• • •She adjusts her hair for what it seems to be the twelfth time. She still had her Hanlim Multi Art School uniform on from leaving class early, since there wasn’t anything left there that was particularly interesting. This, though? The exact opposite. “Okay Tzu, it’s rollin… - can you stop touching your hair?! You always do that when you’re nervous! Relax!” said a voice away from the camera, but perhaps this only made her even more of a nerve-wreck. For moments like these, the only thing that managed to pull her out from the trance was repeatedly chanted ‘be aggressive, be be aggressive’ in her head. Be aggressive, Tzuyu! “Hi, hello,” she waved, with a smile. “I’m Chou Tzuyu, I’m a 99’ liner and I …well, I’m a mess. I was born in Rome but honestly, I like to call myself a child of the world because, until Seoul, I’ve never stayed in the same country for more than two years. I’ve had ahm …extreme social anxiety before and the thing that helped me get through it was dancing and photography. Because I’ve finally found a place where I felt I belonged, I asked for my parents to emancipate me, so they could move to do their job stuff and I …well …I could chase after my own dreams. I’m a student of Hanlim Multi Art School, as you may see, and I’m enrolled in the Practical Dance Department. I transferred to it during my second year of high school when I finally decided to really pursue dancing. You’ll probably find me in Gangnam or near Hanlim, if I’m not wearing my uniform you might spot me wearing a tutu - but I’m really friendly so don’t be afraid to approach me!”

• • •“I used to think that I had no inspirations whatsoever. Nothing really made me excited before. I always knew that I shouldn’t get excited because in two years, I would be gone from that country.But now…"she bites her lips and stares into the camera, nervous? Sure. But it’s almost like an affirmation for her at this point.“I want to be an idol. I know you receive tapes like these every effin’ day, but I don’t think that at this point I can be anything else. I feel alive when I’m on the stage. I’m not a natural talented person, I wasn’t born with talent, but I am a hard worker and I can improve…if you let me grow, I’ll be a effin’ skyscraper.I promise”.
