krystal's diary
2001/6/24
Title: Pottery
Me, Mom, Dad and my older sister (Jessica) had a chance to make pottery. I was so excited. When we made the pots, it was really squishy.
Pottery!
2001/7/1
Title: Library
Today I played with my friend from class 1-3 Mansun. We went to look at books in the library but it was closed. But the 5th, 4th, and 3rd floors had the older students who were studying quietly. We went in being really quiet too. The 2nd floor is really cool. The painting is really cool. The painter is the painting's owner.
• COOL QUEEN BEHAVIOUR •
"Guys dont like me. Guys like girl that are kind, innocent. I used to be innocent. Now i'm not, plus it's not something that i want" (marie claire 2012)
"I don’t try to look pretty or cute. I don’t really like purposefully creating a certain image. It’s more comfortable for me to express my emotions straightforwardly without any filters" (1st look)
"I want to be someone that's 'me'. If I copy someone because they're cool, then I'll lose what's mine" (bausch + lomb)
Q : What kind of person is considered cool?
K : Just someone who doesn't fake anything. (bausch+lomb)
"Do you think about what type of person you want to become?
Just myself. Truthfully I’ve never thought about wanting to become like someone else. I can like someone, but I don’t think of that person as my role model or style icon. I should take the good qualities each person possesses and combine them and add in my individuality to create a style. Being most like myself is what I like best. Because I have to be myself in order to make something that is completely mine. Though, of course, it won’t be easy" (the celebrity 2014)
"I like the facts that i have a lot of female fans. I think it's harder for girls to like, support and backed another girl" (GQ 2016)
"I dont have a very feminine, cute face. I think i have a more androgynous face. I'm sure there are men who dont like that about me. But that’s just their personal taste, it’s not anything I need to work on trying to fix. I’ve never worried about that part of my image.” (GQ 2016)
“I like being called ‘cool’ more than being called ‘pretty'. It’s harder for a girl to hear that. I like it when other girls call me cool.”
What do you think a cool girl looks like?
K: Be loyal and righteous. A girl who will not mistake herself for being a cool girl. (Yoho!girl 2018)
"Krystal tries very hard to maintain herself, and to keep her own pace, she has broken the formula of “how girl groups should be like” by becoming a person 'like herself' " - elle taiwan
" -the male juniors who were passing by told us that we were really cool. It's such a huge compliment. They didnt say we were pretty or cute, we were so proud" (cosmopolitan 2020)
"I don't settle down easily. It's not depression or being hypocritical. It's just that with every good feedback or compliment I tell myself, 'Well, maybe I was good'. I like to achieve results." The next step is to give shape to a quivering desire: "I want to live freely". (L'officiel italia 2018)
"The public sees me as an independent young woman. I do not know where they deduce it from, because I do not want to look like this. I do everything myself, but I also have a sweeter side. Everyone has a personality of two faces, don't they?" (l'officiel italia 2018)
MOM'S INFLUENCE
"My mother used to show us classic movies" (dazed 2015)
Q : You have a very independent image
K : I like hearing that, I got it from my mother (GQ 2016)
"My mother is that kind of person - independent, strong willed and responsible" (bausch+lomb)
"As for my mom, she's like a girl and a friend of mine" (GQ 2017)
“Mum is probably one level above us? There were also times where while the three of us were speaking, we said ‘mum is really amazing’. As our mother knows that we are, at our foundation, good and kind, she was able to teach us that women need to be chic at times. If I have a daughter, that’s how I will teach her too.” Jessica and Krystal were unable to think of a secret that the two of them share without their mother knowing. Krystal explained the reason for that. “We share everything with our mother.” (w korea 2018)
"If I have a lot of concerns, i mostly talk about it to my sister and mom. All of it, from one to ten" (cosmopolitan 2020)
"Whether it’s my personality or the way that I talk, I take after my mom in many ways. We both like being alone. I like that I have an image of independence. It’s not like I tried to make one, it’s just that’s how I am.” (GQ)
