Im good to go.
The reason it popped is because I was on antibiotics, so its all taken care of.
Shes gone!All gone!
Its all behind us!
That cyst is now iconic, and the memes are everywhere.
Shes your cyster, ayo cyst… Ive seen all kinds of memes.
Ive seen people putting it on Naomis memes fromAll-Stars 4and writing Club Ninety-cyst!
Its taking on its own life form, so I dont think I can put a name on it.
Well, I was thinking Cystina!Cystina!
They were just talking about how I was having a rough week….
When youre in the bottom two, its survival mode and you have to explain yourself.
[Laughs] I wassuperin the zone.
I was very confident about what I was making!
I wasnt worried one bit!
No one could change my mind.
Youre also under a time restriction, and I didnt feel like I needed to switch gears.
I felt like,is she just trying to give me a hard time?
I wasnt thinking about what she was saying; I was only thinking about what I wanted to do.
You said that you did that dress because you didnt have to cinch or wear padding.
Some people read that as taking a lazy approach to the first challenge.
Right when I saw the tools I started sketching a Korean Hanbok, which has that silhouette.
Do you stand by this look?
[Laughs] It wasverypolarizing.
A lot of people didnt like it because they didnt understand the silhouette.
Im proud of myself!
I love that with each of your looks, you incorporated something representing your heritage.
Have you always embraced your heritage or was it a process?
When I moved to America I lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa before I moved to Rockford, Illinois.
I never lived in a place where there were a lot of Asians to begin with.
Every few years theres a K-Pop group making it in the American industry.
But we need more consistency.
We dont need a K-Pop group to come to Americaonlyonce in a while.
People are starting to take interest in Korean culture, too.
Theres more to Korean culture than just pop music.
I do love good K-Pop though!
I remember when BoA did her English album in 2009.Rest in peace!
[Laughs]
I love that album, though!
I still listen to it.Me too, I love that one!
Oh, one last question before I forget: You were thirsting for Scarlet Envy in this episode.
Has anything happened between you two?Nothing has happened between Scarlet and I.
The way she talks, shesveryflirty, so we just joke around.
But I think shes a top, so I dont think anythings going to happen!
