KyuMin ya, kaka ngerti tentang face reading kan ? Bukan ilmu meramal ya. Seperti membaca karakter atau perasaan seseorang dari ekpresi wajah. Tugas akhir aku ‘kan tentang homoseksual. Waktu itu alina ngasih video KyuMin.Dari yang aku baca dari ekpresi mereka. Kyuhyun itu memiliki sikap angkuh, acuh terhadap sesuatu hal yang di anggap tak penting terlihat dari rahang dia. Ekpresi kalem dan berwibawa tapi dia bakal masang wajah kekanak- kanakan saat member lainnya berkumpul. Kalau putra perhatikan wajah Kyuhyun saat angkuh, cool, ekpresi marah, senang dan juga cemburu itu terlihat berbeda ke Sungmin, Donghae maupun Eunhyuk yang saya lihat dari yang paling akrab dengan Kyuhyun. Ekspresi senang lebih dominan saat Kyuhyun sama Donghae, sementara saat sama Eunhyuk ekspresi senangnya bisa 2x Lipat. Lainnya halnya saat bersama Sungmin ekspresi senang, bahagia, wajah cemas, khawatir, cemburu, ekspresi ragu, bahkan skin ship mereka terlihat berbeda seperti tangan, cara Kyuhyun meluk atau tangannya yang melingkar di bahu Sungmin. Itu lebih dominan ke Sungmin semua itu seperti pada seorang sahabat biasanya

Ya ampun!!!demi apa aku bahagia baca analisismu ini..aku aja yg ngga tau ilmu face reading langsung bisa merasa kalo Kyu “ada apa2” sama Umin. Tapi Ming lebih bisa menyembunyikan perasaannya dengan baik dibandingkan Kyu.Berarti Kyu emang “ada rasa” ya, sama Umin? Trus, Uminnya sendiri gimana? karena dia benar2 pandai menyembunyikan perasaannya, jadi kadang benar2 ngga terbaca apa yg dia rasakan di hatinya..

Waktu itu putra lebih menyimpulkan bahwa Kyuhyun lah yang sebenarnya yang gay, tapi lama kelamaan lihat lagi ekspresi Sungmin. Aku yakin kalau Sungmin juga punya perasaan lebih dari seorang sahabat.Sungmin itu memiliki karakter yang sedikit perasa terlihat dari matanya yang sedikit sayu, jika ia sudah mengatakan sesuatu atau melakukan kontak mesra dengan Kyuhyun. Coba saja kakak perhatikan moment mereka, saat Sungmin dan Kyuhyun melakukan kemesraan. Sungmin akan menoleh ke arah lain dan lihat tatapan yang berubah, dia seperti tidak ingin melukai siapapun.Dari senyuman Sungmin itu orang yang selalu berpositif thinking, selalu berpikir baik pada siapapun, juga seseorang yang dapat menepati janjinya.Matanya Sungmin tidak bisa menyembunyikan apapun saat sedih ataupun senang pasti terlihat. Walaupun Sungmin terlihat sedikit feminim tapi tidak ada jiwa melankolis dalam dirinya, terlihat dari garis alis yang menunjukan seseorang yang tegas untuk hidupnya. Kesimpulannya adalah menurut saya KyuMin itu ada sesuatu. Perasaan cinta, sayang, cemburu, cemas dan ragu. Perasaan yang melebihi sahabat ataupun saudara. Tapi walau bagaimana pun juga perasaan sayang yang lebih itu dominan ke KyuHyun. 70/30 lah perbandingannya.Aku masih belajar di dunia face reading, jadi kalau ada kesalahan dalampenyampaian karakter mereka maaf ya, aku juga baru kenal mereka soalnya.

