"SNSD's Bermuda line"
SY: But I wasn't part of any of those
- I don't know if I shouldn't give too much thought about positions like being a center or whatnot
Eunhyuk: It's not like these things are that important
SY: I thought I just have to work hard in the end
- But now that I've started promoting and the more I did it the more I started to think "Ha.. This is.."
EH: It's as if once it's decided, they'll keep pushing you towards that direction
SY: They keep pushing them towards that direction..
- Meanwhile, I don't have any of those opportunities
EH: I know right!
- No matter what song they give you
- Someone else will be standing in the center
SY: Right?
EH: It's like "me too I think I've earned my experience now" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
SY: If you look at the case of "Genie" I felt like I could've done it (be in the center)
- But because it's been so long since these (positions) were decided (I can't)
- It's not like nobody knows how it works!
- Who doesn't know that YoonA is the pretty one!!!
- We all know~!! We know she's the pretty one!!!
EH: You all know BUT...
SY: I feel like they can still rotate it a bit
- We all know she's the pretty one
EH: You're also allowed to get some opportunities
SY: It's like "Can't you even give me 3 seconds more to shine?"
- I had thoughts like that in the past but!
- When I look at it now, I think
- "As expected... As expected... Their reputation wasn't in vain (t/n: 명불허전 is a Korean saying meaning you deserve your "name/reputation")
*The executives' eye was correct
Donghae: Have you ever talked about it?
- Tell them "you can't always do it like that"
SY: Whenever we receive our songs, why are the parts like that?
DH: :That's right you should mention the parts!
- I'm curious about how you divide the parts
SY: They've obviously already decided on the parts
- Do you guys remember? When I used to be a trainee, Bada unnie told me to sing a high note
- And all the trainer unnies got impressed by me
EH: Ah so your high notes were better than they expected?
SY: That's why they thought "Soohyoungie is good with high notes!"
- That's when they started giving me vocal training
- But then they suddenly brought in a singing expert from Jeonjuㅋㅋ
EH: So Taeyeon got in the company
*The scary singing prodigy from Jeonju = Taeyeon*
SY: So now I'm once again trying to find what can I do to make a living again
- Then I started working harder in dancing
- Because now, another trainee will be fixed as a vocal once we debut
- So I started cultivating my dancing skills
- But Hyoyeon was already the god of dance at that time and Taeyeon was the god of singing
EH: Yah so where could you go?
SY: I had to find what I can do for a living
- I think it was around the 7th year, when we released the new album with "You Think"
- When I received that song, before the parts were given to us, I asked
- "Please give me an opportunity to sing the song from beginning to end
EH: Yah this isn't easy
- You can't just casually do things like that
DH: There's also this thing where you ask yourself "Yah why do I need to go this far?"
EH: In SUJU's case, they'll say "Yah aren't you insane?"
SY: Right? It's not something easy to do even in you guys' point of view
- The A&R team at that time asked "Why is it necessary...?"
- I was so embarrassed
- But from my perspective, I've been promoting for 7 years now, but it still felt like I was passing a test like a trainee
- I was a bit shy about it, but I thought to myself "Let's not give up this time, let's try to sing it once"
DH: Wow~ You're courageous
SY: So I sang the song from beginning to end
- And to me, I felt like I did a decent job
- And when I received the parts...
- They gave me the rap parts!!
(Ah...ㅜ)
EH: In the end, they have already decided what to do
SY: But from what I see, they have planned this from the beginning
EH: But still, what you did was amazing
SY: At least I tried!

1. That's right, the fact that she challenged herself proves that she's a cool person
2. I didn't know Sooyoung was this cool
3. Wow she's so cool, she's been promoting for 7 years and she still has this kind of attitude. Even the way she conducts herself on broadcast is cool
4. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Let's be patient... Sooyoung fighting!!!!
5. The more I look at Sooyoung, the more impressed I am, she's a cool person
6. If you watched the video, the way she talks is so witty and she was light hearted about it ㅋㅋㅋ She's funny
7. How can you put YoonA, Taeyeon and Hyoyeon in one group...
8. She's actually cool
9. I think she's amazing just for asking to be re-evaluated like a trainee although she has 7 years of expreience
10. Her mindset is so good
