interview solo interview workshop

family and childhood, it brought back so many memories for jisoo. back from when they lived in in los angeles, back when she was younger, back when she was an eager little kid (even though she’s still quite eager, just not as little anymore). topics like these are like a little reflection on the past, the years growing up, things that have happened over the years that have really shaped her into the person she is today. it fills her with a sense of nostalgia as well as longing, a specific type of reminiscent from back in those childhood days.

she’s actually excited to delve into her past, into the old days and talk about her family and childhood. she didn’t get to speak about it much, and she finds it enjoyable to be able to think back to where she was years ago and to where she is now. it makes her realise just how far she’s come, how much progress she’s made over the years. how she’s changed from a young child, into a young woman.

so sat down on the chair, coach in front of her, she starts the practice interview with a grin.

how would you describe your family?

jisoo laughs lightly, legs crossed as she tucks a strand of hair out of her face. “big.” she responds. “i’m the oldest child, and i sort of followed the idol road as well. we originally lived in los angeles, but we moved to seoul when i was around fourteen? and i’m twenty four now, so we’ve been here a while. but i love my family, i love my parents a lot and i especially love my younger siblings, even if they can be a pain sometimes.” she jokes, teasing tone to her words. realistically, jisoo was probably more of a pain than they were, but it was all out of love. “it’s actually nice to be close by to them, actually, because it doesn’t feel as lonely at times.”

out of all of your memories, which stands out most clearly?

“hmm,” she hums to herself, head raised as she thinks back to a clear memory that sticks out the most. quite a few stick out to her, but one of the main ones is when she first really acknowledged the buskers which is how she became so invested in music. “for me, i think the memory that stands out the most is when i really realised i wanted to pursue a career in music. i started learning how to rap through watching youtube videos, but seeing people busk in hongdae and things like that is how i came to love music so much. it was just a big realisation to me, and it sort of felt like a new step.”

what’s one piece of advice you would give to your younger self?

“i think, one piece of advice i’d give to my younger self.. i think it would be to not give up.” jisoo admits, nodding her head with a soft smile on her face. there were definitely times when she felt like the thread was slipping from the seams, where she felt like her grasp on her dream was getting weaker and weaker. that when she would take one step, sometimes it would be two steps back and all back to square one. “it’s not easy and you definitely have days where your confidence is low, but don’t give up. keep trying, if you fall down, get back up and try again. it’s all a learning curve.”
