[Illusion]
Hello everyone.
It got quiet all of a sudden.
Let me introduce myself.
I'm the host Park Sungkwang, comedian,
of the showcase..
for Yuri's first solo mini album "The First Scene".
Hello everyone, nice to meet you all.
Two three, happy smile!
Oh you know this.
How was the first stage of Yuri?
It was fantastic, isn't it?
Yuri worried a lot.
She had a press conference..
and she said she was so nervous that
she can't even find a right place on the stage.
But the performance was perfect, wasn't it?
I knew it.
She's a professional.
I watched her performing from the back.
I couldn't watch the stage from the front..
but I could still feel the amazing mood.
You know there's something we call mood.
It was amazing. It was also good to see you excited.
We'll meet Yuri right away..
Let's have a great time with Yuri.
And hope you have a wonderful time.
You know what I mean, right?
Okay, perfect.
I really hope for the success
of Yuri's first solo album.
Yuri has ranked first on the searching browser..
right after the news
for her comeback was released.
Expectations were high.
I'm also really looking forward to
seeing her performance.
Please look forward to her stage.
Now it's time to meet Yuri.
Are you ready, Yuri?
Here comes Yuri!
Please give her a round of applause.
Hi everyone.
Yes, here she is.
Hi.
- You were there.
- You thought that I would appear
from that direction, weren't you?
Yes, I did. So I was a bit frustrated.
I wonder where you were.
- I was frustrated.
- Were you? - I didn't know that you were in there.
Happy smile.
I'm also frustrated because
my legs don't reach the floor.
You should lower you legs a little.
Yuri, please say hello to your fans.
Thank you for coming everyone.
I'm Yuri, a newly debuted singer
with 11 years of experience.
Nice to meet you all.
Yuri and I debuted the same year.
- In 2007.
- Really?
- Oh, you didn't know that.
- No.
- I didn't know that.
- You did?
- I didn't know.
- Yeah, the same year.
In 2007, I..
I'm not sure you remember but..
- We met at "Star Golden Bell".
- Yes, I remember.
You remember, right? We were both newbies
so we chatted together in the back row.
- Whenever asked to show our talent, we did.
- Yes, and we did not get any questions.
I remember both of us were in the back row.
Haven't we grown a lot? I believe so.
- Yes.
- Sungkwang.
You became successful almost right after debut.
- But I've had some ups and downs.
- No, I don't think so.
Thank you for coming here and..
being the host of my showcase.
Many of you probably don't know..
but in fact, I'm from SM entertainment.
We're in the same company.
I'm very honored to belong
to the same agency with Yuri..
and also with Girls' Generation.
It's like a dream.
I couldn't even imagine.
That is why I sang "Illusion".
You are also acting these days, right?
I watched "Innocent Defendant" and..
I thought that you had already become
a perfect actress.
Really. I really mean it.
Thank you.
You were a good actress in that drama
and the drama was a big hit.
You watched that drama.
Oh you didn't know that
I'm a big fan of Girls' Generation.
You didn't show it and you were always so shy.
Thank you so much.
If I show it..
- You are so shy.
- You might not like it.
- I was trying to be careful.
- I really appreciated you.
Because you're so popular these days..
so I wondered whether you could make it here.
And I asked a favor of you to be the host.
- What are you talking about? I must.
- You said yes and..
Thank you really.
Thank you again.
Sorry. Wait a second.
My heart is beating so fast.
We were so talkative.
Let's start the showcase.
This is being live-streamed on V LIVE.
A lot of people are watching this on V LIVE.
Can you say something to them?
I guess a lot of people are watching V LIVE
from across the world.
as V LIVE is the most popular platform.
Thank you very much for being together with me
at this showcase for my first solo album.
The title track "Into You" will be sung
for the first time today.
I expect you to fall for my charm.
Oh my gosh. Look at this.
Wait a second.
Wow, there are already so many likes.
It's countless.
One two three four five six seven eight..
How many are they?
He's calculating in a strange way.
- Countless.
- Yes, so many.
Please leave some comments
if you have any question.
We'll see the comments..
and Yuri will answer your questions right away.
So please leave comments and questions.
You had a press conference today.
Yes, I did at 3 pm.
You're feeling really different, aren't you?
I'm so excited..
- to hear fans cheer.
- Yeah.
Totally different.
It just make my dance.
I'm also so excited so I need to calm down a little.
I'm so excited.
The mood is somewhat different, isn't it?
Because journalists..
they have to type..
to write articles. So it's hard for them to
react right away.
They have their works to do.
So it is difficult for you to read the mood.
I pre-released the tracks but..
- They were working so hard so..
- Yes.
- I was so nervous.
- I know what you're talking about.
- I'm very happy to perform..
- Yes.
in front of Sowon after a while.
- Thank you.
- We live on shout and applause of our fans.
We're feeling the energy.
- Can you feel it?
- Yes, definitely.
- Thank you.
- Let's have some talks..
over Yuri's first solo album "The First Scene".
How do you feel about comeback?
As you all know..
- My first solo album after 11 years..
- The first one.
has been finally released.
I'm so nervous right now.
