The MCs jokingly asked her how many bottles of Chinese liquor she could handle, as Chinese alcohol is known to be quite strong. She evasively replied that she enjoyed drinking wine.

“Get out of here,” Park Myungsoo told her. “You look like you can handle a few bottles of Chinese liquor and chase it with a bowl of JJamppong.” Finally, Victoria revealed that when they go out for company dinners, she is the only one that can handle her alcohol.

Although she does drink, she doesn’t know exactly how much. She explained although she always drinks a fair amount, it’s hard for her to get drunk.

She continued to talk about a heartwarming episode with KARA's Gyuri, who is a close friend and also shares the same Japanese language teacher, softening the tension at the event. Eunjug recounted, "Gyuri told us to not be nervous and to just concentrate on singing our best. Also, she told us to please work hard on learning the Japanese language".

When asked what they will like to challenge in Japan besides the music scene, Jiyeon (18) replied reliably, "Acting, variety shows and we'll work hard on everything!". As for the question of their favourite celebrities, each member was quick to answer. To Eunjung who quoted Takenouchi Yutaka as her favourite celebrity, Soyeon (23) who quoted Mukai Osamu and Oguri Jun and Boram (25) who quoted Miyazaki Aoi, Hyomin (22) the individualistic leader who was watching the scene quipped with a smiled, "It's rather chaotic but all 7 of us actually get along really well".

Our interviewers posed a question to the group, who is well-known to make decisions through a game of "Rock paper scissors", asking them if they knew that the Japanese group AKB48 decides who will take centre stage for their performances through the same game.
