Where are you currently working?
I am working at the Korean National Ballet Company from 2016 to the present.
What do you enjoy most about your "Ballerina life"?
It is pleasant to be able to express different roles in the life of a dancer.
Do you have any rituals in your daily life?
I take care to eat well and have a good night's sleep without skipping meals.
Can you tell us about a special occasion for you during your dancing career? What emotions did you experience? How did you prepare for it?
A week before the performance, the main cast was suddenly changed and I was cast in a new role. I only had three days to prepare! That's an incredible memory for me.
What are your thoughts about the DellaLo' leotards you've chosen? Would you recommend them, and for what occasions?
DellaLo‘s design is very beautiful and rare. The fit is also comfortable, so I can have a confident day.
A special message to all Hyunhee fans:
Dance with joy! 🤍
Even though there may be times when you feel difficult and want to give up, if you keep going and overcome these moments, a beautiful story will develop that is uniquely yours.
Your passion will inspire other dancers with dreams and hopes, and light the way for them.
I’m always cheering for you 💕
