Author's Note:
Because I am not a fan of American Hustle Life and I honestly don't want to put myself through having to watch it fully again, and it would take literally forever for me to write it if I were to write it like I've been writing the variety shows, I've decided to write it in kind of like snapshots of different times throughout the show. There will still be an obvious timeline and the normal amount of detail and interaction, it just won't be a day-to-day description. I'm probably not describing it very well, but I promise it won't be weird or badly written/incorporated into this story. You might not even notice the slight tweak in story writing (hopefully lmao).
I just thought that that was the best of both worlds since you guys really wanted me to write about AHL and I personally don't want to put that much time on it and move on lol.
April 29th, 2014:
I was sitting in front of two cameras to film a pre-interview for American Hustle Life, a Mnet show we were filming where we would learn more about hip hop while we were in LA.
"Did you know a lot about hip hop before joining the group?" asks the producer.
"Honestly? No. But I've learned a lot through the boys. The dancing, the rhythm, the lyrics, the lifestyle... they've all taught me about it, especially Suga and Rap Monster-oppa," I answer honestly.
"So, what do you think hip hop is?" continues the producer.
"Wow... um... that's such a deep question," I chuckle, "I think hip hop is something different from every person that performs it. It's a way for someone to express themselves freely, how they want, and kind of go against the system... It's not just about music or dance, like I said before it's a lifestyle, even a culture in a way I think," I respond sincerely.
"Wow, was not expecting that kind of response," laughs the producer impressed, "what are you hoping to learn from being on this show?"
"I'm not sure honestly," I laugh, "I'm not quite sure what to expect. I just hope that I grow and learn to become a more mature and experienced artist since I will be truly living the lifestyle. I don't think I have an excuse to not understand hip hop after this," I answer.
"What do you think will be the hardest part of this show?" asks the producer.
I pause to think. Should I say the obvious? That being a girl in the hip-hop world, even the idol one, is quite hard and emotionally draining. Or should I say the easy thing, non-controversial thing, like having to translate everything for the boys?
"I think the hardest thing about this show is... it's probably going to be proving myself I think. Proving to the mentors in the U.S., but also to the other members and myself that I can be a hip-hop artist... And translating for the boys," I add laughing, lightening the mood.
"Onto an easier question," the producer says smiling, "what do you want to do in America?"
"Oooo, I want to go to the beach! I love water and swimming," I say excitedly.
"Ok, great, that's it. Thanks," the producer finishes the interview somewhat abruptly after my response.
