Q: First impression of each other?
MinHyuk: Yonghwa hyung had strong impression! He was wearing long coat. I thought, “Huh? was it an actor’s audition today?” He was fashionable and stylish.
YongHwa: Minhyuk was no different from now. He was a typical model student.
JungShin: Actually, I went to the same English institute as Minhyuk. I just knew his face at that time.
MinHyuk: I’ve never imagined we would be in a band together.
JongHyun: JungShin was wearing a school uniform, but he had his hair all back. He was younger than me, but I was frightened by him. (laugh)
YongHwa: Yes yes. He had his ears pierced, he was very tall. I was scared. I was 20, but I was scared by a highschool boy.
JungShin: Huh?? You were not scared! You talked to me actively from the first, didn’t you?
YongHwa: I did because I was scared. (laugh)
JungShin: Jonghyun hyung looks cool, but actually he is tough guy because he is from Busan. At first, his clothes was impressive… (reminded, then he laughed) He was wearing a blue jean pants and blue Adidas Jersey top.
YongHwa: That was very popular in Busan, although it was out of date in Seoul. (laugh)
JongHyun: Huh? Didn’t I look good? I still have those clothes.
JungShin: One day Jonghyun hyung got rid of his old clothes, I helped him. He said, “I have memory of this clothing, I can’t throw it away!”
Q: You debuted major in Korea and were indies in Japan. Didn’t you feel any gap?
YongHwa: We released singles in Japan every 3 months and had concerts. In Korea, we mainly did variety shows or other TV shows. We don’t have many chance to perform live in Korea. That is the gap.
JongHyun: I thought our activity in Japan is not a work, but a ‘study’.
Q: What do you want to accomplish in the future?
YongHwa: Hmmm~ One man live in Tokyo Dome? (laugh)
