She said, "My real self and the self that comes out in 'Produce 101' are the same.  I was scared [of myself] when I was monitoring.  I hear that I'm worse in real life," and laughed.

Despite her fierceness, she said, "I'm the type to cry a lot," and explained she most recently cried on 'Produce 101.'  After seeing the development of Kim So Hye and knowing full well how hard the choreography is, she became emotional.  As she could understand the desperation of the trainees on the show, she couldn't hold back the compassionate tears, especially at seeing how the trainees nervously eyed her and gritted their teeth.

She continued, "However, when you see the comments, there were a lot of responses like, 'She poked her eye,' 'She's gone into acting,' and more.  It was fun."
