TAEIL
Q: It’s been exactly 1 month since your song was released, how do you feel about that? TI: It is all new and interesting. We were standing on real stage, not in our practice room, so I discovered some points I’m lacking at and I think I can do better in future.
Q: Is there something in NCT members that you are envy of? TI: Mark’s fresh charms. (laughs) Mark’s personality is so positive and flawless.
Q: It is rather unusual, that your solo song, OST for drama “The Merchant: Gaekju” was released first. TI: It was a great chance that I’ve got for the first time during Rookies, and I took it. It was a big responsibility because the audience would listen to this song and form an opinion about Rookies through it, but also I was really excited for that.
Q: Do you still feel anxious standing in front of cameras? TI: I watched myself and I noticed I have quite a solemn look during the broadcast. (laughs) So now I do image trainings to perform on broadcasts being relaxed.
Q: Just like line from your song says, “Take my hand”; when you are having hard times do you have people who would take your hand through it? TI: It’s NCT U members and my sister who’s 3 years younger than me. Sometimes we would talk over the phone, she can both talk to me and can listen well too.
Q: Imagine you need to write a diary entry for December 31st, 2016 TI: I would write about all the work that have been done during the year. Also I think I would write down my honest thoughts on how to improve in future.
TAEYONG:
Q: It’s been exactly 1 month since your song was released, how do you feel about that? TY: It was an entirely new experience to me so I had so many thoughts about everything. I’m working on forming a basis to show an improved image of myself in future.
Q: Is there something in NCT members that you are envy of? TY: I have skin problems, it’s very susceptible to damage even if I simply get exposed to stage lights, so I envy Jaehyun’s bright skin complexion.
Q: Is it a burden to you that you are the one who starts the song? TY: When I’ve heard “The 7th Sense” for the first time I loved it a lot. I thought my voice really suits the song. I was confident I will do well. Performing live is really hard, but I’m practicing.
Q: Taeyong who had a long trainee period, who do you think became the most handsome member? TY: It’s Mark. He entered as a trainee during the 2nd year of middle school, and he was really a gentle little child. Now he’s got a body that is better than mine, became manly and really cool.
Q: When do you look best, when you wake up in the morning or before going to sleep? TY: After the schedule ends, I see my face in bathroom mirror and I think it’s condition is the best at those times. (laughs)
Q: Imagine you need to write a diary entry for December 31st, 2016 TY: We usually have a year-end party together with company workers, artists and trainee friends. This year I want to attend this party as already debuted professional artist NCT U and have a great fun with everyone.
MARK:
Q: It’s been exactly 1 month since your song was released, how do you feel about that? M: Everything was so strange and new and fun. I’m still lacking in many ways, so there is a lot of stuff that is difficult to me, but even at such imperfect stage there is a lot of interesting things. In future I want, just like during this past month, watch, learn and experience more.
Q: Is there something in NCT members that you are envy of? M: Charms of Taeil hyung. He is really charming, and he is a person who is loved by everyone.
Q: Best part of being the youngest in a group? M: Everyone likes me, if I appear in a situation in which don’t know anything I have a lot of people to ask, and there is not much burden on me either. I have a lot of hyungs by my side so I feel really confident.
Q: Cute or handsome? What do you prefer to hear? M: I don’t know. (laughs) If I have to chose, I’d prefer to be called cute. Actually to be honest I like both.
Q: What do you think your strongest points, your weapon as a rapper? M: It’s not just about being a rapper, singing on stage, dancing, playing musical instruments - everything was great. So I am practicing constantly to learn more. I heard they say, that persistence is the key, so I will say persistence is my weapon.
Q: Imagine you need to write a diary entry for December 31st, 2016 M: Pretty much the same as I write to myself sometimes, I think I would write about not losing my purpose for this one year, and that I hope I will keep enjoying music and performing on stage as always. Also since my mom’s birthday is in December, I would also write about getting a gift for her on money that I would earn. (laughs)
DOYOUNG
Q: It’s been exactly 1 month since your song was released, how do you feel about that? DY: After the song was released I was counting down to the D-day, our first broadcast, and the time was going really slow. But after that one month flew by so fast. And I was so happy during this entire month.
Q: Is there something in NCT members that you are envy of? DY: As an artist I wish I could perform on stage with the same strong stage presence as Taeyong hyung has. Thanks to Taeyong hyung’s charisma our performances look even more impressive. I am grateful to him and it is something I would like to have myself.