And I really wish I could come back with..
next ones again and again.
I hope you and I will walk on that path together.
Please cheer me up.
She talks so nicely. Really.
He didn't see me before.
She has a reason to be successful.
It was my first time to talk to her..
for many hours.
Once I have conversation with her, I can feel that..
She's a really nice person.
A nice person. I felt it while talking to her.
I really mean it.
- I really mean it.
- Thank you.
- Taeyeon and Hyoyeon released their
solo album before you, right? - Right.
Didn't they give you some advice?
I told them I was feeling so nervous..
- on a group chat.
- Oh, you have a group chat.
Wow what kind of chat room is that.
Wow.
I told them, and I said that..
You guys are awesome.
Then Hyoyeon said "You should call me 'senior'".
- "Instead of 'you'" - Ha ha so funny.
"Call me senior. Senior Taeyeon, senior Hyoyeon".
Then I said "Look at this bossy girl".
"Bossy senior" I said.
We laughed a lot.
When it comes to advice..
they just cheer me up quietly..
because we see each other so often.
- They do not give something like advice to me.
- No practical advice.
- Right?
- Some comments like..
Seohyun said that the song is "her type of thing".
Whenever she see the photos..
she said that its her type of thing
and she was looking forward to everything.
She cheered me up a lot.
Tiffany is in the United States right now.
At 2:43 am..
You know that there's a time difference
between Korea and the United States.
She said that she had waited til that time..
to see the release of my album.
She monitored my album very thoroughly.
That's her character. She's so meticulous.
I was so busy and was freaked out..
but I appreciated her a lot.
Did she listen to every track and..
- see the reactions..
- Yes, and also a music video.
She did monitoring for me.
She's actually our manager.
We call her Ti-manager.
She monitored my album very thoroughly.
- How about other members?
- Other members?
In fact, I asked Sooyoung to be the host
of the press conference..
and the showcase..
but she's now at
the Busan International Film Festival.
So I said "I should never stand in your way".
So I came here instead of Sooyoung.
- No, no that's not I wanted to say.
- No.
- Sooyoung would have been better.
- No, that was not the point.
- No..
- It would have been better.
So I took Sooyoung's seat..
I'm in a lower level than her..
I'll see it in a favorable light.
You're way more timid than I expected.
- I'm kidding.
- Yes, I'm a goose.
So, the title of your album is "The First Scene".
- "The First Scene".
- That's right.
Tell us what kind of message you wanted to
deliver through this title.
First of all..
The album contains 6 tracks including "Into You".
It covers a variety of genres.
I want you to enjoy this album
without being boring.
This is why I put many songs and genres
in this album.
Since it's my first solo album, I at first..
tried to put 8 or 9 tracks in it.
I was kind of never satisfied.
But I finally narrowed down to choose 6 tracks.
I hope many people listen to my songs.
Above all, as a member of Girls' Generation..
I hardly had chance to sing for over 10 seconds.
Yes, I understand.
Your team has a lot of members.
I'm so glad I sing for over 3 minutes.
I guess you may have been
faced with some challenges.
That's true. As a team, members share chorus part..
and always make songs rather enriched.
But it was so hard for me to..
- do it all by myself.
- Yes, you don't have time take rest.
No. I've always believed that..
Other members like Taeyeon would help me.
It is kind of a challenge facing me.
- You're going to appear on music programs
like "Show! Music Core". - Right.
- Your comeback is scheduled on Saturday?
- Yes.
My first stage will be tomorrow at "Music Bank".
I'll start tomorrow.
So you'll see me on Saturday.
- On Saturday? In the evening?
- Yes, at "Show! Music Core".
- You mean you'll watch me on TV?
- NO, no, no.
I'm the MC..
Why are you laughing? It is true.
- Really? - I'm a special MC that day.
Really?
Wow I like it.
- Yes, I will. - Really?
I will introduce..
- That will be great. - will introduce..
- Thank you. - you.
What a coincidence.
There're some who do not believe my words.
They wonder why I will be at "Show! Music Core".
- "Show! Music Core".
- As a special MC.
I will be there as a special MC.
What a coincidence.
- A special MC on the day of your comeback.
- Right. Thank you.
You know that
the album has already been release.
Have you listened to all the tracks?
How was it?
Yes, me too. I loved it.
Wait a second.
Let's talk about the songs from the album.
- Let's start with the first track. - Okay.
Let's tell us about the songs in detail.
- Okay. - First track, please.
The first one.
- The one that I performed some minutes ago.
- Yes. "Illusion".
This is "Illusion".
- "Illusion".
- Yes, that's right.
Can you tell us about this song in detail?
The song contains a story about a woman..
who do not want to wake up from her dream..
even though she knows it's a dream as she do
not want to leave her loved one.
She broke up with her loved one.
- No, she didn't but.. - No.
- She just has a secret crush on him. - A crush.
- She just imagines.
- Ah, she imagines..
- She is in a happy dream
and doesn't want to wake up, right?
- Definitely.
Isn't it dreamlike?
Yes, it's a bit dreamlike.
That's why I performed with a chair..
acting like a coy girl.