*manggut2sumpah, aku berdebar2 baca analisismu..jadi begitu ya…seneng deh kalo tau begitu..emang kalo Ming itu seperti itu ya karakternya.. ngga mau menyakiti siapapun.. tapi kalo pas mereka sedang berdua aja, mungkin Ming akan lebih terbuka dalam menyampaikan perasaannya ya…Kalau menurut pendapatku (jiiiaaahh..), Kyu kan magnae di SuJu, dia yg paling akhir masuk. Waktu awal masuk, ngga semua member bisa nerima dia. cuma Sungmin yg mendukung dia dari awal. Nah, emang dasarnya Ming itupenyayang, jadi otomatis dia juga memperlihatkan sikap itu ke Kyu. Nah, lama kelamaan Kyu jadi menikmati & mulai ada ketergantungan ama Ming.Lama-lama tumbuh rasa sayang yg berlebih… itu sih analisisku.. kalo salah ya maap.. (dulu pernah punya cita2 masuk psikologi soalnya, tapi nggak kesampean )

Iya, seperti itu tepatnya. Di dunia psikologi menyukai hubungan sesama jenis itu masih dalam perdebatan. Karena dari tingkah polah seseorang penyuka sesama jenis selalu seperti menjurus kepada gangguan kejiwaan, atau karena pergaulan bebas. Putra pernah seminar dengan beberapa psikiater ada beberapa yang kontra dan ada juga yang pro. Melalui KyuMin (pasangan yang saya katakan penomenal ini). Saya membuka bahasan bahwa Homoseksual bukan kepribadian yang menyimpang atau gangguan kejiwaan. Sungmin dan Kyuhyun adalah artis korea yang memiliki citra baik, etika baik, dan mereka terlahir dari keluarga terpandang. Tidak terlihat prilaku hormon yang menyimpang dari gesturetubuh mereka. Saya menyimpulkan bahwa Homoseksual bukanlah bagian dari gangguan kejiwaan, dan berkat tugas inilah saya berhasil lulus S1 , kak.Maka dari itu putra jadi joyers. 

Yup.. yup..bener banget!Apalagi Kyu & Min itu putra pewaris utama dua keluarga yg cukup terpandang di Korea. Nggak mungkin banget kalo mereka sakit jiwa dan jadi gay. Apalagi Sungmin, dia CEO muda di perusahaan bokapnya. Apa kata dunia kalo dia ada gangguan kejiwaan? Nah, mungkin karena kedudukannya itulah, bokapnya Sungmin ngga mendukung hubungan mereka. secara Min adalah anak pertama dan pewaris utama, jadi sangat diharapkan.Udah banyak yg meramal mereka (ini pake ramal meramal gpp yah.. sekedar pandangan aja), dan selalu, selalu saja yg dilihat punya kecenderungan “rasa lebih” itu Kyu, sementara Min masih ragu2, tapi ada gejala Ming juga sayangsama Kyu dalam arti kata lebih dari sahabat.wah.. chukkae.. udah lulus.. berkatKyuMin #plaaakkkberarti sekarang lagi nerusin S2?waahh..

iya..iyaaa.. kau masih normal..arraseo..gpp kok.. cowok jadi JoYer itu malah kayak “penyegaran” ditengah padang pasir yg luas(??) karena kebanyakan fujoshi itu cewekPut, boleh aku share hasil diskusi(???) ini dg teman2 Joyer?

Iya, makanya pindah ke bandung buat lanjutin S2.Mungkin karena mereka masih menyandang nama besar Super Junior, kalau menurut putra sih yang jadi beban buat hubungan mereka bukanlah orang tua ataupun masyarakat. Tapi fans karena ‘kan di korea kebanyakan fansnya terkenal sangat kasar. Kalau dari masyarakat korea sangat indivudualisme, maybe.Habisnya kak, setiap kali ada orang yang tau kalau aku joyers selalu di tanyain aku gay atau bukan. Hhhh..Kebanyakan cowo fujoshi lebih mendukung gay jepang, ketimbang ke korea.

owh.. begitu.. *manggut2betul, karena mereka menyandang nama besar Super Junior. Kalo bokapnya Kyu malah kayaknya ndukung hubungan mereka. Nah, yg masih jadi misteri(??) itu bokapnya Ming. hahaha.. yah.. itulah resiko masuk ke dunia per-fujoshi-an nak.. emang ada apa dg gay jepang & gay korea? apa beda ya??

Boleh qok, kak. Share aja !Aku lebih fanatik ke j-pop di bandingkan ke k-pop. Nah, ada beberapa band yang membernya gay dan para fans sangat mendukung mereka sama seperti kms ke KyuMin.

