Insights to EXO-M Shanghai Kpop Concert 120914

1. Chen asked the audience “Do you want my handphone number?” Everyone shouted “Yes!” Chen then calmly replied “I don’t have a handphone.”

2. Xiumin said “I love you” and made a big heart with hands. Tao said that today was his first time being in Shanghai and finds the Shanghainese people very nice. Tao didn’t appear to be crying, he just touched his eye. He continued by saying thank you to the audience for watching them from their seats. They will work hard to prepare for the next album. Kris said “I like you all.” Lu Han said “I love you”, made a big heart with hands and gave a flying kiss.


3. During self-introductions, Kris asked if anyone in the audience went to the airport to welcome them.

4. Lu Han not only gave the audiences many flying kisses, he was also competing with Kris to see who gave more flying kisses.

5. After singing Angel, Luhan happily jumped.

6. Xiumin said “Do you understand my heart?” But the pronunciation of the Chinese word ‘heart’ wasn’t accurate, Lu Han started repeating the word ‘heart’ to him. (Mocking Xiu Min? Oh Luhan… :D)

7. Tao talk about the preparing for the next album and said “I love you”. After giggling, every member’s “I love you and I like you” came out.

8. Chen and Kris said he missed us. Tao said because of his injury he has to walk through VIP? (Maybe he is talking about airport security?) Lu Han apologized to everyone.

9. Tao said “After HISTORY, we have to go but I don’t want to!” Everyone shouted “Ga Ji Ma!” (Means don’t go in Korean)

10. For tonight’s performance, EXO-M got to sing live. In between of MAMA and History, there was time for interaction.

11. After Lu Han gave two flying kisses, Kris placed his hand infront of Lay’s mouth and did a flying kiss gesture, helping others to give flying kisses.

12. Kris touched Lay’s face and mimicked Chen’s laughter.

13. Lay’s face was stiff like a board and he spoke softly that he couldn’t be heard. Kris then pinched his face, Lay laughed.

14. Everyone was really high and excited, keep on saying “Handsome!” While talking, Lu Han’s shoe laces came apart and it took him a long time to tie it.

15. Everyone shouted Happy Birthday to Chen ♥ (Awww…)

*Apparently Tao injured himself during the rehearsal of yesterday’s concert. Poor Tao. T.T ♥
**Also, I’ve tried my best to translate the original meanings because from what I’ve read, some points were left like a cliff-hanger.

BAEKYEOL TIME! ♥

When Baekhyun is organizing clothes, he will also organize Chanyeol’s.

Chanyeol has a habit of scratching Baekhyun, while Baekhyun likes to hit Chanyeol with his arm.

 During meals, Baekyeol sit beside each other.

When they argue, Chanyeol is always the one who apologizes
Sehun likes to imitate Chanyeol saying “Baekhyun, Baekhyun~”.

During fansign, when fans ask Suho which room turns their lights off the latest, Suho said that its Chanyeol and Baekhyun, because they are always too busy gaming.

Chanyeol likes to steal Baekhyun’s snacks.

Most of you were asking questions to us like "what the hell happened to Lay??
Is he okay?" Well it seems like a little new to this fandom.
We actually spread out this info 4 months ago, but hopefully,
everybody will be notified. If you try to read this blog update of Lay
which was translated (it was written/posted back in 2004).
He mentioned about the time when he was suffering and the moment
when he was at the surgery, he entitled it "FATHER".
YES indeed, it is heartbreaking to know that he suffered from that, so fans,
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! TAKE CARE OF LAY,
he's like the MOST FRAGILE AND PRECIOUS UNICORN out there.
In just a simple amount of bruise/scratch, he might be suffering again.
This order is NO JOKE and to other people who's also suffering from it.
I believe LAY is a very gentle & humble guy,
but deep inside he's actually funny as you can see during the interviews,
he expose a lot of secrets, he seems to forget things a lot.
But that's LAY that's why we LOVE ♥ him,
I'm sure most of you will cry by the time you read the blog translation

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU SHARE&SPREAD THIS TO THE WHOLE FANS ♥

YiXing's Blog Translation (2004)
【¤father¤】
In my house, whether it was in the morning, noon, or night,
there would always be bursts of singing: “啊多么辉煌,灿烂的阳光!”
This was my father singing! One morning,
I woke up and both heard a beautiful singing voice and smelled a pungent stench!
I looked around, and oh man, my dad was singing while he was in the washroom!?
See, my dad just loves to sing this much! As the saying goes, “like father like son!”
I also really loved to sing, and I sang pretty well. Since I had an artistic talent,
so my dad often took me to learn this and that. Of course, mostly, it was learning to sing.
But in my throat, I had an enlarged tonsil, my dad was afraid that it would get too big
and I wouldn’t be able to sing anymore, so he brought me to a hospital to do surgery.
However, because my blood clotting might have problems,
the hospital said that it wouldn’t be too easy to operate on.
But my father made a wrong decision and said “operate, you have to operate!”
and the hospital didn’t have a choice so they performed the surgery.
After the surgery, I did bleed a lot after all, and I wouldn’t stop spitting up blood,
and in the end, I went into shock! When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed,
hooked up to a blood bag, getting a blood transfusion.
I looked up and could see my father standing by the door worrying at a cigarette,
looking really distressed. In my heart, I thought “serves you right,
who told you to say that we had to operate?” After two weeks,
I found that my father had changed, and didn’t seem so proud or arrogant anymore,
and would buy me whatever I wanted. “Son! Dad will take you out to play, okay?”
my father asked, and I answered “okay!” After we were done,
I was much happier and felt much better,
and thought carefully: “Dad did all this for my own good, I should think about this from his perspective.” At this time, my dad suddenly said: “Sorry, son!”
I grabbed onto him and hugged my dad without thinking, and started crying!