Like this.
I performed like that.
Okay.
Then..
I wondered, after watching Yuri's performance,
whether I'm dreaming or not.
Were you guys excited too?
Okay, I was excited too.
Let's move on to the next track.
What's the title of this song?
Many people do not know
how to pronounce this..
Yes.
- It's Spanish. - Spanish.
- You can pronounce it "C'est la vie".
- C'est la vie.
- Yes, c'est la vie.
- What's the song about?
It means "that's life".
This is the life about.
- That's the life.
- Yes.
As you can assume, the lyrics..
say that there are ups and downs in life..
but that is the life and you should always
believe in yourself.
This song delivers a positive message.
A song full of energy.
I have a question.
There may be some times when
you are stressed out, right?
- Right? - Yes, of course.
What's your secret to getting rid of that stress?
I'm living with two dogs.
What kind of dogs they are?
One is Pomeranian..
That one went to the heaven
so there's one left..
and that one is Silver Poodle.
- Oh, Silver Poodle.
- Dooe! She's Silver Poodle.
I'm living with a dog too.
- Your is cute. - I understand you.
- Gwangbok!
- Yes, the name of my dog is Gwangbok.
- You enjoy spending time with your dog?
- Yes, I often walk my dog.
I tried to train my dog to do "happy smile".
- Did you succeed?
- Nope.
- Not at all.
- You should use snacks.
- Snacks? - Yes, snacks.
- If you want, I will..
- train my dog?
- Yes, I will.
- You don't have to.
- She can react to "bang" and "hand".
- Ah, it doesn't work.
Doesn't work.
That's my secret.
- You enjoy spending time with your dog.
- Yes, with my dog.
- Dogs equal love. They comfort us.
- Yes, I agree.
They express their emotions.
You have an Instagram account for Gwangbok,
aren't you?
- I created it lately.
- Oh, you did?
I don't have one for my dog but..
I heard people saying that the account is popular.
Sometimes I'm jealous of my dog.
I become jealous from time to time
when my dog is more popular than me.
Once you create an account, I believe
that will gain a huge popularity.
Did you guys all see her dog?
- Whether in photos or..
- Dooe!
- My doggie. - Is she cute?
How large is she?
She's very small. She's 3 and a half years old.
She's like.. like this large.
- Kind of.. a Toy Poodle?
- Yes, that's right.
She's actually not a Toy Poodle but..
I wanted my second dog
to be smaller than the first one..
Because the first one should not be bullied
by the second one.
- Sould not.. - That's right.
I worried that..
- It sounds a bit strange talking about
the second one, the third one.. - I agree.
Let's move on to the next one.
This one has a totally different mood.
Let's listen to it for seconds.
- This is a fresh mood.
- Yes.
- This shows new you.
- Right.
The title of this song is "Butterfly".
- Butterfly.
- Butterfly.
This song talks about emotions that
we have towards our loved ones.
This is a song with a positive mood.
It's bossa nova.
This mood was seen in
the first and second albums..
of Girls' Generation.
I see.
When I first listen to this song, I..
- felt itchy.
- Yes, that's right.
It's really like..
butterflies are flying around.
- Here and there.
- It's like..
- like spring has come.
- It's like Butterflies are everywhere.
- You're not allergic to butterflies, are you?
- What?
It's a relief.
I have no allergies.
I do not.
- It's a relief.
- Yes it is.
Let's move on to the next one.
It's the sound of piano.
- A sad mood, isn't it?
- That's right.
Lonely mood..
I think it has a lonely mood
when I first listen to this song.
I tried hard to put that feeling
into the song while recording it.
I really tried hard.
This song is in fact about the journey of life.
I had difficulty choosing..
between "Chapter 2" and "Journey".
Then I picked "Chapter 2" as a title of this song..
thinking that my life journey ahead is..
the "Chapter 2" for me.
- That's why I picked "Chapter 2".
- "Chapter 2".
- "Chapter 2".
- Second.. and new..
- It's a new start for me.
- A new journey.
- New start.
- It's a challenge for me.
I think you could pick this track..
- As title..
- You like it?
- Really?
- Yes, I love it. - You do?
Sorry, this is my personal opinion but..
This song is amazing, isn't it?
I really love this one.
I like you love this.
I'll replay this song forever.
I mean it.
"Ending Credit".
Can you tell us about this track?
Cue the music!
Let's listen to it for seconds.
- Can you explain?
- This is "Ending Credit".
And the subtitle is "To be continued".
The ending credit comes up
at the end of every movie, right?
I felt as if I was feeling that lingering feeling
we have after a movie is over..
when I first listen to this song..
- That's why I named this song..
- With the ending credit going up.. - Yes.
- That lingering feeling.
- Right, with some images or clips..
- next to that..
- Right.
- Those images popped up in my mind.
- Yes? - Yes.
Good. You know that my album is named
"The First Scene".
The mood is somewhat consistent.
I want listeners to feel like
they are watching one full movie.
This is my album..
- and listen to the tracks.. Oh, probably this is
the very first time you really see this album!
- That's right.
They haven't had chance to see this.
