QUESTION: THERE ARE A LOT OF GIRL GROUPS IN K-POP. WHAT ATTRACTION DOES YTT HAVE COMPARED TO OTHER GROUPS?
GUMMY: Most girl groups would first start off with a cutesy, bubbly concept and then go into the y and mature concept afterwards. Though YTT did the same thing, our debut song was one that wasn't too cute or too y; it was in the middle. Since then, we were able to display both a refreshing and mature concept. So I guess YTT's attraction is that we can display different kinds of concepts at the same time. I think that's a big advantage for us.
EIGHT: Also aren't our looks attractive enough?
EVERYONE: *laughs*

EVERYONE: *laughs*
QUESTION: I HEARD THAT YOU GIRLS HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF FEMALE FANS. WHAT'S THE SECRET?
EIGHT: A lot of female fans come to our fansigns and stages. It's easy to like someone of the opposite gender, especially for boy groups. But liking girl groups are difficult. That's why they're very dependable.
JOYCE: I feel as if we display a certain charm that females like, especially since we all have various charms; some of us aren't too girly, some of us aren't too y. We display charms that suit the interest of females, so we're able to gain a lot of female fans. I think that's why they like us so much.

QUESTION: YOU ALL WERE TRAINEES FOR QUITE SOME TIME BEFORE DEBUTING. WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO BECOME A SINGER?
CONNIE: In all honesty, I was always a singer and dancer. I started off with musicals and had even taken classes for singing and dancing. So my decision to become a singer was pretty much set in stone.
DANI: At first my mother disapproved of me training, but after some time, I found a sweet haven in J.Tune since it was both small and felt like home. At a young age, my mother was strict on her view of me, so I would do everything from singing to dancing to harp— you name it and I probably did just that. But, you know, I guess I should thank my mother for allowing me to become an idol.
YEONYUL: I was born to dance, and I always say that when I'm asked such questions. As for singing, I wasn't all too great in singing. But a friend of mine taught me how to rap, so I excelled more and now I'm a member of YTT.
GUMMY: Considering my brother was someone who would spend hours upon hours writing songs and singing his heart out, it was pretty much given that I'd end up like him. Though I didn't excel in singing, I was always known to be a pretty good rapper. At J.Tune, I was always complimented and that boosted my confidence.
RIE: I loved singing so much as a kid, and dancing, too! I come from a family that was really big in singing and acting, so I guess it's self-explanatory for me. I'm at an ancestor age, but I was able to achieve my dream through the support of my family.
EIGHT: I was one of the trainees that was always given opportunities here and there. I sang a lot, I acted a lot, I danced a lot— J.Tune was very kind to me in starting my new idolistic life. They saw what potential I have and would help me to pursue a career.
LYA: I grew fond of rapping and dancing ever since a young age. They were always something that would help me through stress and I learned a lot from my experience. I guess I decided to become a performer for the soul reason of relieving stress? Yeah.
JOYCE: Like Yeonyul, I was born to dance. Although I'm not the main, I am the lead and that's pretty good too, right? Anyway, I was first a trainee under YG, where I later found a love for rapping as well. Like Yeonyul, again, I was taught by two friends of mine.
DANI: At first my mother disapproved of me training, but after some time, I found a sweet haven in J.Tune since it was both small and felt like home.

QUESTION: SOME GROUPS HATE LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSE, BUT DO YOU GIRLS ENJOY IT?
YEONYUL: I honestly love it. Before I would have a hard time with the members, but I grew to love each and every one of them.
LYA: Rather than being friends, it feels like we're more of a family. Even without much conversation, we would know every little detail about each other.
EIGHT: Every night or morning, depending on our schedule, we would always sit around the living room and talk about how are day is. We're pretty close and I love it when we all just sit around and enjoy each other's companies.

