Red Velvet‘s Seulgi: “I’m sensitive sometimes, but I try not to get consumed by anxiety” [Photoshoot]

Red Velvet‘s Seulgi had a photoshoot for fashion magazine Elle. Seulgi, who released her second solo album ‘Baby, Not Baby’ on March 10 and is actively promoting, showed her professionalism and lovely side throughout the shoot.

In the interview conducted after the photoshoot, Seulgi looked back on the process of preparing this album. She said, “I focused on communication. The process of coming together as one opinion among many fun ideas was so much fun. I was also able to express my opinions in various ways during that process. I may not be the captain, but I think I played the role of the first mate.”

When asked about her thoughts when she first heard the title song, she said, “I thought there would be a lot I could do with this song. She expressed her affection for the song, saying, “I wanted to show a side of me that I haven’t shown before with the character Seulgi,” and “The members always support me no matter what I do. When I was preparing the album, they would contact me one by one to check on how it was going. I also want to continue to be a member who can support the team as the second youngest.”

Seulgi celebrated her 10th debut anniversary with Red Velvet last year. She has been active, such as releasing her first personal YouTube channel, “Hi Seulgi,” and holding her first photo exhibition.

Seulgi chose her calmness as the aspect of herself that will remain the same in the future. She showed her determination, saying, “There are definitely moments when I can’t help but be sensitive, such as right before going on stage. However, I always believe that everything will go well, and I try not to be absorbed by anxiety. Of course, it’s good to express my emotions, but in the end, I think I’m the one who understands myself the best, so I try to restrain my expression, and that’s how I became calm.”

Seulgi’s personal pictorial and interview can be found in the April issue of Elle and on the Elle website.
