A girl with a calm personality and feminine looks, Mina flew from Osaka to Seoul with a 11-year long dream of becoming a Kpop star over a ballet dancer. She sometimes has an unexpected determination to do things or become really cordial with someone, and other times she has a positive and energetic drive towards her goals; she has gotten a lot of misunderstanding for being scary because she was so quiet. “Ballet became a habit for me since I started when I was so young. Thanks to a friend in middle school who liked Kpop, I danced to my first Kpop song. I was able to feel and practice the energy [from the dance]. After being casted to JYP and coming to Korea, I had to quit ballet, but I don’t regret that. I feel sad that I wasn’t able to graduate high school with my friends, but if I didn’t come to Korea back then, then I would not be here right now. I want to become like SISTAR sunbaenims. I want to gain that natural sexiness that beams out from their bodies. I also want to try a fansign! Because I get to do what I always saw in photos or on television.

What do you want your name to be related to when it's searched up on the Internet? **I think "ballet" will come up no matter what.**

* The entire nation watched the road to your debut. You all heard harsh words from Park Jinyoung in front of everyone. Is there anything you still remember from the comments?  **I most remember “That expression isn’t from your emotions. It’s like it’s practiced” from the first mission. After that, I strove for naturalness whether on-stage or off-stage meeting fans.**

* There’s an ocean of girl groups out right now, is there anything that sets TWICE apart? **Wouldn’t it be that we don’t put on any pretenses, and we just show a natural side?**