We'll come back with that one
so please just wait for some minutes.
We'll show you both the cover and the inside.
We've looked at 5 tracks.
Some of you have already listened to them..
Among 5 tracks, what's your favorite?
So difficult to choose one because..
I chose my favorite one as a title.
Right after I listened to that song,
I thought that would be my favorite.
And then when I listened to the second one,
I thought that would be my favorite.
"C'est La Vie", my favorite.
"Butterfly", also favorite..
So..
It's so difficult to pick one.
- I love ballad songs, but my favorite is "Illusion".
- "Illusion".
Why? What's the reason?
You especially liked that part?
- The overall..
- Oh I like this part!
No, no. I like the overall mood of this song.
I was just joking around.
The overall mood is like.. very cute.
I also like the performance.
The song first reminded me of a girl..
- dancing on a skateboard or..
- That's right.
on skates..
I decided to dance using a chair,
but I still love that song.
- "Illusion".
- Right. I heard that singers say they..
- Yes.
- draw pictures in their mind while singing songs..
You imagine yourself on a skateboard..
- On a skateboard, being free..
- Free.
Dreaming..
- Jumping on a skateboard then.
- Ha ha no. - that mood.
- Skateboard, that mood..
- No, I mean.. like this.
- Isn't that roller skates?
- That's it!
- Roller skates.
- Roller skates.
- Roller skates?
- Yes.
- Ah you meant this.
- No, I thought of this.
Isn't that Heelys?
This is Heelys, wheeled sneakers.
This is a skateboard. What are we talking about?
- Let's get back to the topic.
- Roller skates anyway..
- or in-line skates.
- Right.
- Young fans might..
- Yes, they might not understand
what we're talking about.
Roller skate is the thing of my generation. Sorry.
Okay.
"Into You", it's the title track of your album, right?
- Yes. - "Into You."
We need to talk deeply about this song.
The choreography..
- We need to look at choreography.
- Yes, right.
Let's listen to the song.
Okay.
Can you tell us about this song in detail?
It is a song with a very rhythmic sound.
It has oriental-style rhythm and addictive melodies.
The refrain is very attractive.
The song tells a simple story.
Which is, "I want to get into my loved one deeply".
- Oh that's what this song is about.
- Yes.
- That's why the song is called "Into You".
- Is there any specific reason why
this song was picked as the title?
Actually, "Into You" was chosen to be the title
unanimously.
Oh that's surprising.
- Have you ever listened to "Lil' Touch"
by Oh!GG? - Of course.
- A subgroup of Girls' Generation..
- That's right.
In fact, either "Into You" or "Lil' Touch" could be..
my solo title.
This is an interesting behind story.
"Lil' Touch" was thought to be a perfect match
for Oh!GG..
and that song seems better for a team..
That's how "Lil' Touch" went to Oh!GG..
and "Into You" came to me.
Then it was picked as the title.
So were you heartbroken when "Lil' Touch"
was decided to go to Oh!GG?
How did you feel?
I just thought that..
it would be difficult to perform on "Lil' Touch"
all by myself..
as "Lil' Touch" is a song with a quick rhythm.
- Oh, right.
- That's right.
- I came to think that there's the right person..
for each song.
I watched your teaser video..
and that was girl crush.
What did you focus on to express
that charm of girl crush.
- Eyes that make people get attracted to me?
- Oh, eyes.
How?
How? Show us!
Show us your eyes so that we will all
get attracted to you.
Okay. She took the bait!
- She took the bait.
- How can I do this.
You can.
How can I..
Oh, we're into you.
Great.
- Eyes..
- Right.
I prepared the eyes..
and.. that's all.
That's enough.
- And you prepared a dance..
- Yes.
She prepared an incredible dance.
Can you tell us about the point of your dance?
Compared to dances that I've practiced
as Girls' Generation..
this dance is more feminine.
Because I wanted to show upgraded version of
my dance.
I use my hip and..
wrist..
and move like this.
To express the mood of "Into You".
I practiced dancing in that way.
- Like.. a female cat?
- Wait.
She seems a bit embarrassed.
- Are you embarrassed?
- Yes.
- Embarrassed to dance without music.
- I understand.
- So this is the major part?
- Yes.
- Then, can you show this choreography with music?
- Sure.
- Play the music, please.
- Do we have music?
Okay, show us the major part with music.
Please show us how to.
- I'll try to learn.
- Okay.
- Turn this way.
- Okay. I'm not able to see you.
- You should turn your head towards me.
- Ah, Okay.
I'm kind of a lot of work.
Move your hip like this in the shape of 8.
- Is there any name for this dance?
- Not yet.
- Really? Okay.
- Do you have any idea?
No, I thought that there would be the name but not.
- Then please show us your dance with music.
- Okay, I'll do it.
- Cue the music!
You'll finish the track..
if we did not stop.
Aren't you curious about a music video?
We can't just skip music video.
How was it while filming the music video?
Did you watch the music video, right?
- Everyone.
- It has been just released, so there must be
some who have not watched yet.
I tried, but the Internet connection
is unstable here.
- That's right.
- It didn't work well in a waiting room.
I has been just released so..
