[ZE:A Series] #99 Third Wrap-up : Eldest-line
Welcome to the third wrap-up for ZE:A Series, enter the three eldest members of ZE:A aka the Eldest-line/88-line (or can i call them the English line)
I'm going to make it really short here.
Eldest line in ZE:A is made of...
Kevin, Kwanghee and Siwan.
The three people who often play around immaturedly with each other but seemed to be feared to a certain degrees by other younger members(well, assuming from their interviews n interactions...lol...yes, even though the mischievous n fearless youngers always prank the 'innocent-hearted' elders in ZE:A, they still seem scared of/respect them in other situations)
i'd like to share their live solo compilation to show their singing talents for the last post (boo, boring)
why?
well, aside from their interesting personalities, there' are two thing i've always adored and wished from these three members, which are their voices and their English xD...while we know that Kevin speaks English, Kwanghee's and Siwan's English i'd consider as somewhat average or not that great in advanced-english speaking community(this is just my own evaluation, i'm just non-native, non-advanced english user myself..so idk)...but in ZE:A, they're considered awesomeness xD. and i would commend their effort, i always admire people who are not perfect but shows effort rather than people who are perfect in something but makes no effort/doesn't help any improvement in anything n just talk down those who aren't perfect-not referring to ZE:A btw,just in general. Whenever they're in English speaking shows, you can see Kwanghee's n Siwan's efforts...or else they'd depend solely on Kevin. But lately, i noticed Junyoung n Dongjun has been making effort to try speak more sometimes. so it's good for them. But Kwanghee n Siwan, and Kevin of course, are undoubtedly the main English representatives in ZE:A. They do seem to understand more as well. and...it doesn't hurt that i love their voices n singing, to the point that i wish they'd make a sub-unit...English sub-unit where they would sing original songs with english lyrics...haa...but then ZE:A Five n ZE:A4U came n ruined my fantasy. lol.
Therefore, i want to use this post to celebrate their singing that might have gone unnoticed...xD (wow...what a long, winding n misleading intro paragraph...lmao)
sorry the amount of vids aren't fair...actually, i didn't even want to do for Kevin...because his singing parts are too freaking many to compile...i'm just sharing the ones i compile...you can easily find Kevin's singing on youtube though...lol.

TRIPLE TALK PART 1
Who is the most mischievous among them?
ZE:A’s trustful oldest teamQ: What kind of person Kevin is?
Kwanghee: A person that is like a father. He’s manly, and he’s like both older brother and friend to me.
Siwan: And then, because Kevin comes from overseas his music skill is prominent among us, he’s also good in dance!
Kwanghee: He won’t betray so I trust him. When I have trouble, he’s a valuable friend to discuss about it.
Siwan: We can really rely on him, right.Even if the surrounding doesn’t help him, he himself will keep moving, such a reliable eldest in ZE:A.Q: What is Kevin’s charming point?
Kwanghee: Because Kevin is older, looks like he can’t do any prank, right? But he’s more mischievous than I thought.
Kevin: (laugh).
Kwanghee: Because it’s in magazine there’s nothing I can show you, but in variety show in TV, Kevin and Siwan do a lot of pranks, there are a lot of images that is cuter than the maknaes!
Siwan: (laugh). When we make jokes to each other we really mess around. There’s nothing that we hide, we mess up around while talking various thing and laughing but, if there’s a job that he can’t be defeated in, silently in order to be number one, he will exhaust himself and work very hard to be best in everything, I think that image of Kevin is charming~Q: What is Kwanghee’s character?
Siwan: As everyone already knew, he’s bright and interesting guy, but inside he’s not only amusing, I think that he’s a person that consider his own values.
Kevin: Yeah. He always looks amusing, he constantly gives laughter to everyone, but actually there are things that he is weak at it. There are a lot of things where he shows his tears to, and he’s very kind when facing other people, friends and family, he’s a person that you can’t search for enemy.
Siwan: I think that both Kwanghee and Kevin have parts that have to be accomplished as the older. They are friends that can make you feel relieved.Q: Things that you respect from Kwanghee?
Siwan: He might not show it on the surface, but actually he’s doing very well. (T/N: He doesn’t brag of what he does)
Kevin: That’s true. It’s difficult to tell the word ‘love’ to man, but Kwanghee can express his affection to man.
Siwan: Among the older too, he watches over the younger members specially, he always tell them ‘well done’.
Kevin: He’s in charge of laughter and there are a lot of pranks, he is a type of person that give his all in love.Q: Siwan’s character is?
Kevin: Siwan, he is very calm and steady, I think there are so many part of him that become exemplary.
Kwanghee: True True! Siwan looks cute but he’s also wise.
His physicality is short but he has a deep insight and the way he thinks inside is deep!
Kevin: On the other hand, he‘s also clumsy right? (laugh)
That kind of feature is very humane, that’s why it’s cute.
Kwanghee: He is a friend that you can feel his charm the more you know him. He is smart, and his fashion sense is also good.Q: Siwan’s secret that only members know about it
Kwanghee: To be honest, Siwan has a lot of aegyo! He doesn’t show it in TV, so you must have think that he doesn’t have aegyo, right!? But in front of us he acts like a child!! It’s very lovely (laugh)
Kevin: and then his clumsiness too (laugh). I think if there’s kid like this among his friends he will be popular.
Siwan: (blush)Source: K-Rush Magazine Vol. 1, Summer 2011. + http://kpoppworlds.wordpress.com