KH: I thought that I was doing (Nylon) photoshoot by myself, separately. I thought once again that in my life too, ‘a flower blooming day’ really came.

KH: Yeah, I want to say once again that firstly, this appearance is not me! What sort of (appearance) am I? Looks like Kim Joowoon of drama ‘Secret Garden’ in the past. I tend to pursue the feeling of a noble and warm-hearted sunbae like that, but today (I) look a bit like rocker, right? Somewhat, hah…..What should I say? Decadent feeling? Is it the style that seems likely can be seen in a club? Well, changing (into something else) sometimes doesn’t seem bad either.

KH: Actually that’s something I say on broadcast (program). I don’t think it’s a general trend, just….it looks like something I’m starting now. Public also started to know me now. That’s why I’m really happy since it’s really different, compare to my previous life. I even did a (Nylon) photoshoot alone! Hahaha…

N: No, but you rose up through the ‘pungent idol’ image from Radio Star, (didn’t you)? Is that mischievous appearance also you?

KH: When I am together either with friends or members, I have a lot of mischievous sides. I also play jokes a lot, but actually I am not the style that spits out spiteful words like that. So, compare to the strong idol, pungent idol, my usual appearance is (more) like a mischievous idol who is very playful.

N: After Super Junior’s activities are done, do you have something new like a hobby that you make lately?

KH: In the past, I used to extremely like drama, but recently I’m busy so I couldn’t watch. I couldn’t even watch that interesting (drama) ‘The Moon That Embraces The Sun’ and also ‘Deep Rooted Tree’. But now, I am mainly watching drama that people who are close to me appear in.

N: And then, recently Donghae-ssi is also filming for drama and Minho-ssi is also filming (for drama)….Do you have something like a drama, that you exactly want to do?

N: Eyyy, a while ago, you said your self is a model student image and to wear this kind of outfits is awkward.

KH: (My) image is a model student…but my favorite actor is Uhm Ki Joon hyung. When I was doing musical , there was a swindler character named Frank. Although (I) changed through various characters as a teacher, also a student, and also a doctor, because I saw Uhm Kijoon hyung acted perfectly possessed really like that person, I begin to think that I want to try a role that is a bit contrary to my image.

N: Since the talk about model student came up, during your schooldays do you extremely study well?  Even to an extent as to receive grand award in math subject. If you were to solve that math problem now too, could you solve it?

KH: Recently the members came out on program ‘Weekly Idol’ that Jung Hyungdon and Defconn hyung did. But because there were a lot of questions that related to Math, they verified it and they really gave me Math question. It’s been 7 years since I put math in my hand. Now, it had became an ignorant condition to an extent I couldn’t even remember the weight formula, but they gave me a high school (level) question for math competition. I didn’t understand even a word of it. So, they gave me again a junior high (level) question for math competition. But, I didn’t understand anything of it either. It was completely humiliating. I really did well on my schooldays! It’s just I completely can’t remember it now.

N: Yes. I don’t remember either. I also studied a bit when I was in school. But I don’t remember anything. 

N: But Sungmin-ssi and Kyuhyun-ssi are the only roommates among the members, please boast a bit (about) your roommate.

KH: Sungmin-ie hyung is very thoughtful. I use internet at night and sleep late, but Sungmin-ie hyung goes to sleep earlier. Though recently it had changed, he would go to sleep while saying “It’s fine, do what you do”, even when I made a noise at night. If I was laying (on bed), he would go outside and make a call. He is really thoughtful, always mainly for the sake of me.

N: (That’s) nice. Then, what kind of roommate does Kyuhyun-ssi seem like to that person?

N: A while ago, you kept singing, it sounded nice. Recently, what is the song that you listen often the most?

KH: There is a song called “Still, I Love You” that Suzy-ssi sings. I knew that it was the OST of drama “BIG”, but actually I couldn’t watch the drama. However, I originally like ballad (songs), especially I like female singer’s ballad (songs). Because if I sing a ballad (song) that male singer sings too, a little same feeling can grow, but if I sing female singer’s ballad (songs), a completely different feelings grows. Especially, “Still, I Love You” is a song that I listen (after) hearing it by accident while exercising and since it was good, I looked for the song title through the lyrics.

