As many of you know, Tiffany grew up in California and many of her family members still live in the greater Los Angeles area. The idol took on the challenge of exemplifying the free and lively atmosphere of California in her floral tops and jeans. Her casual attire and friendly smile make her the perfect girl-next-door.

Tiffany, who completed rehearsals for , was laid back and beautiful just like at the California beach. Like a person who has everything prepared. That is her way of living and her way of mapping out life. Twenty-five, Tiffany is astute.

“At my current age, I don’t think I can express myself like Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. I think doing music that suits my age is most natural and great. That is also truly what is most like you.”

The ‘hurl-down pitch’ you threw in LA garnered lots of attention.
I was actually ill-prepared for it…. I don’t have any regrets though. I didn’t have any time to warm-up and went on the field for interviews and took pictures, and things were hectic so I guess you could say my energy weakened? I didn’t know there would be that many reporters either, so I was a bit taken aback.

Are you personally satisfied with the results?
I’m not a baseball player, and I think that was enough for it to be a fun and enjoyable experience. After pitching, I asked Hyunjin Ryu, ‘Could I throw it one more time?’, but he replied, ‘No, you can’t.’ (laugh) So I told him next time, if possible, to let me sing the National Anthem instead of pitching. I get less nervous if I have to sing. Anyway, it was a place where I could show my Korean pride, so it was an honor.

Right after you returned from completing the photoshoot in LA, you appeared at
; you must be really busy. You frequently have shoots overseas. Do you have a secret when it comes to getting used to different time zones?
There isn’t anything in particular, but my body adjusts on its own. When it’s dark, I sleep, and when I open my eyes, I eat. (Haha) Girls’ Generation doesn’t have a problem with jet lag. We go overseas almost every week, so we’ve gotten used to it.

After your schedules in LA, did you return after relaxing?
After debuting, we haven’t received a long vacation, so my members and I talk about vacations a lot. Saying we should go somewhere by ourselves if we get the chance to later in the future.

Where do you want to go on vacation to?
Florida or Las Vegas.

Do you want to go to the casinos?
No. I just want to shop freely and watch fun shows.

‘Tiffany’s compact car’ came up in real-time search charts recently. Is there a reason why you bought a compact car?
It was my first car ever, so I thought it would be good for it to have a special meaning. Before purchasing it, I thought a lot about it before deciding. If not now, I didn’t think I would ever be able to ride it. And the price was nicer than I thought. (laughs)

Do you drive often?
Honestly, there isn’t a lot of time to drive. It’s been about a year since I bought my car, but I only have about 1000km on it. So I just gave my car key to my manager to hold onto.

Out of all the places you’ve driven to, which place left an impression?
Itaewon. While feeling a bit of ‘Itaewon Freedom’, I went with four of my members. At the time, I didn’t know how to read the GPS, so we wandered for a really long time, but I think it was a dynamic experience.

We’re going to try a simple psychology test. You went to a bookstore. From bestsellers, fashion magazines, autobiographies, and romance novels, which would you choose?
Tiffany: Hm… A bestseller. I actually went to the bookstore not too long ago. When I go, I usually buy the original novel of films. I read the books beforehand for movies that I like when they’re about to premiere. I bought
, which is a rated book, but it’s good. (Haha)

Is there a particular reason why you buy the original novels?
I want to act in the future, so I think it’s a process in preparing for that time. I can see how the actors portray the characters in the novels and studying them also helps me.

I will tell you the result of the psychology test now. ‘Bestseller’ can be interpreted as uneasiness towards being behind the generation. Do you agree?
I think that’s correct. My mentality is coming out exactly. (laughs) I constantly make an effort not to fall behind and keep learning. That’s also a celebrity’s fate.

Is there anything you’ve become immersed in lately, that you don’t even realize time is passing?
As always, I think it’s music. Not too long ago, Justin Timberlake made a comeback for the first time in 7 years. The album was so good that after I listened to it, I tried listening to albums from his ‘98 debut until now. I think music is something that’s new every time you listen to it. He also debuted as an idol, promotes as a soloist, and is an artist who acts, so I think there is a lot I could learn from him.

Depending on your age, doesn’t the type of music you seek differ?
You’re right. When I was in my early 20′s, I liked bubbly, cute songs, but I think I prefer mature music now. At my current age, I don’t think I can express myself like Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. I think doing music that suits my age is most natural and great. That is also truly what is most like you.

