託德：好。你說過你希望看起來很性感，不過你只有19歲，你能穿着那樣性感的衣服離開家嗎，還是你會瞞着你的父母？

Jeyong: First, of all I don't go to night clubs that often because I'm not a party-party girl, but then I like dancing so I only went to club once when I was in Korea and I actually told my parents the truth that I am going to a party at a club so it was alright for me to wear sexy clothes and then leave home.

在英：首先，我不是經常去夜店，因爲我並不是派對女孩，不過我喜歡跳舞，我在韓國只去過一次夜店，我如實告訴了我的父母，我要去俱樂部參加一個派對，所以穿着性感的衣服離開家沒什麼問題。

Todd: Ah, that's good, you have very supportive parents. OK, well thanks.

託德：這很好，你擁有支持你的父母。好，謝謝你。
