[REVISITED INTERVIEW] 110728 MBLAQ in ODINA Vol.6 Part 1,2,3

PART 1

Unfortunately it’s raining today again. Speaking of MBLAQ, it often rains on the day of your event or interview. How much is the “rain man* degree” of all of you?
Seungho (laugh)
G.O About 90%.Among all of you who summons the rain the most?
Mir All members do.
Joon There isn’t anyone specific.
Seungho It’s more related to the size of the event than who. The larger the stage, the higher the probability of rain (laugh).
G.O It was like that at Lazona Kawasaki, and also in Korea at the time of big events like Dream Concert it generally rains.

Your debut song “Your Luv” shone at the 1st place of Oricon daily chart. Was that expected?
Seungho It couldn’t be imagined.

So what rank did you expect?
Seungho We always thought that it would be nice if we got 1st place. As that came true we were happy.
Cheondung We are all like that, too!
G.O Me, too!

We hope that you will get 1st place with your second and third single as well.
Mir Well, we hope for that, too, and we’re also expecting that it might be so. Hahaha! (laugh)

Are you under pressure?
Seungho People who hear the song that we think is good also think it’s a good song. We are preparing to show good things, so rather than pressure the feeling of wanting to show a good stage earlier comes first.

When compared to your songs in Korea, the dance of “Your Luv” is a gentleman style dance like a chic-dol (chic idol) in real life.
Seungho A lot of our title songs in Korea have a strong image, and while we should revive that feeling, our choreography has also become intense. However, “Your Luv” is a cheerful love song, so though it has impact it’s become a light dance.

Do you want to try music and dance that propose more strength in Japan as well?
G.O Yes. From now on we will be showing our change bit by bit, but no matter what kind of stage we are going to have, we are not concerned with the degree of difficulty of the dance, and there’s no change in doing our best.

What is MBLAQ’s strong point that no one but only you yourselves have?
Seungho Powerful performance with chicness!

Now that you have dominated the 1st place of Oricon, it seems that you are also irresistible in the world of J-POP. If you have to name a rival?
G.O Everyone is our rival, since all artists are working as hard as they can.
Seungho Everyone has his strong and weak points, so we are learning a lot from different people. Also, while we are monitoring ourselves we are improving as well, so like what G.O said everyone is our rival.

Being both good at variety and good-looking is MBLAQ’s charm. They are called chic-dols on stage and popular as gag-dols (comical style idols) if offstage, However, how do they truly look like in private? Same as their character, their everyday wear is also in gag style? When we threw a talk about fashion to the 5, this has again become an interesting unfoldment.

I enjoyed watching variety program “Sesame Player.” I think the secret of making it funny is its atmosphere that is free like ab-lib. Did you also jointly contribute your own ideas?
Seungho As for the parts like bathroom talk, we honestly answer the questions that were prepared. Excluding that, all the things that we do like flying, jumping and playing games by us only during the free time has no script.

Do you play the games that you play in the program at your dorm also?
All Ahahahahaha (laugh). No, we don’t!
Seungho Those are the games that were intentionally prepared for the program, so we don’t play them in daily life.

Wasn’t there any game you have thought of trying to play at your dorm also because it was fun?
G.O (replies immediately) No!
Joon As there are too many things we have to do when the filming is over, we also don’t have time to play games. For this reason, though it was a filming, we enjoyed the games earnestly. We don’t have any time to play.

There are also fart bombs for the penalty in the bathroom talk.
Joon That’s fun, too.
G.O Well, the smell is a bit strong, though.

Cheondung, you have no reaction to the fart bombs, right?
Cheondung I think I’m the type that is insensitive to smell. However, I’ve been unable to stand the smell of public washroom before.

To the other members how strong is it?
Joon I get a headache right away, and when I come out from the bathroom I get the smell on my clothes.

Your humor in variety is making the impression of “MBLAQ = Gag-dols” strong. However, is there a person who thinks, “Actually I’m not a gag-dol!”?
Cheondung I don’t even have one key element of gag-dol in me. Because the other 4 have built up the gag-dol image, even I’m being seen as that…… but to gags I don’t have any intense feeling or obsession, and I lack in the talent of entertaining people. It seems like I’m also thought to be funny when I’m together with the members. Having said that, it’s not that I’m a 100% chic-dol also…… if to say which, maybe chic-dol.