N: Then, is that also a song of other singer that you want to record through Kyuhyun-ssi’s voice?

KH: Yes, I want to try that too, and I also want to try singing singer Mi’s “Firefly”. Through my voice, through the sensibility of a man.

N: When you sing in Chinese, how would you sing while grabbing the substitution feeling? Your pronunciation is good, it seems like a different singing method with when you sing in Korean.

KH: Honestly, I sing Chinese song better. There is pronunciation difference. Chinese pronunciation is not stiff and has a feeling of smoothly flowing. Therefore, it seems that I’m able to sing a bit more easily. I can’t speak Chinese well, but my pronunciation is good. Very much. So, I have something like that which only my pronunciation is good. Hahaha. When I sing in Chinese, firstly, I keep reading the translated lyrics, and since I put overall thing in my heart, I just grab the emotion like that.

N: Kyuhyun-ssi is a vocalist that has collaboration experiences with seniors. Like Yoo Youngsuk-ssi’s “7 Years of Love” and participating in “Yoon Jongshin’s Monthly” . In the future, which sunbae that you want to work on music together?

KH: Kim Dongryul sunbaenim. He is really a sunbae that I love so much. It would be nice if there is a way of how to know. Actually, if it is just to tell (him), I would be able to know it, but before I spread things out, first of all, I should just approach him and (know) how to become closer. Whether sunbaenim would like that, I think about it a lot. Therefore, it would be nice if a lil bit more chances to be able to work naturally together come.

N: So it’s like that. No but, you often wear striped pattern t-shirts like that?

KH: That is really a misunderstanding! It’s not that I obstinately often wear stripes t-shirts. I really only wore it several times. But since I don’t have a lot of interest in fashion, it’s just something that I wore yesterday (and) later I wear it again, well it’s like that. However, (what) the fans knew (was) that I liked stripes t-shirts, and they only gave me gifts of stripes t-shirts. That’s why the clothes that I have, they have been striped pattern, gradually striped pattern, (and) repeatedly striped pattern. So, it’s not that I like striped pattern, but I only have striped pattern (t-shirts) in my closet, that’s why there is no other way than to go out wearing that again. Ah, I’m really going crazy!

KH: Yes, it is completely a misunderstanding! Now, 80% of my closet is striped pattern. Stripes! So, I wanted to talk about it somewhere, but since I didn’t know how to talk about it… I’m so relieved though. Please ask (me) about that!

N: Hahaha. If you have a girlfriend, what do you want to do the most? How about a question like this?

KH: I could even wear headband, could wear mask too. Since I could do anything, it would be nice if I get a girlfriend quickly and go out to play a bit in amusement park.

KH: About work, at first I started as a singer but after all, because I gradually received  recognition in musical, I want to do it a lot more. In variety, even though I am still a newcomer, I will continue to work hard. In the future, I aim to be an all-around entertainer in many fields, although of course it won’t be easy. Because focusing in just one thing is hard to succeed too, but if I do well in many things at the same time, it is definitely hard. I am completely *a person who likes to work hard rather than to use my natural talent. (*T/N Kyuhyun actually used a Korean term for this, but I put the description of it so people can understand it more) . Actually I never imagined to become a dance singer. But I am doing it now. Therefore, by effort, I want to try to overcome everything and I also want to try challenging (everything).

KH: Personal stuff? Is there something I want to achieve personally? Like having a girlfriend? Uhm, the thing I want to achieve personally is if I become a bit old later, I will travel leisurely…..Sort of? I want to live a life where I can be relaxed. Now honestly because I am living like always being driven by work, although I occasionally have day offs too, I really want to live leisurely.

N: Among my friends, there were two friends who, to 5 oceans 6 continents, so around the world, traveled for a year. Those friends liked woman but they were people who didn’t have interest in marriage. However, after looking around all over the world like that, they said they must get married. I asked the reason, and they said because there were many beautiful places to the point where tears came out, they had to see it together with (their) beloved person. They said that they certainly wanted to show this beautiful nature to (their) beloved person.

