Seolhyun's Instyle September Issue interview " I want to accept myself as I am and love myself more. "
Q : What kind of director do you think he is?
Seolhyun : I'm so thankful that he is treating me well (comfortably) and giving me guidance nicely. Even though he used to practice martial arts but he's a very delicate person. If I tell him that I think it's not good enough and ask him to take more shoot, he would look at the result and say that it's good enough or if it's lacking he would say let's keep trying. One day, I finished filming but it seems like the result is lacking something. So I asked the director to take one more shoot but he said that it's good enough and that i did well. After I erased my makeup, I felt so bad that I can't help but cried. When I was crying, my seniors said "It's admirable to see that you're greedy to do well right now, with that attitude you'll work harder next time and do well". That was so comforting.
Q : You must have felt so sad
Seolhyun : I think I really want to do well with this movie. So I think about it almost everyday. I feel sad when i think that I can't make it, so I put more effort and work harder next time, and then I work harder again on the next shoot. I think I've tried a lot.
Q : Do you have any favorite character in your favorite drama or movie?
Seolhyun : Alice character played by Natalie Portman in <Closer>. Anna, Dan and Larry don't know about their feelings and even though they do know about it they can't be honest about their feelings because of various situations. Only Alice is honest with her feelings. When she misses someone, she tells them about it. And she tells her loved ones that she love them. It's fascinating to say that after the relationship is over, you don't love them anymore. For drama, I like Han Yeo Reum character in <Discovery of Love>, that character was played by Jung Yu Mi sunbaenim. It's a character who expresses her feelings honestly like alice. I'm impressed that when she has gone through break up, she becomes a character who keeps their secrets and maintains a stable relationship with her ex-love.
Q : I've heard that you tend to be shy around strangers. If you work in the entertainment industry you will have to meet a lot of new people. how do you adjust?
Seolhyun : When I meet new people, I try not to care and wonder about their true intentions or sincerity. We may have some thoughts but we need to be considerate to each other. After being hurt in any way, I don't think it makes much sense to claim people's sincerity. So i think its right to behave with polite manner to each other before that.
Q : What are you trying to focus in life right now?
Seolhyun : I want to look back, ask a lot of questions on myself and I want to find the answer. If I don't try to look myself properly, I can't live outside what other say about me. I get influenced by other very easily.
Q : I guess it's also because of your career as an entertainer
Seolhyun : Because I'm working in this field that need to listen to a lot of people, so I get easily influenced even more.
Q : On the outside, It seems like there's nothing more that you wish for in your life.. But I think you have a lot worries that you keep it for yourself. For now, is there anything you want to fill out in your life?
Seolhyun : I want to believe and love myself more. I think I'm a little lacking in that aspect. There are a lot of situations to be thankful for but there are a lot of times when I don't feel happy because I think I'm not doing enough. I want to accept myself as I am and love myself more.
Q : I'm curious, what do you think is the most comforting word you've heard?
Seolhyun : It doesn't have to be a word, I get a lot of strength from people who have been supporting me by my side.
