OhBoy! Magazine March Issue - f(Krystal) Interview: A Good Day Being Alone By Keyle Danielle Sia on Sunday, March 16, 2014 at 1:40pm People always ask 21-year-old Krystal about tomorrow. Although Krystal ordinarily coordinates herself to today she thinks a great deal about tomorrow on days when she is alone. No matter what type of tomorrow comes, she looked like she would face it with a calm and sturdy attitude. Krystal began to play the piano. Then just a moment later she lifted the train of her dress and began to sway side to side and dance, and mussed her hair with a dryer. As though she had become the master of that space, she was not unnecessarily watching for the stares of others, nor was there a need for her to be conscious of them. We wanted to offer her a day in a very comfortable and personal space and she, who spent her twentieth year very hectically, took command of the time without hesitation. You showed the epitome of playing by yourself at todays shoot. I wanted to try a shoot with an uninhibited and natural concept rather than something standardized. I think that in some ways I quite enjoy alone time. When I dont have anything in my schedule I mostly tend to stay at home, and even if I do meet up with someone theyre usually someone Ive known for a long time. Its because I feel pressure and trepidation when meeting new people. Now that I think about it, there was an awkward energy when you were filming the first cut at todays shoot. Haha. Because this isnt an underground studio and it feels like Ive entered a room. Because this space feels really comfortable I jump on the bed and lay down on the sofa too, but I was flustered when unfamiliar people collectively watched me. What do you mostly do during your alone time. Its just as I showed you today. Sometimes I lay down quietly, and like most people I watch movies or listen to music. Lately Ive been thinking a lot. When youre alone various thoughts occur to you. What do you think so much about. I dont know why time is passing by so quickly. I was twenty last year, and it feels like a year flew by too quickly. When something comes to an end I need time to reorganize, but last year was really busy with no time to do that. I might feel that way even more because when I fixate on something Im the type to think only about that. Amidst that, The Inheritors elicited a fervent reaction. As it was my first drama my resolve towards it was different. I made a resolution to work really hard, but when I actually came up against it I was scared. During the early period of filming I had no confidence and even lost my nerve. When I thought about it after time passed by, I think it was because I had been unable to adjust to a foreign environment. I had to collaborate with people I met for the first time and the environment of a drama filming set was unfamiliar. Fortunately, because I worked with good staff members and actors I grew affection and made good memories. From time to time I miss those moments now. Who is the actor you grew affectionate of enough that you still miss them now. As I said earlier, I dont quickly become friendly with people I meet for the first time. But as with most people, I think I change depending on who I meet. Since I cant approach others first Im thankful towards people who approach me, and I tend to open up to them. Shin-hye unnie always took good care of me and doted on me, so I followed her well. It hadnt been that long since we met, but we understood each other well. Since we had many scenes together I also become close to Min-hyuk oppa, who appeared as my boyfriend, and Hyung-shik oppa as well. There must be a scene that was more difficult because of the unfamiliar environment. That would have to be acting cutesy? (laughter) I think I had to act cutesy in every scene. But it wasnt just regular cutesy, Bonas style is to act cutesy without holding back. If I did it lightly because it was so cringe-worthy the director would try to draw the cutesiness out again. My first filming was a scene in which I was jealous upon seeing Eun-sang (Park Shin-hye) with my boyfriend at a cafe. I remember that acting jealous was more awkward and difficult because the actors were still unaccustomed to one another as it was our first time. As acting is done by people, did you project a certain degree of yourself into your character. Of course. There is a little bit of my own image in both Ahn Soo-jung of High Kick and Bona of The Inheritors. But isnt Ahn Soojung just too much. Shes a really unstoppable character; no matter how frank I am its not to that extent. What I have in common with Bona is that Im kind? Why is everyone staring? (laughter) Thats a joke. Bona is softhearted even though she pretends she isnt, and looks after others. That characteristic is similar to me. I really cant openly look after others and make a show of it. Even if I give a gift I dont go, This is a gift I bought while thinking of you, but instead I just put it out there like, Here, a gift. Now that I think about it, both characters are the frank and cool self-assured styles of the new generation. Yes. But no one is cool and self-assured in all aspects. To be honest, my blood type is A. At first I just brushed aside talk about blood types, but I feel like Koreans are particularly fixated on blood types. So now there are times when I think about the characteristics of each blood type when I look at someone. Everyone tells me that I seem like a blood type B, but while its true that I am frank there definitely is a timidness to me as well. Because everyone possesses a duality. Then what kind of person do you think of yourself as. Im not the type to get along or laugh freely with people I meet for the first time, so when people see my expression they usually say that I look cold or even ask if Im mad. I was just standing there, so I realized for the first time that I appear that way after hearing those kinds of comments. But the people around me know that Im not like that. Truthfully, Im more affectionate and fragile-hearted than people think. When people mention Krystal, isnt the modifier fashionista often added. I like minimal and simple styles. I dont have a special concept for airport fashion or day-to-day fashion. Since I was really