- What are the awards you desire to win at the end of this year, SBS Drama Award? "I wish I could get the Rookie (Newcomer) of the Year Award. In Dong Ha's Interview, He said that 'You'll receive it without hesitation'. If I could win Rookie of the Year award, I'll be grateful with my heart and I'll take it right away. (smiles)"

- For acting, 'I've tried it this far'? "I practiced a lot of facial expressions while looking in the mirror. I often see a familiar facial expression when I take pictures for advertisements. It looks like it's coming out naturally. Other that that, I tried to imitate my favorite dramas or movies. You can print out the script from the drama website, I bought a book and studied it again."

-The drama that I watched interestingly? "I enjoyed watching the drama, 'I Have a Lover'. Kim Hyun-joo Sunbae-nim is my role model. Since I like Sunbae-nim, I'll work hard and I hope i will be able to act in the same work as Kim Hyun-joo Sunbae-nim."

- #Goddess-Idol #Golden Ratio, How do you feel that there are lots of compliments about your appearance and figure? "I'm Happy. Every time I hear that phrase, I get stimulated and manage my body harder. In fact, when self-esteem drops, I suffer from dieting. Compared to my earlier debut, it's very different. My face has changed. What can Hello Venus Nara show you something good? Thinking about it, I like when someone is taking pictures of me. So I decided to go on a diet.

"I used to weigh up to 65-kilogram. I realized that it was a problem that I didn't manage myself, so I went on a diet without taking a break. I still try to work out four times a week. I get nervous when I gain weight. 'Nara's good body. good proportions' Thank you for your compliments, I feel excited and I got more motivated, I promise not to neglect my body care. And while looking at my old photos and say, 'Do not go back this time!'. The process is too hard."

- #Nara Diet Secrets? "I don't eat carbohydrates. I don't eat sugar, flour, salt, and rice. I went on a diet like this with a diet of potato + chicken breasts and fruit (ex. apple). Running the treadmill for 3 hours without muscle strength. After getting sick, I go to a gym to get a healthy diet, and I keep doing Pilates. Of course, when I was a trainee, I have a financial burden, so i used to exercise in the practice room. Right now I get the right muscles and disc with good pilates, It maintains correct posture and internal health."

- Hellovenus New Album Plan? "We’re preparing for the end of this year. If I have a chance, I would like to challenge dramas and movies. I don't want to lose touch with the shooting scene because the atmosphere of the filming place is unfamiliar. In Suspicious Partner i met a lot of good people, I want to meet a lot of good people and continue to experience new experiences.

-Since when did you prepare for acting? "Before my debut, I learned about vocalization, but after my debut with HELLOVENUS, I was unable to do it because of my activities. I did not learn the classes privately but I practiced with monologues while watching drama or movie. I've auditioned quite a lot since my debut, but I didn't get accepted easily. My interest and confidence in acting gradually started to fade away. 'Is it acting?' I thought. But I wanted to act in the beginning because i have a big heart that want to challenge myself. Therefore i want to do it more, and from now on I want to consistently work hard deeply with acting."

-What is your biggest worry these days? "How do I sleep?, The biggest problem is how to feel less tired. I'm so sleepy that it's hard to shake off the drowsiness. When I memorize the script, I fall asleep and regret it. I usually sleep for about 1 or 2 hours when filming the drama. Normally, I can sleep about 10 to 11 hours."

-In previous interviews, Prior to your first acting challenge was there a 'worry and fear'? "It's the first drama challenge, so I've got a lot of pressure on it. I hoped that the director didn't see me as Hellovenus Nara. I wished that i was seen as the Actor Kwon Nara. It was a big assignment for me. I thought about it until the end of the day. But in the meantime, i'm going to have to find a way to try to enjoy it. With the burden and responsibility."

-It must have been difficult to start with a prosecutor role rather than a real-life acting. "The terms of the law were quite difficult. I lack a lot of acting experience and it was hard to react quickly to rapid changing situations. The script I saw had a lot of interrogation and I interviewed the people who were killed in the trial. Apparently there were many medical terms. There's a lot of trouble because there's a lot of tough terms like head damage, brain hemorrhage and abdominal bleeding, so there's a limit."

-Did your Partner and Senior Ji Chang-wook gave you advice on acting?? "Ji Chang Wook oppa advised me that 'It's not important to memorize the lines. You need to tell me what you mean.' I thought that we need to memorize the line so we can shoot, but I learn and memorize the lines by heart. I didn't thought of something like that at all."

"Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun are amazing in acting and learning the terms and lines in just a minute. I saw it and thought it was great. 'I'm getting the wrong approach.' It was a moment when I was able to feel the urge to act again with my thoughts. Meanwhile, He he did not lose his laughter and he did his job as an atmosphere maker."

-How did he get the role of the atmosphere maker? "I'm really nervous and Ji Chang Wook sunbaenim said, 'I am nervous up to my ears. I'm gonna lose my metabolism.' or 'Nara-ya Did you wash your hair?' I was able to adapt to the scene naturally by playing with the jokes. I couldn't get a joke at first, but I was able to adapt myself to the atmosphere."

-Ji Chang Wook visiting plans? "'Suspcious Partner' End Party, i told Ji Chang Wook Oppa about visiting, he said 'Don't Come~'. I said with the same expressions, "I am going to perform the concert together with the members of Hello Venus." He said "Call!". I should go there for a concert instead of visiting. (smiles)"
