you see the realities of balancing work , school , life , relationships, mental health and schedules.
Yoona: let me read some of the headlines, "Diamond Foundation to debut tonight", "Diamond's Foundation set to take the stage".
me: the press release went out a few hours ago , right?
yoona: yeah. Blackpink , Itzy, TXT, Seventeen and your international guests have all arrived by now and are preparing for the event.
me: have my parents show up?
yoona doesn't respond.
yoona: the team have arrived to get you ready.
i nod as i enter the living room with her.
by around 5pm i was fully dressed and styled. my second outfit was prepared and put into another car , headed to the destination.
[the dress is from Vivienne Westwood Made to order Bridal Collection 2021]

i spent an hour doing a photoshoot and then recording a video before leaving.
i exited the car and stepped onto the red carpet. flashes everywhere. i spent twenty minutes having photos taken and doing red carpet interviews. i was finally at my last one , with Vogue.
interviewer: we have seen many people go past today and enter the building , what was your though process behind choosing who will be a guest?
me: my first choices were my friends. they received invites first. then i chose people who i had good relations with and i believe to have a good heart. then i invited my favourite people in the industry, who i thought were revolutionising it as we see it today. you know , we have a variety of designers here for the formal dinner and auction. and obviously all of the Hybe artists are here.
interviewer: it is fair to say that the top people in the fashion , music and art world are here today. being the last to arrive , is there anyone you are particularly excited to see?
me: the first think i will be looking for is a glass of water i feel so dehydrated, and then perhaps some of my friends who i haven't seen in a very long time.
interviewer: what should we expect from the after party? and is this what you will be wearing?
me: well , unfortunately not a lot. the organising team behind this made sure they won't be any technology and only a select few are invited.no this is not what i will be wearing to the after party , because i will definitely trip up. i will come back out to show you my outfit before the party [i smiled at her] But , the real focus should be on the proceeds of the auction and what the Diamond Foundation truly stands for!
interviewer: what is the focus of the Diamond Foundation?
me: the Foundation is focused around the arts. Whether that is Music , fashion , design , dance , art itself - for with no art there is no life... life without art is not living , it's just surviving... you know what i mean? i have spent about a year planning this and getting it all to happen and making sure its future will be safe and the proceeds will go to where it actually belongs.