I will watch it just after the showcase.
The video will be played here on the screen.
The lyrics show how a person wants to..
fall in love with someone.
The music video contains the same message.
In the video, Oasis represents that someone
whom a person wants to fall into love with.
It shows a journey to find the Oasis.
I danced on sand..
and also on the water.
Do you have any episode made
while filming a music video?
- Episodes?
- Create one if you don't have any.
Interesting episodes.
Dancing on sand was..
I think I get what you want to talk about.
- You know, right? - Yeah.
- Adults do not even play on sand.
Because they know that they'll end up
finding sand inside their mouth.
- We then make this sound.
- Yes, I found sand in my mouth.
It took so much energy to dance on the water.
Really hard.
At the end I took off my shoes and started to
dance barefoot.
That looks nice in the music video.
So you can find those scenes in the music video.
Were there a lot of NGs?
Yes. I even fell down.
It was so slippery so..
- Not injured?
- No, fortunately. - What a relief.
While I was dancing, I found moths and bees.
fallen in the water.
Yes.
I had to pretend I saw nothing.
Right.
I had to pretend I was drowning.
It was difficult to focus.
The episodes are...
The scenes in the video are really amazing.
Right.
Now that you've told the story
when we are watching your music video,
we'd try to find
"where is the bug?"
Don't try to find. Don't try.
If you say "Don't try," I want to try more.
Don't watch the video.
If you say "Don't watch," I want to watch more.
Tell me to watch.
You're being bad. Don't watch, then.
Okay.
You've been working in various scopes like
acting in dramas or hosting a show.
By releasing the new solo album,
what do you want to show?
Through the album.
In fact, you've been waiting for a long time.
I hope you find out charms of voice and other
attractions as well. -Right.
If you give me big support and love,
you'll meet the next album.
That's right.
I understand what you mean.
So please tap a lot of hearts in V Live.
As for this album, I put much love...
The staff said viewers got so excited in V Live.
Really? -Yes.
Sorry for taking a moment to talk about V Live.
Yuri, count how many hearts you got.
1, 10...Sorry.
I'm not good at counting.
1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000...
17,816,000...
It keeps going up.
7,453.
Thank you.
There are 20,000 comments.
22,000 comments.
Then, how about making a pledge?
When the hearts...
How many were there?
1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000...
How many hearts do you want to make...
A pledge?
I don't know. But if I get many...
25 million? It's now 17 million.
Okay. What do you want me to do?
Others promise various things like acting cute.
or your own special talents.
Would you please say out loud
what you want to see?
Dance video?
They want me to disclose the dance video.
Disclosing the dance video.
But we can't do it here today.
Right. Not here.
Please give us something she can do here.
"Lil' Touch"?
Dance moves of "Lil' Touch".
Okay.
Get the music ready in advance please.
Then, the entire song of "Lil' Touch"...Entire?
No, no, no.
You say carelessly because you're not
the one who dances.
It's good for me. Good for us.
Then...
I'll dance to the "Lil' Touch" later.
Good.
Good.
Okay. Yuri has made a pledge.
It's time to check the album cover.
You all want to see it, right?
Let's talk about the album cover.
I took a short glimpse before.
Here it is.
It's just released.
I guess many have already seen this cover shot.
You have?
Inside is...
I've got one as a present.
I've checked the inside.
You gonna love this.
Yuri, can you please hold it?
Let's turn the page one by one.
This is my one of my album photo.
The logo seems...-YR
Doesn't the logo look familiar?
Right. The luxury brand.
The luxury brand.
My album is high-end, everyone.
Luxury item, right?
Yes it is.
If you buy one, you can have a luxury item.
The image is a little...a little different from your
usual....what should I say?
What do you think?
You know the famous top models on magazines.
Similar...-Similar feeling?
Yes, such feeling comes so strong.
You know, not cute but...
a little serious and tough.
I think it looks that way.
I personally like such images.
You do? The tough image?
Yes, when taking a shot.
You know what this is, right?
The members of Girls' Generation...
Solo albums of the members
have almost the same size with this.
So...-I have them in my house.
Really?
Whose album do you have?
I mean...What was that?
Many years ago, you personally did...
Sorry, I forgot.
What are you doing?
What's the title?
Wearing the hat? "Genie"
Yes. "Genie"
It was really long time ago.
"Genie"
Do you have the album?
All members wrote in person on the album.
Right.
This is our 1 st meeting after that. -Right.
It's been a long time
Right. It's been a long time since I met you before.
I still have the album.
Right, right.
I put it at conspicuous place at my house.
Good.
Replace it with this new album. Update.
I got it. Update.
I'll hold here.
As the album is entitled "The First Scene,"
It's numbered as Scene No.
Scene No.
I numbered the song by Scene No.1.
No.2, No.3.
The letter N also has the feeling
of the luxury brand.
Stop it.
Okay.
Was it too much?
I hope you can feel as if you had
a luxury brand item.
There are 6 songs on the album.
6 songs.
She explained earlier. "Into You" and "Illusion".
Next page.
I love this.
This is a photo card.
Photo card.
I want to have your autograph right here.
