“In my free time, I like to sew and make accessories. I mainly make bows, neckties, and bowties. I enjoy being creative and making things like journaling and stickers. In addition, I like to watch Korean and Chinese dramas when I have free time. My favorite drama is Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung! I also like to listen to music as well. My favorite artist is a group called Tomorrow by Together.”
