"In this field, people have 2000-3000 numbers saved in their phones. I'm also in this field. Including people from my agency, my family, friends, and everyone, I have about 120 people saved. I want to get to know people, but I don't have a chance to do that. Because it's just us during the shoot, we are not joined by anyone else. I don't enjoy going out."
