How have you been these days?
After
I have been busy as my calendar is quite packed
How did you feel when you realized that the video went viral?
I felt so good until it got like 500k views at first.
I thought ‘people are getting interested little by little’
But as the views go over 1M and 2M
I felt a lot of pressure.
All those feelings came to me as a pressure.
Have you seen the in National Singing Contest version?
Yes I have.
At first I didn’t feel that great.
Because I put my heart into that song.
At first I felt a little uncomfortable people making fun of it.
But to be honest,
Watching a lot of celebrities
making covers of the song,
I got to think that
I am just grateful for all these things.
If Gongcha were to release a new menu called ‘Night Sky’, would you be able to order it in version?
Please add extra ‘Tapioca(Pearl)’ to Night Sky~
Any behind the scenes episode of ?
We pull a lot of pranks with each other.
When Gray plays some strange beat which he made in a way we didn’t expect,
Like a really ridiculous beat,
And we go like ‘Oh how’s it? Isn’t it so good?’
And it is really easy to fool Anandelight and Mudd the Student as they are very naïve.
They can’’t say something negative to others.
So it make it even funnier.
Their reactions like ‘I don’t think it’s right…’ and it’s so funny to watch them.
<With whom have you become close the most through ?
Every members of our crew gets along with each other very well.
But I think I got close with Gray the most.
Because we spent a lot of time together
Preparing for the final round.
We were together for over 10 hours a day, for almost a week.
So I think we became close to each other.
Who did you find hard to make friends in team GRAYNOMA?
At first it was Mino.
I was scared of him rather than feeling awkward.
Because he was bigger than I expected
I mean his physicals, so when we first met,
His hair was shaved as well.
So I was afraid a little and I think I got intimidated.
But then he was so nice to me
So I loosened up and we got closer.
During your battle with Ourealgoat, is there any line that actually hurt you?
It’s not like I felt bad about it.
But I remember some of his lines like
“fake Louis Vuitton, fake Wonstein”
I just didn’t mind it because we were supposed to diss each other.
But there was a line that said I did a nose job.
But I didn’t do a nose job.
But people watching the video
would probably just believe it as a fact.
So I didn’t think it was fair.
I didn’t do a nose job.
What’s your favorite beanie?
There is one I got as a gift from my fan recently.
I think it was from Zara.
It’s beige and very thick.
And the beanie itself is just very cute.
And I also got Louis Vuitton’s beanie as a gift
I think that one was cute too.
How many beanies do you have at home?
I haven’t counted them but
I think I have around 20.
What happened to the beanie you threw to the audience during your performance of ?
I am not sure about it.
But I heard that it got ripped apart
By the audience
What kind of tattoos do you have and what do they stand for?
I have this daisy on my wrist, and it’s because I like daisy,
But also because daisy means ‘peace’.
This is where my artery is.
I did this when I was very unstable and insecure.
And it says ‘rendez-vous’.
Here I have king’s crown.
So it means ‘Let’’s meet again at the top’.
I got this cloud tattoo when I was going through a bad period of my life.
Bad things kept happening to me at that time.
So I thought my life has too many ups and downs.
So I added these lightnings and rainfalls.
Because my name is BE’O(means ‘raining’ in Korean)
It’s true.
That’s why I put rainfalls.
And I custom designed this character.
I did this when I had a lot of situations where
I should smile even if I don’t want to.
So it represents what I thought back then
With a smiling balloon.
The last one is this ‘XXXX’.
When I did this, there were too many things
That I want to say ‘No’ to.
‘I hate it’
‘I don’t think it’s right’ I had a lot of those answers in me.
So I put 4 Xs here.
What’s your phone’s wallpaper right now?
It’s not my wallpaper,
But this is my lock screen.
‘Stay true to myself’ I wrote this for myself.
I changed my lock screen to this early this year and now I have been using it until now.
I felt like I am a fake, I thought myself as a fake.
‘why am I keep thinking about what other people think of me?’
I thought about those things a lot. I had such a low self-esteem.
So I wrote this on my notepad and set it as my lock screen.
I like it so I didn’t change it.
What is going to be your next hairstyle?
Now that I shaved my head.
I don’t think there is anything I have not tried.
I want to let it grow after that I went bold.
I want to let it grow long so I can tie it.

Rainbow Sherbet
Mint Chocolate Chip
I am not a huge fan of Mint Chocolate,
But I find Baskin-Robbins’ Mint Chocolate delicious.
Do you have any plan to re-upload the songs you deleted from Soundcloud?
I don’t have any plan to release the songs I deleted.
I deleted the songs because I thought I went too far.
I deleted the ones
I thought I tried too hard.

It goes like this and it sounds even louder when you actually play it.
Is there any reason why you use a lot of black hearts?
It feels more sincere.
Personally I think red heart looks too cute
Black heart looks more serious.
That’s why I use it a lot.
What’s your biggest fear?
To get into a slump.
I fear the period where I can’t get any inspiration.
It was the scariest experience in my whole life.
