10 INTERVIEW We asked Daon

Q. K-POP terms are so confusing!

I didn't know what “all-fan” meant at first either! The archive's “Glossary” has the meanings and example sentences. Let's learn them one by one together!

Q. What's the best part of being the maknae?

The unnies take care of everything for me! But since I'm the maknae, vlog editing is my job.

Q. How does it feel to have your birthday on Liberation Day?

The whole country has the day off, so all my friends come! And seeing the Taegukgi makes me feel proud for no reason.
