Sooyoung's Predebut Video:
"Being neat and proper at school, even when things are tough: Sooyoung"
"Since my home is in Gyeonggido Kwangju, I had to wake up at 6am to go to school and leave early at 12pm to come to practice.
The only thing we did was practice until 3am, with the exception of eating lunch. There were many times when I saw the sunrise before going home.
Sometimes we even brought sleeping bags to the training room and slept there. Still, I tried very hard not to fall asleep in school.
We were already getting sharp looks from people because we were training to be celebrities, if I feel asleep the glares would have been much worse, right?
We tried even harder to follow all the regulations and standards. We wore the uniform neatly, and did our hair according to the rules."