How about the other members? What is the percentage of gag-dol and chic-dol in yourself?
Mir As for me chic-dol is 90%. Everyone has a misunderstanding of me being very childish, thoughtless, silly and so on. However, when compared to other kids I settled down relatively early, because I only make fun of people whom I’m close to. I’m quite a cautious person.
Joon With gag being 60% chic is 40%. It seems that one becomes like that when doing entertainment activities for a long time.
Seungho We are called gag-dols, but we are just showing our undisguised form as it is. Don’t entertainers, position-wise, do things like concealing their daily life? However, we don’t want to do that. As it’s natural to show our chic look on stage, I feel that not showing our usual selves even offstage is like a deceit because we don’t want to lie. Therefore the chic side on stage is half, and the natural gag side besides that is half.
G.O As what Seungho said, we’re just showing our natural selves. We amuse ourselves with that. In my case chic-dol is 70% and gag-dol is about 30%.

For your fashion on stage you also have chic black as the basis. How about your fashion in private?
Seungho We are often asked, “Since you are MBLAQ do you wear black clothes only?” Certainly even in private I have a lot of black clothes. Ordinarily I live gloo~mily (laugh).

Shall we try commenting on each other’s everyday fashion here? The first one is Joon!
Seungho Joon is not the type that enjoys shopping, I suppose. He rarely goes out to buy clothes. He’s the type that dresses well in his own style with the clothes on hand.
G.O That’s right. Joon skillfully wears clothes that fit himself.
Joon I almost never buy clothes for myself. Clothes from home and those that were bought for me are the majority.

The next is Seungho.
Joon First of all his jackets attract attention. And then he loves New Era’s caps. Hiphop style, isn’t it?
Does attracting attention mean showy?
Seungho No no, it doesn’t mean that. My jackets have an ordinarily simple feeling. I like wearing something on top, but in summer it’s different.

How about G.O?
Mir He wears clothes for self-satisfaction only.
All (Loud explosive laughter)
Mir To be able to satisfy himself. Therefore, in other words, it doesn’t mean that he likes brand name products……
All (Loud explosive laughter)
Joon That’s right. That expression is right on!
Mir So he dresses himself up…… in his own way.
G.O What are you talking about~!?
Mir His everyday wear is also 90% in black.
Joon Is it no doubt that 90% is brand name products (laugh)?
Seungho What that means is that with dressing more simply than I do he’s the type that adorns with accessories. He thinks that the body is also a piece of clothing and is exercising eagerly. His style has become good, and his dressing is becoming good even more.

In other words, you are doing body design?
G.O Yes, I’m doing that recently, because I’m aware of the fashion that fits me.

How about Cheondung?
G.O He has a lot of accessories and small articles somehow or other. No matter what kind of fashion it is, he can match that with his accessories that fit that, and completes (his look) in stylishness.

Does he even have a lot in his dorm room?
Joon He has exceedingly a lot.
Cheondung I don’t have that many, though……

So have the other members ever borrowed them?
G.O I steal them.
Joon That’s right. I steal them.
Cheondung That explains why they disappeared one by one.

Please list the best 3 of your favorite fashion items from your big collection.
Cheondung My sneakers, brand name shoes and the short pants that I last bought. These are my favorite right now. When I’m in Korea, I dress up stylishly even when I go to the convenience store.

What is fashion to you?
Cheondung Frankly, it’s my identity!

So the last one is Mir!
All He’s a beggar!

What does that mean?
Mir I absolutely don’t buy clothes for myself. In other words, I have no clothes.
Joon But when he buys clothes…… Well, let’s not talk about this.

Oh, what is it really?
Joon Ah, I was going to talk about it, but since Mir didn’t say anything bad about me (I’ll drop it).
Mir It’s ok, you know.
Joon I’m really saying it.
Cheondung Ok, ok.
Joon Even though he doesn’t buy clothes, he would do things like paying a huge amount of money for accessories or one ring……
All (Explosive laughter)
Cheondung And only brand name products at that.
Joon So he buys brand name products with clothes excluded.
Mir So far the highest price I’ve paid is, when excluding clothes, over tens of millions won……!? I’m kidding, just kidding.
G.O He loves brand name products, but he can’t manage them even if he bought them. When he’s used them once he just abandons them. As he’s also like that to his clothes, he’s the type that uses and then throws them away.
Mir The type that throws away brand name products?
Cheondung The thing is that Seungho hyung reuses them…… When he is walking at home he would pick them up one-by-one, and yet they are all brand-new.