KH: I actually have been receiving vacation once a year since 4 years ago. Between 1 week to 10 days. At first, I went to Japan alone, for 5 days 4 nights. The next, I went to Italy. I went alone for 5 nights and went together with members for 5 nights. Then, I went to Spain the next. I also want to see the world a lot whenever I have time. Of course, the feeling when I travel too is that for once I want to come and see with beloved person.

N: When it is finished in “Radio Star”, you ask to the guest like this, right? What is Super Junior to Kyuhyun-ssi?

KH: Super Junior is…I want to say that it is a nest for me. Even when I’m doing individual schedule like this, also doing variety, also doing musical, the other members too are working hard  in the field of their part, (right)? However, it seems like the nest that I can go back again to any time is precisely team Super Junior. Therefore, we are working hard in our part’s field, and because we gather again when we get together, we show the fighting overflown image as Super Junior. For me, Super Junior is a nest!

Like Kim Gura said, he is dangerous. MBC Golden Fishery – Radio Star’s 4th MC spot was a spot that all entertainers wanted, but this spot required much mental strength. That’s why it was so unexpected. It was unexpected of Kyuhyun, the ballad idol and Super Junior’s maknae, who came into the studio last October, singing Sun Sikyun’g ‘You moved Me’. In the beginning, however, he was hesitant to ask critical questions. But after much training from Kim Gura and Yoon Jongshin, the maknae survived for 9 months, and now he holds a strong position in Radio star. ’10 Asia’ met Kyuhyun, the strange idol and bitter idol, with handsome appearance, soulful voice, bright smile and bitter remarks.

Q: Nobody expected you to join Radio Star. How did it happen?

A: Actually, the office didn’t even think of letting me do variety shows. I was an MC of MBC Every1 ‘Super Junior’s Foresight’ but there are many members that do very well in variety shows. But last year, I was on KBS ‘Immortal Song2′, I talked with Kim Gura, who told me that he liked me very much when we filmed SBS ‘Intimate Note’ in 2009. It was amazing to hear him say, “Since then, I.. I’ve thought of that when things like this happened.”

Q: It couldn’t have been easy to have been noticed by Kim Gura. (Laugh)

 

A: Exactly! Back then, I didn’t think much but because hyung (Kim Gura) had such good memory, he recommended me to Radio Star. But at Radio Star, because I wasn’t on shows that often, didn’t even know who I was (Laugh). But after one problem at Golden Fishery and Heechul’s enlistment, Jongshin hyung also recommended me and even called to the office to ask if I wanted to work together. Even at the office, they wondered why Kyuhyun, but I told them that I wanted to.

 

Q: As a newbie, weren’t you afraid to jump into the dangerous jungle, Radio Star?

A: That’s why Eunhyuk, who has been doing shows for a while, said, “You rose too high without the middle part.” (laugh) I know that too, but even though it had been 6 years since I debuted, my fans know me, some know me as the kid that sings well and does musicals, but most people don’t know me at all. I wanted to try variety shows.

Q: You must have been torn between passion and pressure when you recorded for the first time wearing the ‘temporary’ sign.

A: Since variety shows are meant to make others laugh, it was a different pressure from my original area. I couldn’t sleep the night before the first recording. I was really nervous during the first recording and felt like I was alive again when it ended. I would be worried about it all week and then the day before the recording I would be nervous again. Plus, I am a shy blood A type, so I checked everyone’s opinions. If all the opinions are 10, then 9.5 was all disses and .5 was indifference. (Laugh).
 

Q: It must have been even bigger pressure since Radio Star became longer after Knee Drop Guru got cancelled.

A: It could be misfortune, but fortune at the same time. Radio Star used to film once every 2,3 even 4 weeks but now we have to film every week, so I can learn faster. In a short amount of time, I have heard a lot of disses, but thanks to those, I was able to grow faster.

Q: How did you get used to it?

A: I asked some members that do well in variety shows. Leeteuk told me to dress up as the guests. But, I decided to not listen to his advise (laugh). And Eunhyuk told me to watch variety shows to learn the trends. I decided to watch from ep 1 of Radio Star. But, even in the beginning, Radio Star was a mess (laugh). But as time went, I learned the characteristics of the MC hyungs and as synced to them. I wasn’t there, but I even thought of some comments that I would say in those situations.