Is there, by any chance, a talent someone else possesses that you would want to steal?
Beyonce’s professional spirit. I read an article with her interview recently, and she said, ‘I prepare 3 months for a 15 minute performance.’ What’s even more impressionable was when she said, ‘If I can’t at least sing or dance like this, I’d be a fool. That’s because I put that much effort into it and am that confident.’ I thought that she’s really a great professional. Personally, I think that talent isn’t natural, but that it’s more important to put forth an effort.

I think that intense self-regulation is inevitable, especially to survive in the entertainment industry.
Yes. Rather than getting to the top, maintaining that summit is even more difficult. (laughs) And so endlessly working hard is very important.

That’s true. There must be a lot of idols who covet Girls’ Generation’s position.
Fortunately, the results are just as good as the hard work put into it, so I’m proud. Even on days I have off, I receive lessons and practice choreography.

If you always think about music, doesn’t life become monotonous? There ought to be times where you get stressed or suddenly feel futile. Is there an item that excites your life at times like that? Or are you going to answer ‘music’ again?
No. Shopping. (laughs) I have a lot of interest in fashion, so I really like clothes. Because I’m a girl, I try on pretty things, and when I buy clothes, I get in a good mood.

Do you eat foods well without being picky?
Yes. Surprisingly, I’m not that picky. I like Korean food in particular. In the past, I ate cereal or bread for breakfast, but now, if I don’t eat kimchi and warm soup, my day is tiring. (laughs)

The future can be vague for one person, while it’s specific for others. When you imagine your future 5 years from now, what kind of life do you see unfolding?
I’m really specific. (laughs) This is because, looking at BoA sunbae, I dreamed of becoming a singer and was determined, with a plan of, ‘When I go to Korea, I’m going to at least become like BoA sunbae.’ Honestly, my members and I even say, ‘Did you think we would become like this?’, and I said, ‘Of course. Because I prepared for it completely.’ I think I’m always preparing and planning for the future. And so in 5 years, don’t you think I’d become an artist who seeks her own music, promoting solo like Beyonce? In 5 years, I’ll be 30 years old, so I think I’d also get married. Because I want a family at 30.

So you’re saying you want to have your cake and eat it too?
Yes, I do.

Then, in order to fulfill your future, is there something you’re doing?
It’s been 6 years since we’ve debuted. So if I’ve practiced filling the stage with 9 members until now, I’m practicing filling the stage with 3 members, promoting as the unit ‘TaeTiSeo’ last year. Also, OSTs have been helping with the experience of overwhelming the public with just my voice, without dancing.
is my fourth OST, and I got a little greedy this time around and worked really hard. While recording in the studio, I extended the hours I worked. If you listen to OSTs I sang in the past and this one, there’s probably going to be a big difference. (laughs)

What about your thoughts on marriage? Like you said, what kind of man is your ideal husband?
In the past, my visual ideal type was Jo Insung, but I heard about his relationship not too long ago. (laughs) I actually think my marriage partner would be someone with the same beliefs as me. I’m Christian, there are spouse prayers, and I think God will decide on who will become my husband.

August 1st is your 25th birthday. Is there anything you have planned by any chance?
Girls’ Generation’s debut date is August 2nd. And so we’ve been talking about having a grand celebration together with my birthday and debut anniversary this year. I want to rent out an amusement park and play all day, but I’m not sure if that would work out well. (laughs) If it doesn’t, I’m just going to eat dinner with the members.

Your ‘this or that’ style makes it seem like you’re a radical type.
Yes, that’s right. I’ll either go big or go small.

What’s the biggest personal change for you as of late?
There isn’t anything special.

Then I’ll change the question. What is a personal change you want?
Oh, I thought of something. I’ve been receiving lessons lately. I received a guitar as a gift not too long ago, and a guitar is a bit of a wild instrument, and I’m a bit wild too? And so I’ve been learning piano to become a bit more relaxed, but [the person teaching me] is someone I know personally, so they aren’t strict on me. So I’m looking for an instructor who will scold me while teaching me. Someone who’s really scary.

During interviews, there are words that interviewees particularly put emphasis on. I felt a strong emphasis on ‘acting’, so do you have a desire to become an actress?
Yes. There are images that Girls’ Generation members give off to the public. Like ‘someone acts, someone sings’. I have a strong vocal image, but if given the opportunity, I would really like to act. It’s not that I want to play a lead immediately, but I’m waiting for my first role that can portray me in the prettiest, best way.

Isn’t the term ‘pretty’ defined as to express appearance?
No. It’s just a role that can naturally show my real self. I want a role that is so natural that it makes it look like I’m not even acting.

