Is there something you always bring when youâre on tour?
Have you been out with one of the members recently?
What are you addicted to right now?
What makes you the most relaxed?
Whatâs something you want to eat when it gets cold?
Whatâs something you always do before you sleep?
Whatâs your goal for 2016?Â
I was honestly so honored. When I looked at the crowd from the stage, I was just overfilled with emotion and ended up crying⌠The more concerts we had, the more happy I became.Â
During the Tokyo show, I showed the fans my body as part of the performance right? To do so, even after coming to Japan, I exercised day and night with my trainer!
During the last chorus, the stage rises up, but I got too excited and I thought I was going to fall! It was really scary (T_T)
I always keep the couple ring that I made the promise to the fans with close to me.
On my off days, Iâm with Sehun a lot! Working out together, eating together, watching movies with each otherâŚheâs really like a true brother to me and weâre always around each other a lot!
These days, Iâm really into exercising and Iâve been working hard on it! Iâm also into talking with my friends that have the same kind of music taste as me, and we compose songs as well.
When I say âSaranghaja!â With the members!
I love Janchi Guksu! Itâs perfect for the winter!
A goal for EXO is to have a tour again in Japan. I want to release more Japanese songs! I want to do a bunch more stuff in Japan. I also want to do a world tour so I can meet up with fans around the world. Personally, I want to feature in someoneâs song and maybe give acting a go!
Iâm still so touched by the experience. I really appreciate all of the fans, and I was able to spend a very happy time thanks to everyone! Iâll work even harder so that I can enjoy this time again with you guys in 2016!
On the last day of our Tokyo concerts, I wanted to show off my new Japanese that I learned, so I changed the MC part last minute. However, I forgot everything that I was going to say and couldnât say anything⌠(T_T)
From the moment that the intro played, the Japanese fans screamed really loudly and filled up the excitement level, therefore I was able to stand on the stage with confidence! I only have good memories of it!
Slippers! In the waiting room, when I get catering, or even when Iâm in the hallways, Iâm always wearing slippers, so I always bring a pair with me when Iâm on tour.
We got to go shopping with all of the members after a really long time! We ate delicious ramen too~
These days, Iâm really working hard on vocal lessons and training. Also, video games as always. >.<
Honestly saying, itâs when Iâm playing video games with Kai! (lol)
Samgyetang. Whenever it gets cold I want to eat it. I want to eat it now too.
I always make sure to brush my teeth before I sleep!
For a goal as a group, I want to stay with all of the members together forever. For me personally, I want to become a well-rounded entertainer. Not only singing, but I want to try all kinds of genres in this industry.
I canât forget even to this moment how much I was shaking the moment our first dome concert started. I got to stand on a stage that many of the artists I respect have stood on, and Iâm truly honored. After the solo dome tour that was something of my dreams, I still have happy feelings, but I also have sad feelings as well.
I went to Akihabara! From buying figurines of my favorite manga to playing around in a huge arcade, I did a whole bunch! I ate some really good ramen too!
Since I watch Japanese dramas quite often, I didnât think that the Japanese lyrics were all that hard. Iâm really happy that we finally got to release a Japanese EXO song!
My laptop. I always have it with me so that when I get an idea for a song, I can easily record it.
I usually hang out with Sehun a lot, but I donât think Iâve been able to go out outside of work these daysâŚ(cry)
I started watching a Japanese drama called âEngineâ and Iâm starting to get interested into racing. Also, Iâve always been addicted to âOne Pieceâ, and I donât think I can ever stop being addicted to it. (lol)
When Iâm writing songs, or listening to music. I usually donât feel too much stress, but when I think too much or do feel stress, those emotions usually appear in my music.
Taiyaki! When I was small, I loved the taiyaki my parents would buy me on cold days, so when itâs cold, it makes me want to eat it outside.
I close my eyes and look back at my day. What good things happened, what bad things happenedâŚetc., and I summarize the day while I drift off to sleep.
Not just limiting it to 2016, but I want to stay with all of the members forever as EXO and make all of our fans happy! For a personal goal, I want to make a song that makes the listener feel happy.
All of the guests that prepared diligently, and everyone of EXO-L JAPAN looked like they were having so much fun, therefore I got to see everyoneâs smiles and that put me in a very happy mood.
I love finding delicious things, and searching for delicious restaurants. So even during the Japan tour, after the concerts in the different areas in Japan, I was really happy because I got to eat so much good stuff! The moments that you eat delicious food are the best donât you think?
The song is actually my favorite out of all of the EXO songs, so Iâm really glad that the Japanese fans liked it too! I always have great fun when I perform the song on stage!
I actually donât have a âI always bring thisâ item to concert toursâŚ.
I havenât been able to go out outside of work at allâŚ
Iâve been practicing my Japanese a lot! (He told us in Japanese!)
Iâm relaxed the most when Iâm laying around in my room alone.
When it gets cold, I want to eat steaming hot ochazuke.
HmâŚwhen I take a shower and lie down, I always get sleepy in an instant.
For a goal as EXO, I want us to become a group thatâs loved by even more people. And to make that happen, us members will really work hard this 2016 and forever on! And personally, I want to study languages more. English, Japanese, Chinese, I want to learn them all!
