- I choose sporty. - Okay!
- This is the sporty version for PENTAGON’s UNIVERSE. - Yeah.
- And to AROHA, it's the blue ver. - The me ver.
- Yeah. - Let's see.
What does this mean?
When did you most feel like your siblings were your siblings?
- Your siblings...? - I have a younger sister.
Either when you fought
- or... - We're always like the typical sister and brother.
I think I get what this question is talking about.
I honestly...
- don't really fight. - Really?
So we don’t really have many instances where we fought, but I don't really remember.
So on a brighter perspective,
- It's ideal... - have you ever felt like your sibling was truly your sibling?
A while back, no, not a while back.
My sister sent me a package on my birthday a few months ago.
She sent a perfume with a letter.
She came all the way to Seoul to see me on my birthday.
She lives in Bundang, and when she came, we had steak.
The two of us spent time together.
- And when she handed me the present, I teared up. - How touching.
I...
I'm actually really close to my younger brother.
Good. I have an older brother too,
and I've never fought with him yet.
Yes, he's 4 years older than me,
and he always, well, there's an instance that I remember.
I was 2 and my brother was 6.
My brother didn't let my parents make the sound of footsteps because I was sleeping.
He told them to tiptoe around and be quiet.
- Because you were sleeping? - The baby would wake up.
- It's so romantic. - He was shushing them.
Mom, dad.
- You are making noise, the baby will wake up. - That's cute.
- I can imagine how much he liked you. - Right. And
when I pooped, he always took care of it.
It was like a baby taking care of another baby.
So I really liked it.
It's actually rare to see that type of sibling relationship.
Everyone tells me that,
but I thought this was something that happens to everyone.
Me too. Only after seeing that other people looked at us oddly,
I realized that it's not always the case.
- Yet we met. - Right.
But when I see you, I can see that you grew up that way.
- Really? - It shows.
I'm sure it was the love of your parents
that made you guys love each other much.
- Let's pick the third one. - Yes.
Now, it's already the third.
Yes, then I'll pick
the me version.
Now, who is your most memorable teacher?
Or who is the person you consider to be your teacher in life?
We are talking much about the past
since it's the family month,
and I actually don't remember too well.
But my mother always told me.
I went to elementary school and middle school in Ilsan.
I was in 1st grade.
I was entering the elementary school from kindergarten,
and my first homeroom teacher in 1st grade was named Baek-hyun Jang.
- The name? - Yes, the name.
My mother said
that I didn't want to go to school.
I asked her why I needed to go to an elementary school when it's not even necessary to go to a kindergarten.
So, she tried to find ways to bring me to school and when she finally did,
as they were taking attendance, I wasn't there.
So they called my mom.
- Wow, you were only in 1st grade. - I was in 1st grade.
So the school told her I wasn't there.
So she said, 'But... JIN-WOO went to school?'
I was actually hiding in the bathroom.
I guess you really didn't want to go.
And then the teacher said 'JIN-WOO, come out!'
And apparently, I was crying in there. I don't know why.
So the teacher had trouble getting me out since I was crying.
And I ran away past the teacher,
and ran about three rounds around the school field with the teacher.
- Really? - Yes, I was running away.
I'm pretty sure he could catch you, but he didn't.
Right. If he wanted to catch me...
- You would've been caught in a couple of steps, right? - Right.
He could grab me in a few seconds like this.
He was a teacher who really understood what could hurt
little kids,
and he actually became a principal of another school after I finished 1st grade.
Wow! I mean..
He's a very experienced teacher.
Wow, that's cool.
So, thanks to him, I could spend my first year of school
without being hurt or anything.
- You met a very good teacher. - Right, for real.
I hope we get more and more good educators
- like him in Korea. - Right. Right.
- Should I pick? - Yes.
Since I really like the color purple,
I'll take the purple capsule.
A place with your memories?
- A place filled with my memories? - A place filled with memories.
