Red Velvet's Joy on Small Joys, Sleep, Vintage Cameras, and Trading Places with Wendy
理科太太 Li Ke Tai Tai
In this short sponsored interview, Joy of Red Velvet sits down with a host who introduces the channel as "Li Ke Tai Tai" to talk about what makes her happy, how she looks after her health, why she agreed to represent the supplement brand Better Bio, and which bandmate she would swap lives with for a day. The host says they watched Joy shoot an advertisement earlier and felt the brand had "found the right person," describing her as bright, beautiful, and energetic.
From INFP to INFJ
The host opens with MBTI as an icebreaker, saying they had seen online that Joy is an INFJ. Joy confirms it and adds that her result has changed. She used to test as INFP, but recently gets INFJ. She attributes this to getting older and feeling more responsible for her work. The translated subtitle then says she is "planning to reduce the number of changes," which seems to mean she wants to be more consistent or structured, though the exact meaning is unclear from the transcript.
Happiness in Small Things
Picking up on the "F" (Feeling) in her type, the host asks what makes her happy. Joy says she finds happiness in small things, such as waking up to nice weather or running into fans on her way to a recording. Seeing fans "full of love" in her everyday life makes her happy, she says. Asked about anything happy that happened recently, she answers that this conversation with the host counts.
Energy, Skin, and Supplements
The host says they were surprised by how energetic Joy was while dancing on set, and asks how she keeps up her looks and energy. Joy says she feels better when she eats food that is good for her body and works out. She also says she has been taking a lot of supplements, including ones the host sent her earlier, and that she thinks they are really effective.
On her skin, which the host describes as "shining" up close, Joy lists drinking plenty of water and wearing sunscreen. She calls taking vitamin C and lactic acid bacteria (probiotics) the most important part of her routine.
A Night Owl Who Struggles to Sleep
The host raises sleep as part of beauty and asks whether she is a morning person or a night owl. Joy says she is a night owl. She sleeps a lot in the morning and has trouble falling asleep at night. She says that after taking "The Astronaut Vitamins" the host gave her, she slept very well, and she thanks them. The host adds that they use the product themselves, including for jet lag when traveling.
Asked what she does on nights she really can't sleep, Joy lists "digging" for music that suits her taste, watching movies, and driving. She jokes that she basically does everything.
Wanting to Return to Taipei
Joy recalls visiting Taipei with the other members a few years ago for a schedule. It was so packed that she had no time to enjoy the city, and she says she would like to go back. Near the end, the host asks what she would like to eat when she comes. Joy names Taipei's famous beef noodles and mango shaved ice, and the host promises to take care of it.
Why She Became Better Bio's Spokesperson
The host says these last questions come from their team. The first is why Joy agreed to become a spokesperson for Better Bio. Joy says she had a good impression from the start because the host looked healthy "inside out." She has tried many Korean supplements and was curious how this one would compare. She says her body has felt better since she started taking it regularly, and that this is why she decided to promote it.
A Day Off and a Day as Wendy
Asked what she would do with an unexpected day off, Joy says she would stay home and spend happy time with her puppy.
Asked which Red Velvet member she would trade places with for a day, Joy picks Wendy. Her reason is that Wendy takes care of her health as much as Joy does and is very diligent, so Joy would like to spend a day following Wendy's daily routine.
The Appeal of Blurry, Retro Images
The host mentions that Joy often posts selfies on Instagram taken with a small DV camcorder. They ask whether she uses it because it works well or because she likes the retro feel. Joy says she has long liked the 1990s and 2000s. She notes that vintage digital cameras and camcorders are now very popular in Korea. Modern devices show everything clearly, she says, but the old blurry images carry an atmosphere you can feel, and she thinks young people today are drawn to that too. The host replies that it makes her look like an artist.
The interview ends with the host saying they enjoyed talking with Joy and look forward to seeing her in Taipei.
What makes you feel happy?
I get happiness from small things. When I wake up in the morning and the weather is so nice, or when I meet my fans on my way to the recording. When I see my fans full of love in my daily life, I feel happy.