Q: What is NCT U strongest point, that other boy groups don’t have? DY: Other boy groups have their certain character since the time they are introduced. NCT U “unlimited borders unlimited members” concept allows us to show variety of different sides of us to people, and I believe this is our secret weapon and our main charm. When I heard about our team character at first, I thought it was rather unusual, but as I thought more about it, it does boost our confidence.
Q: Your hyung Gongmyung, who is also a performer, have he congratulated you on your debut? What did you guys talked about? DY: He is 2 years older than me, he is very affectionate and caring person. From our first performance at “Music Bank” till our radio appearance, he have watched it all. He sent me a message in which he said, let’s both get successful in future, so we can fulfil our filial duty to our parents as soon as possible. We communicate with hyung quite often usually. I am very grateful to him.
Q: Your two songs both have a very different feeling. Which song do you like more? DY: Honestly, it’s like asking do you love your mom or your dad more. I like “Without You” more. (laughs) Until now I am awkward in trying to look cool on stage. While I can perform “Without You” while smiling widely and it will look totally natural.
Q: Imagine you need to write a diary entry for December 31st, 2016 DY: I hope I will spend year-end party together with NCT U members. I like to dream big, so I hope we will also get the Best Rookie award. As well I hope we will be working hard to present audience a totally different image of us. Prepare for the new album. And I hope that we will keep practicing songs and do everything with a great enjoyment.
JAEHYUN
Q: It’s been exactly 1 month since your song was released, how do you feel about that? JH: I haven’t quite realize it yet. It was a very short but such a significant month. I keep thinking that I have to work even harder in future.
Q: Is there something in NCT members that you are envy of? JH: Ten hyung’s flexibility. Starting from our first lessons together his stretching was on a totally different level from everyone. I am jealous of it since I saw it for the first time.
Q: During this one year since your Rookies time MC-ing you obviously have grown so much. You look so manly now. JH: While diligently preparing for debut, I have practiced a lot things that were different from my trainee days. Once we got assigned a song and a choreo that suited us, I did my best in order to absorb it. I’ve searched for a new image of myself.
Q: Your dad, who shared with you music to listen since your early years, what did he say about “The 7th Sense” after he listened to it? JH: He said it is some new genre and that he likes it a lot. Although of course it is a kind of song that is unusual to him. (laughs)
Q: You look like a very decent young man. JH: You know, members, who I am close with, and my friends too don’t say this a lot. (laughs) Although I try to live my life in a right way, I have a careless side of me too.
Q: Do you have a secret recipe of making pork friend rice? JH: It’s my mom’s dish. I was curious on how to make it every time my mom would serve it, so I asked her. I tried to make it myself a few times before I managed to get it right. I’ve always liked cooking so I do look for recipes as well.
Q: Imagine you need to write a diary entry for December 31st, 2016 JH: It’s just a wish, but can it be that we will get the Best Rookie award? (laughs) Since debut we’ve worked hard without regrets during this year, I hope we will be proud of ourselves and as well I hope I will have a lot of expectations of myself to meet in future.
TEN
Q: It’s been exactly 1 month since your song was released, how do you feel about that? T: Every time we would do a performance there was a lot of things I’d learn. I dreamt about becoming a singer in Korea after watching Super Junior, and sometimes I can’t quite believe this is happening. As time goes by I slowly come to a realization that we’ve debuted.
Q: Is there something in NCT members that you are envy of? T: Doyoung hyung’s Korean speech. (laughs) There is a lot of thing I would want to say but it is still difficult to me. I am jealous watching hyung so easily expressing himself.
Q: If your Thai friends would come to Seoul whaere would you recommend them to go? T: I haven’t been there myself, but I would want to go Jeju island together with them. And also Bukchon hanok village, because such scenery is so much different from Thailand traditional buildings.
Q: What places in Thailand are must-visit? T: I love the sea. When I was a child me and my family would go to islands on every holidays. I’d recommend to go to Phuket. I love swimming and I would want to go snorkeling (diving) too.
Q: Usual you seem to be a very playful boy, yet on stage you appear very chic. T: Both sides are me, Ten. But me being bright and playful is probably more myself. Usually when I laugh and when I don’t set a very different atmosphere that it even may cause misunderstandings. Like I would be in a totally fine mood but someone will ask “Ten, are you angry?”.
Q: Imagine you need to write a diary entry for December 31st, 2016 T: I would write about what things I do well after debut compared to my trainee life, and what on what lacking points I can work to improve, I would analyze everything that happened during the past year and write it all down.