Therefore Seungho wears Mir’s hand-me-downs?
Seungho They are not given to me as hand-me-downs. I’m managing them. It’s because I think other than using them and then throwing them away, using them properly is the courtesy to clothes .
G.O Courtesy to clothes? (laugh)
In other words, Seungho looks good in brand name clothes, too.
Mir Ahahaha, the conversation up to this point is all a joke, I tell you. As I haven’t found the (type of) fashion that fits me yet, I just can’t buy anything special.
Joon You can honestly say that you have no clothes, you know.
Mir Please buy me clothes (laugh).
Joon Jeez, even though it’s an interview he said, “Please buy me clothes”! He became a beggar all of a sudden (explosive laughter).
Cheondung Saying “I wear brand name products only” and “please buy me clothes” is kind of……

If we bring what you have said to a conclusion, you don’t have any clothes?
Mir I sure do, but they tell me, “Don’t wear them.”

“Don’t wear them”?
Mir Yes. “Don’t wear them.”
Cheondung Because he’s a terrorist.
Seungho He’s a fashion terrorist. For example, this happened before. Cheondung was unable to stand by any longer and re-coordinated the clothes that Mir picked by himself at the hotel. Then Mir totally became a different person.
G.O As all members’ taste of fashion is clear, Mir is, if anything, the type that has no interest in clothes themselves.
Mir If I wear brand name products, everyone thinks that I become stylish. But it looks like I have no fashion sense……

In the view of Mir who is such a fashion terrorist, who is the fashionista in MBLAQ?
Mir Cheondung! Because his sense is good, and also there are lots of good stuff in the clothes and accessories that he has.

How about the “airport fashion” that is in a boom recently? As you attract a lot of attention you don’t feel relieved, right?
Seungho I don’t particularly aware of it. There’s not much difference from usual.
G.O I want to look good and handsome.
Joon As for me the feeling of dressing nice is good, I suppose.
Cheondung Wearing comfortably is the point.
Mir As long as it suits me well!

*T/N: Rain man is a man whose presence seems to cause rain.

PART 2

The five members with five colors have great individuality in their fashion in private. Everyone of them must also differ in such point as where they are attracted to in girls. We straightly approached to that area that people care about as well.

How about ladies fashion? What kind of fashion and hair style do you prefer?
Seungho I think that the style of looking nice in simple clothing is good.
G.O Feminine style that fits that person.
Joon Fashion that is comfortable and looks like one can easily move in it.
Cheondung White t-shirt and jeans with curly hair.
Mir Hiphop style for me~

What is the girl’s gesture that surely stuns you?
Mir It’s when a delicate girl comes to talk to me now and then, but unfortunately I don’t even have much experience like that. Because I don’t have a lot of experience with girls …… I have a lot of female friends, but because they are only my friends, things like being stunned never happened to me.
Joon For me it’s the signs of shyness. If at the moment when our eyes meet she smiles at me shyly with embarrassment, my heart will beat fast.
Cheondung Maybe it’s when I get tricked. For example, things like poking me lightly while passing each other. I’m very ticklish. I will almost feel unpleasant even if I’m only about to be touched. Ah, this is more of being surprised than stunned, I suppose.

What kind of girl’s expression makes your heart throb?
Cheondung When she smiles at me even with no reason. Because we are chic-dols, our type is expected to be chic girls, or girls who don’t smile much, but I prefer girls who only smile at me.
Seungho A girl’s dancing appearance makes my heart throb. It doesn’t matter what kind of dance she’s dancing and is ok even if it’s a funny dance. I really feel the charm when a girl is dancing.

How do you find the female idols’ dance?
Seungho I don’t see that a lot. Though I said dancing, it’s a statement that limits to the girl whom I’m interested in persistently.
G.O It’s when she shows her weaknesses rather than her gestures. I like feminine people. (I like) girls who look like a girl no matter how anyone looks at it more than boyish people. There are things that guys seem to be able to do casually but are difficult for girls, right? For example, things like being unable to carry heavy things. I feel her femininity when it seems like she’s going to be broken somehow. I have a good impression of the type that is full of femininity.

So if all of you were girls, which member would you want to date?
Mir Hahaha…… If I have to pick one no matter what, I’ll pick G.O hyung. The reason of that is because he will give me nice presents. To girls he treats them really well and is very reliable and kind. However, (he’s like this) to his girlfriend only. Because Seungho hyung is indiffernt, Joon hyung seems to be possessive, and I haven’t seen Cheondung when he’s in love yet, after all if I dare to choose I’ll choose G.O hyung.
Cheondung As for me it’s “me,” because I’m more of a “good boy” than the other members. Though all of them are “good boys,” I’m slightly above them.
Joon Because as for Cheondong he himself is the best anyway (laugh). I thought he would answer that he wouldn’t date anyone or he would choose Mir, though.