Show them the behind. Turn it around.
Yes, here it is.
There are 3 different versions of photo card.
Oh, they are different. Some have...
Right, right.
Right.
It's random.
Who...whose is this? This person will get this
card where I'm wearing yellow tassel earrings.
Congratulations.
Yes, big congratulations.
And
Really beautiful.
Totally different style.
Yuri...Yuri...
Yes, it's me.
Yuri...
It's a black-and-white photo.
Beautiful.
You're tuning the page too quickly. Are you
being shy?
Why! Let us see the photos.
Don't turn the page too quickly.
I hope they buy the album and check the rest.
I love this photo so much.
There's another one here.
A side of Yuri that I am familiar.
Really adorable.
Cute.
Good, good...
I'm sorry.
I love this photo.
Pretty?
Isn't this one great?
Personally this one is my best.
Really?
Yes. My favorite photo. Thank you.
It's me wearing a leopard-patterned shirt.
The leopard pattern will be trendy this winter.
Really?
Yes.
Thank you for the tip.
It's completely...
Each photo delivers definitely different vibes.
This one...
These earrings have very unique design.
Fans teased me calling them a dust brush.
I know what they mean.
You got it? -Yes.
Five colored brush.
Right.
It's not a brush.
There should be a handle over here, right?
As you said that, I can't stop thinking of the brush.
Because you said that, I can't think about
anything else but the brush.
Leopard pattern looks very good on you.
You've lost a lot of weight.
In a drama I'm shooting these days, I have
short hair.
The title is "Dae Jang Geum is Watching" and
my role is Peach.
Today I got my hair a little longer.
You got extension for today.
My real hair is short.
You show totally different images just with
different length of hair.
Look these eyes. It feels like I'm getting into them.
I can't stop thinking of it.
It's just me, I guess.
So, when you say something.
I shouldn't have said that.
Did you take this by yourself? -Sunset, sunset.
No.
No?
You're the first one who asks that.
I was just wondering.
Sunset, sunset, water.
Sunset.
Look at the colors.
Colors are so beautiful, right?
Really beautiful.
Great.
Good. Nice comment.
This is me wearing greenish clothes.
In this album, the point clothes have
sort of very fancy patterns,
and earrings are so colorful
to give Latin mood.
This.
It gives sporty vibes?
Right.
Do you like this?
Thank you.
Beautiful, beautiful.
It feels bright and cheerful.
These photos feel like the first love.
The first love of high school years.
I have such colorful charms.
Sorry, but that's my line.
I was supposed to say that.
I should've waited for a second.
You should've.
Look at these sunglasses.
I wore sunglasses.
My stylist told me these sunglasses are very hot
item in this season. -Are they?
The lenses look like a cat.
So you had to return them after the shooting.
Right, I returned them.
They are not a gift.
Where did you take this shot?
It looks like it's outside.
This is
a studio.
A studio?
1st basement level.
Basement?
I thought it's outside.
It looks like you're in the open air.
I wanted to take a shot like I was under the sun.
So, I got these.
Wow, are these
real water drops?
This is CG.
CG.
I keep making wrong guesses.
CG.
It's computer job.
It feels like you're under the water.
When taking a shot, I pretended like
"I'm under the water."
"I'm under the sun."
You're under the water now, under the water.
Yuri is under the water, under the water.
Right, making a turn, getting into it.
Coming out of water now, coming out of water.
Coming out, now! Cut!
Great job. Well done.
Thank you.
Then, you can go home.
These are taken during the music video shooting.
Oh, are they?
You see these bell bottoms.
Bell bottoms.
Bell bottoms will be back in style this winter.
Really?
Again?
Are you forecasting the trend?
Or are you trying to make it hot by saying it?
Both? -Okay, both.
Wow! I didn't see these before.
I've changed my best choice.
This is my best.
Really?
Yes.
Why?
These shots have definitely have Asian feeling.
How can I say?
They look like modernized Hanbok or...
Hanbok?
Really. It has a feeling of beautiful Hanbok.
Really?
It does have Oriental vibes.
Right.
Oriental vibes.
I called it a parrot jacket.
This is...
This is a dress.
It's also one of my music video clothes.
I took this shot on the water.
Is this CG, too?
No, no. -This is real water.
Real water?
Can you show us
this pose?
How did I do that?
I did like this.
It's like I'm dreaming, now. Really.
You personally have photos
that you love the most. Your favorite photos.
What are they?
It's hard to choose.
But I like
this main cut, the black-and-white shot.
The main cut.
Or this one.
That cut.
Oh! Girls' Generation members
love this one.
Did they say why? Unexpected side of you?
I don't know.
I guess so.
They saw it in this cut.
They said this looks mysterious.
They said this cut looked like a magazine photo.
Right, right.
Hyoyeon loved this one.
Sooyeong gave me various ideas
for the album name.
So.
What ideas?
Like the song title.
In fact...can I say this?
I want to save it for the next time, though.
One of her ideas for the album name was
"Illusional Dream". -"Illusional Dream".
Illusional Dream.
It means you're gradually falling into something
fascinating.
That's why it's called "Illusional Dream".
