INFINITE interview [Donga News]



▶ The masculine image is more comfortable for us, but the responses to the brighter image was better.



-Between the masculine image shown through the song ‘BTD’ and the bright and cute image shown now, which one do you prefer?
“I like the bright and cute concept better.” (L)
“Honestly, I think the bright image is awkward. I think I’m more comfortable with the masculine image, but the responses to the brighter one was better. The fans like my bright image.” (Sunggyu)


-What are the requirements to being a cute man?
 “It’s important to follow through with your own style. It’s not by standards, but expressing yourself.” (Sunggyu)
(Then L copied the cute choreography of Sunggyu’s part in which he does on stage). “L always makes fun of my part in the choreography. It’s also a form of advice for me to make my choreography look cuter on stage.” (Sunggyu)

“Leader (Sunggyu) hyung has aegyo surprisingly. When he’s tough, he’s tough, but he also has a lot of aegyo. He’s the best man ever.” (Sungjong)

-From the songs you released, which one is the most memorable one?
“For me, “Nothing’s Over” is the most memorable. Honestly, this song was recorded a while back and I was the guide [T/N: Guides in singing usually are the first demonstrators to sing the song so that the composer/producer can work with it before they officially record] and so I sung this song by myself then. L was the first one to record and it fit him so well. It made L shine. Woohyun sang the end part really well also so it made me think that even if I didn’t sing by myself, it’ll do well on its own. They also wrote the rap themselves, so they liked it. The rap was written by Hoya and Dongwoo themselves.” (Sunggyu)
“Mithra hyung helped us with the rap. Mithra hyung is good to us. He’s very humanistic.” (Hoya)
“Hoya and Dongwoo go over to Mithra hyung’s house and even eat together.” (Sunggyu)

-What kind of advice did Epik High give you in terms of music?
“They gave us a lot of strength. They taught us how to store our own color into music. ‘There may be a specific style in which the composers want, but try to express to your best and fullest your own color and emotions.’” (Dongwoo)


▶ Doing laundry and washing the dishes, we do everything ourselves. I was pinned by the closet before.

-You all live in a dorm together, right? If men live together, you don’t clean, do you?
“Our dorm is clean. There are often times where we aren’t able to clean due to influx of schedules and not being able to go home. At those times, it’s a bit messy.” (Sungyeol)

-Do you do the dish washing and laundry yourselves? 
 “Washing clothes by hand and dish washing, we all do it. We take turns doing the chores. We don’t hire someone as we do it ourselves. There’s turns in when to do it, but sometimes they pretend to sleep. Like last night, it wasn’t my turn but I did it.” (Sunggyu)
“Yesterday, it was Woohyun, Sunggyu hyung, and my turn but everyone was sleeping besides me. Sunggyu hyung sympathized woohyun and said “Hyung will do it.” That’s when I felt that Sunggyu hyung was really a hyung.” (Dongwoo)
“Often times, our closet falls over so we have to fix it ourselves. Once, I was pinned by the closet.” (Sungjong)
-Do you cook your own meals?

“We make instant noodles and folded egg [T/N: It’s like cooked egg but folded into layers…]. Each person takes care of their own meal and they put the dishes away themselves.” (Woohyun)
-What other types of food do you like? Meat? Sashimi?
“Ah, we faint at the sight of meat and sashimi. If the members eat it, we eat all of it in 20 minutes.” (Woohyun)
-How do you maintain your bodies then?
“Ah we don’t. We’re melting away our chocolate abs. We lose weight through dancing. When we don’t have schedules, we dance for 18 hours from morning to dawn.” (Woohyun)


▶ Like the name ‘Infinite,’ we don’t want to be bound to one set of color


-You keep changing the color (style) of the group – is it to give diversity?
“We don’t like being one set of style. Our group name is Infinite (limitless). We set our motto as being not just one color, but also showing various color, so we present various images. We want to continue to do that and we have the confidence to do it well also. 
-Lastly, your plans from now on during promotions or words you want your fans to remember.
“We’re an idol group, but we really like music. We want you to remember Infinite as a group that really likes music. Also, we want to remain as nationwide singers that our fans can remember.” (Sunggyu, Woohyun)
