_21 years old, special skill is dance, rapping, beat box
Hong Kong's national fencing team: I was born into an athletic family where my father is a fencer and my mother is a gymnast. So naturally, since I was 10 years old I became a fencer, and I really liked it and dreamed of being an Olympic gold medalist. Then at school I started making music and rapping with my crew, so I began to dream of being a rapper. Could it be fate? In December 2010 I was street-casted into JYP. I wouldn't get an opportunity like this again so I became dedicated to the dream of being a singer.
Korean learned through dramas: I watched a lot of Korean dramas and movies/variety, and in particular I'm a fan of <Rooftop Prince> and <Dream High 1>. My Korean friends at school in Hong Kong also helped me, so now I can understand Korean to a tolerable level.
The strongest member who is like the 'jappeok*' from GIRLS x3's lyrics: Um... I think I'll be pulled back and forth. Isn't confidence the most important thing in life?
An artist I like: I listen to Snoop Dogg's albums a lot. These days it seems like all that comes out in hip hop is bragging about money and name brand items, so I don't care for it much. The hip hop of previous generations is the real deal.
