[INTERVIEW] MBLAQ’s interview in HOT CHILI PAPER (Group Q&A) - Part 2

Hot chili paper interview Part 2

From here on we asked the members one by one some questions that go deeper. As for their blood type all members are equal with Type A, but the characters of the 5 people are greatly set apart. It’s as what Leader Seungho says, “Each of our assertion is clear, but because we don’t unreasonably compete to combine them and we respect each other, instead our teamwork is flawless!”

—– First it’s Seungho. Acting as the class representative and head of student council in school days, playing piano, good at magic tricks, and dancing B-BOY dance……, such a boy must be popular among girls! Please definitely tell us “my popularity legend.”

Seungho: Hahaha (laugh). I have a straightforward personality, so I’m not good at indirect way of talking. I think that undoubtedly I’ve hurt the girls around me a lot. Thus I don’t know whether I was popular. But it’s not boasting, I just studied hard. Actually there’s a secret in this, that I signed a contract with my parents. A contract system life (laugh). To say what it means is that if I want to request for something, I have to respond to the opposite side’s request as well. It’s like if I become the class representative, they will buy me one thing I want. I want them to buy me things by all means, so I studied hard and became the class representative, and as I’ve been living like that all along, I grew up into a man like this (laugh).

—– Seungho you are not good at showing aegyo to everyone, right?

Seungho: Yes. It’s because I was brought up in a family with no female except my mother. Even when my relatives are gathering there are only male.

—– Considering that, “The thing that a man must not do” is?

Seungho: Carrying girl’s small bag will be impossible. Since I was young, to be a real man, I was taught and brought up that I must not do such thing. If my family sees me holding my girlfriend’s bag for her, I’d rather not go home on that day (laugh). If I go home it will become a serious matter. Perhaps I should be expelled!

—– You are the only one who owns a car among the members. Your spring’s recommendable date course is?

Seungho: Cheongpyeong Lake. It’s not that far even from Seoul, the air is fresh, and it can refresh your mood. It’s also nice to go out to the quiet mountain where does not have many people. It has a feeling that calms your heart. Of course the drive’s BGM is “Sad Memories”!

—– Then go on to G.O. As you are called the members’ best love master, I think that you seem to have a thorough knowledge of ways of pleasing girls. As being that kind of you please teach us the “golden rule” of love.

G.O: First of all the most important thing is, having no tactics. Not sparing your feelings, you have to say that you like her if you like her. However, for the opposite side to like you more, keeping a distance on purpose, getting closer, and again keeping a distance…… Such tactics are unnecessary in love! I’m thinking that only by expressing your unconditional love you can please the opposite side. The next is no lying. Lies are things that will absolutely be exposed sometime. No matter it’s when you are with your girlfriend or hanging out noisily together with your friends, you always for sure show the same appearance, I think the opposite side can trust you. Lastly let’s talk about a very important thing (laugh). That is, you must give her presents generously. I’m the type that gives practical presents, so I give my girlfriend wallets and bags that she likes, accessories, and so on a lot. Especially when we had a quarrel, to settle I would give her 3 or 4 presents (laugh). Because of that my girlfriend’s anger has ended before.

—– So far the most expensive thing among your presents is?

G.O: About 200,000 won. But the price is not important. I buy with the feeling of “this, seems to suit my girlfriend,” so when I see her happy face, I’m happy even if my burden is somewhat big.

—– The next is Joon. Among the members only one person, only Joon doesn’t have twitter. I heard that “I stopped because I don’t know how to use it.” Perhaps you are not good at machines?

Joon: I don’t know how to use it, and I also don’t understand much about ways of operating machines and internet stuff. I only learned how to send emails recently (laugh).

—– Don’t you think that “I’d rather chat on twitter, too”?

Joon: I have a mini homepage and I can have conversation with all my fans there, so I don’t feel the necessity of twitter. Aren’t twitter and mini homepage the same?

—– You also don’t have a cell phone.

