[INTERVIEW] Seungyoon for Elle Korea June Edition

Kang Seungyoon, He Who Has Nothing to Fear

“Like I did last year, before <Elle> had their first meeting with Winner, I pulled an all nighter last night while putting last touches for the ‘We Broke Up’ OST. I feel like a very fortunate person to meet Elle as an actor instead of a musician. I also feel fortunate for receiving a leading role in the second production I’m taking part of after ‘High Kick! Revenge of the Short-Legged’. The ‘Ji Wonyoung’ that is portrayed in the script is a band leader who has a passionate stubbornness towards music. Right now I am forming the basis of why this character cannot let go of music. I felt similarities between Wonyoung and I whenever I got in contact with him as he marches forward in life no matter how difficult life gets with music alone. For me as well, as I started being on broadcasts, my financial situation improved gradually, however, when <Superstar K> Season 2 ended and during the trainee period I started right away, I suffered a great deal of mental devastation for a significant period of time. Anyways, since Wonyoung works hard to find his own way in life, I will do my best to immerse myself in his character to trigger empathy to the ‘880,000 Won Generation’ that is vigorously fighting against the world. It might be difficult for me to act because Sandara Park noona and I are really close but it is called ‘We Broke Up’. I don’t think we’ll have a ‘love scene’ that’s too extreme (Laughs). Truthfully, the human Kang Seungyoon has many things he wants to do. Acting is another one of out of his numerous curiosities but the fact that a Kang Seungyoon of a new color appearing is its most attractive point. One day I wish to live as a doctor or producer, someone with a specialised occupation that my life that chose music cannot create. In a way, the method of music and acting is different but there is close correlation in regards to expressing emotions. I am often put in a position where I am listening to a story so I receive abundant sources of expression through these kinds of indirect experiences. This applies to me as the leader of Winner as well, I usually listen to whatever my members have to say. After we started as a group, I couldn’t think for myself so I was slightly stressed in the beginning. Of course my members take better care of me now. I am a very heavy and sincere person. I let loose at times but you could say I am the boring type. But when I accept something quickly or when I am being fearless, I think to myself that I must have ‘talent’. Compared to the past, the world has many opportunities now and it has become easier to choose but it is becoming difficult to stay and develop oneself in one domain. And since everyone is challenging themselves in a variety of things, the competition seems to be turning more intense. At times like this, I think it is right to protect the one burning and sleepless fire inside my heart but also to prune it to match the circumstances that appear passed the fences.” TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS | @chrissy96_

And then there's Epik High

Hey you said you lost respect for yet another member of sj And I'm curious what the other members did because recently I slowly began liking their songs and I want to know more about them I literally know nothing

(First off; I feel like I should put a disclaimer so people won’t leach out on me after answering this ask)

* Please keep in mind that some of these ‘incidents’ happened a long time ago, and most of the members have apologized for what happened. All groups have members that are problematic so it’s not like this is something new.. (You’d be surprised if you actually did some research on each individual group member). Sometimes their options are based off of ignorance, others based off of ideological belief. Though, I find it very unhealthy to see fans defend their bias over something they have said/done wrong while dismissing the ones who have been offended by it. You should recognize the mistake instead of brushing it off like they haven’t said/done anything wrong. Recognize it, accept it, and move on. Let’s just hope that he/she has learned from their mistake and doesn’t say something ignorant ever again.

Leeteuk has fat shamed and commented necessary things about women for a long time. The man basically reeks off of misogyny. He also made a comment about how Suzy from Miss A was too fat to be on the season two of Dream High.

Shindong has fat shamed girls in general, “If someone had to lose weight, I would tell that person to lose weight. Lose some weight, why can’t you take care of yourself. When I say this, the person might think, ‘Look who’s talking,’ but I would reply, ‘I’m a boy and you’re a girl.” Another member that reeks of misogyny.

Yesung & Shindong has both participated in doing ‘blackface’

Yesung has fat shamed women with fat legs and called them out for being ‘lazy’ (specifically young women.. like that makes it any better, thx)

Siwon is homophobic and has tried to force his religion onto his members (though, people blame his up bringing on his ‘crazed’ dad). “While I respect all genders, I do not wish to acknowledge homosexuals as I have been taught that God created Man and Woman with specific characteristics and duties.” The article was translated by an anonymous source, as many people claim that it’s not a legit statement Siwon has made. But even if that quote is bullshit, he already proven himself to be homophobic in other aspects. For example, the incident that happened at the airport in Paris, when Siwon was walking through a crowd of fans and a fanboy shouted that he ‘loved him’ and Siwon stopped mid in his tracks to yell ‘No!’ while shaking his head. He didn’t even bother to stop at the other pass byers who gave him other compliments, but suddenly felt the need to tell the fanboy off for ‘loving’ him because apparently that wasn’t right.

Heechul skinny shamed Sooyoung’s body on tv, saying that she should gain more weight like Bora from Sistar. (Sooyoung has admitted that she has had problems with gaining weight, she simply can’t).

Henry thought that his fellow members were gay and Heechul was transgender, which worried him…..

There were rumors about Leeteuk & Eunhyuk going after younger trainees, and Eunhyuk has joked multiple times about how he likes to touch young girls. Like that one time he admitted to touching an consenting woman’s body when he snuck into a girls room and touched them (this happened when he was in high school) but still gross.

When Yoona was 13, Leeteuk admitted to having a crush on her and told her to ‘marry him’ (he was 20, aka an adult making an inappropriate comment to a minor).

Zhoumi made some insensitive comments, laughing and making fun of an earthquake (though, some people claim that he didn’t mean it in that way. So take it as you wish).

Kangin called N “fucking trash” in a magazine interview while later still continuing to show a clear dislike towards him (even though N has done nothing wrong)