- As a kid. - There are many.
There are too many. Taekwondo gym.
- or... - Taekwondo.
- Snack stands, that tteok-bokki in a cup, - Right.
- Pikachu, - Tteok-bokki and Pikachu,
With Gim-mari.
I used to practice singing and dancing, and jumped around the bed that
my mother and father used when I was a kid.
From then?
And another thing I remember was,
- I was playing a survival game with BB guns. - Right. Right.
We had an underground complex at my condo.
- Right. - When you play Sudden Attack,
there was a place that was like a warehouse in the condo complex.
I remember being scolded by the security for playing there.
Right. You have to be disciplined growing up.
- Right. Right. - For real.
We have to know what we are doing wrong.
- Right. - I think I always did that.
It was really fun. And the stationery store!
Right. The stationery store.
- Yu-Gi-Oh cards. - Right. Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
- Red-Eyes Black Dragon. - Black dragon.
- Black magician. - Was it an obelisk?
Right.
- Exodia! - Exodia.
- Right. - This is what connects those born in '96 and '97.
I'm '98.
Ah, you were born in '98? Right.
And I went to PC cafes.
Ah, I went to PC cafes a lot.
And trampoline.
We did that a lot.
- It's such a good old memory. Do they still have it now? - Actually, we can spend all night talking about the past.
I think I had an annual membership to Everland.
And my family really liked skiing,
so I spent a lot of time
- That too.. - at ski resorts.
They made me Ham-jjigae a lot.
- Ham-jjigae, wow, crazy. - I went camping a lot.
I went to Gangwon-do a lot.
What I have in common with KINO is that I went skiing a lot as a kid and
- I went camping a lot too. - Right. Right.
- It'd be fun to go skiing together. - Uh, ski!
It'd be nice if we could go skiing together.
- I really like skiing with my friends - Ah, really?
- Next time.. - Let's go when we have a chance.
- Should we get one last question? - Okay!
Then,
now...
The moment when you were most thankful for your parents.
- How can I pick only one? - Right.
I don't remember it too well, but I apparently got really sick when I was 2.
So, they call it cerebral meningitis, I think?
I got that..
And they weren't paying too much attention to me at the hospital.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Because the baby was too sick...
You know, it’s kind of like this.
When your illness is too severe,
- they give up on you. - They make you sign a consent.
They were supposed to sign the consent to give up
and my mother...
- She would never do that. - She declined to do it.
In a way, I think a miracle took place because
- Right. - my mom did not give up on me.
And there was a very famous pediatrician at the time.
It was during lunch time,
and the doctor took a round skipping his lunch to check on the kids.
And the doctor saw me then.
I was staying in a silver-wrapped room that prevents
- Really? - exposure to pathogenic bacterium,
and he found me there.
And he called all the nurses who were eating
and ordered an MRI, and asked 'What is that patient?'
And the doctor, because there were lots of people waiting for the MRI,
I couldn't get one
- You couldn't do it. - unless I did it during lunch time.
But the pediatrician told them to take me to the MRI right away
and that it's not the time to eat,
so the miracle happened.
- So.. - Wow, for real.
- It's a drama-like story. - Yes, right.
So, my parents were probably
in their late-30s at the time.
In a way, they weren't quite old yet,
but I'm thankful that they didn't give up as parents,
and that, that kid grew up and is able to do things now
- and being a good son. - and being a good son.
So, I think I'm most thankful for that.
- There are actually many things that you are thankful for. - Right.
But, as you just said...
- that unconditional love towards their children. - Right.
It's not easy at all to love someone to that extent.
- I'm thankful because I know that. - Right.
I'm thankful for every moment,
so if I were to pick only one...
I'm thankful that they gave me a life.
They gave life to me, so I'm thankful for that.
It's a very instinctive thing, but it's a difficult thing.
- Right. It's the hardest thing. - For real.
Anyways, we had a conversation about this.
