hard. And I think my friends that goes

to school here or in Paris, they find it

harder. you know, I started working

early, so it was kind of easy for me.

I'm a open book. Like, I'm I love making

friends and I'm not afraid to be a fan

of somebody. I feel like I could learn

from anyone that I like getting

inspired, meeting new people, talking to

them about their life, like listening to

what they went through.

Actually,

I think I was a good student. I was the

type was close with the teachers. I

think I was really mature from when I

was young. So, I would like have lunch

with the teachers and just like chill

with them. Not in a kissing ass way. I

just can't do that. But yeah, I was like

friends with them. And all my friends

were always older than me. I really like

listening to people's stories and you

know, they been through all that.

No, actually he's cool with everything

and he's an artist himself. He does

painting and he writes children's book

and he makes these robots. So he was

actually the one who wanted me to do

music. He's the one that inspired me.

He's the one who made me listen to all

the good music when I was young.

the only thing I eat when I get here,

right? It's just different, but it's

good. You know, like in Korea, there's

like Chinese food and it's it's not like

Chinese food. I think that's how it is

here. It's not like proper proper sushi

and stuff.

friends and modern family type of

stuff because I think my like daily life

is so like dramatic that when I go back

home I like to sit back and watch those

stuff I cannot do. You know,

to be honest, these days I'm listening

to the stuff I made, the new stuff I'm

making. I feel like when you're on the

plane by yourself, that's the only time

I feel like I get my own time. That's

one of my favorite moments. Like I could

just sit down and listen to the stuff I

made, go through the stuff I couldn't

because of all the craziness.
