221023 Doyoung’s Bubble Message (after THE LINK+ Day 2)
"The concert that I poured all my heart into is over.
There's a lot that I wish to say.
There are things that I want to say carefully too hh
Because Y/N who is receiving this message is the person I'm most grateful for so albeit carefully, I will say it all.
As I do this job, it seems like I would become a little tired when there's a misunderstanding or when I have responsibility for what I do.
However, if there are more of such tough/tiring things and I keep feeling hurt, then there will be a time when this feeling would turn into self-blame towards myself. Why do I feel hurt about such things and have a hard time, why am I like this, I spend each and every day with these feelings but when we had the fansign this time round, I read a letter which I received and there was one sentence that comforted me.
If you ask what was written, it was "I know very well that it is impossible for Doyoungie to not feel hurt, so I can't say don't feel hurt but I hope that you can spend that (time) resolutely and have the strength take it in stride."
When I saw that line, the thought that "all this while, I thought of this job as one for me to show myself off, to receive love and evaluation, but there are actually people who guessed even my pain and worry about me" came to mind & it gave me comfort.
It was that thought and the whole process of preparing for this concert which accompanied me that became a source of comfort to me and saved me.
Perhaps it's because it was a concert with those meanings, I cried quite a bit without even realizing it. hh
Really thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for being together with us yesterday and today Thank you for giving me strength and helping me live.
With the thought that a day like this with us performing at such a huge concert venue may not come again, I'm going to remember today for a long, long time. As much as I hate that my memory is limited, I want to remember today for a really, really long time

190819 GRAZIA Magazine September Issue - Interview with Doyoung
Translation by @nctdaoying (Twitter) / take out with credit.
Editor’s note: “I sat face-to-face with NCT’s Doyoung, a person who wants to sing for a long time, and during the time (I sat facing him), I saw a new face which I have never seen before.”
ISAC
Q: I heard that you took part in the recording for Idol Sports Athletic Championships (ISAC) yesterday?
A: Yes, I competed in the archery competition.
Q: Actually, aren’t you the member who doesn’t like to move the most? You made a huge decision (to participate in ISAC).
A: At least I was in a sport that required me to move the least, hahaha.
Q: Can we look forward to an outstanding performance then?
A: Previously, we won the silver medal for archery in the ISAC New Year Special. This time round, I practiced a lot for archery whenever I had the time, so I think it’s worth looking forward to.
Q: So you actually practiced.
A: All of the idol group members who participated in ISAC practiced. Personally, I really looked forward to it as we specially practiced a lot this time round. And the archery teacher felt that it was a pity that we got silver the last time round so she/he put in even more effort to teach us this time round.
NEOCITY Tour - learning point, memorable moment, time spent on flights, favourite shows
Q: Since January this year, you have been touring round the world, from Seoul to North America, then to South America, Asia, and even Europe. Since you have been touring for over 6 months, did you learn a lot?
A: Personally, I think that our team has grown a lot. I have been busy for more than half of the year. Especially for our U.S. tour, I performed once every two days so it was physically demanding for me. However, I believe that this sort of difficulty is a process for growth. Also, thanks to the support of the fans, I was able to overcome this period of difficulty, both mentally and physically. Through this world tour, I felt just how precious the fans are once again. I really thought of them as great comfort which helped me to endure.
Q: Please share with us if there was an especially memorable moment during the tour.
A: The Atlanta stop was especially memorable. The venue where we had our concert was the venue where many pop artistes, whom we recognise just by hearing their names, have held their concerts, and their photos were hanging on the wall of the corridor (where the waiting rooms were located). Among them, they only give the “SOLD OUT” sign to the artistes who have sold out their concerts. So thankfully, we sold out our concert as well and had the sign on our photo too, and because of that it felt really strange (to me).
Q: While you were on tour, the distance you travelled must have been really long and you must have spent a lot of time on the plane. What do you do during the flights?
A: I love watching dramas so I downloaded a lot of movies and dramas. But because we didn’t have a lot of time to rest while on tour, I spent most of my time on the plane sleeping.
Q: Are there any necessities that you’d bring along?
A: (My) iPad and airpods to watch dramas. Other than those, nothing else (laughs)
Q: What are the works (movies/dramas) that you like watching recently?
A: Not too long ago, I really enjoyed watching <Search: WWW>. And also even though I might sound like I am promoting my brother (actor Gongmyung), he’s appearing on a new drama recently. I wouldn’t have mentioned it if I thought that it’s not interesting, but I think <Melo is My Nature> is really interesting (laughs).
King of Masked Singer (KOMS), thoughts on his own voice/singing, and cover videos
Q: We can’t go without talking about how you recently became a hot topic after appearing on KOMS and winning 3 rounds with over 70 votes, to go straight to the final deciding round against the Masked King.
A: While on tour, I was preparing for (my performance) even though I was really busy and often lacked the energy as well, but I felt that it was a special experience. Because I love singing originally, so I felt really happy throughout this whole process. To be truthful, KOMS is a programme which I have always wanted to appear on since I was a trainee. Since that was the case, I also had the desire of getting good results. However, as the filming date neared, I started thinking that it was more important for me to truly enjoy the process. So mainly with the songs I love and sing well, I appeared on the show.
