Tiffany's Predebut Video:
"Family, and trainers/teachers who are like family: Tiffany"
"Since my family is in America, I felt a lot of loneliness, and at first it was hard to even carry on a conversation in Korean.
There were many times when I felt solitude and I had to suffer slumps, but I think I was able to win it out happily in the end because my parents were constantly encouraging me.
Also whenever I was feeling down, my trainers/teachers would take care of me and buy me yummy food to lift my spirits, so they gave me lots of strength.
I always tried hard to control my mind/heart.
When my mind/heart would fall apart, it was because I felt like I wouldn't be able to win over my period of training."
