I wanted the song to contain various meanings, and what I wanted in particular was to appeal to the audience with my charms as a man.

I used to be very ambitious. But reality taught me that ambition won't get you everything you want. You need more than just passion and hope. It's important to do what I'm good at and suits me.

We made our debut in Japan about few years ago and when we went on a morning show there to promote our album, I did a brief interview in Japanese using simple expressions such as "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." But one of the members of our group said, "Stay quiet if you can't speak Japanese! It's embarrassing!" So that's when I told myself that I'd show how good I am by studying Japanese hard.

During shows and interviews, I want to tell people exactly how I feel and I thought that if I am honest and straightforward, then people will accept my words for what it is, but that's not how it works. My way of thinking is too naïve.

When I do something wrong, members will think it's because I'm the maknae and things will be ok.

I like the type of music that can make my heart beat and the melody that makes me high but this type of music isn't popular in Korea.

I'd like to become better at writing music by continuing to study it.