Joon: I wanted to concentrate on my activities this time, so I cancelled my contract. I feel that I seem to become negligent if I have it.

—– But haven’t you been like “to be honest, it was troublesome that I don’t have a cell……”?

Joon: Once in a while I’ve also felt that it’s inconvenient, but I’m also ok without it. In the middle of doing my activities I want to concentrate on my activities, and when I have a break I want to concentrate on taking a break (laugh).

—– Then go on to Cheondung. though you usually can’t say it easily, if giving an example of “I hope that you will try to fix this only” to other members?

Cheondung: I hope that Seungho hyung will get up only a bit earlier. When we are all preparing to go to the beauty salon in the morning, Seungho hyung is always about 30 minutes late.

—– Conversely the member who gets up early is?

Cheondung: While the latest one is Seungho hyung, the earliest one is G.O hyung. Even though they are both hyungs, they are greatly different (laugh).

—– Then, the thing you hope G.O who gets up that early will fix is?

Cheondung: As for G.O hyung his shower time is long. While before it was about 30 minutes, though lately it became a short 20 minutes, for us it still feels long because for the other members it’s generally about 5~10 minutes. Actually the shower at our dorm is broken and there’s only one shower. When I return to our dorm at midnight and have to go out early the next morning, though I want to take a shower as soon as possible and go to bed, I fall asleep when I’m waiting for G.O hyung to come out.

—– To Joon and Mir please also say a single word to each of them.

Cheondung: Every night Joon hyung does some training in which he holds two 10kg dumbbells, but he makes some “don don” sound every time. He seems to be careful himself, but there are times when he drops his dumbbell occasionally and it’s terrible if he does that! The structure of our dorm is not strong, so when something is dropped in the bed, I’m surprised because it resounds with the moving doors and windows. As for Mir I hope that he will not suddenly turn into a serious look. When I’m joking, he keeps me company well, but there are times when he suddenly turns into a serious look. He doesn’t even laugh a bit. When he’s like that I feel terribly embarrassed (laugh).

—– Sorry to keep you waiting, lastly it’s Mir! On your birthday on March 10th, how did the members celebrate for you?

Mir: As the condition of my waist was still not good, when I was not at our dorm but resting at home, on that day the members invited me to eat. They treated me some delicious food, and I had a cake with everyone together.

—– Mir, the biggest prank you’ve played on the members so far is?

Mir: Sending them lots of emails to an extent of uncountable amount within a day (laugh).

—– What kind of guy do you think is a “bad guy”?

Mir: Frankly, it’s me (laugh). I’m for sure a “slightly bad guy” in my town!

—– If you respectively select “the song you want to listen to when you are in a cheerful mood of being in love,” “the song you want to listen to when you were hurt in love,” and “the cheering song that you give to your friend who is in love”?

Mir: Um~, first when I’m in a cheerful mood, Girl Friends’ “Daddy-Long-Legs.” When I was hurt G-DRAGON’s “Heartbreaker.” If it’s a cheering song I give to my friend I recommend our “Y.”

—- I see. Then again I’ll ask all of you. If you could take the place of a member besides yourself for one day, who would you be and what would you do?

Seungho: I’d be G.O and reveal a song!

Joon: For me it’s G.O, too. I envy his voice.

G.O: I’d be Cheondung and want to eat a lot of delicious food at midnight.

Cheondung: I can’t pick a particular person, but if I could become that person, I wanted to try to do the things that member is good at.

Mir: For me it’s not MBLAQ. I’d become a girl group’s member and want to increase the amount of male fans (laugh).

—– By the way, what was your dream when you were a kid? If you didn’t become an idol, at this time, what do you think you are doing?

G.O: When I was a kid I wanted to be a police officer. If now I was not an idol, I think I’d be a computer programmer.

Seungho: I also wanted to be a programmer.

Mir: If I was not an idol, I’d be doing some agricultural work at the countryside.

Joon: I’ve been wanting to be an actor, so my dream has come true.

Cheondung: From long time ago my dream has always been to become a singer.
