10: If you were to go on MBC’s ‘We Got Married’, is there anyone that you would want as a partner?
Woohyun: Orange Caramel. Since they have three people, we’ll send three people. Hoya and me, and Sungjong seems to like them too.
10: What do kind of mind do you have when you record a variety show with a girl group?
Woohyun: We should pretend to be playful.
Sungyeol: Like, it’s our true meanings, but pretending to be playful? Hahaha
Dongwoo: Are you sure you’re not pretending to be truthful when it’s a joke/play?
Woohyun: I do a lot of playful actions on the camera. Saying stuff like, “There shouldn’t be any reason needed to liking someone”.
Sungyeol: That’s a restricted video for fans.
10: Sunggyu-ssi, you were couples with 4minute’s Jiyoon in MBC’s ‘Bouquet’ , Sistar’s Soyu in MBC every1’s ‘Children of the Night’ and participated in MNET’s ‘Scandal’.
Sungyeol: He’s the scandal maker.
Sunggyu: The person I like changes for every show I do. I’m serious then, and really do love them. Although, once it’s over and I come back to the dorms, I like my members more!
10: I think Sungjong-sshi is the person who’s the least nervous when meeting female celebrities during recordings.
Sunggyu: Because he has confidence. Because he knows that his looks aren’t common.
Infinite: Euhahaha!
Sungyeol: Because he knows that he’ll be liked no matter where he goes!
Sungjong: Ah.. I become like this.
Hoya: I’m a bit on the shy side, but since Sungjong goes around and plays well with girl group members, he told me to follow him one time and he tried getting me to talk with a girl group member. Out of nowhere, making me burdened!
Sungyeol: For me, I wanted to become friendlier with them too, so I asked him to take me with him and play together. So, he dragged me and just made me stand, then the two of them [Sungjong and the girl group member] just kept talking by theirselves.
Woohyun: Sungjongie, what do you talk about with them?
Sungjong: I talk about a variety of things. ‘Noona, I watched the program well. That was really good.’ Stuff like that.
Woohyun: Wah, are you just talking about it even after not seeing it [the program]?
Sunggyu: Truthfully, Woohyun’s social skills are very good too. But Woohyun’s the type that thinks about what to talk about and then goes to talk to them, so if the conversation gets changed, he gets flustered like, ‘Ah this is bad. What do I do!’. Sungjong is just born with it.
Sungyeol: I really thought he was amazing when I saw it. His social skills are the best. He went to Miss A’s Min-sshi and started off with, “Noona, I danced ‘Breathe”, then she replied with, “Oh, really?”. Then after 5 minutes later, he starts speaking informally with her.
Sungjong: That’s why you guys should talk with them when I bring you. Because I don’t know what to do as a third person.
10: You filmed Mnet’s ‘Infinite! You Are My Oppa’ before debut.
Woohyun: Oh, I don’t want to think about it again!
10: When you think about that time, what do you regret the most?
Woohyun: My looks! There was a different person from me. My bangs looked weird, I was chubby, and my skin wasn’t great.
Sungyeol: My shaved side of the head too.
Dongwoo: My speech. I couldn’t understand what I was saying. And after debut, I wasn’t called my name a lot. It’s always ‘Kenyan’.
L: They asked if he was really a Kenyan, and he stutters his words and can’t speak Korean well. What’s worse is that he was born in Seoul too.
Hoya: I think I had too much greed. They gave me a quiet ‘Busan male’ concept in the beginning, but since I thought that my cuts wouldn’t come out, I talked a lot during the first recording. It really made everyone laugh at the scene. But it was all edited out from the broadcast! And my speaking didn’t even come out, but on the captions it said, ‘big mouth [talking a lot]’. Wow, it was the first time I was called a big mouth. And I later heard that they edited it out because it just wasn’t something that a rookie should be saying. Ah…
Sungyeol: But what we felt when we monitored the 1st episode, was that no matter how much we talked or didn’t talk, the motionless L got more screentime than us.
Sungjong: The writer hyung had promised me that he would create a daebak [amazing, great in this case] thing at the end, but I don’t know what I was thinking when I recorded it. My mind to record my best was going ahead too.
Hoya: When we were recording the 1st episode, me and Sungjong were the stars, but we gradually disappeared from the screen…
10: Then who do you think was the largest beneficiary from the program?
Hoya: Sungyeol. It was Sungyeol’s prime time then. When I went to the fancafe, there were only talks about Sungyeol. Sungyeol oppa, Sungyeol oppa. Until the album came out. Haha.
10: What happened afterwards?
L: Sungyeol’s fans slowly came to us. Haha.
Woohyun: We thankfully took them. But if we were to do a reality program again, I could do much better.
10: If you were to do another variety program, what kind of concept would you like to try out?
Hoya: Something like MBC every1’s ‘Idol Army’. Not because a different girl group will come out each time, but because we can show something every week. A dance or song, games, things like that. But I would like it if we didn’t film it at the dorms. It’s really tiring.
