TWICE FACTS AND UPDATE

TWICE interview on GQ Korea- Momo

Q: Did you have lunch?

A: Not yet. I want to eat jokbal after we finish, but I have to hold back to manage myself. I was about seven kilograms more as a trainee than now. I think maintenance is possible recently because of how much I move.

Q: Especially because you are labelled as the one in charge of dance. You learned dance from a very young age, right? Did you dream of becoming a dancer?

A: I wanted to become a celebrity moreso. Do you know Amuro Namie by any chance? When I was young, I really admired her, Rain sunbae-nim, and Lee Hyori sunbae-nim’s performances.

Q: Was K-pop popular in the quiet city of Kyoto?

A: Yes. My mom was a fan of Rain sunbae-nim.

Q: Did you like jokbal that much in Japan too?

A: No. I didn’t even know such a food existed. But I had it once after I came to Korea and became a trainee, and it moved me. It has a lot of collagen too. It looked delicious from the start.

Q: Good-for-your-skin collagen.

A: That’s why my face definitely feels better the next day.

Q: You look very cold with a neutral expression.

A: But isn’t it alright if I smile? The aegyo-sal under my eyes come out when I smile.. I really don’t like being seen as cold. I didn’t eat well during “Sixteen” because I was so stressed, so people said I came off kind of strong. After the program ended, I wanted to look brighter so I brought down my bangs.

Q: You wanted to be seen as kind?

A: I just want to not be seen as such a strong person.

Q: Did you say you were jealous of Jihyo’s eyes on radio?

A: They’re totally big. I want mine to be like them too.

Q: But yours aren’t small.

A: But doesn’t Jihyo have a kind of foreigner feel? I envy that. Ah, Nayeon unnie’s lips too. Mine are thin but hers are thick.

Q: You have a lot of greed.

A: It has no end. I have to get prettier.

Q: How?

A: Won’t I get prettier if I look at a lot of pretty people?

Q: Your fans seem to say that you look prettier with your hair up? That’s why your nickname is “Muk-Mo.”

A:  Ah, really? I didn’t know. I usually have my bangs down; today was the first time in a while my forehead showed.

Q: Which angle of your face are you confident in?

A: The left side of my face. I’m concerned about it when we film for a broadcast too.

Q: Do you look in the mirror often?

A: Yes. Whether it’s in my hand or I see one, I keep staring. I continuously wonder about the condition of my face. I’m a little nervous because I don’t have a lot of make up on right now, haha.

Q: How about a dance you’re confident with?

A: Urban, slightly? Urban with a feminine touch.

Q: Which are you better with, tight choreography or freestyling?

A: I like having choreography more than freestyling. When I’m alone, of course I dance to the way I feel, but when I’m told to freestyle in front of others, I can’t help but be thrown off. But it’s fine if I practice choreography hard enough.

Q: If you had to dance to one song, which would you pick?

A: To freestyle to? RnB, firstly. Um… a song from Tinashe?

Q: She’ll be coming to perform in Korea soon.

A: Woah! I really like her.
