#nayoung.

now that you’re not an actress anymore, the world is dying to know: what is moon nayoung doing?

what a pesky devil of you. it’s not like i’m very busy but it’s not i want to be busy, so eating well, sleeping well, travelling, picking different hobbies, spending a lot of time on youtube. i’m unemployed, but gladly.

do you ever plan on acting again?

noo, i loved acting but that phase of my life is over. i am ready to be myself and no else for quite some time. i encourage acting though, it’s an exercise and it was an experience.

we saw your cat a lot on your social media, what’s is their name?

oh, when we started this i was crossing my fingers thinking: please talk about my cats. in all forms expect physical, i’m a cat. so i found manwol in a shelter, she looked me in the eye suspiciously and i thought “she is testing me”, so i took her home to complete her task. she is always watching me, i don’t know if like a affectionate way, however she is very jealous of the people around me and for that reason i think we identify with each other. i don’t remember my boyfriend’s cat names though, he has many and they just keep adding, i just call them what i feel like calling them and they always answer, it’s like an unspoken connection.

when are you and keun getting married though?

it’s that a thing you’d like to see? think we should live it for the world and charge a few to enter the livestream?

what’s the most used app on your phone?

it’s between my yoga app, subway surfaces and piano tiles. people often underestimate how good i am with phone games, not that i am bragging but i’ve had years of boredom and that adds to the experience.

we heard you like cooking, what’s your favorite dish to cook right now?

my favorite thing to cook... is spaghetti, there is like a hundred ways to do them differently and i love noodles. garlicky spaghetti, vegetable spaghetti, crock-pot spaghetti, the famous carbonara... there is baked spaghetti, it’s one of my favorites, chicken spaghetti, there is even a million dollar spaghetti that’s great and super easy. but last week i aced the tagine, it’s from maroccos. fun fact is most people think the word tagine is the meal itself but tagine is actually the cookware used to cook the meal. the reason for using a tagine is to make a dish tender and bring out its natural flavors. 

what’s the place you want to travel the most?

i would love to go somewhere on the american continent, because their food is rich and it’s very different from asia but at the same time i don’t like travelling for long periods and spending too much time on a plane. i would like to see mexico or argentina, maybe even cuba too. 

which of your friends are you most proud of? and why?

i don’t have that many friends, it’s not that hard to choose between them. the one that most accomplished things this year was bonghu, but that’s mainly because she got pregnant and i admire her nerve. she is a great friend, mom, person, woman and all in general so that makes me proud. 

what’s the song you sing along when you hear it?

ring ring.

who is the last person you texted? and what as the text about?

it was my friend group, i send a bear emoji with a blinking heart. i can’t recall what was the conversation about, it just called for a cute bear emoji.

how is your morning routine? 

i wake up, look into my phone for like fifteen minutes to an hour (there is no in-between), i go pee and take a shower, do my skincare, feed the cats, cook breakfast, eat breakfast, go jogging or hit the gym. now in quarantine i would do yoga at home, but since it’s better now i just go jogging again. and that takes about my whole morning.

who was your first celebrity crush?

i think it was patrick swayze, but also harrison ford. 

what’s on your mind like right now?

this. i mean? what else? i don’t know. 

what do you spent way too much money on?

masterclass online classes! i find it so interesting even though i know i don’t have the vocation of being a professional in that area, i mean... it’s just so great. i started paying for gordon ramsey’s classes, because i love that man but now i think i’ve even seen natalie portamn, anna wintour and even usher’s classes. 

what’s the most cringy worthy thing you’ve seen someone post on social media?

i’m not one to judge cause all i have are cats and food, and that’s the most cringy worthy you can ever get on social media but i hate when people do this long captions like, no one is gonna read it and they know it but they just do that too sound smart and meaningful. i mean there’s nothing you can really say that can’t be said in private, right? i don’t know.

what was the last show you binge-watched?

finished you a few days ago, don’t know if it was worth it, but i did it anyways. there was stranger too, season two was very well done.

what is your favorite item of clothing?

my favorite item of clothing? hm, i think is black high waist pants because one) it’s comfy. two) it’s cheap. 3) it goes with anything in your wardrobe. 4) and with any weather or mood.  

what are you passionate about?

i think... i’m passionate about just living, i mean. focusing on the present feeling and go from there, you know?! no need to be anxious about things you can’t see, while being responsible about the things you do right now and just work with that, like, make your lemonades. 

what’s the best part of your 20′s? what are you taking from this age?

hm. there is a lot of figuring out, from yourself and from others, nothing is certain and everything is fragile but also soothing and exciting. like there is many things i wanna do but also i don’t feel like doing, it’s a contradictory age that’s just hard to understand. i was not one to feel nostalgic or regret things, but as you get older you start to do that and you have to remind yourself that is a way to learn and be better. so for me, the best part is truly looking at yourself differently everyday, changing is inevitable so you have to keep remembering who you are and what you stand for in order to keep going. i hope that i am taking a better person from this. also make good friends, that’s probably the best advice and best part of your 20′s.

who was the last person you had a deep conversation with?

i don’t have many deep conversations, i am more the type that listens. but when i do it’s just thoughts, like now in this interview. so probably my last deep conversation is this, because you’re asking me things that are hard not to be deep about.

best advice you received from someone.

advice’s can be fragile and change from time to time, so the only one i think is right is about being kind to others, that sounds basic but that’s because it’s suppose to be. 