Q: How did you feel when Kim Gura left after you got somewhat used to Radio Star?

A: Honestly, Gura hyung is the core of Radio Star, so I thought that the program was going to be cancelled when I was just getting started. Articles said that other hyungs were leaving as well. In the end, the four of us kept going, but it was difficult. Gura hyung’s role was not only the bitter remarks but also the encyclopedia of celebrities. But, the good side is that the guests expect to hear some bitter remarks when they come to Radio Star, so they are more accepting to our actions. We are still alive, but I am still worried. These days, when I see article titles such as ‘Radio Star Rumored to be Cancelled’ or ‘Kyuhyun went too far’, I look back and wonder if I should not do that next week, but if I hear that I have done well, then I do it again.


Q: These days, you get devil wings and even get the bitter remarks. I think there is a reason why you got the Kim Gura’s role even though you are an idol and the new MC.

A: Gookjin hyung is the guy that will wrap things up, Jongshin hyung also says bitter things, but he is more playful, Seyoon hyung isn’t the type to say bitter things to others either, but I must have got it from Kim Gura. In the beginning, I was making the dissing character with a bright smile. Later, the staff even gave me Gura doll and told me to be the mentee of Gura. The role of MCs of Radio Star is not only to attack the guests but to also ask those questions that the audience has been wanting to ask. There are still some people who find it hard, but there are also many that think well of this.

Q: You were known as the bright character with bitter remarks even in Super Junior before Radio Star.

A: I wasn’t on TV very often, and was the type that just watched in the back, so some know this, but most probably didn’t. In the team, I am actually very playful. I usually make fun of members often too. But, I don’t treat them like I would on Radio Star, but just enough. Just playing.

Q: Isn’t Radio Star’s atmosphere similar to that of Super Junior’s when you guys talk or hang around?

A: sometimes.. but our members aren’t that bad.

Q: If you were to rank yourself in bitter remarks, would you be first?

A: Ah, no… He isn’t very known, but Yesung is pretty bad. It has become a habit to just attack each other playfully.

Q: Super Junior is strong in variety shows but you had the dandy, ballad singer image. Weren’t you hesitant to say mean things when you thought of your idol image?

A: I think the reason why I wasn’t on shows before was because there are so many members who are good and because I had the mysterious image. So, in the beginning of Radio Star, I was hesitant and wasn’t sure if it was okay for me to say this. But, because I knew that the audience didn’t want the typical idol but a plafull MC, I tried to as honest. Many times, I thought that I should ask them to edit some parts out, but I never did. I didn’t think that I should be worried about my image when Radio Star is rumored to be cancelled. I didn’t want to make the unique Radio Star become the typical talk show.

Q: It’s not easy for the shy A blood type to ask certain questions to guests that he never met before.

A: Honestly, the comments on the Internet, I can just deal with. But it was hard to deal with the guest’s reactions of me. When Gura hyung does it, it was okay because he had that image, and everybody knew him to be that way. But, when I did it, the guests might think ‘Why is this young person saying those things to me?’ Especially when the I have never met the guests before or the guests are older, there are times when I don’t say certain things. There are certain things that I shouldn’t say in this age so I try to control myself.

Q: When Kim Sook said that you came to her waiting room and said hello many times…

A: I think the most thing to a person is greeting. So, I decided to say hello to the guests before the recordings. I visit every person, but it’s not because I am apologizing for the soon to come rude comments, but because I am hoping that the recording will go great.

Q: When you had that 4th 5th treaty with Yoon Seyoon, I think you gained more character.

A: At that time Seyoon wasn’t doing that well, and I was still not doing well. But, somehow we worked together, and it came out to be very funny. Since then, Seyoon reacted to what i did and I reacted to what he did. So, we eventually created an agreement. I had no place to get between Kookjin, Jongshin and Gura. But, with Seyoon, I was able to fit in more. I am very thankful.

Q: You were also part of Immortal song 2, the opposite of Radio Star.