Specifically, what kind of character?
A bright, strong, astute, and a role kind of like Candy (translator’s note: from the ‘Candy Candy’ anime). (laughs)

You’re reaching your mid-20′s now. What is your life moving towards?
K-Pop is gaining lots of popularity in America. In the past, I thought, ‘It’s Girls’ Generation, why can’t we enter the United States?’, but I think there’s a time for everything. I’m working hard now, waiting for that opportunity. It’s a wisdom that I’ve gained while being active until now, but I think waiting for the right moment is important. If you work hard, your sincerity gets through, and I truly believe an opportunity will come.

[TRANS] Sooyoung: First Look Interview

[TRANS] Sooyoung: First Look Interview
[Cover Story] Simply Beautiful ( vol. 29 )

Sooyoung has been going between being a singer and MC, while also making her place as an actress with the character named ‘Lee Euijin’ in tvN’s ‘The 3rd Hospital’. In front of my eyes, she is talking about the lives of ‘Euijin’ and ‘Sooyoung’, in a soft, calm voice. While she has filled this studio as the muse for designer Song Jain’s ‘J.Lite’ line, at this exact moment.

1ST LOOK: It seems like you keep getting prettier. I can’t call you a 'girl' because I feel you're mature.
SOOYOUNG: Thank you. I want to keep getting prettier. Haha.

1ST LOOK: You’ve been gaining attention as a fashionista lately. Do you normally have a lot of interest in fashion?
SOOYOUNG: While I do like that kind of attention, honestly, it’s burdensome. I just like what’s comfortable. My motto lately is ‘back to basic’. Wearing a white t-shirt with jeans and sneakers look most stylish. It’s a burden trying to meet the expectations as a fashionista. Because I’m starting to like comfortable things.

1ST LOOK: What do you think about the J.Light outfit you wore for today’s shoot? It looks like they’re normally your clothes.
SOOYOUNG: I’ve liked Song Jain’s clothes before I debuted, so I went to see her collections occasionally. I think that the cute teddy bear marking, in particular, shows off her environment-friendly mind well. The design seems like a rider jacket or biker pants, but because the material is washed, it’s comfortable and stylish. If I were to mix and match, similar to today’s photoshoot styling, I think it would be more than enough wearing just J.Light all week.

1ST LOOK: As a fashionista, is there a style you would recommend for this fall?
SOOYOUNG: I’m embarrassed that you called me a fashionista. I think jeans, a cotton t-shirt, a leather jacket and throwing on a scarf indifferently would be nice. I think people look beautiful when they’re most comfortable. I think I will wear J.Light often because of that reason.

1ST LOOK: You’ve made your attempt at a drama through ‘The 3rd Hospital’. I’m curious as to how it was when you were fliming.
SOOYOUNG: At first, I was worried because I thought I’d be nervous, but as I took on each episode, I was able to focus on acting more comfortably. It’s probably because the senior actors helped create a comfortable atmosphere so that I would be able to focus. [Kim] Seungwoo oppa always matched my level, and was considerate. [Oh] Jiho oppa is the type that plays around a lot, and creates a good atmosphere. They also gave me lots of advice on acting. There is a lot to learn, and being able to act with these seniors who shared everything with me itself was a good fortune.

1ST LOOK: What kind of character is the role of 'Lee Euijin'?
SOOYOUNG: While she's a loveable character, on the other hand, I feel that she is a very mature person. At first, she may seem like a light person, but after reading the entire script, the Euijin I got to know is a cool woman who is not afraid of sacrificing herself and getting hurt for love.

1ST LOOK: The role has a crush. An actress who crushes on someone either receives sympathy or hatred. Which do you think you would receive?
SOOYOUNG: If you look closely, she's a 'harmful' character. 'Euijin' is the exact type of person that girls don't like. She falls and spills coffee easliy... I actually worried she's a character that would leave a bad impression. But, they were all actions made to cover the scars of the person she loves. And, because she's a character that acts honestly, I believe viewers will sympathize with her.

1ST LOOK: I heard it's a character that goes back and forth between comedy and tragedy. Which side do you think suits you?
SOOYOUNG: I feel like I've become that character when playing around and have lines that are like that of a comedy. Like the character is really alive. On the other hand, when acting out the emotional scenes, it makes me think that I really am inside this drama. I was able to focus naturally. After acting out a tragic scene, there were many times where I could not even remember how I even acted. At times like that, it makes me think, 'I really did focus then'. Both sides were interesting experiences.

1ST LOOK: As we talked, I noticed that it seems like you really focused on your character. Was acting normally your dream?
SOOYOUNG: I had a greedy side for acting even before I debuted as a singer. Before I debuted as a singer, I went through preparations in order to become an actress. I think I've failed to pass about 70 auditions. Still, I couldn't give up. I worked on it consistently, and little by little. And now, I have been able to take on a role like this.

