091117 Kikwang's 10asia Interview

My name is Lee Kikwang.

Born March 30, 1990. Junhyung, Hyunseung, and I are the oldest children in our families. But we all have at least some cuteness. I have a younger brother.

I seem like I'm pushed around by the other members? Haha. I'm restraining myself for their sake.

Yes, I have taken off all the clothes on my upper body on stage before. Since I was filming a sitcom, I couldn't be at the dry rehearsal, but the person who was in charge told me at the camera rehearsal that I had to take off my clothes decisively so I would show up well on the screen. But that person didn't know how revealing my clothes actually were. He/she was fine with it since it was the first time but told me never to do it again.

I joked on the radio that I liked the ethics section of the college entrance exam but fans took me seriously. Ah, I have to explain! Honestly, I'm not stupid. I studied well when I was younger.

Saeho from "High Kick Through the Roof" and the real me are pretty similar. We're bright, a bit foolish, affirmative, and fond of exercise.

I couldn't keep my focus when I had to film the scene where I confess to Jungeum nuna why I like her. Nuna is really pretty, and I think it was hard for me to recite the script in front of someone like that.

A lot of people say that Saeho is a character with a personality that is too simple. They also wish that he had more funny parts. But the truth is that Saeho is a character who is nice and bright when he's outside but makes a 180 degree transformation when he goes home. Those parts still haven't been shown, but I hope that they will be shown in the future.

I like crumping. I like to dance passionately with feeling and big movements like black people. So when I dance stage choreography, I dance so intensely that I've ripped my costume before. Starting with music video filming, the crotch area kept ripping so they changed the fabric, but they still ripped on stage, too.

I almost never do anything that's bad for my body. I can restrain myself from things like that really well. I never eat ramen, and I hardly ever snack. Alcohol and cigarettes never touch my lips.

I've been working out for about 3 years. Even though there are times when it's tiring to go work out by myself after our schedule, it's become a part of my character so I have to. Also, if my body is good then I feel good, and I gain self-confidence, so I'm going to keep exercising.

I'm really nice to people when I first meet them. That's my natural instinct. It's not that I want anything from them later; I'm just the type of person who wants to become close with others. So I suck up to others a bit as well.

I think I'm a lot cooler than I was when I was younger. So I think that I became a dragon at twenty years old. My lips were thick back then. Eh, now is better.
