[TRANS] Oh Wonbin “with FTISLAND’s Song Seunghyun, still keeping in touch”
------------- (omitted for the parts that mentioned FTISLAND)
Its been 7 years since he left FTISLAND. When he was asked by the pictorial team about the difference between solo pictorial and group pictorial, he replied, “When I took pictures as a group, it was by nature hard. When I do solo pictorial in the state of not knowing anything, it will be very worrisome. During the 7 years (that I left the group), in the last 2 years, I was in a hiatus, so it was very burdensome.”
The FTISLAND’s former member was asked if he feels lonely now (because of going solo), and he answered, “I dont regret my decision to leave. Rather, I like it now. When I was still in a team, I was able to earn success, but now, I am satisfied by just being able to be myself.”
When he was asked how did he cope with the last 2 years he went on hiatus, if he went through some hardships, he said, “what I found hard the most was that I missed going on stage to perform. I have become accustomed to being alone, that since then, I have heard of of people talking that I have become reluctant to meet people. Since then, I have become distant to other people, and I was mostly at home or at school. I attended school, and even though its not much, I write songs, and I still released album in Japan,” he recalled.
After successfully completing a concert and being cast for a movie, “In the last two years, I have lost things while rested, but now, I want to learn more about things that I dont know with an earnest feeling. Instead of music, now, I want to focus more on being an actor. In my head, there is only thoughts to always work hard,” he said.
