Blurbs from U-ie’s recent interview with ‘Ceci’ Magazine:
‘Flashback’
“We will give a unique strong performance, After School will have a greater emphasis on being mature and sexy….this time, the new album is more close to the ‘sexy sister’ style. Our members in addition to new entrants to the youngest, and even Lizzy have grown up, so we wanted to show a full sexy feminine side to everyone“
Missing After School members during solo activities
“While filming ‘Ojakgyo Brotheers’ I really missed everyone…Often members would send greetings, and made me feel very warm. I won’t ask ‘have you seen my television series’, but members will say ‘you kissed my brother today’…” [Joke oh Joo won 
]
After School’s differing concept in Japan
“The concept of the After School is a combination of a “3S”, Show, Style and Sexy, I really like the concept.”
Japanese Concert in three cities
“During rehearsal time we were worried because most of the songs we want to sing in Japanese, we were very worried that we cannot properly express the emotion of the song. Until the concert begins, we hear the cheers of fans, see the full light stick lights, it was very exciting. That the moment is still vivid in my mind.“
After School members Became Closer in Japanese Dorm (some members live separately in Korea)
“Well yes! We relied more on each other. More attention to the status of partners…Being in Japan was very fresh, as if re-debuting. Activities slowly expanded, more and more people know our group it was very magical. While we rarely go out, we were the Shibuya 109 shopping mall spokespersons, and members go there for shopping.”
Winning an Arts Award
“I’ve never really walked across the red carpet, so I was feeling both nervous and excited. Between the nominated actors and me, I never thought I could win the award… Winning both male and female newcomer award is rare, being able to win an award with JooWon it felt more meaningful.“
Accomplish by 30?
“I hope that by then, I can be recognized, and can be heard “deserve to be U-IE” such an assessment…Whether it is movies, television dramas, MC or singing, as long as I feel good, I am satisfied. But I hope to achieve my ultimate goal after 10 years (laughs).“
Besides work what to accomplish
“I would like to travel alone, no matter where! I was one of the more timid people… even domestic travel in South Korea, or go out for a walk on my own, roadside pick up some delicious food, leaving some 20 years of good memories! Also want to get a driver’s license to drive to go for a ride!”
Personal message to Jung Hyeon
“Jung Hyeon, sister, I hope you will grow up healthy and beautiful! I used to be a student athlete, and like you, I finished school leaving almost no friends and memories. So I hope you can and do more things with friends, to create wonderful memories. To make good work, of course, so when you’re grown up you will not regret it.“
Jung Hyeon’s Introduction
“Hi, I’m Jung Hyeon, 13 years old this year. I am trying to become a good artist.”
Thoughts on U-ie’s Photo Session for ‘Ceci’
“…I thought it was beautiful, but watching the filming at the scene today is the first time, the feeling very strange. Flash once per Flash, facial expressions and gestures are completely different, I think U-IE sister is a big deal“
Following in U-ie’s footsteps: Singers, Actress, Model, etc Which ones?
“Too much. If I select a few, I wanted to be a campaign’s Ambassador, also want to be a music MC. As an Ambassador, I would like to let everyone know about some things, and help people who have difficulty, do good things”
Feelings after filming with U-ie
“Very interesting…Although worried everyone at large compared my sister and I…but I was hoping to show the most natural and the most beautiful side to readers. I also hope that one day I can became charming and wear clothes wear like a U-IE sister model“
Message to U-ie
“Today, I will closely follow the footsteps of my predecessors to the older generation in line.“
