While waiting for the photoshoot to start, I noticed that you were listening to music or watching a video. Do you enjoy being by yourself?
Yes. I like listening to music, watching dramas, composing, and going to movies by myself.

You are very handsome. How come I didn’t notice you before?
Because I am not very extroverted, people who are not our fans don’t know who I am. But still, I think people are slowly beginning to notice me. I don’t have much interest in variety, but if I were to do something I would like to show myself through acting or music composition.

How do you want to confess to the person you like?
I never confessed first before. Because I’m extremely shy, I always stop at one-sided love.

Then, if you got girlfriend, what kind of date do you want to go on?
I’ve never thought about it before. Because I like mountains and places with a lot of trees, I want to take her on a train ride through the countryside.

As a singer, when is the most electrifying moment?
When we finish a performance and we hear our fans cheering.

Is there a musician you would like to work with?
I really like BoA sunbae-nim’s voice. And for foreign artists, I want to pick Bruno Mars. Rather than amazing singing ability, I like people with special voices.

You always have a chic expression. When are you the happiest?
I don’t laugh very often. I really enjoy walking outside alone. Walking without any specific course. If you take a tax to Dongdaemun, there is a bridge you have to cross. I really like the view from that bridge.

What’s something you’ve lost and gained when you became an idol?
I started my work at the young age of 17. I sometimes wonder if I didn’t grow because I didn’t sleep much. And for something I gained, fans who take care of me. I’m really thankful because when I am sick, they really honestly worry.

What’s the most recent word you searched on the internet?
L.Joe! I search my name often. I saw a really bad picture of me while performing so I think I will have to focus more on my expressions from now on.

As a member of Teen Top, what is your goal?
I want to include a self-composed song in our album.

Have you ever showed your work to Brave Brothers producers?
No, I haven’t. But if we end up working with them for our next album, I want show it to them then, but they still scare me (laughs).
