091117 Doojoon's 10asia Interview

My name is Yoon Doojoon.

Born July 4, 1989. I might not be the oldest, but I'm the team's leader. 

Recently fans have revealed pictures from my past, but I'm afraid of my past, though there isn't a reason to avoid it. Now everything is out, but the present is more important so it's okay. However, when I was young, I was a cute kid.

Though Yoseob shows many different dance adlibs, in fact, he just watches videos and tries to do them. For one month, we would be on 4 different music shows, and I feel as though the audience would get bored watching the same thing over and over. So, we are going to try to make an effort to show something different. 

When we first filmed MTV BEAST, we decided to set our characters based on our image or features. But when, little by little, the cameras came over to me, and I think up words I want to say, in the end, I noticed the others showing their natural side. In my case, I was supposed to have the calm yet charismatic image......it makes no sense. Haha.

If MBC <High Kick Through the Roof> asks me to cameo, I'm ready at any time! I would love to be one of the students who pick on Seho. And especially Yoseob can be an exchange student.

Honestly, even though I'm not the oldest, being a leader is burdensome. Though it's a difficult and embarrassing situation, what can we do, someone has to do it. Whether it be talking to adults or convincing others, it's better to place myself out there than having another member do it, only because it didn't fit their individual character.

My training period was really short. I started when I was a senior in high school. I wanted to do music, but I could only do songs that I already knew. During my life as a trainee, even though I could mimic dance moves and liked decorating my face, I think, if only I had concentrated more on my singing, I would sing a bit better than now. When I was in middle school, I loved black people's music and since then i mainly listened to soul music. And so, I follow the features of the music and tend to sing along. I will try to find my own color.

I taught myself piano. I don't learn classical music or play very well, but by myself, I can play while singing. When attending my first music academy, my first practice song was Richard Marx's "Now and Forever," but since I didn't have the MR, I learned the piano code myself. At first, I practiced that song to death.

Even though Dongwoon looks like that, he's really the maknae. When we're at home, he would come to me using his cute act and saying, "Hyung~~".

Without writing, I can remember trivial things really well. Like, when, where I met them, and the clothes they wore. And that's why I'm the best at rock-paper-scissors. Because usually, I can see who is going to put down what first. Scientifically proven, because the law is, I am invincible. 

Kikwang's first stage as AJ? Of course I remember. April 2 Music Bank! (Yoseob: No. That day was M Countdown!)
