1st Look: How does it feel living as an idol?
Krystal: I’m not sure. Like how anything has two sides, it is fun living with two appearances, but it’s also difficult. It hasn’t really sunk in as to what my occupation is, so I’m not sure what it means for me to be living as an idol. Just, on stage, I’m Krystal, but off stage, I’m Jung Soojung. Of course, it can’t be differentiated perfectly like that. In front of the camera right now, I’m Krystal, but at the same time, I’m Jung Soojung with my older sister.
1st Look: You debuted as a young girl and have become a lady. Visually, you still seem like a young girl, but what kind of woman are you? You show some unexpected tenacity.
Jessica: A woman! That’s right. I’ve become a woman now. But I’m still sucking in and accepting it. I’m going to develop a bit more, and the confidence as to what kind of person I am will become stronger. It’s difficult for me to organize and answer ‘What kind of woman are you?’ right now. But I always want to be an honest, confident lady. Being honest is something that needs courage and conviction. And so, of course, I would need to be confident.
1st Look: To be honest, I was surprised when you said it would be okay to have pizza for lunch. I didn’t think you ate pizza.
Jessica: I really like eating. I have to eat what I want. Of course, while I do think of each meal importantly, I don’t eat following a time table. Of course, I consistently exercise and work hard as well.
1st Look: I honestly was surprised because you were so pretty. How can you maintain this kind of body and skin while eating pizza?
Jessica: There could be people who are naturally born that way, but for me, it’s almost all effort. I need to drink a lot of water, and consistently exercise. Living happily and thinking positively are also required. While special diets and exercises are good, mental freedom and positive thinking help a lot.
1st Look: Meanwhile, Krystal’s sullen expressions have some kind of innocence, as well as a elegance and charisma. You said you don’t like acting pretty, but you made cute facial expressions well.
Krystal: I don’t try to look pretty or cute. I don’t really like purposefully creating a certain image. It’s more comfortable for me to express my emotions straightforwardly without any filters. That might be why you can see charisma in my sullen expressions. Innocent and graceful images are probably just coming from my honest emotions. I’m like my sister, not being fake and showing how I feel as is. I like that too, to be honest.
1st Look: If that’s the case, honestly. The way you don’t blink in front of numerous cameras, do you take after your parents? Or was that acquired?
Krystal: Um. Neither. It was just okay for me. I just didn’t blink because my eyes didn’t hurt and I didn’t feel uncomfortable.
1st Look: How does it feel sharing, not just your private life, but your public life with your family?
Jessica: It’s all enjoyable. This kind of opportunity doesn’t come to everyone does it? I’m lucky being able to be on a program with my younger sister, showing our true selves, and I also think of it as a blessing. We can see sides of one another that we couldn’t before, as well as how different we are when we’re together, and how similar we are when we’re apart from each other. Also, Krystal is a reliable little sister that I can depend on in many ways. I can share all parts of my life with her, and it’s really comforting and a relief that we can generally understand each other without saying anything.
Krystal: When I’m with my sister, being able to show myself as is is fun and relaxing. I never thought to myself, ‘I’m sharing my public life with my sister as well’, but I do think leaving behind various photos and videos of us working together would become good memories later on. But, if I also make a mistake or do something wrong, it impacts my sister, so I don’t think I can just think of it easily.
1st Look: What kind of influence does Jessica have on Krystal?
Krystal: She’s really adamant. I think she’s always sure about things. I guess she’s gentle yet has tenacity. Her firmness is something that I want to learn the most. I’m always learning and also being influenced. I often think that I’m a little sister who isn’t much help to my sister. My sister is my life’s biggest indicator. She’s always guided me a lot since school, my trainee days, and even after I debuted. I think we’re here together right now thanks to my sister.
1st Look: What kind of younger sister is Krystal to Jessica?
Jessica: She’s a very reliable sister. Soojung has a mature side as well as a childlike innocence. When I’m having a hard time, feeling lonely or sad, I could lean on her and be comforted. There are a lot of times where I take care of Soojung, and there are also a lot of times where the opposite is happening. I want to be like an older sister that’s like a friend, but Soojung becomes my guardian every now and then. It’s difficult and upsetting just thinking about a reality without Soojung. I don’t even want to think about it seriously.
