Influences on accent: Busan dialect is distinct and people will hear it as she speaks. She is sad that her dialect has changed slightly, more "weak", since living in Seoul. Didn't actively try to change her accent. Defines Busan dialect being known for its fluctuations - high and low pitches, thinks Seoul accent sounds soft.
