[TRANS] SEOHYUN INTERVIEW with Spot TV News ② ㅡ http://bit.ly/2BfaKT3


Seohyun stated she would be standing alone from Girls' Generation. While 'forever Girls' Generation' won't change, it is because she wants to test her other potentials. She's going back to basics from the celebrity Seohyun, to the person Seo Ju Hyun, jumping into a new world.

Seohyun debuted with 'Into the New World', and was active with Girls' Generation for 10 years. Including her trainee days, it's been 15 years. After living as a member of Girls' Generation for a long time, Seohyun expressed 'Girls' Generation' saying, "We spent all our time together. They're like family. Rather than people I worked with, they're my youth.""From when I was young and lacking in things, to when I became mature, we spent it all together. It's really precious. We have thoughts of continuing on together. We're in the same group, but we have our own thoughts. We talked about a lot of things while promoting, too. Everyone thought about our careers, and I want to support them. We each have our own paths. Having those paths is natural."

Girls' Generation's Seohyun and Sooyoung did not re-sign with SM. Tiffany is currently attending school in the US. She just left possibilities of activities with SM Entertainment and Girls' Generation open."We said we will never fall as Girls' Generation. It's the difference in the direction of Girls' Generation's activities. Someone who is 17 years old and 27 years old can't have the same direction. I think it changes with the passing of time. It's a big concern thinking about how we're going to continue to maintain Girls' Generation, which was made well over the past 10 years. SM and each of the members don't have an exact answer. We're thinking."

On how she decided to stand alone, Seohyun revealed, "I wanted to look back on myself." She said she was "really really happy" living 10 years as a member of Girls' Generation. She's grateful that she was able to do what she wants without interruption. But she also thinks she only chased the work in front of her."At the time, I thought work was my life, that it was everything. As time passed, I wonder why I only looked at what was in front of me. I feel like I didn't look at my sides or behind me, only the front. I have things I missed as the person Seo Ju Hyun, not the celebrity Seohyun. I have a lot of thoughts."

Finding a perfect environment like SM was "really lucky." She was loved and protected as Girls' Generation's youngest member. Seohyun explained, "I also thought about whether I could do this on my own. I did two things at once, and even thought about work while resting. I never set things down with a relaxed heart. Both my hands were full. It made me wonder how it would be if I let go of what was in one hand. I'm entering my late 20s and my 30s are nearing. I wanted to look back on myself and find some relaxation and start over. I needed a challenge and so I became independent."

However, her affection for Girls' Generation hasn't changed. Seohyun said Girls' Generation is destiny. And that she was able to live as Seohyun until now because they had each other."Even if you say it's an expected answer, the reason I was able to do this and endure things until now is because we had each other. I think it's fortunate that I'm not alone, and I have the unnies. We had hard times because of each other, but there are a lot of times where we were able to get through things because of each other. So I got stronger. [Living as a celebrity,] my mentality has become like steel. I got hit (with life) early on. I started my career early, and the occupation of a celebrity has lots of people watching you. These pressures and responsibilities slowly got bigger. I started like that, so I can't give up, and I thought about how I could survive it and tried different things. I looked for the answer, and I'm still looking."

Saying she still has a long road ahead of her, Seohyun is doing her best as a singer and actress. Especially after taking her first step as an actress, she wants to focus on acting for the time being. There wasn't anything that made her decide this. There's just been a change as she's gotten older, and it's made her think about her life from now on."I'm satisfied with my life so far. Of course, there are things that I regret, but I want to better myself. I think about how I can for it to be sincere. I also wonder what it is that I want. I wonder about the celebrity Seohyun and the person Seo Ju Hyun. I want to try things with my own strength. I want to try everything subjectively, even with any decision or direction I choose."

Seohyun has also grown during the past 10 years. "I ran far and tried to do well. I was able to set that down a bit. While making this decision, I thought about how I would have to let go of what I'm holding in one hand, to grab something else. I didn't choose to become independent because of some kind of confidence. I left because I wanted to have my own self. I also feel anxious. I think I need a bit of that in order to develop more."

The person Seo Ju Hyun is also planning on comfortably enjoying the value of daily life. She said she wants to go on trips, the movies alone, and drink with friends without having to worry about schedules the next day. Seohyun called herself a "27-year old with lots of energy." She added, "I'm normally bright and like a cute fool. I haven't been able to show that side of me."

When told that she looks more relaxed, Seohyun replied, "I used to think I would have to be a certain kind of person and live like that. As time went by, it didn't seem like I had to really do that. I don't really know myself either. I thought I did, but I don't. That was me back then, and my current self is me as well. You don't know how a person can change. A person can't always be the same and consistent. Of course, there are things that are consistent."

Seohyun chose 'good people are the ultimate winners' as her motto for when she wavers. "There was a time when I got confused while working. There are times when I do something with good intentions, but the other person doesn't take it well. I got skeptical. I thought about what I did wrong, and what the problem was. I even felt like I've been living like a fool. But it turned out the results don't make up the end. Accomplishing a lot doesn't mean that you've succeeded either. It could be that I don't have any free time so it makes me want more things. You also wonder if you'll be happy when you get those things. Thinking that I shouldn't be shaken while having thoughts about getting more relaxed helps."

After running breathlessly, Seohyun is planning on relaxing, emptying herself, and studying. She said, "I want to show myself more developed through my next work." While it gets more difficult the more you do it, Seohyun said acting is really fun. She dreams of becoming a humane actor, and she said she wants to live a bit more freely and show people what kind of person she is.

Seohyun said, "This is just the beginning. I want to age coolly. There is no answer. Doing things that you want without reserve is also great. I want to live with myself at the center without minding others. I want to act sincerely. I want to do real acting that can draw out understanding, and read people's hearts."
