I remember my first dance class. Watching the masterful dance moves under that particular atmosphere of the dance studio gave me the urge to do the same one day. Step Up was also creating a phenomenon at the time, and I was completely obsessed with the film. Dancing was on my mind every single day. I would only wear clothes that were suitable for dancing, like big T-shirts, tracksuits, and sneakers. That’s how dancing became a part of my life. “Lisa” would immediately be associated with dancing. Although I get shy sometimes, I am full of confidence when it comes to dancing.
Because I’m extroverted, I can adapt to different situations quite easily. I absorb different cultures quickly as well, so adapting to Korean culture wasn’t difficult at all. If there’s a difference from before, it’s probably that I started to enjoy wearing chic achromatic colors! Every time I go on world tours, I examine what kinds of clothes different people wear. Doing so helps me pick and choose what style suits me the best. – Lisa
