Hello Hayeon, thanks for holding this QnA session in addition to the live performance and meet-and-greet you have planned for us. I'm glad I found your music and I am looking forward to keeping up with what you have in store for us. I'll list a few questions that come to my mind, and edit the post if I have any more. Feel free to not answer the ones you don't wish to of course, I hope they're not too intrusive or rude.
- How do you and your company use A.I. in your music, and does it impact your music a lot?
- To clarify, is the beat purely made from A.I.? Is the beat inspired by A.I.? What about the lyrics?
- What are some challenges you faced and overcame prior to debuting?
- What are some challenges you are working on overcoming currently?
- Is there a concept you would like to try next?
- Who are some people or artists that you look up to?
- Who inspired you to be who you are today as a person or as an artist?
- If you could collab with any artist, who would it be and why?
- Bonus points if you give one Western and one Korean artist
- Is there a particular reason you signed with A.I.M Enterarts?
- Did you audition for SM?
- Did Taeyeon help you in debuting and becoming an artist? If so, how?
- Did she give you any tips on becoming an artist? Whether it's pointers for shooting the music videos, singing, dealing with people, how to involve yourself in the industry?
- Have you and Taeyeon considered collabing one day?
- Has Taeyeon helped you with your music, or does she actively do so?
- Assuming you answered yes...
- Do you perhaps bounce lyrics or concepts to Taeyeon?
- Do you write lyrics together, or does she give her input on it when asked?
- Assuming you answered yes...
- Do you play any games?
- What are some of your hobbies outside of making music?
- What kind of music do you listen to?
- Either a list of songs you've recently played and enjoyed, maybe the genre of music, or artists you enjoy listening to
- Do you feel any pressure as both a person and artist being Taeyeon's sister?
- First and foremost, I apologize because I am guilty of what I am about to say. I imagine lots of people bring up Taeyeon when they hear Hayeon. For example, they may say "Taeyeon's sister" instead of "Hayeon". Does that make you feel a certain way? I know you are your own person, feel free to express any feelings you have regarding the topic or a message to fans.
- Undoubtedly Taeyeon is a phenomenal artist. Do you hold yourself to such a high standard? Or rather, do you often compare yourself or your music to your sister? Of course, you are your own individual, you are Hayeon. However, do you often try to think in Taeyeon's shoes, or perhaps question what will the public think about you vs Taeyeon?
- Can you spoil your next song or its concept?
- Who is the dog in Walk Away?!
- Have you started thinking about a fandom name?
Well, that's anything that came to my head. I apologize for any invasive, rude, or inappropriate questions. I tried to be as thoughtful and respectful as I could in both creating and asking the questions.
Thank you.
