My Name is Hwanhee. It means “to make people happy with my voice”. My real name is the same as my stage name. Lee Hwanhee. It’s written as “happy (Hwan)” and “happy (Hee)”, so my parents want me to live happily. I’m living happily! I’m joyful.
In 1st or 2nd grade, my nickname was “Hwanhee from Fly To The Sky” because of my name. I thought, “I’m just Hwanhee, so why are they calling me Fly To The Sky’s Hwanhee?” After hearing that a lot, I wanted to become a singer. (everyone bursts out laughing) I forgot about that for a while, and it my 1st year of middle school, I went to a Karaoke with my friends and they said, “You can sing well,” so I decided to try becoming a singer.
I felt really~ good when we debuted. A lot of people showed interest in us on our way for a pre-recording of Music Bank. I was really touched.
I’m the playful one of the group. In the dorm, (Xiao: He walks around with his clothes off! (everyone bursts out laughing) / Sunyoul: He is also the most joyful one in the dorm.) An uninvited guest? No matter which room I go into, they all say, “Don’t come in, don’t come in,” or “get out!” Nobody welcomes me! Even my roommate doesn’t welcome me. (Kogyeol: Hwanhee-ya, I welcome you.) No you don’t~~ (Kogyeol: Turn off the lights for me.) They only tell me to buy them Powerade or Pocari Sweat! (Kogyeol: But you never buy them for us~) I didn’t do it in the end. (laughs)
Maybe it’s because I don’t get many off days, but whenever I’m resting, I want to play. Do I play? I will play! (laughs) I like going to gaming rooms, the sauna, theme parks. I like them all.
I look up to Teen Top’s Changjo. If you ask me why, It’s because Changjo didn’t have many parts in their earlier songs, but if you look at him now, he has a lot more singing parts. He even writes songs! He looks really cool when he gets better through hard work and I want to be like him.
Words that describe Hwanhee are “the older one of the youngest ones”! I’m also one of the youngest! (laughs) Also, “husky voice” and “beagle”.
Dear Hwanhee, it took quite a long time but you’ve worked hard and done well. I’m proud of you. Work harder and let’s get to the top! (everyone claps)
