Todd: So, Jeyong, you like to go to night clubs. When you go to a night club, what do kids wear these days? Like what makes you look cool in a night club or how should you dress?
Jeyong: These days being sexy is what kids prefer, and by saying sexy, wearing a tank top, and a top that shows a lot of your skin.
Todd: OK, a lot of skin. So tank tops. What about a guy? What would a guy wear for a shirt?
Jeyong: A guy would be wearing casual hip-hop pants, and maybe a polo shirt.
Todd: A polo shirt.
Jeyong: Or a top.
Todd: Like just a t-shirt.
Jeyong: T-shirt.
Todd: OK, now for a, would a girl wear hip-hop pants?
Jeyong: No, girls wear also sexy clothes, maybe short skirts or comfortable jeans with high heels.
Todd: High heels! Now aren't high heels hard to dance in?
Jeyong: They are actually, but then it looks better with high heels on. They look taller.
Todd: OK, what do the guys wear? Obviously, they don't wear high heels.
Jeyong: No. Guys wear sneakers.
Todd: Ah, sneakers. OK. Now, do you wear any time of jewelry or anything? Do you wear necklaces or?
Jeyong: I personally don't wear a necklace but earrings. Big hoops. Silver ones. Those look really pretty at the clubs because it kind of shines, and make-up is really important, too.
Todd: Really! OK.
Jeyong: Like for eyelashes, you want to have a really strong look for your eyes, and maybe lip-gloss, would look good on too.
Todd: Now, do the men wear make-up these days?
Jeyong: No, but then perfume would be a nice thing to put on guys.
Todd: OK. Now you said you want to look sexy, right, but you're 19, so when you go to the night club, can you leave your house looking like that, or is that something you have to hide from your parents?
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.
Todd: Ah, that's good, you have very supportive parents. OK, well thanks.
