First, Hwiseo was asked how she feels about joining H1-KEY as a new member. The rookie idol answered, "It feels new and overwhelming because it's like I have a good older sister and younger brother. I spent almost half of my life practicing, and there were many times when my debut was canceled."
She continued, "But because I didn't give up and worked hard, I feel like my dream has finally come true, so I want to say to myself, 'You worked hard.' And I want to thank everyone, including my family, who patiently waited for my debut."
The interviewer then asked Hwiseo, "What was your first impression of each of the H1-KEY members?" to which she replied, "Unnie Seoi was like a really pretty princess doll. She is easygoing, neat, and organized."

She added, "Unnie Riina stood out with her white and clear skin. I want to thank her for talking to me a lot so that I can adjust quickly. The youngest, Yel, is so tall. Although she is shy, she took care of me a lot, and since she liked my style, such as my clothes and bags, we were able to communicate well."
In the middle of the interview, H1-KEY Hwiseo was asked to name her role model, and she revealed that it's (G)I-DLE member Jeon Soyeon. She explained, "She is an all-rounder who has the ability to write lyrics, compose, and produce. Also, I want to become an artist like her who resonates with the public."
With (G)I-DLE Soyeon's impeccable and versatile talent, which she has been showcasing since her debut, it's no wonder why Hwiseo looks up to her.
