The STAR: Are we able to see the “Legendary Pose” that has caused a hoo-ha on the internet today?
Doojoon: Ah, that. The period during which the pictures were taken was when (I was) filming for a sitcom, so after changing into outfits for more than ten over times a day, the endorsement pictures all turned out with the same pose.
TS: It isn’t because you were shy/embarrassed?
DJ: If there was too much shyness, I wouldn’t be able to strike that post. Even though I said that, it isn’t that I’m not embarrassed. If we are close, I talk really well too.
TS: Today’s concept for BEAST - comfortable yet smeared with some sensitivity. Being in the 5th year since your debut, there’s this sense of stability and composure of your stage.
DJ: That’s a relief. We are still as nervous (as before). As a singer, our first priority will be our (performance) stages so we pay the most attention to that.
TS: What are your thoughts about standing on stage as a full group?
DJ: As everyone does the monitoring (of the performance) together, it feels good. It feels new/refreshing and (somewhat) strange/foreign. I frequently think of the older/past days too. Comparing to when we first debut, much has change, but fortunately our mental attitude has returned to that point, so the mood is good. I want to be able to carry on activities together for a long, long time.
TS: Even though having carried out individual activities, compared to the trend of idol groups who release new songs every three to six months, this is something different.
DJ: We wanted to comeback sooner too, but the period did not fit right. Honestly, a period of one year, it is a really long break period in terms of comeback cycle in the entertainment/singers’ scene these days. It was not done on purpose.
TS: This time round, the title song is “Shadow”. When you are in a relationship, are you the type who behaves like a shadow, or do you respect each other’s individual time?
DJ: I think it differs from time to time. Aren’t guys all like that? Except for stalkers.
TS: Hmm, seems like you sound more of the latter. (laughs) Then, if you were to choose between love and friendship?
DJ: I think (I’m) someone closer to friendship. Of course, there are many couples who are in love for a long time, if you love someone for a long time, that’s good. But I think that there is an expiration date when it comes to an emotion such as love. Feelings change. Love does change to affection as well. How many are there on this earth who loves like a fire? So I will choose friendship which has a higher chance of not changing over a long period of time.
TS: So, what is the shelf life of love?
DJ: Well, that depends right? For me, it differs depending on the other party. It could also be for life. Of course, if it is for a lifetime, then nothing can be better than that.
TS: Now that you’re in your mid 20s, before your 20s past, what do you definitely want to try?
DJ: Before I am past my 20s, I want to work harder at whatever I am currently doing. Ah, I didn’t know that time will past so quickly. I am young now, but when you visit the broadcasting stations, there are really lots of young/younger people. I am just me, and yet time continues flows on.
TS: Sometime ago, you sent the members a message “When going on chariot, think about the person holding the chariot on his shoulders before thinking about how high the chariot is.” right? Such a leader-like heart.
DJ: My mom wrote that in a letter (to me), and it is good, so I spread it to the members. After that, the members kept teasing me, saying why did I compare the staff to the chariot. (laughs) Our members are definitely 100-points/full-marks friends/people. Everyone is doing really well.
TS: Aren’t you too generous? Especially in what aspect?
DJ: First, when we release an album, there are many aspects (we feel) lacking in. We can hold to complaints, but all our members know and do their share well. Whether it is the performance stage or fanservice etc., (everyone) knows and does well within their individual share. I can ride on the back, just like that.
TS: Lastly, if you could press “LIKE” on a member’s SNS to support him, who will you do it for and why do you want to do it?
DJ: Our youngest, Dongwoonie. He’s really kind. If there wasn’t Dongwoon, we would have fought a lot. Guys clash a lot right. But Dongwoonie, as the youngest, he adjusts the atmosphere nicely. A really positive person/friend. He’s doing something called a six-week miracle now, it’s really funny. Try asking him.
Doojoon: Ah, that. The period during which the pictures were taken was when (I was) filming for a sitcom, so after changing into outfits for more than ten over times a day, the endorsement pictures all turned out with the same pose.
