“I agree that my career history being a tad different from that of others my age influenced me quite a bit in regards to maturing faster. However, what is certain is that I am still young now and am in wonderment at how every year is different. Maturity is not something that has a point of completion or an end. Learning a lot, I think of that as maturity. So in the future I want to continue developing. I feel like the moment you stop learning you’re giving up on yourself. I think that even after I become much older this type of thought won’t change.”

“Whenever I’m feeling tired or getting stressed, I like to cram myself into my room and just draw. That eventually helps release all the stress away.”

“SNSD’s Yuri has always had a bright, optimistic image, but the person Kwon Yuri actually likes spending time alone, and is an ordinary person who has worries and works hard. During my long trainee period, I felt this wasn’t the right path for me, and that the day would repeat tomorrow. But if the next day works out, I would think of it as my responsibility and start running towards my dream again.”

“Between people who truly care and love each other, there are times where you don’t need to say anything at all. Those emotions that are hard to express with words. Things like “I love you” and “Thank you”…you don’t really need to say those words.” - Kim Taeyeon

“To be honest, there aren’t many people I’m close with in the entertainment world. People say my first impression appears to be cold. Others can mistake me for looking mad if I have no expression on. Because I’m extremely shy, I have to have met you a lot of times to be close enough to barely show you aegyo.”

“I wanted to become a singer since the fourth grade. I remember how I’d tell all my friends that I would be a celebrity when I grow up.”
