[INTERVIEW] U-ie in ‘Ceci China’ Magazine; “Being in Japan Was Very Fresh, as if Re-debuting”!


Blurbs from U-ie’s recent interview with ‘Ceci’ Magazine:

‘Flashback’
We will give a unique strong performance, After School will have a greater emphasis on being mature and sexy….this time, the new album is more close to the ‘sexy sister’ style. Our members in addition to new entrants to the youngest, and even Lizzy have grown up, so we wanted to show a full sexy feminine side to everyone

Missing After School members during solo activities
“While filming ‘Ojakgyo Brotheers’ I really missed everyone…Often members would send greetings, and made me feel very warm. I won’t ask ‘have you seen my television series’, but members will say ‘you kissed my brother today’…” [Joke oh Joo won ] 


After School’s differing concept in Japan
The concept of the After School is a combination of a “3S”, Show, Style and Sexy, I really like the concept.”

Japanese Concert in three cities
During rehearsal time we were worried because most of the songs we want to sing in Japanese, we were very worried that we cannot properly express the emotion of the song. Until the concert begins, we hear the cheers of fans, see the full light stick lights, it was very exciting. That the moment is still vivid in my mind.

After School members Became Closer in Japanese Dorm (some members live separately in Korea)
“Well yes! We relied more on each other. More attention to the status of partners…Being in Japan was very fresh, as if re-debuting. Activities slowly expanded, more and more people know our group it was very magical. While we rarely go out, we were the Shibuya 109 shopping mall spokespersons, and members go there for shopping.”



Jung Hyeon’s Introduction

“Hi, I’m Jung Hyeon, 13 years old this year. I am trying to become a good artist.”



Thoughts on U-ie’s Photo Session for ‘Ceci’

…I thought it was beautiful, but watching the filming at the scene today is the first time, the feeling very strange. Flash once per Flash, facial expressions and gestures are completely different, I think U-IE sister is a big deal



Following in U-ie’s footsteps: Singers, Actress, Model, etc Which ones?

“Too much. If I select a few, I wanted to be a campaign’s Ambassador, also want to be a music MC. As an Ambassador, I would like to let everyone know about some things, and help people who have difficulty, do good things”



Feelings after filming with U-ie

Very interesting…Although worried everyone at large compared my sister and I…but I was hoping to show the most natural and the most beautiful side to readers. I also hope that one day I can became charming and wear clothes wear like a U-IE sister model



Message to U-ie

Today, I will closely follow the footsteps of my predecessors to the older generation in line.