Oh, it is.
But I felt it was a little difficult.
So it wasn't chosen for this album.
Anyways, members gave me many good ideas.
This album should be successful to meet
the next album "Illusional Dream". -You're right.
Everyone,
I think you surely can meet the "Illusional Dream".
Which photo do you like the most?
If you pick only one?
It's a pointless question.
They surely love all the photos.
Of course.
For me, I like the last photo.
I like it the most. Of course, your fans love all.
Of course I do love all.
Your fans said they love all of them.
Right.
Yuri is
famous for having a perfect body line, right?
Which part did you care most for shooting
the album cover?
I excessively held in my stomach.
I did.
Right.
And...
I did workout very hard because I love workout.
I did workout very hard.
Do you still do yoga?
These days I feel so tired, so
I can't go to a fitness center often.
So I do stretching hard.
I also do the bow workout.
Bow?
Making a bow is a workout.
I do that or
or...
a lot of stretching
and I do running. -Running?
Yes, running. -Aerobic exercise?
I do aerobic exercise.
That's it?
You're just gifted with it.
Don't you think? -A little?
Good.
At this moment, the number of V Live view count
is amazing.
When we reach the goal, I'll let you know.
We're very close.
Among many comments you've been posting,
there are many questions for you.
I'll check them out.
Questions you posted...
They are going up too fast to read, aren't they?
That's not all. They're written in English.
I'm a little lost.
Many Chinese characters.
There are many fans from other countries.
"Hello"
There's Spanish.
"Good. Good."
There's Russian.
This...
Give me questions.
"I like you."
Give me the question in Korean.
Come on baby.
Then,
All comments are written in English and
they keep going up.
I can't read them 'cause they come up too fast.
There are questions we got before.
Prepared?
The staff received these questions earlier today.
They got these questions through V Live.
Oh, you asked this question.
"Who gave you the biggest cheers?"
It's a really tough question.
You have to pick only one.
This kind of question is interesting.
Really difficult.
Every member cheered me up.
If it's too tough, how about picking a friend
who didn't cheer you up?
Which one is tougher?
Difficult.
I'll just pick one who gave me the biggest cheers.
That's better, right?
It's Hyoyeon. Because at first,
I promised to sing a duet song with Hyoyeon
on this album.
It was a done deal.
But some issues arose in the process of
making the song.
So unfortunately, we couldn't sing the duet song.
While discussing the process with Hyoyeon,
she gave me a lot of cheers and encouragement.
Fans are asking to put the song in the next album.
"Describe your album with 5 letters."
5 letter talk.
Mine's awesome?
Mine's awesome.
Sounds so cute.
Mine's awesome.
Are you okay?
You can't do it, right? -You're making efforts
to catch up the trend, aren't you?
Or...
Mine's awesome. I'll try more.
It seems useful. Good.
"What was the most difficult thing
when you were preparing the album?"
Difficult thing?
What difficulties did I have?
I'm filming a drama entitled
"Dae Jang Geum Is Watching"
which will go on the air from October 11th.
Right.
That drama looked interesting.
It looked a little unique. -You're right.
I go around for gastoventure.
My role is Peach.
Peach.
It was difficult for me to play the role of Peach
and to film the music video at the same time.
Right. It's tough.
You feel confused between the two.
Right.
Both are valuable for you.
You can't miss any of them.
But when your health can't handle it...
Right.
I feel so frustrated.
Sometimes you feel exhausted even mentally.
But fortunately, the staff understand
my situation. -Right. That's good.
Really fortunately, they helped me stay focused.
It's because you've been good to other people.
Your good deeds come back to you.
Thank you so much.
Really. I mean it.
Thank you, director.
This is the last question.
The last question we received from you.
"What do you remember the most
after you made a debut?"
For 11 years of singer life.
How...
I can't miss out even one moment.
I mean it.
Because I've been loved by many people.
The time I thought I was very lucky
to be a singer was...
You know our fans record every single moment
of us.
So all moments as a member of Girls' Generation
are recorded. I am very grateful for that.
I feel like I am blessed.
That's why I can't pick one moment.
Every moment since I made my first debut.
Right after the debut, we shoot the program
"Girls' Generation Goes to School."
We took the ad wrapped bus from the beginning.
We wore the same hoodies.
We wore the uniform on the rehearsal stage.
Those moments live vividly in my memory.
For me personally.
I first saw you when you visited Gag Concert.
Right, right.
I remember that.
You girls visited each room and
said "Hello, we're Girls' Generation".
I remember that scene.
I thought "They're going to be a success."
Babies...not exact description. But you were
too fresh and young. -Right.
"Hello, we are Girls' Generation."
I remember that.
The memory suddenly came across my mind.
I get somewhat emotional...
Something emotional.
Today reminds me of that memory.
We've talked about Girls' Generation members.
Yes.
We've also talked about fans, of course.
There's a video we've prepared for you.
There are people supporting Yuri.
Let's meet them through the video.
Hello, this is Sooyoung.
Your cheers are not loud enough. Again!
Hello, this is Sooyoung.
Good.
We...
I'm nervous for her.
