“I signed up for dance classes because I’m trying to understand movement since there are no clubs anymore, and I miss that kind of freeform dancing. I’ve never really danced before though, and it’s contemporary dance that I’ll be doing, so it’s very scary.”
“The shoes I'm wearing are original vintage Air Jordan 1s from 1985. I love to collect shoes, and this particular pair is like the holy grail in my collection. It’s my most treasured piece because I’m a huge Michael Jordan fan.”

“I love cooking, but in Singapore I stay alone, and I enjoy cooking more when I’m with my friends and family, where I can share. Korean food takes so long to make because there are so many side dishes—that’s why you need someone to share it with.”

“I’ve always loved to draw but I stopped for awhile when I graduated since I was busy looking for a job. Recently, I picked it up again. I’m hoping to venture into tattoo illustrations. Though I don’t have any tattoos of my own as of now, I would like to give myself one in the future.”
“I started acting when a best friend of mine at the time almost literally twisted my arm into auditioning for the school drama club. I was 12. I’ve been acting ever since, and have been doing it professionally for 17 years now.”
