Korean Cultural Club 8th Activity—Interview with Scoot Kpop Starhunt Singapore Finalist Evon Chua

This time, our KCC managed to interview our Scoot Kpop Starhunt Singapore Finalist Evon Chua! :) The hour-long interview at U-Town was surely a fruitful one and all of us totally get to feel Evon's friendliness. Evon was just like an old friend of ours and we spoke really freely for most things :)

Here are some of the things that we asked about her in the interview:

1.  How do you think Korean culture has influenced Singapore culture?

It brings people together, just like how we are brought together now. (Laughs)

2. What aspect of Korean culture are you most interested in?
Food, especially Koreans noodles. Cos they are really nice to eat. Hmmm, let me see...naengmyeon, jajangmyeon. (Burst into laughter)

3. Why did you want to be a Kpop Star?
I didn’t think of being a Kpop Star actually. I had thought of becoming a singer, and it apparently came along that I have this opportunity to be a Kpop Star. I wanted to be a Mandarin singer and joined Mandarin singing competitions initially. Life brought me into K-Pop and it was good.

4. Out of the whole KPop Star Hunt experience, which one would you say is the most valuable?
Making friends from different countries who loves singing and friends who share the same passion with us.

5. Would you recommend this experience to others?
Yes, definitely. Go ahead and try it out. It's going to be another experience for yourself.

6. Were there times when you doubted your decision to join the competition?
No, on the whole I don’t regret my decision. Although there were some apprehensions when I was going to Korea, but it was still worth it on the whole.

7. How long have you trained for the competition?
All my life (jokingly). I was dancing all the time so I guess I was prepared. Vocal-wise, I chose a repertoire of songs and prepared for 2-3 months before flying off to Korea.

8. What are your future goals in pursuing your dream?
Writing songs, sending my demos to recording companies worldwide.