A: I really wanted to go on Immortal Song 2, ever since it started, but because I was in Taiwan during that time, I joined later. I really wanted to show something different, but because of the situation of the program, I couldn’t show what I wanted for the first 3 weeks. Then, during the 4th week, I tried rock version of ‘Pretend Dance’ and luckily, I placed first and had the chance to sing ballad. Because the stages before weren’t that great, I didn’t want people to think that the main vocal of Super Junior can only do that, I worked very hard for ‘Study of Memories’.

Q: You have done musicals as well. Wasn’t it difficult trying new things?

A: At first, I received harsh criticism as much as when I first started Radio Star. So, I monitored often and discussed with others. Even if it was a harsh criticism, I thought of it as an evaluation and worked hard to fix the problems. When I fixed certain things, I saw a comment that said that I was monitoring and I was startled. And then, when I saw those harsh comments turn into compliments, I was happy.

Q: Five were casted for the role of Frank of ‘Catch me if you can’. Did you do anything to make your version of Frank?

A: The biggest sunbae, Um Kijoon showed the perfection of the role Frank. But, because my acting skills aren’t that great, I just did it as though I was lying. Not like a horrible con artist, but like a liar that the society has made.

Q: You go backpack travelling every year. Last year, you went to Spain. Unlike a world Hallyu idol, you seem to like travelling like typical students.

A: I went oversee’s very often and out of 100 times, I took a tour maybe 3 times. I know the hotels very well. I could even grade them (laugh). I receive a long break about once a year. A week to 10 days, even 2 weeks. Well, never 2 weeks. Of course there are times, when I don’t have schedules for 2 or 3 days, but because having a break for a week is special, I go travelling. I went to Japan, Italy and Spain. I went to Italy and Spain for their wine, because I love wine. I also like to schedule my travel with much detail, so I read about 5 books and figure out the cost for transportation, what to eat… I decide on everything. After a day ends, I would write down exactly what I did and exactly how much I spent. And then, I drink some wine and look out the window. It seems cheesy, but I feel like a part of a movie.

Q: Lee Sooman owns a wine business. Do you talk to him often?

A: He even brought me wine that he hasn’t released yet.I would tell him that it’s too dry and then he would say, ‘Really? I blended this and this. Then, try this one.” Then, I would say that I like that one better and then he would say that this one is cheaper.

Q: Despite the busy schedules of an idol, you seem to have some freedom and hobbies.

A: I am not the type that focuses everything on work. I do everything that I need to do, so even if I have a lot of schedule, I would meet my friends. When I don’t do well on Radio Star, and I try to prepare for the week after, it never works out. It worked better when I was unprepared and just said things. So, I try to work without having too much pressure.

Q: You are trying many different things. What kind of entertainer do you want to be?

A: It is hard to do well with doing one thing. But, it’s not like I think that from doing musicals and shows that I will become things. I just want to do close to perfection with the things that I was given the chance to do. It is interesting to see how the initial reaction of when I joined Super Junior 6 months later, or when I first did musicals and shows, change.

Q: Last, I will ask you Radio Star style. What is 2003 Byrgonu Vintage Wine (the wine Kyuhyun mentioned on Intimate Note on the rolling papers for the members) to you?

A: I haven’t tried it yet, but I can drink it now, and I can drink it later when I have done my job a bit better.

Q: What is dance break to you?

A: The evidence that hard work will come back. I started in 2006 with U. Ballad parts were using in the chorus, so I was always in the back. But I didn’t want to get lazy just because I was in the back, so I practiced the choreography very hard. During Sorry Sorry, Nick Bass said that I would do well if I was taught and during the 4th album, Davin Jameson added me to the dance break. This was really! the sweet gift to the persevered. There isn’t a dance break in our 6th album, but I am the fourth best dancer in the team. Shindong gave me the 3rd space, but was switched with Donghae. Anyways, I have been accepted.

Q: What is Radio Star to you?

A: I feel like I should be ending the show now (laugh). Radio Star is! The program that I was able to finally reveal myself to the audience after 6 years and I am very thankful. From a variety show newbie, I was put into where all the experts were and in the end I was able to upgrade myself and soon became the next variety show star!
