» How did you become Teen Top members?

Changjo: We were all chosen by Andy hyung, and were selected one by one through an audition called “Andy’s Choice.”  After that we trained, and that is how the group “Teen Top” was made.

» Was everybody chosen at the same audition?

Niel: The time periods were different, as there were several times when they took place, but I think we were all chosen through “Andy’s Choice” auditions.

» Who is Teen Top’s head honcho? 

(*like a military-type leader)

L.Joe: We don’t have one.

Ricky: But sometimes, because C.A.P. hyung is our leader, (no matter what), “yes, we shall”

Niel: Pretty much just when we’re practicing

» Oh, when you’re practicing?

Chunji: That’s right, when we’re practicing, C.A.P. hyung…

» It seems like the balance is really good. So when it’s time to take it easy and play at the dorm, you can play, and when it’s time to focus on precise work, you work

» Which member likes to exercise a lot (is athletic)? 

Chunji: Among us, C.A.P. hyung does a lot of muscle training. At the track and field competition it was all clear.

Niel: We’re all about the same

Changjo: Our running is about the same too. When we tried running, we just would stay like this, side by side. 

Chunji:  Yeah, the six of us are all the same.

» We can’t reveal any details prior to the broadcast, but as for the results of the idol track and field competition, was there anything particularly impressive?

Ricky: There was somebody who made it to the finals

Changjo: That was like our everyday skill level-

Chunji: (other people said) “great!” 

Changjo: The other celebrities were really awesome

Niel: There were people like real athletes.

Changjo: Yeah, real athletes!

Niel: We were just doing it in our way, but others were true athletes.

» Well, for each of you, is there a sport you feel like you’re good at, or that wherever you go, your skill level is higher than others’? Please give an example, such as basketball or soccer

Niel: For me, it’s soccer

Chunji: For me, basketball

Changjo: For me, it’s a track and field event, the high jump.

Niel: You’ve got jumping strength

L.Joe: Ah, as for me, L.Joe, I’m good at badminton.

Changjo: I’m really awesome at badminton!

Niel: I’m really awesome at badminton!

L.Joe: And table tennis.

Niel: I’m really awesome at table tennis too.

L.Joe: That kid can’t play at all! I beat him!

Niel: I let you win that time.

Ricky: Niel hyung .

Niel: It was because I had a bad racket!

Changjo: The two of you are about the same level, aren’t you?

L.Joe: That kid doesn’t even know how to hit the ball.

(I had to admit I was ROFLing while reading this part)

» Hahaha, he doesn’t know how to hit?  But he’s rating others?  Be quiet and don’t jump into the conversation

Ricky: Ah, my calves and thighs are strong, so I’m good at sports like that, yeah those kinds of sports.

» Weight-lifting comes to mind…

Ricky: I’d like to try sumo (ssireum)

Other members, together:  Ah- you’d be good at that!

Ricky: I have large calves, like my hyungs

Chunji:  The maknaes are really strong, too

C.A.P.: I’m no good at any of them ^^ No matter where it is or what kind of sport

» Huh? with a body like that, he’s not good at competing?

C.A.P.: That’s right.

» But you work hard at this (muscle training), and you like it, right?

C.A.P.: I’m not that great at muscle training either, hehehe
