just seohyun's quotes again from an interview ㅡ http://bit.ly/2BftxN4
"This was a year with a beginning, middle, and end. I rested for the first time in 10 years, without thinking about schedules. I lazily watched dramas, and went on a trip to the hot springs in Japan. I felt 'I needed this kind of break'."
"Girls' Generation members met for the first time when we didn't know anything. Together, we experienced our teen years up to our early 20s, as well as our entrance and graduation from university. The unnies say 'it's like raising a kid'. (laughs) Since we watched each other grow up. We also experienced our adolescence together. There's a feeling of a kind of affection. The song 'Running' by SES is something I can really relate to."
"While resting, I realized I ran forward, only looking at what was in front of me. The thought occurred to me that I was quite out of breath. I plan on taking a trip to the US next month. I'm going to meet Tiffany unnie there. I think Tiffany unnie was like me. When I think about how difficult it must have been for her living in a different culture from the US the past 10 years, she would have really missed her hometown."
"Of course, there was trial and error coming this far. You know how they say there's no answer to life. We got strength from each other with the point that we're not alone, but are doing this together. I know that the synergy is greatest when all the members of Girls' Generation are together. Even if there's something bothering us before going on stage, we look each other in the eyes and send a silent message saying, 'Let's do well. I'm by your side'. I think those attitudes helped us grow."
(on how she's going to be on her own now...)
"I talked with my members the most. From the most trivial things, to serious ones. When we meet, our conversations don't end, so we really talk about everything. I was told things by lots of people, but I think my thoughts were the biggest thing. My parents also worried a lot, but I convinced them saying, 'This is what I want'. I think it's now time for me to find what that is."
(reason behind her choosing to stand alone...)
"I think I was happy every moment while being active the past 10 years. For a while now, I've been thinking, 'Am I just settling too much?'. At that time, I thought that was the right thing to do, and lived doing my best. But I didn't have much freedom in my heart, and I tried holding onto everything in my two hands. Rather than being in this good environment, receiving love as the youngest member, with myself facing 30 in 3 years, I wanted to take on a new challenge. I got the thought that I want to try setting everything down."
(similarities between Seohyun and her drama character, Kang Soju...)
"Every now and then, my manager would get surprised and ask, 'Seohyun, aren't you too similar to Soju?'. I got a bit more easy-going while acting, and the way I talk has gotten a bit rougher."
"I started my career at 17. I'm grateful that I was able to start so early. Even now, social life is hard. Especially when it comes to relationships, I feel like there's no answer to maintaining them. So there are a lot of things that don't go my way. In the past, I would go out covering myself up completely since 'I have a job where I have to look pretty when my picture gets taken'. But now, I go out without even wearing any bb cream. I wonder, 'Is this a bit too much?', but I'm not a fictitious character on TV. I want to become comfortable, showing that I'm just a person living their daily life. I want to test my potential while being relaxed like that."