Q: Usually, before you appear on KOMS, you will have to keep it a secret, so how was it? Did you keep this a secret from the NCT members?
A: Because I had to prepare, there were members who saw me going out in the wee hours to practice, and asked about it. There were times I replied them truthfully, but there were also members who didn’t ask about it till the end. So those friends will find out for the first time when the show broadcasts, hahaha.
Q: How did the members react after watching the broadcast?
A: To be honest, as compared to my singing, the members paid more attention to the sexy dance I did as my personal talent. Maybe because it had already become a hot topic, so they were busy teasing me about it (laughs).
Q: From the recent interviews I saw, I can tell that you really love your own voice.
A: When I was young, I always wanted my voice to sound unique. I felt that it wasn’t that special and wished that I had my own (vocal) colour. So I’d imitate those singers whom people could recognise after just hearing a small verse - those people their own unique vocal colour. But as time passed, I came to think that the voice should be something like mine, one that people wouldn’t hate or love at first listen, but rather a voice that people can listen to comfortably. Now, I like my voice (smiles).
Q: Your singing ability is one that has been recognised by all. After looking through the NCT Music YouTube Channel, it seems to me that you mainly cover female singers’ songs? Is there a special reason for that?
A: There is no special reason. I just wanted to showcase something that is different from the original singers - I think the beauty of a cover is that I get to add my own colour (to the song). When I cover female singers, I can choose to lower my range or add my own colour (to the song) freely, so that’s why I choose to cover them frequently. And also because they simply are my favourite artistes.
Q: When I watched your cover videos, I discovered that you have a lot of different concepts for them, and it seems like you put a lot of thought into them.
A: I am the type of person who will prepare a lot if I have something that I want to do. For example, I will contemplate a lot over things like whether or not to use a mic when I’m singing, or what type of mic I should use, and whether I need to film the video after recording my singing. Although the song is very important as well, I’d also actively express my opinion on what sort of video would suit me best.
Travelling with Gongmyung
Q: Not too long ago, your brother Gongmyung mentioned that travelling with you is something that is on his bucket list. Did you know about this plan of his?
A: Even though my brother always talks about travelling together, it is really hard to find a day where the both of us are on break. But regardless of when the time comes, I definitely want to go someday. I also think it’d be interesting to show our trip through a reality show.
Q: If the two of you can travel together, where would you like to go to?
A: Actually, it doesn’t matter where we go. Although my hyung and I don’t particularly like to drink, we’re the type who would still drink a little (laughs). So I think travelling together to find the specialty liquors unique to different areas will be fun.
Life Motto & photoshoot
Q: I heard that your motto is “let’s live like myself”. So how is it like to be living like Doyoung?
A: I’m the type who firmly believes that I can do well and lives while thinking positively. For example, I would think of things like “I am doing great now” or “I am cool” when I have a photoshoot. I strive to do my best in believing in myself.
Q: So what sort of thoughts did you have when you had your photoshoot just now?
A: Hahaha, to be honest, I was a little embarrassed just now. The staff’s cheers were amazing… (laughs)
Something special to Doyoung
Q: What is something that is special only to Doyoung?
A: It may be the same for other singers, but I really love singing. I have come to the conclusion that when I am going through a hard time or feel tired, I am only able to overcome them simply because of my love for singing, and because of the fans’ support for me.
Ultimate goal in life & artiste he envisions himself to be
Q: This may be a big question, but what is Doyoung’s ultimate goal in life?
A: There are people who I have acknowledged as the artistes of my life since I was young. I have been listening to the songs of Park Hyoshin, Adam Levine, Oasis, and Taeyeon sunbae-nim since young, so if I become a great vocal in the future, a great deal of credit has to go to them. Even though I may add more people in the future, I think to sing like them is my iron rule and goal in life.
Q: What kind of artiste do you envision yourself to be?
A: Rather than doing music that (only) I like, my dream is to do music that people who listen to it also like. I wish to perform in many more places, with many more songs, and have an enjoyable time with many more people.
Next dream?
Q: The person whose dream since young is to become a singer has already realised his dream. What is your next dream?
A: Maybe not to the extent of directing, but I would like to challenge planning a concert. Even though I am still lacking now and I am still not at the level of being able to lay out something concrete, I hope that one day I can be someone who can express and share my own opinions when I am preparing for my own concert.
(I really want to say that I’m really touched and heartened by how much Doyoung has improved in terms of his Chinese language proficiency... I am honestly still very impressed by how much he understands...Also note that the comments below are 80% written in Mandarin T_T)
- “I am Doyoung.”
- “My Mandarin is very good.”
- “I am better at Mandarin than Winwin.”
- “I am slow (at typing Mandarin).”
- “I love you.”
- “I like you.”
- “I miss you guys always.”
- “Your (fans’) Korean is very good.”
- “You guys are so fast (at typing).”
- “Very happy.”