QUESTION: DO YOU GIRLS SHARE ROOMS? LET'S OPEN UP ABOUT SOME SECRETS ON YOUR ROOMMATE(S).
GUMMY: It was before that I would share a room with Dani and Joyce. But now I share a room with our maknae for the time being. Yeonyul shares a room with Rie, Eight with Connie and now it's just Dani and Joyce in a room with three beds.
JOYCE: It's honestly so much peaceful in our room now that Gummy's gone. She would always pester us to sleep early and would always wake us up an hour before we should be getting up.
EVERYONE: That's true.
GUMMY: Oh my gosh, do you all hate me?
LYA: Don't worry. I love you, unnie.
JOYCE: It's honestly so much peaceful in our room now that Gummy's gone. She would always pester us to sleep early and would always wake us up an hour before we should be getting up.
EVERYONE: That's true.
GUMMY: Oh my gosh, do you all hate me?
LYA: Don't worry. I love you, unnie.
QUESTION: YOU MENTIONED BEFORE THAT YOU SEE EACH OTHER AS FAMILY. WHAT WOULD YOUR ROLE BE IN THE 'YTT FAMILY'?
GUMMY: I'd 100% be the mother of the group. Not because I'm the leader, but because I always care and watch over everyone carefully.
JOYCE: I feel like I'd be the son that would always be out skating; probably the skater son.
LYA: I'm probably the youngest daughter who somehow got a serious growth spert. I probably got it from Connie, who I think would fit the fatherly type well.
CONNIE: I really don't see myself as the father type, but I do see myself as that grandma who won't stop singing.
LYA: There's such a grandma? My grandma never did that to me.
CONNIE: That's why I'm here for you, Lya.
EIGHT: I'd be that older sister who was the popular kid in school. I don't know, I just feel like that would be my role.
YEONYUL: I'd also be that older sister, but the one who was always dancing in the hallways at school.
RIE: I feel like the adopted child. Or the dog that everyone adopted because I'm reliable and my facial features are alike to a dog's.
DANI: I think I'm the uncle who's sometimes inappropriate, but means well.
RIE: The erted upcle? Yah!
DANI: Rie, don't take it badly!
EVERYONE: Oh my god.

EVERYONE: Oh my god.
QUESTION: IT IS TIME TO PRAISE THE MEMBER NEXT TO YOU.
CONNIE: Dani is such a charming person and she's really dedicated in everything she does. She's hardworking and her voice drips with honey* (*means it's 'sweet').
DANI: Yeonyul is an amazing dancer. I always go to her when I need help with dancing and she won't hesitate to do so. She's a lovely person, both inside and out, and I'm glad to call her both my friend and member.
YEONYUL: Where do I even start with Gummy? She's dedicated, optimistic, confident— she truly is the mother of the group. She cares for each and every one of us as both a good friend and leader.
GUMMY: Although Rie has a kind of temper you don't want to mess with, she's genuinely a great person. She always helps me with my problems when I can't handle them and she does the same to the other members. She's a very trustworthy person and a great person to befriend.
RIE: Eight is always working hard. She trained for a long time and had even gone through a lot, but she endured it well. Ah, and the way she can naturally portray her emotions on stage is amazing.
EIGHT: Lya is our sweet maknae that everyone comes to love. Although she's the tallest one, she's probably the one that radiates with cuteness, even if she doesn't try. She's also super sweet and always has a way in making us all smile like a mom.
LYA: She (Joyce)'s our little sunshine! Sunny Yeonie! She's really athletic, and that's something I envy about her. She's also a friendly and optimistic spirit and she's super fun to be around.
JOYCE: Although Connie is the oldest, she's someone who I can relate and rely on the most. It might be because I'm more comfortable in the sense that we both can speak English, but she's really someone who gets me for me.
DANI: Yeonyul is an amazing dancer. I always go to her when I need help with dancing and she won't hesitate to do so. She's a lovely person, both inside and out, and I'm glad to call her both my friend and member.

QUESTION: WHAT PRAISE DO YOU WANT TO RECEIVE IN THE FUTURE? DO YOU HAVE A GOAL AS A GROUP?
GUMMY: I want to hear that we're a talented group that can pull off any type of concept, even if it's out of our comfort zone. I hope to remain as a group that the public feels like they could approach like a close friend or family member.
LYA: I want to hear that we do well as a whole instead of individually. Since our popularity as individuals ranges since not many of us are seen to the public as often as others, I do hope that people don't just see us as individuals, but as a group.
RIE: I want us to have a title like "The Country's Group" or "The Country's Singers" that will not only be liked by this generation, but even the older generations as well.
