Ryu Su-jeong, who debuted as part of Lovelyz in her teens and spent her 20s in intense activity, is now entering her 30s by Korean age standards. As the leading digit changes, she has learned how to calm the emotional waves. Ryu Su-jeong is now preparing for a marathon where she relaxes her shoulders and focuses entirely on music.

When asked about her feelings upon turning 30 after debuting in her teens, Ryu Su-jeong began by saying, "What has definitely changed is my mindset toward emotions and work." She added, "The emotional waves are less intense than before. I have become more stable and calm." She further confessed, "I think I've reached an age where I can accept things calmly that would have caused major upheaval in the past, whether in human relationships or work. That doesn't mean I'm extremely stable right now, but the fluctuations are less severe."

When asked if her 30s look as expected, she replied, "I thought I'd be even calmer than this, but it seems that's not quite the case," showing her signature honest smile.

Her vision for the future has also become more relaxed. Ryu Su-jeong said, "In my teens and 20s, I had dreams like 'I'll sing until I die no matter what' or 'I promised fans we'd have a dinner show.' But now that I'm in my 30s, it seems like pushing too hard doesn't make things move." She continued, "Now I want to practice letting go. Instead of chasing after everything, I want to focus on sharing good music with the fans. While the thought of making music over a long marathon remains the same, I feel my approach has changed somewhat," revealing her more mature inner self.

As Ryu Su-jeong finds emotional space in her 30s, new changes have also come to Lovelyz members who have shared joys and sorrows for a long time. Recently, member Yoo Ji-ae announced her marriage, becoming the group's first "sold-out" member. Yoo Ji-ae will marry actor Kwak Si-yang in November.

Regarding reactions in the group chat, Ryu Su-jeong said, "Everyone sincerely congratulated her. It may have been formal, but there was a warm atmosphere of 'Congratulations.' It was heartwarming to see that we've become people who can genuinely celebrate and share happiness." She expressed their close bond.

She continued, "I wondered if Ji-ae unnie's marriage would bring any changes to the group, but I didn't think so. Unnie is also the member who talks most about performances and future activities, so I wasn't worried," showing her firm trust.

When asked if she knew about the marriage beforehand, she shared behind-the-scenes details: "I heard it before, but when unnie simply said 'I'm getting married,' I didn't expect it to become news. Even so, it still felt sudden."

Watching the marriage of her closest member, did her thoughts on her own wedding change? Ryu Su-jeong emphasized that music remains her top priority. She said, "When Ji-ae unnie's marriage news broke, my album news was also being published. Seeing that made me think, 'Wow, that's so fast?' While everyone may want to get married at different times, I've set a long period for myself to be with music and fans, so even hearing the news didn't feel sudden."

She added, "I still wish more comeback news would come out. If I find a good partner, I'll get married, but until then, nothing is better than music," demonstrating her unceasing passion for music by saying she thought to herself, "Yes, that's just me."
