Q: "Why is the show called Unpretty when there is no one who is ugly?"

I thought it was because we were considered ugly at first too but the title isn't meant that way but rather meant to describe girls who don't act pretty, although there are still kids who act pretty. Haha."

Q. "Is the hard exterior you see on TV the real you?"

It's me. I'm intimidating when it comes to my gaze and stuff. I'm human too, you can't always expect me to be happy. I still have a cute and sensitive side to me, though. I'm an honest person. Everyone on TV acts fake but I want to show who I really am as is.

Q. "You're known for being intimidating on the show, wouldn't that bring more antis?"

I was worried too about how my image would be perceived by others but this is a hip hop program. I wanted to show people who I honestly am. I never acted fake, although Mnet's editing might have something to do with it too. I'm sure the more you watch of the show, the more you'll see that I'm not just an intimidating unni. I'm nice when I can be.
