Chracter Info 

 

Annyeong! Nice to meet you! We heard your part of the new girl group Flawless, were here to interveiw your for today! Hows it going?

Hello! Nice to meet you too! It's been great! I feel really fortunate that I am in a group that is a collaboration of two of the 'Big 3'! 

 

Okay then, whats your full name? Do you have a stage name? If so, what is it?

 

 

I am Joyce Park or frequently known as Park HyunJung and my stage name is just my name, HyunJung(:

My members call me Hyunnie, Hyun or Jung. My friends in school gave me nicknames like Jo, which is because of my English name, and Tokki(Rabbit),

because they say I look a little like one? HAHA! >.<

 

Interesting, what's your age, height and wheight?

I am 18 internationally and 19 in Korea. My height is 168cm and my weight is 45kg.

 

Thank you! Can you tell us a bit about your background? Where are you from? How did you grow up? Are you full Korean? The more details the better, our readers would love to hear about you! 

Sure! ^^ I am a full Korean. I was born in Seoul, South Korea on the 6th of November in 1994 and have been staying here since. I have two older brothers, Park ChanYeol, yes EXO's very own Park ChanYeol, and Park ChanWoo. All of us are November babies with ChanYeol born on the 27th of November 1992, and ChanWoo on the 18th of November 1993. Although my parents were not by our side every single day just like other parent do due to their work, we were contented with what we have. We were happy that we are healthy and living together even though most of the time there were only the three of us. We had no worries as long as we were together. My brothers then left me one by one, ChanYeol joined SM Entertainment in 2008 and ChanWoo went to further his studies in UK in the midst of 2009. It is awkward for me to say this, but my parents are always working and have no time for me and even if they are at home, all they would talk about will be my studies, and how sorry they are that they could not fork out time for us. So, after my brothers left, I live alone in a big house and I would sometimes feel lonely.

When I was young, I used to listen to mostly English songs. But when I randomly flipped the Television channels one day and came upon K-POP, I got hooked up by the catchy rhythms and lyrics. At that time, I took notice of 2 successful artists, the Kings of K-POP, Super Junior seonbae-nim, and Queen of K-POP, BoA seonbae-nim. I felt that my chances of achieving my dream increased as K-POP is slowly getting known to people from all over the world. My hopes of getting into the singing industry got higher and I started to prepare herself by practicing my singing in front of the mirror everyday and trying to sing in front of others. But, I slowly forgot my dream when studies became my priority. One night, when I was listening to BoA seonbae-nim's 'Hope' playing on my Ipod while doing homework, I suddenly remembered I dream that only I, myself know, not even my brothers. I saw an SM Audition poster posted on a bulletin board at a bus-stop near my house that afternoon when I came home from school. I wanted to go for the audition, that was on for the past two days. However, I also wanted to get my scholarship to study overseas. As the next day will be the last day of audition, I could not sleep the whole night. My mind was battling with my heart, weighing the pros and cons. Finally, my heart won, and I decided that I will go for the audition.

I met KyuHyun seonbae-nim and BoA seonbae-nim the day I went for the second round of audition. They were near the audition room that day after their lunch and they said they were awed by my vocal skills. So, they approached me and wished me luck when I was waiting for the results. Since they were free for that afternoon, they accompanied me through the waiting and I gained some tips from them on how to become a great and successful singer. I was then announced that I got accepted as a trainee in S.M Entertainment and I thanked the two singers for their support. BoA seonbae-nim, being a friendly lady she is, suggested for us to exchange numbers. Since then, we always contact each other through the phone and once in a while, we will meet up for meals. We got really close and became best of friends. I also became friends with other idol singers such as TaeYeon seonbae-nim of SNSD and KyuHyun seonbaenim's fellow groupmate, EunHyuk seonbae-nim through KyuHyun and BoA seonbae-nim during times when they tagged along for meals. I am thankful to have met them as they helped me to overcome the stress and difficult period of my trainee life. KyuHyun seonbae-nim treats me really nicely and he also taught me some of his plans to prank. >.< Sometimes, we would prank the Super Junior members together so we are called the "partners-in-crime" by our members. BoA seonbae-nim is just like my sister who takes good care of me and I like to talk to her about my problems.

