concept!

want to try something calm next time. Sugyeong can take out the chic and bright

Q. So Favorite have been on many
survival programs such as K-Pop Star, Produce 101 and MIXNINE, What are your
thoughts and feelings being part of those shows?
Seoyeon: I was
on Mixnine, and it was tiring to stay awake all night to practice. It was hard
at first but as time went by, I got used to it and saw myself improving.
Gaeul: I was on
Produce 101 before my debut, and it was tough because I didn’t know anything.
But I got to make lots of friends and learned a lot so it’s my most memorable
program.
Junghee: It was
hard to practice with people I just met, but I got better and I became thankful
for my members.
Ahra: Through
Kpopstar, I learned a lot for my vocal skills from the three judges. In
Mixnine, it was hard because we had to make things to perform, but still that
surely helped me improve. Both shows were all important.
Q. What song you listen
the most these days?
Saebom: I
listen to (G) Idle’s Latata. It’s very catchy!
Seoyeon: I
listen to our song ‘Liar.’ It’s very like my style, and I keep wanting to
listen to it.

to Dream Catcher’s ‘You and I.’
Sugyeong: I
listen to Gary Moore - ‘Walking By Myself.’ I like the blues genre.
Junghee: It’s
Stray kids’ - 4419.
Ahra: Chawoo’s
‘I Miss You.’ I want to keep the song to myself, but it’s so calm and relaxing
that I’ll recommend it for you!
Q. If you have a chance
to go overseas, which country your want to visit the most? and why?
Saebom:
Brazil and Turkey! Whenever we do V lives, we have comments from Brazil and
Turkey. I want to go meet my fans there!

if I get time, I want to go have some healing time in Cebu.
Gaeul: I
want to go to Portugal.
Sugyeong: I
want to go to Japan. I love ramen, so I want to have ramen there!
Jeonghee:
Japan! Kpop is very popular there, so I want to open a concert in Japan.

visit Indonesia. Whenever we do V app, we have lots of foreign fans but we have
many Indonesian fans. We promised them we would visit so I want to keep my
promise.

Q. To all members, If you weren't an
idol, what do you think you'd be doing?
Saebom: If I
weren’t to be an idol, I would’ve been a pharmacist like my mother. I always
thought that she was cool and that it was a very good thing to do.
Seoyeon:
Probably a stewardess. I like learning new languages, and I think I’m good with
service. I was interested in the job ever since I was young.
Gaeul: I
would’ve studied art and become a stylist or a fashion designer. I love
Clothing!
Sugyeong:
Probably a dancer or a trainer at a music agency.
Jeonghee:
Anything related to perfume!!
Ahra: I haven’t
thought of anything other than an idol, but I do like children! So maybe a
teacher..?
Q. How do you feel knowing that you
have fans outside Korea?
Favorite: We’re very
thankful for them cheering for us overseas. We hope to show them better work.
Q. If you had to swap position with any
other member, who would you swap with?
Saebom: If I
could change my position, Sukyeong! I want the best dancer position in
Favorite.
Seoyeon:
Probably Saebom or Ahra for their main vocal position. I like people who are
good singers, and I think it’s very charming.
Gaeul: I want
to change with Seoyeon because she’s she tallest member while I’m the shortest!
Sugyeong: Gaeul
because I want to try dancing like her. We’re both in dance positions, but we have
a different style. I want to dance in Gaeul’s style.
Jeonghee: Gaeul
because she’s a very powerful dancer.
Ahra: I want to
change with Saebom. I was always the youngest anywhere, so I want to try being
the oldest.
Q. Do you have plans to write or
produce your own music? Any artist you'd like to work with?
Sugyeong: I
have lots of interest in producing and writing music. While we were resting in
between our comeback, I was learning a lot. One day I’ll try to write and
produce a song for Favorite.
Gaeul: If I get
the chance, I want to try writing with Hyuna.
Jeonghee: If I
get the time then yes, of course! I would be so happy if our members would go
onstage with a self-produced song.
Q. What is Favorite goal in 2018?
Favorite: Being in the
top 100 music chart, and successfully finishing our 2nd mini album so that we
can make another album this year.
