Hope was waiting for this day since the beginning of her career.An interview! And since it's a would-be-soon idol she was even more excited.

Here's Hope's Interview with Im Joo-na or simply Juju.

Hope :Good morning.This is Hope Hardy from Illumination,magazine.I was arranged to meet up with you to interview for our magazine.Hi Joo-na .I understand that you are busy with practice and all,I hope to not take much of your time and I promise we'll be done in a jiffy.

Juju :Good morning to you too! And no, you aren't taking away any of my practice time. No worries!

Hope :So good to go?

Juju :Mhm.

Hope :Well...Could you give us a quick introduction about yourself?

Juju :Of course! My name is Im Joo-na, I'm 16 years old, and love to sing and inspire people. 

Hope:Great.Well...How are you doing here? Are you able to cope up with the schedule here?

Juju: Haha... well, it's been a little hectic, but overall I'm enjoying it.

Hope:How does it feel to be a part of a big company like this?

Juju: It's honestly a dream come true. Like I said, I've always dreamed to be a singer, to lift people up with my music and inspire them. Thanks to Elysian, I now have that opportunity!

Hope :Are you in a group or are you a soloist?

Juju :Oh, I'm training as a Soloist.

Hope :Nice.How long have you been a trainee here?

Juju :I have been training here... I believe just a little under two years by now. Everyday has been wonderful so far!

Hope ::Great.So,You're still a student.How do you manage school and this?

Juju :It's difficult, to say the least. It's manageable, but difficult. The good thing is, I know things will improve eventually.

Hope : (Impressed at the positivity) A hopeful kid,ah...As a person with the name Hope,I'm impressed. Tell me Juju,how did you find out about Elysian?What inspired you to audition?

Juju :I actually found out through a friend who told me I should audition. Well, in short, I did, and I'm here now! 

Hope :Nice nice.Who are and were you great supporters?Is your family supportive of this?

Juju :Definitely my friends. I have a close friend in the company, actually, and we support each other as we train. My family was doubtful of my decision at first, but now, after working so hard, my family is supporting me and my dream.

Hope :How is it here so far?Are you enjoying it?What do you do when you get a day off?

Juju :So far it has been really quite magical! Like I said it's a dream come true, and I know that the harder I work the closer my dreams get. I'm very happy to be here. Ah, and my days off..? Hm, well sometimes I'd use the extra day to catch up on any homework I missed, or practice something I was lacking in, but if we're talking completely free, I go to the café a few streets down from Elysian towers. They have great boba, and it's a nice place to clear my head.

Hope :Have you always wanted to be an idol?Or was it a quick decision?

Juju :Yes. Kind of. It had always kind of been a thought in the back of my head. That if I wanted, I could show up at an audition one day. But I knew my family wouldn't support me, so for the longest time I ignored it. But I guess dreams always work themselves out somehow.

Hope :What are your plans and expectations for the future?

Juju :My plans? Well, debut with Elysian! *laughs* Does that count?

Hope :*laughs* It does. Well...That's all for today. But in the future I'm expecting to interview the idol Im-Joo na.

Juju : *laughs*Thank you for taking the time to interview me!

Hope : *smiles at the politeness* Good luck Juju.

Juju :Good luck to you too.
