Have you ever watched or again?
Yes, I have.
My father and I were on together.
We used to say “It was a good memory.”
when we watch it.
Since I only had a dream to be a singer when I was a kid,
I want to tell myself to try other things as well.
Who do you katalk to the most?
It’s Joshua.
I prefer to talk on group chat rather than personal chat.
But the reason I chose Joshua is just that he sent me “Good luck.” right before the shoot.
Which soccer team and league do you like?
I watch club leagues.
I don’t really have any knowledge about it.
But, I watch it anyway. I think the World Cup is the best.
What are you into these days?
I’m into monitoring myself.
I’ve been monitoring myself on content or practice.
I try to find out how I did it and how to improve it.
What is your most favorite sauce?
The sauce? Something spicy.
I put a spicy sauce on everything.
Do you like spicy food?
Yes, I do. But I can’t bear the spiciness.
Any food recommendations for the Iksan area?
It’s easy.
Can I say the name?
There is a noodle place called ‘Taebaek noodle’.
All the members know it too. Next to the Iksan station, there is a small, very small restaurant.
It’s been there since my father was a kid. It's not a franchise.
When I was a trainee and lived in Iksan,
my father always bought me noodles there before I got on a train to Seoul.
That is the best noodle in the world.
Why are these your favorite emojis?
The four leaf clover means luck.
It makes me feel lucky.
And for the one with the sunglasses…
I don’t know, I just like it. It’s hard to explain.
Can you sing us your favorite song among OSTs?
I believe it’s in ‘SEVENTEEN’s ‘Sweetest Thing’ album.
This is the OST of the drama .
How did it go.
I used to sing this a lot. Wait a minute. O.K.
“Even at the same street, everything changes I see you in every moment that passes by The clouds that resemble you Even the wind that contains you Everyday is new”
Is there a fancam that made you think “wow, I nailed it!”?
Every time I monitor my performance,
there are good things and bad things.
I honestly never thought I ever nailed it.
But there is one where I was very passionate and powerful.
That was the 2017 concert where each member did solo performances.
I rapped and it was very powerful.
I was surprised because I have never seen that side of myself before.
I want to choose that performance. Not the best, but it was decent.
What is the proudest thing of the year so far?
Before we came back with ‘Ready to love’,
I did my personal stuff on my own.
There is one I wrote the top line on my very own.
I’m quite proud of myself for that.
What song makes you dance in a shower?
I love to sing our own songs, and ballads.

I have an accent when I don’t know what to do.

but there are moments that I think I have the vibe.
For instance, when I’m on the stage.

Thor.
When he came back to the battle ground with the new hammer,
that was awesome.

I.D.A.R.E.

I always have ‘Puss in Boots’, and ‘chocolate mousse’ at Baskin Robbins.
And I also like ‘Da ji bar’, ‘Bibibic’,and ‘Hershey’.
What is your favorite hairstyle?
I prefer to have my hair halfway combed over.
There was a time I was looking for the best hairstyle for myself.
One day, the designer made my hair half way combed over, and it was so good looking.
I thought this is the hairstyle I’m looking for.
What is your favorite hair color?
I have never had red hair before,
so I tried this time.
But, I prefer black hair.

When I’m under the stage light, it’s so hot that I have to have one of those.
There is a fan which I can put over my neck just like the necklace. It’s the best.

I’ve been working out.
I try to control my breathing when I’m dancing.
When I need to do some powerful moves,
I have to control my breathing to stay focused.
I’m getting know-how as I keep doing it.
Who would it be if you can live a day as one of the members?
People who know that I am the youngest might guess
I would choose the leader. That is correct. I want to be a leader one day.
What do you want to do as a leader?
Well… I’m the oldest son in the family.
I wonder what could it be if I am the oldest son in the family and the leader in the team as well,
not the youngest member. All the members have friends of the same age except me. I want to know what it feels like to have a same-age friend.
What was the funniest moment recently?
Seungkwan uploaded a video of us in a kerfuffle.
In the video, he pretends to take a selfie but he was not. He was taking a video.
He told me to smile, not to pretend to be good looking.
Then I answered I’m not. I thought he was going to take a selfie the whole time.
He uploaded it and fans loved it. That was hilarious.

Anyone from SEVENTEEN will be nice rather than name one.
What about other than SEVENTEEN?
