How do you feel about making a comeback in the summer?
S: I was worried because it’s gonna be hot.
But we, ASTRO,
will refresh you in this hot summer.
I heard that all the members have participated in writing songs, and producing this album. Is there any behind the scene stories to tell?
R: I wrote .
The reason why I did this was that
I wanted to cheer up people in this tough situation.
M: I wrote the lyrics for the .
Because MJ asked me to try for once.
When he asked me
I wasn’t so sure about it. But I gave it a shot anyway.
I wanted to show the footprints of ASTRO through the lyrics.
S: It was my first time writing lyrics.
JinJin asked me to try it.
It was a brand new experience for me and
I look forward to having more opportunities like this and making my very own music.
What was the biggest challenge while making this album?
M: Though we made a debut with freshness as a characteristic,
we also have shown some active and charismatic images of ourselves.
It was a challenge for us to choose which characteristic we should take with us.
Since we started with a freshness, we are back to it. We are specialists.
Q. What is the highlight of the title song?
R: I think every part is a highlight of this song.
Especially when we do the ‘Switch dance’ which we made.
This is the move where we draw a clock and press down the switch at the end.
I think it is the highlight.
Is there any part you wanna try?
S: I wanna try out that rap part. I think I have a talent for that.
R: Yeah, He’s right.
S: You know the rap he does. “Nobody could stop us, it’s now let’s party”
R: You got it wrong.
It goes like “Nobody could stop us, Let’s have fun, everyone party.
This time Tikita, the time will fly, so all night long”.
S: wow.
Is there a song that made you think “oh, this is it!”?
M: when I heard for the first time,
I wanted it to be in the album.
I just like songs like that and thought this would be amazing if we perform this song on a stage.
R: . I like songs that make me feel comfortable.
Who is the best cook?
Jinjin says he is.
Jinjin?
M: Is that so? S: How come I’m not on the list?
M: Everyone can make ramen.
He just put an octopus in it.
Did he really say that he is the best cook? Honestly speaking,
Rocky started cooking a lot from a certain moment,
and fed us.
He tries new recipes on us. What was that one? Bibim noodle?
R: Yeah, that’s it.
S: That was good.
M: It was indeed.
R: I put just kimchi instead of yeolmu kimchi.
But it’s gonna be too salty if I just put it in.
That’s why I wash it with water then put it in.
What is the most memorable summer vacation?
S: I always went to a swimming pool in Jangheung with my parents for 2days.
M: I lived in Cheongju when I was a kid.
We used to spend a vacation in a valley near the city.
Since it’s summer vacation, it relates to playing in the water.
What’s Moon Bin’s favorite flower?
I like pecteilis radiata.
S: A tornado?
M: Pecteilis radiata.
The meaning of it is that ‘I think about you even in the dream.’.
I just like the meaning of it.
I’m getting interested in flowers recently.
It makes me think “Should I open a flower shop?”.
Members that watch horror movies vs. members that cannot watch horror movies.
S: Cha Eunwoo can’t watch it.
R: Neither can you.
S: Yes I can.
R: He used to watch like this.
M: He just doesn't like that much.
R: It's not scary to me. When I watch it,
I think “This must be CG.”.
M: That’s meaningless.
S: Yeah, that sounds about right.
M: You gotta just watch it, not analyze it.
R: It’s hard to just watch it.
What is an unforgettable memory with the three of you?
M: Three of us together?
Is there any?
Usually there are some episodes when we were trainees.
What was that one?
R: We saw Sanha rapping.
M: During the evaluation.
R: Sanha did rap.
It was a shock to me.
To us Sanha was like the guy with the acoustic guitar.
Jinjin, me, and Sanha were a team.
Because Jinjin and I did hiphop,
Sanha was forced to do hip hop.
He was actually good at it. Better than what I expected.
M: He was so skinny back then.
R: Yeah, He was like yo~.
Is Sanha’s role model still Cha Eunwoo?
S: I respect how he thinks.
That’s why he is my role model. And he is still my role model.
R: You know we are here with you right?
You can say we are your role models too.
S: Nope.
What are tips for getting taller?
R: I used to drink a liter of milk everyday when I was a trainee,
and went to bed early. Sanha was getting taller that time.
One day he told me that he plays video games late at night.
After he told me that I quit drinking milk.
M: I didn’t drink milk that much though.
I used to drain them when my mother told me to drink.
S: I didn’t drink milk.
M: Maybe it depends on the person.
What is an unforgettable life lesson from your parents?
R: The behavior to keep learning led me here.
M: I know what you are up to. Nay just kidding.
S: Isn’t that what your parents told you?
M: Back then I learned that even though I lie,
it will eventually be revealed. So I try to be honest.
S: To be on time.
Is there any certain reason why members like chadol doenjang jjigae?
M: Not really.
I just wanted to have chadol and doenjang jjigae at the same time.
That was why I ordered chadol doenjang jjigae for the first time.
It was really good. I couldn’t forget how good it was.
It was so good that I had it every time I had a schedule.
I told my members to try it.
And now, they like it too. I’m somewhat proud of myself.
Who does Sanha think is the cutest? (you can say it is you.)
S: I think that’s me.
M: You wish. I admit it. You are cute though you are the oldest.
He sometimes acts like the youngest.
What do you want to tell each other right now?
S: What I wanna hear from them?
M: Things you wanna hear.
R: You can’t hear because you have small ears.
S: You wanna go first?
R: As a member of ASTRO,
I want to hear that we are on the 1st place on the chart. That would be great to hear.
As a person,
I want to hear that I can go to bed now.
S: That’s somewhat scary.
M: What do you mean by that?
Does your life end?
R: No,
I mean I can sleep now so I can recharge the energy for tomorrow.
S: What I wanna hear right now.
If one of my friends calls me
and tells me that I am diamond rank in League of legends.
That will make me think “I made it.”.
What do you want to say to each other at this moment?
R: Stop growing up.
S: It's stopped.
M: No it’s not. You are still growing up. I’m pretty sure you are 1cm or 0.5cm taller than before.
S: Is that right? I sometimes think the shelf in the shower is getting lower.
R: I’m so jealous.
S: Anyway, I wanna tell you guys that I love you guys so much. I want you guys to be by my side forever.
R: I wanna tell Sanha
to stop growing up for real and you are doing great.
And for Moon bin,
I think you should stop lifting weights.
You are in good shape. Lifting too much might hurt you.
M: I wanna say that Rocky
is an odd duck in a good way.
He is new every day.
And I hope Sanha,
who is the youngest but tallest in the team,
will stay on track and be successful.
M: We had an interview with Esquire Korea today.
We answered the questions Aroha asked.
How did you like it?
R: Yes, they said yes.
M: That’s good to hear.
R: Please look forward to it.
M: It was Wanna be your star! ASTRO! Thank you!
Bye bye~