Simply said, it felt great. Also, it became my motivation to work harder to make more entertaining and memorable concerts for everyone.
Since the Dome is so huge, it was a big hassle going to change outfits! My feet hurt too⌠And although it was a bit scary between songs when the lights all turned off, the scenery with all of the lights was really pretty and I caught myself staring.
Since âLove Me Right ~romantic universe~ is towards the end of the show, it was actually really tiring⌠(haha)
Underwear. I always bring it all the way to the concert. Since I have a performance where I get soaked in water, underwear is a necessity. (lol)
I went shopping in Fukuoka! Itâs always really fun shopping for clothes.
Singing!!!!! Iâll work harder, so please anticipate! And Japanese!!!!! I want to get better at it!!!
I like thinking alone. I like flying off to my own world and imagining a bunch of different things, and getting inspiration from it.
I want to eat Chicken Baeksuk. "When itâs cold, I want to eat warm chickenâŚâ Itâs a thought that every human has right?
I take a shower, watch soccer, watch YouTube, then sleep. But, you need to think about sleeping before you sleep~ Everyone please remember that~ (lol)
I want to continue EXO with all of the members happily. And I also want more people to listen to our songs! Personally, I want to show more of myself out to people. I want to become a person that will leave an impression on people!
I think that our dome tour was really successful because of the amazing fans of EXO-L JAPAN, so thank you so much! Also, thank you to those who support us in the shadows. And members, good work guys!
I canât forget the scenery of the crowd that I saw while I was on stage. It was really fresh seeing how the fans would clap for us after every song.
I was really happy that I was able to perform our first Japanese song in front of all the fans!
I always bring my tablet with me. I watch funny videos or play on it in my free time. Sometimes I watch my own performances too.
I went to the movies with Suho-ssi. (lol) I go to the movies a lot with Suho-ssi.
These days Iâm addicted to planning out what Iâm going to do in my limited free time. I watch lots of movies, eat delicious food, and even do some bowling and table tennis.
When Iâm listening to music while taking a shower!
Bibim Guksu, Patbingsu, and Sashimi.
I want every one of our members to be successful in what they do, and I also want us to grow more as a group. Also, I want to do a tour in Japan again in 2016! For a personal goal, I have too many things that I want to do that I canât explain them all hereâŚ. Iâll progress with each goal one by one, so will you please watch over me by my side? ^^
I couldnât believe it because I was so happy, but when I actually stood up on stage, it was a whole different world. I became so nervous that my legs were trembling, but as the concert progressed, I had so much fun! Therefore, I decided to have as much fun as I could!
I had a solo dance for âThe Starâ, but I panicked because I couldnât find my cane I used for the dance! But âPrince Kaiâ who was below the stage at such perfect timing picked up my cane and gave it to me. And so my solo dance went on fine!
Korean, Chinese, and Japanese lyrics were all mixed up in my head so if I wasnât focusing hard enough, I wasnât sure which version I was singing. (lol)
Health products like vitamins! To work hard on the stage until the end, vitamins are a necessity!
HmâŚwell, Iâve already been addicted to exercising, bread and coffee, but I havenât found anything else to get addicted to. I am trying to find one though!
When Iâm exercising. Of course itâs tiring physically, but since it gets rid of my problems, I think itâs my way of relieving stress! I think I have an exercising addiction. (lol)
Patjuk, Mandu, Guo Guo, Ramen, and warm coffee.
Itâs not like I donât do anything, but I just lay around and think about the next dayâs plans in my head.
To meet more people, I want to do a nationwide tour in Japan! And then, I want to study more and more Japanese, so that next time we have a tour, I can communicate with the fans in Japanese.
The Dome is a dream stage, and it was the same for EXO, so I thought that being able to perform at the Dome was a really big honor. Additionally, it was just breathtaking. Above all, I just want to give words of appreciation to everyone thatâs a part of EXO-L JAPAN.
This time our tour started in Seoul, however, before we went up on stage for the encore, I cried really bad⌠I still remember singing âPromiseâ after that.
How to express the lyricsâŚwas the most difficult for me. Since the pronunciation is so difficult, I was worried that the fans wouldnât understand what I was saying, so I focused a whole lot.
Water! I was always have it near me so I donât get thirsty and ruin my voice.
When we were in Fukuoka for our concert, we went shopping with all of the members and also ate dinner together! Since itâd been so, so long since weâd done something like that, we got to talk a lot and it was fun.
These days, Iâm really interested in traveling. We went to Fiji for filming, but it made me want to go to so many other places. I want to go on a hot spring vacation in Japan too of course!
I think itâs when Iâm singing. Whatever emotions I have, when I sing, I relax.
Warm udon, and oden! Taiyaki and Hotteok is really good too~ itâs my favorite winter snack!
I turn all of the lights off. Even the smallest light bothers me, and sometimes I canât sleep because of itâŚ
As a goal for EXO, I want to be more active globally! And for a goal thatâs more personal, I want to star in a musical again. Last year was my first time being in a musical, and it was so fun and taught me a bunch of things!
