[121006] (INTERVIEW) "CD-like Idol" 100% "Live secrets are..."

Eventhough they are charismatic & charming men on stage, they are actually like playful students in their early 20s.


- HyukJin & B1A4's Sandeul are from the same vocal academy, what's the extent of your friendship?

(HyukJin): We speak informally but we are not very close but i followed him alot. But its been quite long, we haven't been together for 2years? When Sandeul hyung passed his audition & he had to leave from Busan to Seoul, he gave me a Banana Milk & he said "Work hard, I'm going to leave". So i said to him "I will go to Seoul & look for you. I'll succeed. See you in broadcasting stations". These days we are contacting through Kakaotalk, its not surprising. I know that I don't have phone now. When we were still in the academy, the teacher said we are looked alike haha...

(Minwoo): When you see him in broadcasting stations, you should give him a banana milk too & say "I'm here".

- RokHyun debuted in a male duo Jumper in 2009, but return as a trainee again. Do you feel heart broken?

(RokHyun): It's very sad. But rather than feeling sad, I feel that starting new suits me very well. Truthfully, after Jumper was disbanded, I have been going to practice w/ in a very good mood. In this way, I won't get depression. Being a trainee for a very long time, the company also secretly hopes that I will be able to do better & not to present a shaky & weak appearance. Finally, this is how the great opportunity came by.

- Are there secrets for having such a reputation for singing live?

(RokHyun): Originally, jogging at night do help a little. If there is alot of people around, when we hum we can't be heard. Seems like its the best for live. That's why, when I was in Jumper, we do alot of running as well. Miraculously, Jumper debuted in Music Bank, and now again we 100% debuted in Music bank makes me feel happy. Also our Music Bank performance MR Removed video has been released. However, I truthfully don't know how I sounded live.

- Self-assessment of 100% vocals?

(RokHyun): A little weak.

(JongHwan): Firstly, high notes are the best. HyukJin's incharge of high notes in our title song "Bad Boy".

(RokHyun): 100% vocals are charming. I think my parts are very strong.

(MinWoo): You will be surprise when you hear the different vocals, colors, & personality in it

- Was there any mistakes on the first stage?

(RokHyun): We don't know how to capture the camera well. I forgot how to see it after 3years. I remember that a camera captured me but I didn't know & I was holding my face.

-SangHoon & ChanYong as "2nd Kim SooHyin" & "Astro Boy", has this nickname been used already?

(Sanghoon): It's because of the haircut & the photos taken. I admit there are some resemblance. This is the first time hearing it after I was born. To be honest, I feel embarrassed after hearing it. I have heard alot about Kim SooHyun sunbaenim even before he became popular. Nowadays his popularity is the best, even hearing it makes me happy. Those who talked about it (his resemblance), thanks alot.

(RokHyun): When SangHoon first came, I really thought he was the guy from "Dream High".

- 4 members are in Maknae line. Is there a sequence (rules) in 100%?

(SangHoon): I am the youngest maknae, the other 3 are like on the same age as the hyungs to me, no dongsaengs, for all the chores, we will play bokbulbok (a game) to divide them.

(MinWoo): Sometimes, the dongsaengs are like hyungs instead. But of course, there are some limits to it. There is no need for instructions, they know how to take care of themselves. But for dishes, we will play game to be fair.

(JongHwan): Theres is sequence in the dongsaengs. Sometimes When i am there & i feel its unfair, we use scissors paper stone.

(MinWoo): I talk alot with the dongsaengs, very freedom (talk about anything under the sun).

- What happens w/ the younger Teen Top sunbae?

(Minwoo): We watch (monitor) one another. Teen Top are the first to debut. It was kind of nervous & awkward when Teen Top had to judge us during our variety show, comments like "Its uncomfortable to watch..." will come out.

(Hyukjin): When we gather w/ Teen Top sunbaenim, they are very polite & we speak informally & often call each other by names.

- Are there words like getting more attentions because of Teen Top?

(Minwoo): Please do write more on the internet "Sharp Choreography". Please do expect alot from us especially the cheoregrahy. Before we debut, we pratice for 12hours, now that we have debuted, we practice for like 15hours.

- Which group do you want most to be like?

(MinWoo): Shinwha sunbaenim, as well as DBSK sunbaenim. We want to have Shinwha sunbaenim's long life span, & DBSK's perfect performance.

-Future Dreams or Goals?

(SangHoon): We will have to work hard like our name 100%, to achieve Rookie Group of the Year.

(ChangBum): We like to do acting, variety & all kinds of facets. We will never forget our 1st & original intentions/plans/dreams.