young, concisely matching a t-shirt with a pair of jeans matched me the best so I dressed like that often and I think that became something like my trademark. But is that a unique style? Dont most people wear t-shirts with jeans. Oh, this isnt me trying to act superior. (laughter) Then lets choose just one outfit among the clothes you tried on today that you liked best. These arent empty words, I really liked them all. But if I have to pick just one, the denim shorts and blouse that I wore when I was laying down on the sofa at the beginning. Both items are clothes I could naturally wear while going around on a normal day. You have to be diligent to dress well, do you try putting together outfits at home. Thats truthfully a bit of a bother. (laughter) I dont actually try them on, I match items in my head. I try on what I matched together in my head before going out, and if it doesnt look good then I rush to change. In terms of diligence, I organize my clothes really well. Ive had the habit of organzing my own clothes ever since I was young, and wouldnt even let my mom touch my closet. I hated things getting disorderly. Its to the extent of my mom and sister asking me to organize their closets for them. I hang outter clothes by length, shirts and knitwear by pattern. Its cumbersome to even find clothes if I dont do that. Is there something youre fixated on other than fashion lately. After finishing up the drama at the end of last year I had a free week. At the time I wanted a film camera really badly, so I researched different models day and night and asked photographers I know about good models. Doing that, a week or two zipped past and in the end I wasnt able to buy one. What are you thinking about taking photos of first if you buy a film camera. Sorry, but thats still a secret. I havent decided if its going to be a person or scenery yet. I could reveal it later on or just keep it as a personal collection. I love photographs, so even if its not to the point of being an expert, I want to learn it as a hobby. I really like the vintage and classic feel of vintage cameras. In a past interview you said you wanted to get your drivers license, have you succeeded in that. Now that I think about it, I havent gotten it yet. Time is really fast. I get surprised because its a new year but I still often find myself saying that 2014 is next year. When Im at home and have the time, driving is what I want to do most. I feel so stuffy that I want to go out to some place, but even if I go out alone its not easy to freely walk around or go where I want. I would be reinvigorated if I could drive my own car and get some air. Rather than a small car, I want a car thats classic yet with an angular design. I have a few designs Ive looked at, but because those designs are often seen on the road nowadays Ive lost my interest. I want a car with a design that other people dont have, but since everyone recognizes whats pretty I dont know if thats possible. Do you tend to make plans and stick to those plans. Rather than that, I tend to outline plans to a certain extent. I think about long-term plans up to the point where its not too pressuring, and every time I do that the last thought I have is this: Even if I make plans and put them into practice, when the time comes my thoughts might change or some other factor might come into play. You must not have many regrets in regards to past events. No, Im human so how could I not have regrets. Doesnt everyone feel regret a few times, wondering why they did something. But rather than having regrets, I think more about myself in the future. Curiosity over what Ill be doing in the future comes before definite thoughts about what I want to do. What will happen if I choose this path, what will happen if I choose that path. Because depending on my decision, roots will take place and spread in different directions. Theres a saying that every person is given three chances. Depending on your choice, those chances can change. I dont know. I havent given much thought to those chances. Wouldnt my being cast and debuting be one of those chances. I hope that I get many chances both personally and professionally, but those things dont just happen according to what I want. And I dont think its particularly good to get ahead of myself and think too deeply about those chances. You dont appear impatient. You may disagree, but that right there is coolness and self-assuredness. Honestly, I dont understand impatient people. Most people want to do everything quickly. Or only want to do big things. But just because you think that way doesnt mean things will happen as you want them to, and I think that if you want to achieve an outcome you need to look at the long-term picture. If you dont, then I think youll just receive stress because you havent achieved an outcome immediately. What about acting. Dont you think about wanting to meet yet another side of yourself through a role. The senior actors around me gave me a lot of advice about needing a lot of experience in order for my emotions to grow rich. But because gaining experience doesnt happen within a short period, I dont want to grow greedy over roles now. Im still only twenty-one, so it would be good to start slowly with small roles step-by-step. I think it will be okay to take more time to earnestly express emotional range. Its February now. It seems like its time to do a countdown of the past year and think about the goals you set. My goal is to take one step up. That applies to my work, and I want to become a bit more mature minded personally as well. I use the term one step because rather than making a shocking transformation I want to take things step-by-step in an orderly way. Do you think about what type of person you want to become. Just myself. Truthfully Ive never thought about wanting to become like someone else. I can like someone, but I dont think of that person as my role model or style icon. I should take the good qualities each person possesses and combine them and add in my individuality to create a style. Being most like myself is what I like best. Because I have to be myself in order to make something that is completely mine. Though, of course, it wont be easy. Source: The Celebrity Translation: 0wonhee @ iheartfx
