[Interview] The Celebrity Interview (Feb 2016)

Actually, the girl is glamorous and sexy. Even though they say ‘Glamorous’ is a magic-like thing that makes you imagine something that doesn’t exist. However as for Nicole, I don’t think we need to look deeper into the meaning. One thing is for sure, we want to be together with the sexy Nicole a little bit more. Nicole says that she’s not a glamorous person. Despite her strong and glamorous body line made from pilates, she says that she is actually simple and ordinary on the inside. She doesn’t hide her image which is just a young girl who likes puppies, even though she is already past her mid 20s. Since she unable to bear with colds during winter, she admits her daily necessity is moving within a 1m radius of her bed, so she can reach out to get what she needs without having to move her feet.

It’s true that it’s not glamorous or mysterious, but there’s a slight glamour in that ordinary life. Aroma room spray is the thing that protects Nicole’s bed throughout the winter, she is sensitive to smells. She says that when the sweet and soft woody scent fills the air, it makes her heart calm down. This thing shows her glamorous emotions.

“I think a woman’s confidence and pride will become her beauty and give her strength. I think this is the glamorous strength possessed by women”



Q. What is ‘glamorous’ to you?
A. I’m not sure whether it’s because of the usual idea of a sexy woman, however every year there’s something that always motivates me. Since 4 years ago, every time a new season starts, I always watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show . It’s a show that I feel is the most perfect and exciting as a woman. A confident walk with a different concept compared to the usual fashion week. That moment when the models try to appeal themselves with their own personality is really beautiful. The part that makes me feel their absolute beauty is their strong confidence! I want to have that kind of confidence, it’s really admirable to the extent that it makes me want to steal it. I think a woman’s confidence and pride will become her beauty and give her strength. 

Q. What kind of glamour?
A. For example, when they stand on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show stage, when they are able to overcome all the looks and gazes and their pride manifests, they stand at the peak. It’s something that you can see from other popular celebrities who enjoy their stages with the same power, people like Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Ariana Grande, and Selena Gomez. Even though they are nervous, but the thing that rises into your soul, not only their hearts but also their pride. At that very glamorous moment, it’s the feeling of you squeezing out of yourself! It’s a stage of a different industry, however as a woman, the image of standing on that kind of show is my aspiration.

Q. Who is the celebrity that makes you feel the glamour?
A. It’s Jennifer Lopez, she is very sexy whether as a singer or in variety. She is very beautiful to the extent that no one can compare to her, despite her long active time. The image of her always knowing for sure what works, she always runs towards her goals, that image is very glamorous to me. Her confidence on stage is always overflowing. When she does a collaboration, no matter with who, she never falls behind and always shows off her confidence and perfection.

Q. How are you doing these days?
A. I went to New York for a week. I’m keeping the memories of walking through the environments and scenery that are not easy to see normally. I always wear sneakers when I go somewhere. Because when you use the car or subway, not only will you miss things to see but you can’t refresh yourself. Ah. My cooking has improved too. Recently I even make yukgaejang (Hot Spicy Meat Stew) and kalguksu (Chopped Handmade Noodles), and even stir-fried spicy pork, grilled back ribs and braised kimchi. With an improved cooking skills.

Q. How do you maintain your glamour?
A. Doing exercise regularly. More than twice in a week, I’m doing pilates to train my body and don’t let it accustomed to laziness. It’s an important process for the confidence of your inner side.

Q. Tips to maintain the body in winter?
A. Actually because of the gatherings during end of year and new year, it can’t be helped for us to not gain weight. Also, the cold will make you want to eat soup or stew. If you feel like you really need to eat that, what about cooking it by yourself and controlling the nutrients or you can eat breakfast and lunch, while for dinner, try to eat food made from sweet potato. Since when it is cold your body will shrink and naturally harden, it is also a good to do lower-body bathing and foot baths to help with your blood circulation.

Q. What’s Nicole’s plan for 2016?
A. I will release a single album in Japan in February, so I wish I’ll be able to be active in various things without resting. I’ll get lazy as much as I rest so I need to move without stopping for me to be able to become a glamorous Nicole. (laugh)