How about you, Joon?
Joon If I’m forced to choose I’ll choose Cheondung. The reason is because he doesn’t have much love experience, I think he’s pure.
Seungho I can’t even imagine the assumption of this question. I get goosebumps thinking about it alone (laugh). However, if I dare to choose maybe I’ll choose Joon. The reason is that he’s always kind to girls, and he’s the type that can yield to girls.
G.O I wouldn’t date any of the members! It definitely doesn’t mean that I don’t like the members. In the 2 years after I’ve met the members a lot (of things) happened, I’m happy, and we know each other thoroughly now. Though when a guy and a girl start dating there are pleasures and happiness in getting to know each other, there were not (if I dated a member). They say that it’s not much fun in dating after knowing everything……

Then G.O is the type that falls in love at first sight?
G.O Yes, that’s right. I’m the type that falls in love at first sight and devotes myself to that person.

MBLAQ returned home with the crown of Oricon 1st place in their hands. After their comeback in the K-POP world, they aim at the universe. They set forth “the best performance in the universe” as the theme of their first solo concert in August, and the blaqies are planning a further scale-up this summer.

As your promotion in Japan that extended over about a month ended, you returned home at the end of May. On your way from the airport of Seoul to the city, when you were looking at the Han River what were you thinking of?
Seungho I was thinking about our next activities in Korea.
G.O I planned to work harder and harder from now on no matter I’m in Korea or Japan. There are no such things like I’ll give either country’s activities priority, and I’ll have to work hard in everything and grope for a way to advance further.
Joon I thought, “We ended our activities in Japan without any problems as well~”
Cheondung I became aware that “ah here is Korea.”
Mir I had a feeling of “I miss you, Han River~!” (laugh)

Besides your family, fans and staff, what was the thing that was waiting for MBLAQ?
Cheondung Our schedule. When we returned to Korea our schedule was tight (laugh).
Mir My mother’s cooking.

You dyed your hair black right after you went back. What is the reason of that?
G.O It’s our next album’s concept!
Joon That’s right. We dyed our hair black for our concept.
Mir I like black hair a lot, too.

Seungho in particular has a reputation of “looking young and cute” among fans.
Seungho At first I felt a bit uncomfortable, but now I like it a lot.
Cheondung But it’s because the originator of black hair is me (laugh).

How will your comeback in the K-POP world with black hair be?
Seungho An MBLAQ that is once again different from what we’ve been showing so far will be shown! Everyone, please anticipate!
Cheondung You will be able to meet the blaqies (laugh).

How about the new song?
G.O It will be a pop song that is pretty addictive.
Mir It’s a very good song, so now I only listen to that demo.

As your comeback is coming soon, who is feeling a little nervous?
Joon I’m feeling a bit nervous.
Mir For me it’s “quite (nervous).” I think everyone will be surprised at our new appearance, too!

It has been decided that you will hold your first solo concert “MEN IN MBLAQ” on August 20th. It seems like you will reveal “the best performance in the universe” then, but what is each member determined to do?
Seungho First of all I aim at a concert with high completeness.
G.O To work hard and do my best so that I myself can satisfy and feel a sense of accomplishment.
Joon I want to liven it up happily more than anything.
Mir It’s our first concert, so I’ll work hard to respond to everyone’s anticipation.
Cheondung And I’ll take advantage of this to have my solo debut? (laugh)

Since it’s called “the best in the universe,” you must also beat the aliens and extraterrestrials. By the way, do you believe that aliens exist?
Seungho U~m, I don’t.
G.O I don’t (laugh).
Joon I do (laugh), but I’ve never met one.
Cheondung Yes, I do. I saw one the other day, too (!?).
Mir I do!!!

From what you have seen so far, whose concert do you want to aim at?
All RAIN sunbaenim’s concert!

G.O, you are releasing your solo digital single “Even In My Dream,” right (releasing on July 4th)? If you are to give a catch copy* to this song by yourself (what is it)?
G.O For example…… Maybe “the feeling of a man who wants to be loved even in his dream.”

