Nylon: We had an interview in February last year, right? At that time, you said your goals were to buy a camera or to get a driver’s license but as I watched OnStyle Jessica & Krystal, it looked like your driving skills got better.
Krystal: I still drive like usual when I have spare time. I bought a camera that the photographer o[pa who took Electric Shock and Pink Tape jacket album recommended me at New York. I took a lot of pictures when I went to New York but when I returned to Korea I don’t go out much so I have nothing to take. I will take pictures again when f(x) starts the promotion.
Nylon: After ‘My Loveable Girl’ drama, you went on a vacation? What were your thoughts while you traveled?
Krystal: I think there were some rise and falls on emotions. Some emotions are hard to sort out, can’t seem to find the answer to it.
Nylon: When emotions get complicated, nothing beats travelling right?
Krystal: I’ve always liked travelling around; the places I’ve gone to these days have left me with many beautiful memories. Especially when I went to New York, it’s something I will never forget. My best friends study at an American university; they often go to New York too. This time, I had a feeling of security compared to before; I like the city, the city with the people with me sounds more appropriate.*
Nylon: When travelling you cannot miss out on the fun, anything you think you feel really happy after buying?
Krystal: I’m collecting some kitchenware lately, and recently I went to London and brought some plates back, I was so afraid they would break so I wrapped them up really tight (laughs). When I’m eating at home, putting the food on the plate I like that my mood becomes really good.
Nylon: Seems like you are the one that had the long hair the longest period of time as compared to the members?
Krystal: I would like to try having short hair some day, because until now there hasn’t been any good chance for it. As long as there’s time, my hair will grow back so I’m not afraid of cutting it.
Nylon: What will you do after you finish the photoshoot? Spending time with your beloved people?
Krystal: Today is f(x)’s 6th anniversary and Luna unnie’s first In The Heights musical performance, I will make surprise visit after I finish this photoshoot. I’m always in charge of preparing delicious cakes so I chose the cake before the photoshoot.
Nylon: Current playlist?
Krystal: I’m listening to Phony Ppl’s Yesterday’s Tomorrow album often and The Internet’s Ego Death on an endless loop.
Nylon: Any moment when you felt sensitive towards age?
Krystal: Because I started in this industry when I was in my teens, maybe I have a different feeling as compared to people who are the same age as me. Sometimes I will think “Ahhh….I’m already in my 20’s, I’m no longer the youngest.” New stylist and makeup artists are calling me ‘Unnie’ right now and whenever they use formal words to me I will get flustered (laughs). But as my age increases, as compared to me growing up, at a certain point of time I’ve already accumulated numerous experiences and have become really composed.
Nylon: To Krystal, what are the conditions you need to become happy?
Krystal: Of course the environment around you is very important. Having the people who like and cherish you and the people I like and I cherish. Without those people, there will be a very very big difference. If you have such people on your table will be perfect too.
Nylon: Any thoughts of wanting to become ‘this kind’ of person in the future?
Krystal: I’ve been living life being able to adapt to different circumstances in the past. When an opportunity arrives it's good to grab it while you can but if I missed it I won’t feel sad too. I don’t like being entangled, when I’m unhappy, it will appear on my face and when my state of mind is peaceful my face will then show happiness, so I can give energy to the people around me.
Nylon: This year is ending soon, will be starting new activities soon too, how do u want 2015 to end?
Krystal: Honestly, there weren’t any wish nor goals I wished to achieve at the start of the year. The thought of wanting to rest became a lot, I’ve been wanting to travel around too and I think I’ve fulfilled this part already. Whatever it is, this year passed by really fast. Nothing I’ve regretted and nothing I’d wish it would start all over again. All I want is to gather all the energy of the things I haven’t done in the past few months and put it in the upcoming months.
