[TRANS] 2016.04.27 SONE NOTE LIVE vol 3 with Sooyoung Part 2/2

Trying out golf

Staff: How was your experience with the golf simulator?

Sooyoung: Recently, I've just been thinking of starting up golf. I'm an adult already, right? ^^ (laughs) When thinking about sports for adults, golf comes to mind, so I felt that I should try it out... And then, just when I was thinking about picking it up, I got the plan for experiencing a golf simulator from SONE JAPAN! I thought it'd be good if I learned a little from this opportunity.

Staff: Was it your first time with golf itself?

Sooyoung: When I was a child, my grandfather often taught me how to swing. I was told that it would be good for me to learn it. I was taught in my home's yard, so I didn't know what was what back then; I just did as I was told.

Staff: Around how old were you back then?

Sooyoung: I think I was in elementary school. My memory is vague, however, thanks to that I was able to remember how to grip a golf club. Only I didn't know how to direct the ball or hit it. If I learned properly, I believe that I'll be able to do it well!

Staff: Since it is your first time actually trying it out, how was it?

Sooyoung: I just starting having an interest in golf, so I thought it would be fun and it was really enjoyable! There are people who go to a golf simulator when they have time and I've come to understand that feeling. ^^

Staff: When the coach was an example, you said 'scary', but you properly hit it!

Sooyoung: When I saw the coach's model, I was surprised because I didn't think it needed to be hit so strongly (laughs) The sound when hitting was also really loud...Hitting a ball that hard indoors was really fresh and it was a new experience...it was really fun!

Staff: Is there anyone among the members who plays golf?

Sooyoung: Hyoyeon often goes to a golf simulator. She also likes going to the golf course; she naturally likes exercise!

Staff: Sooyoung, your swing was so great that we really wondered if this was your first time! Do you have good reflexes?

Sooyoung: Really? (laughs) Thank you very much ^^ Compared to the other members, I don't have any reflexes! When I appear on variety shows, I'm not good with any physical activities... But, I feel as if remembering the golf swing pose is similar to dance. Such as lining up the angle of the golf club and the best position for your hands and feet. The coach showed me the postures before and after hitting one by one, and it felt like remembering choreography. I tried to remember it as if it was dance, so I believe I got it down.


Exercise and sports

Staff: You held the heavy looking golf club as if it was light! Do you usually do any exercises for training?

Sooyoung: Recently I've been practicing pilates.

Staff: Pilates seems to be good for muscle training.

Sooyoung: More than having big muscles, it's good to have a balance of small muscles. I think it's good for the spine, lower back, and pelvis.

Staff: What do you wear when you practice pilates?

Sooyoung: The clothing for practicing pilates, to put it in a genre, is what you would wear for dance and exercise...It's in the boundaries of exercise clothing. I wear clothes that is similar to what is usually worn for dance practice for practicing pilates. Since I practice it in everyday life, I feel that's right. I also wear leggings for yoga that makes the body line stand out. I wear that kind of leggings when dancing as well...I don't buy clothes especially for pilates. However, for golf, there's golf wear...I guess you have to wear golf wear when you're playing golf (laughs) There's an image that golf is used as a place for networking, so with that environment maybe golf wear is required for going out on the golf course, but I myself think that normal exercise clothing is good enough ^^

Staff: When you go to a golf course, enjoying the scenery as well as hitting the ball to your heart's content can be a way to reduce stress, but how do you usually relax?

Sooyoung: I love dogs, so I can naturally relax just by being at home with my dogs. Even by doing nothing... (laughs) Also, changing the layout of my room's furniture and changing a familiar environment to a new one is a way to change my mood. Ah! Speaking of changing my mood, I got a piercing recently!

Staff: Was it your first time to get pierced besides your earlobes?

Sooyoung: Yes, until now I've only had one pierce in each earlobe. I didn't have much interest in piercing, however I unexpectedly thought, "Shall I get pierced?", and I did it ^^ I only pierced my right ear, but this really changed up my mood. This good feeling has continued for several days, and just with this I've gotten quite excited (laughs)

Staff: I've gotten into a enjoyable feeling just by hearing it ^^ If you were to go to a golf course for a mood change, which member would you go with?

Sooyoung: I want to try going with everyone once. Yoona seems to have an interest in golf, so going with her seems like fun! Also, it's fun to exercise with Yuri and Hyoyeon. Those two like exercising so it's always exciting... ^^

Staff: Having a golf competition with the members seems great! Do you have competitions betweens members?

Sooyoung: Quite frequently. We often have contests for things like whose words are right! We also compete for things like dance. I believe I'm usually on the winning side. Am I wrong? (laughs)

Staff: Is there another sport besides golf that you'd like to try?

Sooyoung: Hmm... swimming!

Staff: Is that because it's the same as your name? ^^ (swimming in Korean is "Sooyoung")

Sooyoung: (laughs) I'm bad at swimming! I've never learned. I can float, but I can't swim (laughs) So I'd like to actually trying to learn swimming.
