[TRANS] 160324 f(Krystal) = GQ Magazine March Issue Interview

GQ: How do you feel on days you have an interview?
Krystal: I don’t feel anything in particular. (laughs) But yeah, I do think I’m a little afraid of interviews.

GQ: You’re scared?
Krystal:
I’m sure you’ll see when we start talking but I tend to be honest, so I find myself having to ‘stop’ myself. I think I tend to reveal a lot about myself once I start talking.

GQ: Do you have a lot of secrets?
Krystal:
I wouldn’t say ‘secrets’, just things I’d rather not say. Like things I’d rather not tell my fans, or just things I’d rather keep private. I think everybody has those things. I tend to stay along by myself in my room. But I have a job where I have to always be out and always have people looking at me. So I like having something to keep to myself. I’ve filled my room with things that I love. Things that only I know. (laughs)

GQ: I have this preconception that because you have such distinct tastes and preferences, you really like sharing them. But what is something that you really want to keep to yourself?
Krystal:
I don’t want to tell you. (laughs) It’s just that, really. (laughs)

GQ: There are times you want to share, and times you want to just enjoy for yourself.
Krystal:
Exactly. There are things that heal me, and I’ve kept them hidden in my room.

GQ: If you were to describe that room, I feel like it’d make it seem more mysterious.
Krystal:
I like opening my windows often, especially at night when the cold breeze comes in. That cold air gets mixed with the warmth of the room, and my body is warm but the air is refreshing. I always like letting air in no matter the season. But there are times when I just close the curtains and keep it dark in my room even during the day. I like calling them devil’s curtains. (laughs) And I turn on a very soft light. Then you can’t tell if it’s 2 in the afternoon or 10 o’clock in the night. My mom nags a lot saying I’m wasting electricity during the day. (laughs)

[INTERVIEW] Luna Q&A with TimeOut Seoul

Q&A : f(x)’s Luna

Even prior to her recent spotlight on MBC’s new show Mystery Music Show Mask King, Luna has been singing for quite some time now.

Envied for her bright and active personality, here she gives us the inside scoop on SGC, her fashion and future aspirations.

It’s been seven years since you first debuted and you have been working since you were young. Where do you get the energy?
Even when I’m really busy, I try to spend quality time with my parents. I get advice about my dreams and goals and as well as direction from those I love and respect. After spending time with them, I naturally try hard to work on myself to be more diligence and responsibility. I think a lot about how I can be a good influence for the people I love.

Who is your role model?

The singer Lena Park. Two years ago, I suddenly became very disappointed in my inability to
show my identity as a singer. Then I happened to practice Park’s song “Next Year” and found
courage to sing again. Just singing the song everyday made me miraculously happy. I hope one day I can be that person who gives inspiration.

What’s a new area that you would like to try next?

Right now, I’m performing as a singer. But eventually, I would like to get into acting for
melodrama or romance movies. I really like the movies, The Notebook and PS. I Love You. I would like to play an earnest or static character. You are going to be the host for SGC where
many idol groups are performing.

How are you preparing for this?

I’m not trying to stand out. As I host the show, I just hope that people enjoy the SGC and are happy. I’m not the funniest person out there but I will try my best.

[TRANS] 150318 f(Krystal) = Dazed Magazine April Issue Interview

It’s been a few months since ‘My Lovely Girl’ ended. How’ve you been spending your time?
I don’t have album promotions right now, so I have been traveling. I also have photoshoots here and there like today.

This photoshoot started from your idea. It started with a photo of Kate Moss from the mid-1990s, where she gave off a rebellious feel as a grunge girl. This picture seems like it was from even before you were born. Did you want to try out this 1990s style?
Yes. I remember for the most part everything from the 2000s, but I don’t remember anything from the 1990s in which I was born. So I always end up searching for that decade’s music, look, movies, furniture, and so on. I also have a lot of interest in the 1920s through 1980s. I’m only interested in styles from the past, so it’s becoming a problem.

I’m surprised to hear you be able to explain your feelings about these fashion pictures so clearly. It makes me wonder ‘what kind of childhood did she have that she’s able to feel that way?’
First of all, I love art. I have a lot of friends who are majoring in art, and a lot of friends I have made recently are affiliated with art, so I think I naturally get influenced by them. When I was young, my mother used to show us classic movies.

[TRANS] 150130 f(Luna) = BNT News Interview: “I’ll love my members more this year”

Full Photoshoot

Q. You’ve gotten very pretty. You’ve heard these words a lot recently, haven’t you?

Ah, thank you. I’ve heard them a lot after I cut my bangs.

Q. Although you’ve been asked this a lot, what is the meaning behind your name ‘Luna’?

I said this a lot during my debut days but I’m a little embarrassed because it’s been a while? Luna means ‘the moon’s fairy’. The girl who illuminates the dark, the moon’s goddess.

Q. Luna smiles quite well. That appearance is very good. When do you like your appearance the most?

Reporter, this is the first time I receive such a question. Whoa, that’s a question that makes you think. Um, when I sing? And during photoshoots.