The other members heard this song and how was it?
Seungho He’s truly the heavenly voice G.O.
Joon It’s absolutely ama~zing.
Mir It’s the best!
Cheondung The lyrics have a bit of my idea in them, so it’s good (laugh).

After returning from the space, probably they will also be restarting their activities in Japan again in the near future. Seriously what is their next move in Japan?

At the high touch meeting of “Your Luv” you high touched a total of 36,500 people. I think it’s a tremendous number, but wasn’t it difficult?
Seungho I’m completely fine with it! But after it was over, all members went to bed right away.
Joon I didn’t become completely exhausted like I thought. I was fine.
G.O On the contrary I received energy from many people and became cheerful.
Cheondung I gained a bit of arm muscles (laugh).

How do you want to come into contact with your fans next time?
Seungho Of course an event that shows our performance would be nice.
G.O I want to have a fan event again! Our last event was fun.
Joon This time isn’t a sign meeting nice, too?
Mir It’s nice. Fansign meeting!
Cheondung If we can make some plan that’s like a surprise it seems to be interesting, right~

Cheondung, you were very good at the members’ portrait that was revealed at the fan event. Have you been always good at fine arts?
Cheondung Yes. I often drew dinosaurs when I was a kid.

When you are drawing the members, what is the point that is similar to a disfigurement?
Cheondung Hair style and body hair, I suppose (laugh).

Joon, you were selected as the model of “Kiss Republic” underwear and showed us your admirable physical beauty, right?
Mir Joon hyung’s muscles are really too incredible~ Even I who likes professional wrestling sees him, he looks just like a real professional wrestler (laugh).

Mir, if you become a model in a commercial in Japan, what kind of product is good?
Mir Ramen.

How about the other members?
Seungho Curry commercial! What amazed me after I’ve stayed in Japan for a while is that cutlet curry is too good. In Korea it’s more delicious to eat in the restaurant than the home delivery, but in Japan the home delivery is as good as eating in the restaurant. It’s also nice that they put it in a thermal insulating container and deliver it.
G.O For me it’s razor.

It’s none other than G.O who was active as moustache-dol at the beginning of his debut! How about the other two people?
Joon For me it’s shampoo.
Cheondung A coffee commercial is good, I suppose.

When this magazine is available for sale it will be mid-summer! What is everyone’s memory of summer holidays?
Seungho The sea! And mountains!
G.O Eating watermelons.
Joon I took a nap with the TV on at home~
Cheondung Detention class (tears).
Mir Playing in the mountains and rivers.

At last, vampires, please tell us your next aspiration in Japan. Has a solo public performance at Tokyo Dome also come to your sight?
Seungho Our next aspiration is to get 1st place on Oricon weekly chart first. The next is Tokyo Dome.

Shooting Sketch

It was also raining on this day. When we were shooting the “WHITE MBLAQ” special gravure of HOT CHILI PAPER Vol.64 we had some heavy rain in Seoul after a long time, too. They absolutely have some relationship with “rain.” Following the “WHITE MBLAQ” that was greatly well-received, of course we will go for the regular tactic for attack with the group’s theme color “black.” The concept is Rock n Roll! We tried an image of young energetic city rockers.
Did the members that appeared in the studio get tired from their overly tight daily schedule? They gave off a feeling of having a bit low tension. However, when they were doing their hair and getting changed, switch on! We started the solo cuts of the photoshoot from Seungho. We also prepared all kinds of food as gadgets, and for Seungho it’s an apple! He had a bite for us and said “Yummy!” while he broke into a broad smile. On the side Mir was in the middle of having his individual interview. The other members were relaxing in their own way like eating their bento** (Japanese style fried meat and pork cutlets) and flipping through the back issues of HOT CHILI.
As one would expect of a chic-dol, they also don’t lack in their attention to details. What shocked us is that Cheondung put on the somewhat loose white tank top that Joon was wearing at the beginning without our knowledge. Perhaps he wanted to show us the result of his body training. During the photoshoot, whenever cheers broke out from the staff who looked at the monitor, “Oh~, so handsome!” both the members and the tension in the set got heated up! When the photoshoot was over, Joon and Cheondung brought out their own camera, checked the cameraman’s monitor and took pictures of their favorite cuts. We were somewhat being moved to tears by Cheondung’s words, “Because if they don’t get to appear in the magazine, I’ll never see the cuts that I myself like.” The interview with the 5 people was about fashion and was a swirl of explosive laughter. It was free and rough, but we are making it into shape. We have a real feeling that we have checked out the team power of that MBLAQ!

