want to go to the most?

A: Amsterdam. I like Van Gogh.

Q: Do you ever hear that you’re different from what you seem? You look like a bright and merry girl, but you’re sentimental and strong in how you express yourself.

A: You’re right. There are many people who thought I’d be prim or rough at first. Or just a baby. But my longtime friends or the close-by members say I’m different from my first impression, to the point that it’s amazing.

Q: Do you like that about yourself?

A: Yes. I like that I look cheerful, and I like hearing that I’m a deep person once they get to know me.
