Girl's Day Hyeri, "'The Real Man'... I Cried While Watching It" [Interview]

Girl group Girl's Day's member Hyeri was the star of last weekend. As the last episode of MBC entertainment program "The Real Man" female soldier version was aired, Hyeri showed off her cuteness as the youngest member while enduring through all the hard training without a word.

Her cuteness that she showed to the squad leader as she was saying bye melted away not only the squad leader but all the viewers.

Viewers did not forget to compliment Hyeri on her cute and bright personality as the special episodes finished. But Hyeri revealed that she could not watch it without tears.

She said, "There's a chatroom with all the girls who went to the boot camp. Everyone said they cried while watching it. I did too. I think when we think back on how hard it was, we just keep crying. I watched it right before a schedule and all of my makeup erased. Girl's Day members? They all cried too. They told me I did well. They asked how I pulled through."

Hyeri revealed that she thought they'd go easy even until the moment she was leaving for the training. But that was all a mistake. Within one hour of getting there, Hyeri thought to herself, "I shouldn't have come." The first day was endurable but starting from the second day her muscles were sore, making the training even harder.

She said, "On air, only parts of our days come out. But my body was aching so much to the point I couldn't move my body. It looked fine on TV but all of us went to the health center. I think the staff was determined to make it look real. We were trained non-stop, I remember it all. TV shows only a tiny portion of it. When I came back and saw my manager, I bawled."

She continued, "During the training, I thought 'I want to live', not 'I want to die'. I've never thought that before but it felt like I was there for such a long time. They yelled at us a lot too."

There was not even a moment for the girls to think about the cameras being there. Hyeri said, "When you're sensitive, you can't sleep well or eat well. But I slept well and ate well. I'm the type to eat more if I'm tired. I have to refill my energy. I didn't even realize the camera was filming me so I was shocked when I saw myself in the TV."

She lastly added, "We all tried really hard. Not just me, but everyone who went on the show. I hope you enjoy it. Please don't judge and just see us as who we are. And please keep showing the show a lot of love. After coming back, I have a different view on soldiers now. I only did 4 days but soldiers have to do that for 2 years. That's crazy. They're so awesome."
