She finds it difficult to write sad lyrics because she is a very happy person.

She has a “dongsaeng” JUNIER whose first debut is May 12th 2011.

Because her name is “Juni”el, so she does her oneman live concert every 12 each month. (Juni has the same pronouncation as “Jyuu ni”, 12 in Japanese). The last onemanlive was Feb 15th, 2012

“Cat Day” was actually written for her “Dog”

“Boy” and “Happy Day” were songs for her first love.

“Boy” was made when she was 3-year in middle school.

When she was elementary, she wanted to be a cool singer like BoA, she learned dancing, but she doesn’t have that talent. And move on to guitar.

Dream & Hope was composed to encourage her friend whose guitar is called “Banana” (downcast voice, sobbing, guitar, banana is one of the line in the lyric) and recently, there is a news that AOA Jimin’s guitar is called as “Banana”
