Sun Chengquan of Red Velvet recounts her return to the stage and becoming a regular guest on the new music talk show "The Mysterious Record Shop". Since this is the first time she has taken a poster alone, Sun Chengquan admits: Before going to bed last night, I searched for words such as "photo" and "magazine" on my phone and looked up a lot of poses. I referenced photos of models in suits, such as manuscripts I received in advance. I don't have much experience shooting pictorials alone, so I'm a little nervous, but I'm happy to shoot.
On New Year's Day, Sun Cheng completed the online concert "Culture Humanity" with SMTOWN and returned to the stage after a long absence. She said it's been almost a year since the last time she stood on stage with the members of Red Velvet. It was a show that blended all possible emotions, including nervousness, excitement, nervousness. It was a non-face-to-face online concert, so I thought I'd be more excited if there were real fans in the audience and I could hear them cheering.
During the break, she was with her parents. She explained: "When I was young, I studied abroad for a while, and after my debut, I was busy with activities, so I didn't spend much time with them. They also told me that the time with me was really special.
"The Mysterious Record Shop", in which Sun Chengquan is the host, premiered on January 22. She was persuaded to join the show because she felt that artists could grow from listening to the stories of their guests' lives and recommending music to them. After joining the show, Sun Chengquan learned more about the music of the 60s and 70s. Every week, Yoon Jong-shin Jang Yoon-hyun and Cho Kyu-hyun join her show.
Recently, Sun Chengquan has been leaning towards a certain type of music. She explains: "I look for and listen to songs with touching stories. I like songs from a long time ago or lyrics from indie musicians. There are a lot of metaphorical lyrics in the idol group's music, so I keep repeating it and I'm happy to interpret the lyrics myself.
In The Mysterious Record Shop, the weekly guests come from a wide range of industries, including crime analysts and financial experts. Sun Chengquan said that she is glad to have the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and different lifestyles. She further explains that listening to music can be comforting. Even if you don't have to say exactly what you want to say, you can feel the emotions in the song and understand the story. I think that's the power of music.
When it comes to making music with Red Velvet, Sun Chengquan said that the most important thing is that their voices can be well integrated in the songs. She adds: "When I sing alone, I'm more focused on passing on the lyrics. I tried to sing as if I were telling a story to the person next to me.
Spring is coming, Sun Chengquan said: I hope everyone can be warm and healthy. I think happiness exists not only in a special place, but also in the surroundings. Instead of being nervous, take a slow look at the people around you. When you do, I may soon come to visit you and bring you happiness. I want to show myself more by singing and acting. I will definitely do it. Want to see more of Sun Cheng's finish?