PART 3

Seungho's Interview to read the rest of the blaqies here 

Seungho

K-POP world’s foremost “Home Electronics & Qualifications” idol
The big-hearted leader who leads the group to the high place

As K-POP world’s number one “home electronics idol,” please tell us your favorite machine.
Notebook PC. It is handy and can do anything, so I use it regularly the most.

What kind of music do you listen to with your PC and MP3 player?
The ones that I listen to all the time are Eminem’s “Won’t Come Back Down,” MAROON 5, X JAPAN’s songs and piano jazz. I repeat them endlessly. When I’m listening to the songs of the first 3, my tension goes up, I’ll be in a very happy mood and get energy. And then at the end with jazz I get to calm down and regain my composure.

If a home electronics idol is to give presents to a girl?
I have assembled an original PC and given it out as a present once only. As living in a home that is surrounded by brothers, I don’t understand what pretty and cute things are at all. I’ve done things like asking my buddy’s girlfriend what kind of keyboard and mouse is good and trying to attach a cute character. The response was also good. Besides that, I’ve given cellphone, video player, game console for killing time and so on as presents before.

How about giving flowers as presents?
Never, because I don’t know the names of the flowers well. The ones I know are rose, baby’s breath, chrysanthemum, cherry blossom and that’s about it.

If you are to write lyrics for yourself, what kind of words will you put in?
“Dream.” I think that if I go forward with a big dream and hope, even if it doesn’t come true, I can reach half of it. Even it’s a dream that seems to be impossible realistically, I always persist and try hard to make it come true.

Since when did you have the dream of being a singer?
It was quite late. I majored in acting when I was a student, and besides that I formed a dance team for my hobby. At that time, I came to realize that I like performances that display my all in a short time on stage more than acting. Because of that, when I reached 22 I had my audition for the first time with a feeling of it being the first and last time. When I was a trainee I kept getting scolded only. Even if I tried my best I got scolded, and even if I did well I didn’t get praised. Perhaps it has the meaning of “you must always make an effort.” I can’t forget the words that the team leader of our agency and RAIN sunbaenim gave me just before debut, “Finally your dance became like a dance.” I got cheered up a lot, and my feeling of loneliness and hardships until then disappeared in a flash.

You are famous as a qualification mania, too, but it also has something to do with your background of aiming at becoming a singer after 20, doesn’t it?
I only got the qualifications that are necessary at a general workplace. The people of our agency also said, “Even if you don’t become a singer you can survive, I suppose.” I’ve been wanting qualifications since I was an elementary school student, no, in kindergarten.

What kind of dream do you have now?
I want to reach the top as a singer. I’m always thinking about how to do it, as MBLAQ, as myself, if I can go higher. One day I want to be told, “You are the singer of singers!”

What kind of songs do you sing at karaoke?
I often sing “Chilgap Mountain” that was the favorite trick of my grandfather who has passed away. I heard it when I was a kid, but as being young accordingly I didn’t feel people’s suffering and sorrow of life. People laugh when I’m singing it in front of them because it’s too old, but because it brings back my memory I have to sing it. I’ve never climbed Chilgap Mountain, though. For other trot songs I often sing “Everybody Cha Cha Cha,” too.

How is your dream for marriage?
My dream before was to get married at 20 and become a young father. For now, in my early or mid 30s? Then I’ll bring up two boys like they are my friends, and it will be nice if they will become computer programmers for me.

What do you see in your dreams when you are sleeping?
I don’t dream much. I do my best in sleeping and can’t even wake up fully in the morning. Even if there’s an earthquake in the middle of the night, I might not notice it completely.

What do you yourself think is being misunderstood?
It seems that everyone thinks I’m “scary.” “Aren’t you angry” and so on. It’s because I always speak straightly. I can’t speak like softly and euphemistically.

When you are seriously angry, how will you be?
I’ll be at a loss for what to do. After that I don’t know either. I don’t have the memory. Well, since I became a singer I’ve changed a lot, though. Originally I was the type that rarely talks except with my close friends, but it’s become so that I talk to people actively.

When you Seungho, who is manly like that, thinks about it, what is a must for friendship between men?
Alcohol? I myself don’t dislike alcohol, but I drink when I am off work, meet my friends in a long time, and that’s about it. As I’m not near my friends and to my delight I have a lot of work, we can’t meet easily.

Frankly, does friendship between a guy and a girl hold true?
It doesn’t. A guy and a girl can’t be friends.
