Hyori W's Magazine interview

Glory and hell

This year, Hyori had either been on top or down in her career. She realized the plagiarism of her songs after her CD had been released. Hyori is resting during this time and one again she has to begin from the start. We have been waiting for her return and shining again onstage.

Q1: Which of your personalities do you think it shows your true self the most?
My personality is to find the truth, I hate fakeness. maybe some of you have this personality and you feel the same as me. I'm a person of public in a long time, so to me everyone is a friend, there are a lot of people who were honest to me and I had also told them true stories of mine after a drink.

Q2: To you, what is the real happiness?
This also depends on your ages. At this moment, a simple happiness to me is to perform on a small stage for only a few people, a place where I will perform the songs of my own. Although I have never done this before but I really want to do this right now. That's the reason why I'm learning to write music and playing guitar. Actually, standing on a grand stage is very comfortable and I will be under a high pressure performing on a small stage.

Q3: If you had to choose, which age do you want to go back to go forward?
There were times, I wanted to go back to my twenties. If I were back in my twenties and I knew what I wanted to do, maybe I would be happier than I am right now. I was notice/worry what other people think about me. But right now, I only think about myself, who I am? what I like the most? what I want to do?...

Q4: Whenever , where ever it is,What is the most treasure to you?
Truth, because of it that's why I am really tired of the plagiarism. I trust him with all my heart( Bahnus) it makes me realize how sensitive I need to be when it comes to trust issues such as checking the orginality of the songs and what not. ''If a person has reach the top, he has to look around, even to step back a step to protect his throne.'' But I wanted to more than that, I was to greedy. In the end, I regretted everything and I have to think about trusting people.

Q4: Recently, is there any song which you like?
''Put your records on'' of Corinne Bailey Tace. I had gone to ''Jisan Rock Festival'' to hear this song and her performance. This song is simple but it makes you feel happy. Corinne is a wonderful woman, after she lost her husband she still had the strength to perform again. In life, I have been through a lot of hardships, but on top of all, I will always sing with all my heart.
