💬: if all those thoughts build up and become a person’s energy, then what direction is giselle heading in now?
🌙: when i was preparing to debut, and even in the early days after debuting, i tried hard to seem like someone who was ‘put together’ in one way or another. but that’s not really the kind of person i am. i think i changed myself a lot and, to some extent, made myself into someone different. now, though, i’m in the process of returning to who i originally was. It’s like the version of me that changed for a while is being peeled away layer by layer, and I’m finding my way back to myself. i still can’t say, ‘this is 100% the real me,’ but of course, living as someone who isn’t really you feels suffocating, doesn’t it?
💬: these days, when do you think your “giselle-ness” comes out the most?
🌙: honestly, when i'm being truthful. when i speak and act honestly. isn't that what being "giselle-like" is all about?
👤: then would you say this interview is one of those moments where your “giselle-ness” is showing?
🌙: it is. i hate lying. no matter what people say about me, if it stems from something that was actually my fault, then of course i should take responsibility for it. but if it doesn't, i try not to let it bother me.

💬: it's your second full-length album, it must be an important moment for both the group and for you personally in many ways.
🌙: that's right. while preparing for this album, ningning and i happened to watch aespa's music videos from the very beginning all the way through. since i was just casually watching them at home, the person on the screen almost felt like someone else. It was so fun, it felt like i was watching another group's music videos rather than our own. at that moment, i think i finally understood what so many people love about aespa. i was able to feel once again the unique power of aespa's world-building and storytelling. that's why, regardless of how successful this album ends up being, i prepared it with the hope that everyone who listens to it will gain strength from it, feel motivated, and create lots of fun moments and memories. so that someday in the future, when they happen to hear one of our songs, they can be reminded of the time they spent around this time in 2026.