 

Thanks, how would you describe your style or sense of fashion? 

I do not really like to wear dress and skirt unless I really have to for some important event. I like to wear comfortable shorts and shirts like hoodies, over-sized tee and denim shorts when I am at home or at training. Sometime when I go out, I like to wear Jeans or denim shorts with button-down shirt or hoodies which is my favourite!

Do you have any hobbies or interests? 

Since young, I have been traveling a lot. I like to go to the airport when I have free time as I can find many different kinds of people there; people of different nationalities, races and ages. One of the things I like to do is to observe people. I find it interesting when observing people. From their appearance, to their actions, I was amused by all different kinds of people I can find there. Sometimes, I will also try to guess what those people are thinking. I also thinks that airport is a good place to capture nice photographs. People's tears of sadness due to separation and tears of joy due to reunions are worth for good photos.

I love singing, singing is my dream, my passion. I would probably give up practically everything than to give up singing since I have this chance to debut. I also love taking photos and I have a polaroid camera which I love taking photographs with it. I can play the guitar and also sports. I am considered athletic except when it comes to playing soccer which I totally fail at. I like to write songs too as I can express myself freely in there and most of the songs I wrote are ballad as I really like ballad songs. I feel that more feelings must be put into it to sing it so as to express the whole meaning of the song fully. I usually write about my own experiences and feelings about my surroundings.

 

Can you describe your personality for me? 

I am a bubbly and hyper girl. My friends from high school say that I am always friendly and helpful, I have the aura which makes people around me to always feel happy. I will always have a wide smile hanging on my face. I have to say that I am always hyper and I always lifts the mood of my surroundings, so, with my presence, there will never be a moment when the mood is damp. I am also the joker among my friends, as I love to joke around. I do not like awkward atmospheres so I would always try to think of many silly ideas to make people smile and laugh. I love to make people laugh as I myself will feel happy too when I sees people laugh at my silly antics. I think that everyone is beautiful when they smile. I will always takes the initiative to talk to others instead of waiting for the others to start a conversation with me. I like to be sociable and friendly, and I am someone who has a jovial character; who smiles always despite my problems; and I hope I am someone whom people like to hang out with.

Behind my smiling mask, I actually have little confidence of myself. I think that there are way a lot of people who is better than me in many ways and I think that I cannot do well in anything. Even when my brother praised me, I think that he was just comforting me and giving me encouragement. However, I was shocked when I got accepted as a trainee. People praised me for my great vocal skills and that I am a fast learner. I was praised on many things I did. I always had a secret dream of becoming a successful singer. Due to my low confidence of myself, I dare not go for any auditions to achieve my dream, fearing that I might screw up my performances.

Even though, on the surface, I seem to have many friends, I feel that not many seem to understand me well. They seem to have only befriended me because I am popular with people. Sometimes, when I am sad and when I have problems, no one will be there for me. I had always wanted a really nice best friend who will truly care for me and protect me; someone who will put me as their priority; and will always be there for me.   

I do not like arguments and will always avoid getting into one. I will always be the one to apologise even though it might not be my fault to avoid further arguments. I sometimes take the blame for others, so people will mistake me as the culprit when actually it was someone else. For example, when ChanYeol went for SM audition in 2008, he did not tell my father until he found out himself. When I knew about this matter, I was afraid that my brother would get punished severely, so I told my father that I was the one who signed him up for the audition and dragged him to SM for it. I was then reprimanded harshly by my father for my immaturity and I was grounded for a week. I knew about my brother's dream of becoming a singer and I, myself also had a dream like him, I wanted him to achieve his dream that is why I took the blame for him. I rarely get angry but I will be rude if others treat me the same way. I feels that I do not deserve to be treated that way if I did not do anything that offended them. I will stand up for myself and do what is right. I do what is right rather than what is popular with the others.

With a straight-forward character, there are also people who do not like me. I feel that no one needs to hide what they really feel as I believe that everyone is unique and should be who they really are. However, I cannot deny that sometimes, some truth should really be left untold, in order to not hurt others' feelings.

