You have always mentioned how passionate you are about the art of dance, but have you ever considered the risks? For example, back in July you issued an apology to fans for being wheel chair bound during a concert performance. To make matters worse, you have been injured a plethora of times since debut and with your laborious schedules only intensifying, one wouldn’t be wrong to say that none of your injuries suffered so far has had adequate time to heal. Does the thought of your injuries hindering your ability to dance in the future scare you? What would you do if you were physically unable to dance?

In June of this year, when asked what the secret to SNSD’s longevity was, you responded with, “We don’t have any difficult members". This response caused quite a stir from fans and netizens alike seeing as a former member had departed in 2014 on what appeared to be ‘difficult’ terms. Can you elaborate on your response to the question? And honestly speaking, was your response intended to ‘shade’ the former group member for being ‘difficult’? On the topic of ‘difficult’, what qualities do you think a ‘difficult’ member might possess that would affect the longevity of the group?

Ever since your much anticipated solo debut in 2015, you’ve been praised for experimenting with different musical genres and exceeding expectations with unpredictable concepts.Being a versatile artist has it’s perks, one of them being the reason why many have chosen you over other vocal powerhouses. Besides the aforementioned versatility, could you name one other quality you think you possess that others do not? Furthermore, can you tell us what separates SNSD’s Kim Taeyeon from Solo Kim Taeyeon in terms of style?

Acting in any drama as an idol dabbling in acting is sure to be met with harsh criticism- especially so when an idol-actress such as yourself, prior to your success in China’s ‘ God of War, Zhao Yun’, has had 4 dramas dubbed as flops while acting as a lead actress. You’ve managed to break the mold in Korea, too, with your acting in ‘K2′ receiving praise from netizens for your improvement and effort. How does it feel to read positive comments about your acting? Prior to being given the role, were you apprehensive to take on this drama because of previous attempts being recognized as lackluster?

Despite August 1, 2016 marking Red Velvet’s third anniversary, Red Velvet has yet to have a breakthrough song to propel them into fame. In fact, girl groups of the big three such as JYP’s TWICE who debuted in 2015 and  YG’s Black Pink who debuted this summer, have easily became trends of their subsequent generation. As the leader of Red Velvet, how does the imbalance in popularity of your group vs the other two affect the way you perceive your own budding career? Do you wish Red Velvet was given more public friendly songs such as your previous title track ‘Russian Roulette’? Or would you prefer Red Velvet sustain their unique color despite not becoming trend on first listen?

In your August pictorial for Grazia, you stated the following, “ I wanted to show that I’ve matured through acting. People see me as very upright, and I can be that way, but I can be silly too.” In the drama, “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Goryeo” you played  the last princess of Baekje, who abandons her identity in order to carry out a revenge-based assassination on the royal family. Would you say that the character you portrayed was similar to you in that, through acting, you were trying to abandon your identity as the maknae of Girls’ Generation?  In addition to abandoning your identity as just the maknae of Girls’ Generation, have you ever considered pursuing a solo to do so? Why or why not?

With the debut of EXO’s sub unit: EXO-CBX, you have been repeatedly praised for your  vocal prowess and acknowledged greatly for how efficiently you were able to pull off the concept alongside your group mates. Do you feel that being placed within this smaller unit has helped you gain recognition for your talent? Additionally, what is the biggest difference between promoting as a 3 member group vs a 9 member group?