Yuri is finally releasing her solo album,
and doing the first showcase.
So I'm here to support her.
Can I have a moment for crying?
I've been with her
from our training periods
and Girls' Generation as well.
For almost...almost...
almost 17 years.
I've always thought she is very talented and
competent and
she is a genius who never stops practicing.
Here comes her solo album through which
she can fully prove her talents.
Please give big supports to Yuri, our team
member and my best friend.
As for the song,
she came over to my house and let me
hear the song.
The song lingered in my ear after she went back.
So I couldn't fall asleep.
Yuri's "Into You" which will be a big hit
in this autumn.
Please love the song.
And she'll appear on many music shows
and events.
I'll be looking forward to her on the stage and
sending her warm supports.
I love you, my friend.
Fighting!
"Into You"
Bye.
I love you, too.
Tada!
Hello, this is Seohyun, the youngest of
Girls' Generation
Yuri! Congratulations on your first solo album.
Wow, finally, your solo album is coming up.
I've been waiting for this for 11 years.
I'm really happy for you.
I can imagine how much efforts you've made
for this album.
I can't wait to listening to the song.
I'm looking forward to "Into You" very much.
I'm rooting for you.
I hope you don't get hurt,
and stay pretty, sexy, healthy.
Yuri, fighting!
Now, it's Girls' Generation.
Girls' Generation!
Bye.
Thank you.
Hello, this is Hyoyeon.
Yuri's first mini album "The First Scene".
Title song is "Into You".
I've heard the song. It's really...
How come she's so cute?
[Thumb Up]
It's good!
I thought the song is a perfect match with
Yuri's voice color.
I've not seen her dancing yet.
I can't wait to see it.
Yuri's first solo.
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
What can I say? Even I am nervous.
I hope you do great with this album.
I'll rooting for you.
Yuri, fighting!
"Into You," fighting!
Hello, this is Taeyeon.
Give big and warm supports to Yuri's new song
"Into You".
I heard the song a little bit.
I think the song resembles Yuri very much.
Her mysterious charms.
Mysterious song "Into You".
Please give big love to the song.
I think this song just fits Yuri.
So, I'm looking forward to the song.
It also makes her voice color more attractive.
While preparing the solo album,
she was very nervous and worried a lot.
As an adviser who has solo album experiences.
[Feeling Shy]
Because you're Girls' Generation.
As a member of Girls' Generation, be confident
in Yuri style.
I hope you show how great you are.
Yuri, fighting!
Fighting!
"Into You"
In to you.
[Brainwashing]
"Into You" in to you.
What a true friendship!
You didn't know?
I'm so touched.
I had no idea at all.
Right.
Thank you so much.
So so much.
Members might be watching you through V Live.
I guess they're watching you.
I'll keep in mind
that I'm Girls' Generation.
I'll do my best in Yuri's style.
Thank you, girls.
It's a big support, really.
They are my friends.
Friends.
Everyone, we've finally reached the goal.
We gotta see, right?
Show us.
It's just right time, isn't it?
Oh my gush.
Is there a song? Is song prepared?
No?
Then, play the song.
There's song prepared.
It's a refrain part.
I did right? It's a really nice timing
to make her dance, isn't it?
Very good.
Now, Yuri is going backstage to prepare
the next stage.
See you later.
While Yuri is preparing for the next stage,
I'll show you a video.
It's a...
It's a making film of her music video.
Please wait for just one minute.
Before watching the video. How do you like
today's showcase? Are you having fun?
Yuri is now preparing for her title song
for the last stage.
Please give her big supports.
Encourage her. Pray for her.
Enjoy the making film, too.
Let me present you the making film now.
Play the video please.
Finally my first mini album will be released soon.
The title is "Into You".
It means I'm getting into you.
Let me start the second group dance.
I've missed all the members so much.
I've been chatting with them through
the messenger.
They are very curious.
After finding an oasis in the desert and
getting into the oasis.
I'm not sure I'm doing fine with the acting.
It was my first time to dance in the water.
It was very interesting experience.
Yri's first mini album.
Please give your big love to the title song
"Into You".
Bbyong.
[Into You]
Everyone, scream!
Yuri, you presented your first performance with
this song on the stage. How was it?
Thank you for your enthusiastic responses.
Right.
The song's very good.
I mean it.
I'm really having fun.
The song is catchy.
I'm happy.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm excited.
As she mentioned before,
she said she would do her best befitting
Girls' Generation's reputation.
Please give her big and warm supports.
She might feel a little lonely.
After being together with other members.
Right. -Give her big supports.
It's already time to say good bye.
I guess you may think about
Yuri's song "Ending Credit".
Please give big love and supports to Yuri's first
solo album and the title song "Into You."
It's time to wrap up.
We'll show fans the music video of "Into You".
We'll say good bye now.
Please, the last words to your fans who's been
staying with us.
Thank you so much for joining my first showcase.
It's very meaningful day.
I'll meet you again through many events and
stages. Please give me big love and supports.
"Into You"
More attractively.
"Into You"
Okay. Everyone,
please give Yuri big love and supports.
Let's watch the music video together.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
