MGA Season 5 ୨୧ Episode 5 ୨୧ Interview

Did practising in the company’s practice room make a difference? Chaeryeong couldn't help but chuckle. “Of course! Quite a lot at that. It's easier to get into the right head-space there and of course the rooms were build to be practised in, which made things easier. At the same time, as we were two different teams, it wasn't all peachy. We both had two obnoxiously loud songs, so that could be a little distracting while going through choreography and lines, but I think we arranged ourselves well, overall,” she said, smiling prettily. “It was also nice to socialise a bit more,” the girl added a few seconds after. She hoped (and expected) the group rounds to continue for a bit.

Is there anyone you had higher expectations for compared to other teams? “The team we shared the practise room with. After all I could watch them a little during breaks, so I saw their progress. They also have an exciting song, so that promised an interesting performance,” she honestly wouldn't mind performing it herself one day. She'd seen “Jackpot” performed by a female group in another survival show, since then its mood had intrigued her. At the same time she simply didn't usually have many expectations for other teams, only for herself and the team he was in.

Which performance, aside from your team, stood out to you? “Hm...” the girl started tentatively, “The team performing “Love Shot” did well, I like how they put effort into changing the performance from the original,” It was a bit difficult for her to answer this. How would her answer be interpreted? If she mentioned someone who was publicly known as her friend, would she get negative comments for that? What if—from her perspective—she couldn't see mistakes someone made? While she'd grown more used to these interviews, she doubted starting to like them anytime soon.