what’s the one food you can’t bring yourself to eat?

funny enough, i don’t like egg. like fried egg, i mean if it’s in the food and as an ingredient, i don’t really mind but as a meal itself... i don’t really like it. i don’t care for tofu either, i can eat it though.

if you were in a band, what kind of music would you play?

i would go for r&b but it would become popular quick so i’d have to make it pop but with still a little r&b vibe, know what i mean? but i can’t really sing, or play any instrument.

if it would have a movie about your life, what would be the title?

did you listen to folklore, the taylor swift album? i came across mad woman, and i really like that song, i think something like that... it doesn’t need to be something big and meaningful, just moon nayoung it’s fine. but i don’t want a movie about my life, there is many other important stories to tell.

do you believe in astrology? 

i don’t really have an opinion. i’m a sagittarius, who are suppose to be really free spirits, curious and idealistic, which i don’t know if it’s me or not. so i think is funny but i don’t really care.

do you consider yourself romantic? what’s the most romantic gesture you have done?

me? i don’t know. i don’t think i do things in name of romance, i do them because i want to. that sounds sooo bitter, but i swear it’s not! i may be a romantic though, but i am not hopeless, at least not anymore. cooking for your partner counts as big romantic gesture? cause i’ve done that a lot.

what was your favorite book as a child?

peter pan and little women. i probably didn’t wanna grew up, right?!

do you prefer baths or showers?

i like both, but i prefer showers because it takes less time and it’s more practical. cold showers in the summer all the way.

tell something you learn that you wish more people would too.

pay your bills before due date, mark them on your calendar or something and try to pay them before it’s due. even if it leave you broke for a few days, if you take your time it will only make you more lazy and it will become a habit. 

now leave us with a secret that no one knows about you.

there is not much people don’t know about me anymore and if there is, that’s the reason why it’s a secret, am i right? but maybe i call tell you that i already cheated on a text or something, cause that’s all i have for you. sorry.

                 as a couple in their mid-twenties who now excitedly lived together and also shared the same group of friends, nayoung and keun would try to go out at least every weekend. even though sometimes, keun had a busy schedule or other times they just prefer to stay in and spend time alone. however, they didn’t had to put on many efforts to go out because they enjoyed being with people and anyone could tell they both also enjoyed the part of getting ready. even if nayoung didn’t admit, it was really fun making keun choose her outfit — he would always make her go a little out of her comfort zone, which was surprisingly good because nayoung always looked perfect in everything. he, on the other hand, had many ways to surprise her with his outfits choices, in a very pleasing way, of course. and it didn’t matter which clothes they were wearing, they always seemed to match very likely to each other when they showed up together. right now, getting ready in the bathroom, she was just finishing up her makeup when keun stopped by the door with a pose. her eyes rolled as she saw his figure through the mirror, giving him a smile when she turned to see him better in his black jeans and gucci leather jacket. ‘ what do you want me to say? you outshine me. ’ she grinned, laughing and backing her hands in the sink. just when he was out and about in his compliments about her looks too — exactly what she secretly wanted to hear, that’s when she took the opportunity to lean him closer and fix his necktie a little bit. ‘ whatever you saying… ’ she stopped his speech in half while he was looking down for her, their eyes locking into each other. ‘ i already know, you know. ’

                her giggle echoed a little while keun took off his shirt in the sexiest and funniest way possible, she was definitely not expecting that when she said that shirt needed cleaning, she just wanted to do the laundry peacefully. ‘ you’re not posing for vogue, keun. ’ she would have picked up the shirt where he threw in the floor in a dramatic way, but his arms were already all over her small figure and he totally made her forget what she was doing in the first place. it was not just because he was shirtless that he would have her way into her pants, not that simple, although she would admit it was effective most times. ‘ stop. i have things to do. ’ nayoung tried giggling her way out of his arms, however, she was longing a bit to stay in his embrace. she couldn’t even begin to express how good it felt having a place just for the both of them, seeing him every day to morning until noon, dividing domestic tasks and deciding what to do for dinner… all of those silly and casual couple things that she thought it only actually existed in movies, were now they reality, even if it still sometimes felt like a dream. those stupid thoughts made her eyes water just a little, her arms finally quitting and hugging him right back, her head resting at his chest trying to listen carefully for his heart beating. there was no need for further explanation, his hands then proceeded to pet her head, she could stay like that forever and she would, oh, she would.

                 this is gonna sound a cliché because i’m korean and i know that’s probably not just korean’s favorite food but maybe a whole percent of the world… i love ramen. i feel bad for saying this. my favorite it’s probably homemade kimchi ramen, nothing beats this classic! i love chicken and artichoke ravioli too, it’s splendid, i didn’t recall where i found the recipe but it’s one of my favorites. sorry because i didn’t mean to sound evil towards the little chickens, cause sometimes i do feel bad… i’ve tried some vegetarian restaurant last week, and i absolutely loved their brown rice risotto with mushrooms and fresh oregano, i’m excited to try it at home. i’ll share with you my result when i do. or well, i share it on instagram, you can catch it there cause i’m sure it won’t last long if it gets as good as i tried before, also i don’t want to become one of those accounts who just post food to water your eyes, you know?! i think that’s why i devour everything right away and always forget to take a picture, i’m not the best role model in this sense. totally not fit for an influencer, sorry.
