For me… Kang Sae-byeok?
8!
I don’t think I can do it…I would just laugh half way through it.
Hello, nice to meet you. From now on we will…
Heeseung, Niki’s , let us begin now.
Nishimura Riki. It’s correct.
Born in 2005, December 9th.
I don’t think it’s right.
Is it Japanese age?
I guess so.
Okayama-gen, right,
Okayama-shi,
Okayama-shi Kita-gu?
How do they know this?
Is it correct?
Yes, it’s correct.
You are known for your growth spurt. Is there any secret to it?
Can I say this?
Ah do you mean that?
You can say it.
I
Had a lot of ‘TenTen’.
It makes you grow taller really fast.
Last time I measured, I was 175 centimeters tall.
175cm
When you measured for the last time?
Then it must be a long time ago.
Because you are taller than me now.
I think this is right.
182cm to 183cm
This is actually
I was copying Michael Jackson at first.
And started dancing.
My dad showed me some videos of Michael Jackson.
I started to have interest in dancing from that.
You see this part looking like flame?
You mean the thing like a tail?
I made this look like
Michael Jackson’s autograph.
I made it similar to his autograph out of respect.
He is one of the members who have a big gap difference.
Because a lot of our songs
Have very dark and chic
Concepts,
I try to practice my facial expression for each concept.
You look like a baby.
This is really long time ago.
I was blonde.
When was it?
I look really young.
Your face smells like baby powder.
You have many nicknames. Which one do you think suits you the most?
Jung Hoyeon from
Kitten
Baby chick
Cocoball?
What’s a Cocoball?
Isn’t Cocoball that thing?
Cocoball?
Yes this one.
What do they mean I look like this?
Do they mean you look like this character?
Well
Does it look like me?
Cocoball..
It looks like Jay too.
For me… Kang Sae-byeok?
I know.
I mean really.
I saw a photoshoped picture,
And I really thought we do look alike.
When the was released,
I remember there were tons of RTs
calling him ‘idol who look like Kang Sae-byeok’
I was surprised too when I first saw it
Because we really did look alike.
What’s your favorite thing to do these days?
My favorite thing to do?
Bowling.
I don’t think
I am good at it.
But it’s fun to play it with our members.
So I am into bowling these days.
I don’t get to play it a lot when we are on a promotion
But when we have some time
Like when we are on a break or have a day off,
We hang out together playing bowling.
Yes I was born in Uiwang-si, Gyeongi-do.
Republic of Korea.
How do they know that my hand is 19 centimeters long?
Ah but this
We once measured it on a radio program.
Ah really?
It’s amazing that they know about it.
You remember it?
Actually
My favorite computer game is LOL.
LOL
Our fans might be a little disappointed to hear this.
I once deleted my account on LOL.
And I created it again
To play the game.
I’ve been playing it really hard since then.
With whom do you play it?
With Jay
Jay hyung…
Jay hyung?
Ah with Jay and
I usually play it with our members.
Your MBTI changed a lot. Which one do you think explains you the best?
At first the test felt really interesting.
So I was very curious about the result.
But then as I was taking the test several times,
I lost my interest.
So I haven’t been taking the test lately.
It changed from
INFJ
To INFP
And then to INTP
And to ISTP again.
Probably…
I think I got INFP
More than any other types.
So I guess
I might be an INFP.
(sudden question) How would you rate chemistry between you two?
8!
How did we do this?
Doesn’t it mean our chemistry is perfect?
We were aiming for this.
How did it happen?
I think we are a little different
As he doesn’t like bowling, and I like it.
And I don’t play LOL
Though he likes it very much.
Those things?
I gave 8 because
I think we need to be a little different
We are slightly different.
I think those different aspects
help us stay together
And our relationship last long.
We don’t agree with each other perfectly all the time.
But I think that’s better for us.
This is such a long time ago.
When is this?
This is when we were shooting for our merchandises.
I don’t remember.
His big bambi eyes and straight nose, and sharp jaw line are very impressive
Members said that you are very cute.
Did they say that?
Oh~~~~
Personally, he is funny
Rather than cute.
He has very fun personality.
Personally I think
It’s hard to define myself in one word.
I think my personality changes every day.
Like my MBTI changes every time,
I think my personality changes
every now and then.
I am not sure if I am cute.
That’s how I think.
This is such a long time ago.
You look too young.
When is this?
This is from I-LAND.
Why do I look so young?
You are really doing your best.
This is such a long time ago.
I know.
This is really our memory.
Can we watch it a little longer?
This was tough too.
I know.
I was in charge of the center position for this stage.
And because I was the center,
I really wanted to show some energy and lead this stage.
Because there was no vocal at all,
We were just dancing to the song without singing.
I really tried to focus
To lead rest of the 2 members.
Ah the
Your vocal sounds really stable despite the powerful choreography.
That’s why we prepared this ‘One breath challenge’.
I don’t think I can do it…I would just laugh half way through it.
Hello, nice to meet you. From now on, I will start to speak a sentence in one breath
Without making a mistake which is called a one breath challenge.
The reason why we do this is because we can develop flexibility in speech by doing this.
Flexibility in speech means an ability to speak sentences
fluently and naturally without stuttering. Usually people who are good at speeches
Have this flexibility in speech. And your voice gets stable
as you breath longer and longer. I hope you can try this too.
This has been a one-breath challenge so far. Thank you.
Succeeded.
Ah~~~~
The last time we went bowling is
After we finished our promotion for Blessed-Cursed
We got this vacation for around a month.
I didn’t know it was that long ago.
Yes.
We had this vacation for a month.
That was our last time.
And we never went together after that.
This is because
Honestly, my score is only around 50.
No, you play better than that.
He always talks me into it like this.
He’s good at it.
Even though I don’t play that well.
Heeseung is really good.
When you get 120 or 130,
I get 50.
And just drink sodas there.
No no,
It’s fun.
I’ll make revenge.
Okay.
I’ll go there for revenge.
Okay.
Soon.
Today?
Wow this is really
Is there any challenge you would like to try?,
What else there is?
Shall we do ‘GBGB’ challenge?
Jiggle Jiggle?
No, ‘GBGB’.
What’s a ‘GBGB’?
Good boy Gone Bad.
Tomorrow By Together.
It would be great if we can do something like that in the future.
But for this,
We practiced it over and over really hard.
And producer Bang usually
Gives us a lot of feedback for our choreography
But for this one,
He took extra care on it.
So we were really grateful… but it was a bit hard for us.
We were thankful, but it was not easy.
We were so grateful,
He monitored every detail and gave us his feedback.
And that’s how we aligned every moves and detail.
I guess that’s how why got the good result.
What’s the key dance move for the new song?
The chorus is very simple
And powerful as well.
So when we perform the song,
We can feel the energy from the song.
I think I like this
first part
In terms of
rap and performance.
Because it has raps
Which we haven’t had so far.
That’s right.
I think the song sounds better
With the rap.
From the intro,
I think I really liked the first part of the song.
This has been Heeseung and Niki’s
.
How was it?
It was very interesting for me.
Me either.
It was really fun to watch the videos from the past.
That’s right.
I felt that we grew up a lot.
It was really great to think back the old memories.