Friends say that I am kind but I would rather say that I am forgiving. I will not take things to heart and I will forgive and forget people's mistake easily, even if I might not like their actions. I do not hate, I just dislike how people always treat me badly just because I am straight-forward. I will try my best to help when others need it. I also do not hesitate to give advice to others when they have a problem, so people likes to come to me when they need some good words of advice. You can say that I am a really reliable person when it comes to keeping secrets. Due to these, I have gained myself quite a number of friends. Sometimes I wonder why people in this world are being so judgemental. I feel that one should not judge a book by its cover. 

Sometimes I will unknowingly stare into space when I am bored. I bite my lips and frown when I encounter a problem and I will smile awkwardly when I do not know how to answer a question. I talk to myself when I am stressed up or when I have a problem and I cry only when I am alone because I do not like to cry in front of others. I know I am weird. >.<

 

Cool, how long were you a trainee for?

I was a trainee in S.M Entertainment for three and a half years before they decided to let me debut in FLAWLESS, a collaboration of S.M Entertainment and J.Y.P Entertainment.

 

Wow, how was trainee life like for you? Hard? Easy? Did you ever feel like quitting?

My trainee life was hard and I have ever thought of quitting because of the stress I felt. If it was not for KyuHyun and BoA seonbae-nim, I think you all would not be seeing me here today. I did have many friends during my trainee period, but I can say that I am, most of the time, alone. I willl always take the initiative to talk to others instead of waiting for the others started a conversation with me. However, due to my straight-forward attitude, other trainees think that I am rude so I do not have many trainee friends. Despite not having many trainee friends, I will try my best to help when others need it. I do not hesitate to give advice to others when they have a problem, so other trainees will sometimes come when they need some good words of advice. I will randomly say out my fellow trainees' mistake straight-forwardly during our vocal training when we are having a break. I would help to correct their mistakes. I became closer to quite a number of the trainees due to that, however, there are still some trainees who do not like to listen to my advice and they think that I am too proud of myself when I corrected their mistakes. I was really focused during my trainee period and was always working very hard to ensure my debut to make my parents proud of me since they were the ones who gave me the chance to go for the audition. I was a trainee under S.M Entertainment for about three years and a half years before the company decides to let me debut in this girl group. 

 

Hmm, did you do any pre-debut works? Modeling? Acting? Being in a music video?

I was F(x)'s back up dancer during the second year of my trainee life and also SNSD's sub-unit, TaeTiSeo's back up dancer for their "Twinkle" performances last year.

 

Good, your handling this pretty well. Any dislikes? Things you don't find interetsing?

I do not like the Hospital and I dislike getting into scandals and arguments. I do not like drinking and smoking and I also dislike talking about my problems in front of others.

 

 

What's your role in the group? 

I am the main vocalist and sub-rapper of the group.

(Back-up: All-rounder)

 

What is the reason that made you want to become an idol? Any special reason? 

I have always had a secret dream of becoming a singer and I guess it is not a secret anymore. Haha. I dislike going home to a lonely house. To fulfil my secret dream of becoming a singer, and probably a chance to get out of my lonely home, I tried my luck by auditioning. Thus, after I saw an SM audition poster posted at the bus-stop, I went for a walk-in audition. I was 14 when I auditioned. After a hard time of deciding whether to go for it or not, I finally made a decision to audition and promised myself to work hard and become a great singer. I chose Christina Aguilera's "Hurt" for the audition. I sang with all my heart and from what I heard from the judges themselves, they said that they could feel the sadness in the lyrics of the song in my voice as I sang as if I was the heartbroken one in the song. I touched the their heart with my great vocal skills and the feelings I had put into the song, thus it was then decided that I had passed the audition.

 

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

I am really good at lifting up the mood of people and I give good advices but I am afraid of darkness and I cannot cook well. >.<

 

Can you show us a bit of your singing?

Hmm, special skill?

I am the mood lifter of the group so I am the best at coming up with silly ideas to make the members laugh when they are sad. I can play the guitar quite well.