1ST LOOK: It's unbeliveable that Girls' Generation's Sooyoung took 70 auditions.
SOOYOUNG: 'What [great] work is trying to get to me that I'm having to go through this (having to audition so much)? I dare you to come to me. I'm really going to work hard. I'm going to do my best.' I don't know how many times I've repeated this to myself. But after being greedy and fussing over it, I could see that side of me when acting. Then I would feel uncomfortable... And I would feel sorry to my character. So I put everything down, and, after taking it on with the thought of starting all over again, everything got comfortable.

1ST LOOK: I'm aware that you received a number of offers for other works. Is there a reason why you chose 'The 3rd Hospital' out of all of them?
SOOYOUNG: I liked the fact that the role of Euijin was one that needed to be in the drama. Rather than whether the role I have is big or small, it's more important knowing if the role is present at the center of the story.

1ST LOOK: It's your first time acting in a drama. Were there any difficulties?
SOOYOUNG: Acting with my eyes closed was really hard. Haha. Acting with my eyes closed, acting like I'm sleeping. It was hard having my eyes closed while focusing my sight/attention at one place.

1ST LOOK: Still, I would think critical eyes like negative comments would make it hard.
SOOYOUNG: From the general public's perspective, they're used to singing Sooyoung, and acting Sooyoung is unfamiliar. But, asking for them to love acting Sooyoung like singing Sooyoung would be greedy. The viewers see the end results. Whether it's a reporter or singer, there isn't a person that doesn't have a process. Everyone puts forth effort. So you have no choice but to win through the end result. I'm still at the starting line, so I'm trying to accept those appraisals humbly.

1ST LOOK: Isn't it a big burden?
SOOYOUNG: Worrying about what people might think stops right before I start acting. There isn't any one person that everyone likes. And, if you try to be liked by everyone, I don't think you can be happy. So, if 50 people like me and 50 don't, I feel that I just need to grow more and move the hearts of the remaining people (the 50 that don't like her). I felt more relaxed thinking like that. I try to accept the fact that there are people who will dislike me.

1ST LOOK: Being able to acknowledge that, I feel like you're a lot more mature than I am.
SOOYOUNG: The career of a celebrity is destined to be critiqued and judged by people anyway. If you can't acknowledge those things, don't you think you shouldn't have chosen this career ?

1ST LOOK: What type of person is 'Choi Sooyoung'?
SOOYOUNG: To be honest, I don't know myself well. I thought I didn't like being held in a mold, but, if you look at it another way, being in a mold can be relaxing. You can't say I'm always a relaxed person either, because I try not to break rules that I've set. But if I feel uncomfortable, I break them again... I know for sure that I'm not typical.

1ST LOOK: You can regulate it well with words, but you're a very distressed character.
SOOYOUNG: That's right. People tell me I'm easy-going, but I'm not. I'm a picky person. What I picture when thinking about an easy-going person, is someone who expresses things honestly, but I tend to think about the other person's feelings a bit more. I think I'm timid. [1ST LOOK: You're not timid but careful. A timid person can't be considerate of others' feelings.] The other person being comfortable is what makes me comfortable. And so I pay a lot of attention to the other person's mood.

1ST LOOK: Isn't it time for you to start dating now?
SOOYOUNG: People around me are making a fuss, telling me to date. I wish they would stop now. I think it's a problem that I have to take care of myself. 'Can I ask why you won't date?' It's because I haven't found anyone comfortable enough. My standards aren't high, but I haven't met anyone I can converse with well.

1ST LOOK: A comfortable guy who is not charming, or an uncomfortable, but charming guy. Which would you choose?
SOOYOUNG: The comfortable guy. That is what's charming about him. I think I'm past the age to like bad boys.

1ST LOOK: Really? Girls are attracted to bad boys, regardless of how old you are.
SOOYOUNG: Still, I I like a comfortable person. I want to meet someone who makes me feel comfortable and just enjoy being together. I'm comfortable with the other person being comfortable. So I'm the type that tries to help make the other person feel comfortable. I want to meet a guy who knows that I do this, and makes me feel comfortable.

1ST LOOK: I'm curious as to what type of woman you are.
SOOYOUNG: I am a very comfortable woman. I try to make the other person just as comfortable as they make me feel comfortable. I don't want to make them feel uncomfortable. I want to be a woman that people want to lean on. I'm actually feminine. I make cupcakes and bake cookies. When I get married, I want to cut fruits and take them to my husband at work. I want to show off and be a comfortable girlfriend.

1ST LOOK: What does 'comfort' mean to you?
SOOYOUNG: The most important value in my life!