Hi, how are you guys doing today? Welcome to Li Ke Tai Tai. Next to me is Joy from Red Velvet.
Hi, I'm Joy from Red Velvet.
She is very bright, beautiful and energetic. I saw her shooting an advertisement. I think we found the right person. Let's start our interview.
Recently, I found that I need to start a relaxing chat. It seems that I can start with everyone's MBTI. I saw your MBTI on the Internet. It seems to be INFJ. Is it correct?
Yes, my MBTI is INFJ.
I don't have any research on MBTI. I know that F stands for Feeling. J stands for Judging. Do you think it's similar?
Yes, I used to have INFP, but recently, I have INFJ. I think I'm getting older, and I feel more responsible for my work. So I think I'm planning to reduce the number of changes.
You have F on your MBTI. What makes you happy?
I get happiness from small things. When I wake up in the morning and the weather is so nice, or when I meet my fans on my way to the recording. I feel happy when I see my fans full of love in my daily life.
Do you have anything happy to share recently?
I think I'm happy to have a chat with you.
Thank you. I saw you dancing on the spot. It's really beautiful and energetic. I was surprised. I want to know how you maintain your beauty and energy.
I think I feel better when I eat something good for my body and work out. I'm trying to eat a lot of supplements. You sent me a lot of supplements last time, so I've been eating a lot of supplements. I think it's really effective.
I saw your face so close. It's really shining. I want to know how you maintain your skin so well.
First of all, I try to drink a lot of water, and I try to apply sunscreen. Most importantly, I take vitamin C and lactic acid bacteria.
I think sleeping is also related to beauty. Have you heard that people are divided into morning birds and night owls?
Yes, I've heard that. It's important to sleep a lot, but I'm a night owl. I sleep a lot in the morning, and I have trouble sleeping at night. I took The Astronaut Vitamins you gave me recently. I fell asleep very well, so I'm really grateful.
Thank you for your love for our products. I also like to do a lot of things, but what do you do when you really can't sleep?
I like to dig music. I like to find music that suits my taste, watch movies, drive. I think I do everything.
That's great. The Astronaut Vitamins also work for me. When I travel, I will also take The Astronaut Vitamins when I meet the time difference. Do you have any plans for your next trip? I believe you like to travel.
A few years ago, we went to Taipei with the members for a schedule. At that time, we had a tight schedule in Taipei. I didn't have time to enjoy it. If I have a chance, I want to go to Taipei again.
We will see you again. See you in Taipei.
The last few questions are questions that I and my team are very curious about. The first one is: What made you want to be a spokesperson for Better Bio?
First of all, you are so beautiful. You look healthy inside out, so I had a good impression right from the start. Although I tried a lot of Korean supplements, I was wondering how it would be different from Korean nutritional supplements. And I feel like my body is getting better because I eat regularly. So I decided to promote this product to the world.
First of all, you are also a beautiful person.
Thank you.
You will have a lot of shooting later. I'd like to thank you in advance. When you are busy working, what will you do if tomorrow you have a day off?
When I have a day off, I have a cute puppy at home. I want to spend a happy time with it at home.
That's great. If you can exchange one day with any member of Red Velvet, who would you choose?
I want to choose Wendy. She takes care of her health as well as I do, and she is very diligent. So I want to live a day as Wendy's daily routine.
I noticed that you often take a small DV on your Instagram and take selfies. Is it good to use, or do you prefer this retro feeling?
I used to like the '90s and 2000s. And now in Korea, vintage digital cameras and vintage camcorders are very popular. Now you can see everything clearly, but in the old days, the atmosphere that you can feel from the blurry image. Not only me, I think it's popular with young people these days.
It feels like an artist.
Thank you.
We will meet again in Taipei next time. Is there any food you want to eat? We can prepare it for you.
I really want to eat the famous beef noodles and mango shaved ice in Taipei.
No problem, leave it to us.
Thank you.
I feel very happy to chat with Joy. I also look forward to seeing her in Taipei. That's all for today. If you like my video, please like, comment, and share. If you haven't subscribed yet, please subscribe. See you next time, bye.
