1. Do you have any words of encouragement for BINI who now has international fans?

Agnez Mo: Yes, in my opinion... I think there isn't one specific piece of advice that would be enough. Because clearly, every artist has a different journey. Like, they also have to experience it themselves. But, umm... Never listen to what the naysayers say. Don't listen to negative comments, because there will always be some. When you first start, there will be many people who support you. But when you are at the top, there will be many people trying to bring you down. Because that's just how it is. Unfortunately, people can sometimes be very cruel. But you have to believe that there is a reason why you are in this position. You have to stop questioning yourself. Because in the end, this is your life. This is not like a musical journey, this is not just a career. This is your persona. This is your life. So in my opinion, the most important thing is to stay true to yourself. And also to listen to what your heart says. And I think that should be a guide for anything you do in life. There has to be something in your heart that tells you, 'Okay, this is the right thing to do'. And he said, 'Hey Ag, you have to die empty.' I said, 'What do you mean die empty?' Even though I actually knew what he meant, I wanted him to elaborate. So he said, 'You know your talent is not just for you. You can't be selfish.' 'Your talent is for you and others. So don't hoard your talent. Don't hoard your art, don't hoard your music.' And I think as an artist, especially one who has experience. There are a lot of expectations you put on yourself. Like thinking, 'Oh, maybe this isn't that great. It seems like this isn't better than before.' But I think this is what hinders us from growing. Always thinking that we have to always deliver 10 out of 10. Not really. Sometimes your new song is an 8 out of 10. Sometimes it's 5 out of 10. But, who cares? This is your life. This is your note, this is your journey. So if someone says 'Ah, this is just 5 out of 10' but you feel it's 10 out of 10. Then it is 10 out of 10. So in my opinion, that's a little bit that I can share with you. Hopefully, that can help you when you're in that position.

BINI: Thank you!
