15& Baek Yerin "Adult now, it's a pity that I couldn't date while wearing my school uniform" Because of the team name '15&', it surprised me when I heard that she is now 20. She debuted with Park Jimin in 2012. Adult ceremony is now coming close to Baek Yerin. She released a solo album as a new challenge last year. When I was listening to Baek Yerin's songs, the scene in "Begin Again" somehow popped up in my head. Not about gorgeous technique but about using her own voice to sing her 20, I asked her about her thoughts towards music. You are famous with your casual wear fashion through Instagram. As you have many 10s fans, people called you '10s Jeon Jihyun'. Yerin: Every time I do an interview, people always talk about this, it makes me feel shy other than my photos. At first I didn't have any intention, I just like to take photos of my look. But when the photos are compiled together, it became like this. To talk about your own fashion style? Yerin: I like to wear clothes that suit me. Although there are always new fashion trends to follow, I don't actually wear those clothes. Basic items, or some old things that I had for a long time, I also buy clothes in salvation shop if there are some clothes that I like. Besides, I'm working hard to make signature items of mine. 20 years old, how does it feel like to become an adult?
Yerin: I feel like I grew up a lot this year compared to last year. Age is age but society life actually has a great impact on me, I think I go through this earlier than my friends. Your ban on dating has been released, when do you want to start dating? Yerin: I won't start it intentionally because of my job. Timing is important, isn't it? I want to write my songs and lyrics slowly, I don't want my emotions to dry up because of it. What will you do if you meet your ideal type? Will you start a romance? Yerin: I think I will follow his style. If that person is a style that want me to come to him, I will go to him. If he is a style that will come to me, then I will wait for him. Other than the romance of dating, I felt that it was a pity that I couldn't date in a school uniform. I really want to try it but I already graduated. Last year your solo album 'FRANK' had a really good reaction. Title song "Across the Universe" is good but I like the last track more. Are there any stories in this song? Yerin: Of course! The last song "That's Why" is one of the two songs I wrote in English. With same heart but different songs, the lyrics are simple also. They are my thoughts with barely reflection. Did you watch "Begin Again"? Yerin: It's an interesting movie for me. The style of your songs is like Keira Knightley as Gretta will sing in the movie. Yerin: I always heard that from the others, Actually "That's Why" was written before the movie. After watching the movie, I think that it's really similar. What do you think is the relation between making your songs and hit songs? Yerin: This is probably the most confused problem to any artist. I actually worried a lot but I put these two together. When I am working, I will put those great songs into my album and I want to take care of both sides so I will find out the parts that satisfy these two. So that in the side tracks, I can put in many songs I really want to do. Is there anything that will affect you in the big company, JYP? Yerin: As I compose my own songs, other than the results, I get a lot of influence during the process. I learnt a lot from my seniors and JYP PD will give me many advices. From the point of view of composing, they are all big seniors so I also learn something new. Grouping as 15& with Park Jimin and solo, what's the good and bad things? Yerin: Solo has more things needed to be concern about. When I am performing with Jimin, it feels more fun. When it's solo, I am always alone in shooting MV, composing songs, producing etc. Pro is that I can do all the things in my way? 15& needed to take care of the taste of the masses, while in my solo, I just do whatever I want. At last, what is your plan in the future? Yerin: Firstly, I am preparing my album. I want to try different genres of music as a challenge. Please look forward to it.