- “红咪 ㅋㅋㅋ” (t/n: there’s no translation for this because he mis-typed the second Chinese character which should be 味. ‘红味’ will mean ‘red flavor’.)
- “It’s really hot.”
- “Red Flavor” (t/n: he corrected his mistake and sent it again!)
- “I want to go to Jiufen.” (t/n: Jiufen is a place in Taiwan)
- “I like NCTzens ㅋㅋㅋ”
- “I went there before.” (t/n: he was probably referring to Jiufen? or Taiwan?)
- “I want to go to 101 too.” (t/n: he was referring to Taipei 101)
- “I want to eat mango shaved ice.”
- “I am a new learner of Mandarin.”
(Winwin was uploading photos from this point onwards.)
- “How’s the photo?” (t/n: Doyoung used 皂 [zao] which means soap instead of 照 [zhao] so 照片 [zhao pian] which means ‘photo’ became [zao pian]... it sounds extremely cute when read out in Mandarin.)
- “Thank you for your compliments.”
- “Winwin!!! Quick quick!! My photo!” (t/n: he’s still using [zao pian])
- “Winwin is still uploading photos.” (t/n:...still [zao pian])
(Taeil and Winwin spamming heart emojis)
- “Sorry, I want to send you all the heart emojis too but the computer isn’t working.”
(After a moment)
- “I can do it too ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡”
- “I am not a bunny.”
- “I am a man.”
(Fans were still sending in rabbit emojis and Winwin even sent ‘Bunny party’)
- “Bunny...stop.”
- “You guys listen (to me) so well.”
- “我是摔男人” (t/n: he typed wrongly again so this directly translates to “I am a falling man etc. The word 摔 can mean fall or drop?)
- “I am a handsome man.” (t/n: he corrected his mistake!!!)
- “Once if enough for Doyoung’s Korean time.” (t/n: he was going to switch to typing in Korean at this point in time)
(A bunch of comments by Doyoung talking about how the Chinese fans’ mastery of the Korean language is impressive // I didn’t screenshot those so I’m not too sure what are his exact words.)
- “Sorry, time to challenge Mandarin again.”
- “I want NCT’s language.”
-“I know now.” (t/n: I have no idea what he knows...)
- “Honestly, I think that the Korean language is really hard, so I want to applaud NCTzens for being this good.”
(Winwin changes a sad song to Cherry Bomb)
- “The song is really good.”
- “Don’t be angry (for the change in song).”
- “Even if we go now, you’ll see us again.”
- “Don’t worry.”
- “Good night.”
- “Goodbye. See you next time, wo ai ni (I love you). Sleep well, sijeuni.”
- “Goodbye.”

OP and her friends sat in the first row today, and the seats were directly opposite the MC seats. He was right in front of and super close to them when he was waiting to emcee or resting.
1. Before the opening, he kept interacting with the fans. There were a lot of NCT fans present at today’s live recording, and he looked really happy to see them. Since OP and her friends (plus NCT fans) were sitting right in front, they called his name and he looked at them. He saw OP’s fan (as shown below in the photo) and asked her, “what is this?” He also asked them, “are you Japanese?” and they said, “No, we are from China.” He then apologised, said “ni hao (hello in Chinese)” to them and they replied, “It’s okay~ We love you~” And he replied saying “I love you all too” TT
2. Doyoung’s really expressive, he keeps doing small actions and his face has a lot of expressions hahaha. OP says that he looks way more handsome in real life than on camera! (Her exact words are: “The real person looks way more handsome! Great skin and small face! I really really love his purple hair this comeback!)
3. During MAMAMOO’s stage, he was sitting at his MC seat alone. At first, he was watching the screen diligently, but halfway through the performance he suddenly acted like he was shocked by the fanchant of MAMAMOO’s fans!! Then he looked at where all the NCT fans were sitting at and acted like he was shocked again, like he was trying to tell them he really was surprised. OP added on saying he’s way too cute today.
4. Today, there was a comedian (she was talking about Park Soo Hong) who kind of emceed, he released a song as well. He was the first artiste that the MCs introduced, and after the rehearsal, Doyoung turned to him immediately, bowed and shook hands with him. They also spoke for a while~ OP said Doyoung was really polite and has great manners.
5. NCT pre-recorded again for today, and because Doyoung is the MC for Inkigayo, he danced a little bit of Cherry Bomb and ran off the stage (during the live show where NCT was performing Cherry Bomb live but that performance isn’t the broadcasted one) before his part even came on. After leaving the stage, he stood at the side and kept on dancing/moving along to the music and he also raised up his hands to cheer. If any of the members (still performing on stage) looked towards him, he’d pretend that the members weren’t dancing well by shaking his head hahaha
6. Doyoung really dislikes the heat haha. Initially, the staff didn’t give him the mini fan so he was fanning himself really hard using his hands. Rowoon then passed him his own mini fan, and Doyoung looked so happy for a moment. Then the staff came and gave him another mini fan, and he happily returned Rowoon’s his.
7. Doyoung looked really great in his emcee outfit today, he wore a blouse outside. But his initially tucked blouse kept on becoming un-tucked so the staff kept on helping him with his outfit.
