I am honored to be able to witness the opening of this new store. I look forward to working with you all." After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the talk session began.
Park Seo Jun, who loves Lemon, said, "I usually wear it when I'm working out, like a uniform. They don't sell Lemon shoes in Korea yet.
I don't have a lot of shoes, so I thought it was very convenient to receive them this time," Katayose said, "I also exercise on a daily basis, so of course I exercise in the scenes, but I also wear them in the studio where I go to exercise.
I think it's easy to wear on a daily basis because it's comfortable to wear and the design fits in with everyday life. I think it can be used in a variety of situations, such as when going to work or taking a walk with my family.
When asked about how it felt to wear, Katayose commented, "It's very comfortable, and the jacket is very warm, so I think it's perfect for this winter."
After seeing the tying, Park Seo Jun commented, "Katayose-san is dressed so coolly in front of so many people, but I'm so comfortable that I feel like I'm just wearing pajamas.
I feel a bit embarrassed (laughs). But it's so comfortable," he said with a smile. Katayose revealed that he is a big fan of the TV series "Itaewon Class" and was looking forward to seeing the lead actor Park Seo Jun.
When asked about his impressions before the screening, he said, "I was deeply moved by the work. I also act in plays, so I respect him as a senior actor.
To be honest, I can't really believe that I'm actually having a talk session with the two of them like this," he said, revealing his feelings.
Lululemon is scheduled to open on December 14th. When asked about his impressions of the Shibuya store, Park Seo Jun said, "Walking around the streets of Shibuya,
I was looking at it thinking, "Lululemon is going to open here," and it's very moving to be able to visit the place I saw then. I often visit the Korean store, so
However, I hope that many people will visit our Shibuya store, experience our wonderful products, and make good memories."
When asked about his memories of Shibuya and places he would like to visit, Park Seo Jun hesitated for a moment and replied, "Shibuya?"
He also made the reporters laugh with his nice comment, "Oh, it's Lululemon (laughs)." When the host asked Katayose what spot he would like to recommend to Park Seo Jun, he replied, "I'm going to go to another place now.
It's hard to say where it is (laughs). Shibuya is also home to Daikanyama and Omotesando, so there are a lot of restaurants in those areas, so I think
I love eating and drinking, so there are a lot of yakiniku, sushi, and izakaya-style restaurants, so I hope you'll go to those places."
When asked which place in Shibuya he would like to go to with Katayose, Park Seo Jun replied, "The Lululemon store (lol)," drawing laughter.
Regarding the Lululemon store opening at Shibuya Scramble Crossing, Katayose said,
"I felt that Lululemon had opened in a symbolic location. I had the opportunity to see inside the store and I feel that Lululemon will become a part of many people's daily lives.
I think there are a lot of people meeting in Shibuya, but I feel like new meetings at Lululemon will be on the rise."
When asked what kind of training he does on a regular basis, Katayose replied, "I do yoga and deepen my breathing. I take the time to do that. When I go around the country to perform live,
Even if I'm not at work, I do yoga at the hotel before heading to the venue. I also run every day," Park Seo Jun said, "Recently, in Korea, I'm not sure when it started, but
Running is very popular these days. I also run a lot to keep fit. I used to run for short periods, but now I run for long periods.
I also try to be mindful of my posture while I'm running. I also do weight training on a daily basis, and I often wear Lululemon when I run.
"These shoes are great for running," he said. Lululemon aims to promote physical, mental and social well-being.
Speaking of the brand, when asked about moments in daily life when he feels well-being, Park Seo Jun replied, "What I've been feeling lately is that mental health comes from being physically healthy.
So I feel that it is similar to the direction that Lululemon is pursuing. If you feel tired, lonely, or depressed in your daily life, try to move your body.
I think it's fine. By taking the time to sweat, you will also be mentally healthier. I believe that you can become healthy by moving your body first, and that's what I want to convey."
When asked about this, Katayose replied, "I really empathize with what you just said and think it's a wonderful way of thinking. There are many different answers to well-being, and I feel it's not easy. Personally, I think it's something that is important in everyday life.
I think it's very important not to take those moments for granted, and not to miss even the smallest of things. Among those, there are moments when I feel that Lululemon clothes are comfortable to wear.
I realized it's really important to be able to cherish the little things that are taken for granted, like feeling happy when I'm exercising or thinking that the weather is nice."
As Christmas approaches, they are asked about their ideal way to spend Christmas. Park Seo Jun answered, "Ultimately, I think the most ideal thing is to spend Christmas with family and loved ones.
" I think you're right. Our job involves live performances, so being able to connect with the people who support us through these performances is also a part of Christmas.
I think it's going to be a highlight of the season, and I'm looking forward to it, so I hope I can have that kind of time in the future." Lululemon also has items that can be used as holiday gifts, so
When asked who he would like to give a present to, Katayose replied, "There are members who exercise more than me, and some who are really in shape, so I would like to give a present to a member of GENERATIONS.
I would love to send a Christmas gift to the bar," and Park Seo Jun said, "For me, Lululemon is comfortable, practical clothing. I like the clothes I'm wearing now.
From my experience, there are more women than men at Lululemon. So, we have a lot of clothes that are easy to wear for men, so I would like men to visit as well.
"I personally recommend the backpack, so I hope you'll use it," he said. The annual end-of-year announcement of the character that will represent the year was also made. Katayose chose "New"
He said, "This year was the year that we became a new generation, and it was also the year that we took on new challenges. It was a new start, and
"The year has made us realize that there are still many things we have not yet accomplished, so we chose the character 'new'," he explained.
Park Seo Jun's name is the Chinese character for "again." He said, "I think this past year has been a year of looking back on my career so far. I've spent my time like that, and I want to look back on my career from now on.
It made me want to work hard. I chose this character because I want to approach everything with a new mindset from next year onwards."
Finally, Katayose said, "I am very honored and speechless to have the opportunity to speak with such a wonderful man at such a wonderful opening event.
It seems like it will be a good way to end my career. I want to continue to work hard and not be satisfied with my experience. I hope that many people will visit the Lululemon Shibuya store.
Thank you," and Park Seo Jun replied, "Thank you for your kind words. I hope this opportunity will continue and we will have many more opportunities to meet in the future.
I think so. It's the end of the year, but it's very cold in Korea, so I think it's important to prepare well for the cold. I hope you have a warm New Year's holiday with your family. And,
Thank you for inviting me to a place like this today."