This is the dad who loves me, feels for me, and cares for me!

Pop magazine 539th Issue(2)

Occupying the lens and Announcing Ambitions

Da Zui: Out of the programs you’ve participated in, in which type were you most ambitious?

Kris: I hope to participate in more programs like “Do Your Best”. Actually, what type does that come under? (Da Zui: sports competition type) Right, sports competition types of shows. Even though during “Do Your Best” I wasn’t very good at it…… (Da Zui: Falling off after one second? The dragon entering the water?) About that, let’s not mention the past. Anyway, I wish to be able to join competitive programs like these, and prove my all-rounded ability to everyone (bright and shining gaze)

Lay: As for me, the programs that are the competitive-types are too clever, too exciting. Opposite to me, who has a bigger amount of ambition towards large-scale public performances and varieties, because they allow more people see us, while in variety shows, the interaction and chemistry between the members will not lose to anyone, hence, playing games is also one of our fortes. Everyone is happy; For instance, our first broadcast of “Happy Camp“‘s “Hug Group”.
Lu Han: I also like competitive-type programs, the programs are all very new and odd, a lot of thought is put into them and at the same time, you get a feeling as though you’re actually in the competition, it’s very exciting and very fun. I really enjoy the process of the competition in every segment, also the competition itself is actually a really good form of relaxation. (The bright odor of the football youth hits you right in the face.)
Xiumin: Actually, I have a strong ambition for all types of broadcasts. However, during the combined stage with the 12 members of EXO in the “15th anniversary of Happy Camp”, it left the deepest impression on me; on such a meaningful stage, there will be the excitement of every cell pulsating; as expected, a combined performance is what gives us even more pride.
Chen: Actually, I’m anticipating a language-type talk show more, no matter what kind of broadcast, the most basic requirement is the exchange of languages, I hope I’ll be able to use the most accurate language and attitude to express myself, hence, I’m doing my best in learning Chinese, I want to let everyone know Chen’s art of words earlier.
Tao: I’m also more biased towards “Do Your Best”. Those sections were all very interesting, and when I played them, I played them rather well (secretly aiming at leader, where veins emerged in a flash on his forehead) However, I especially like variety shows. (Recently, there was a huge burst of confidence in variety skills.) There are many unexpected game segments, the live stage is also very relaxing, the sudden situations challenge our reactions and the atmosphere is comfortable. Hence, I want to try everything. (Da Zui is somehow shocked, not afraid of the sky nor the earth, he is afraid of the youngest doing things outside).

Da Zui: Following your rising popularity, your schedules are also becoming extremely busy, how do you usually release stress?
Kris: Actually, the state of your mind is the most important, you have to maintain a good state of mind, because of our schedules, at times, we become entranced to the city which we’re in. However, in the middle of activities, even though we face entirely different environments every day, no matter where we go, everyone gives us a lot of love, the staff that we work together with are also very good, the fans who try their best to support us are also good, it makes us feel very thankful. Actually, everyone has worked harder than we have, creating many good factors for us, so we don’t have any reasons not to work hard, in that way, the pressure is turned into power even more.
Lay: Of course, the state of one’s mind is important, on the other hand, it still needs seasoning. On the side of “ingredients (of the seasoning)”, our members do it very well. Everyday, all of us will have problems which may cause everyone to laugh at, today is Tao, tomorrow is Xiu Min, there’s no end to our laughter (Da Zui’s whole face ruminates, Lay clears his throat.) Indeed, I’m the person who contributes the most amount of “ingredients”. (Everyone laughs.) Because I can’t withstand cold atmospheres, if everyone’s not really in the mood, I would…. (Da Zui: steps forward bravely) That’s right, “sacrifice myself” to let everyone laugh.
Lu Han: Even though the schedule now is quite compact, everyone’s self-maintenance is done rather well, my resting time every day is considered sufficient so I feel that I’m still able to adjust to it, there isn’t a feeling of being too tired, I can maintain a good state.
Xiumin: Because I’m doing something that I like to do, and the members are always together, it’s still pretty active. My parents will also give me a fixed support and encouragement so I’m able to quickly adjust the state of my mind.
Chen: I sleep a lot, and can sleep easily. I’m able to sleep in the car, on the plane, in the waiting room, the outcome of using sleep to overcome fatigue is very good; Usually, Xiumin-ge and the rest will remind me to take care of my body so my state is not too bad either.
Tao: Usually, when I feel extremely tired out by our activities, I will think about the happy things. (Da Zui: taking a stroll?) No, for example, when I’m hungry, I’ll think that we’ll be able to eat once we reach the dormitory and after we finish eating, I won’t feel hungry anymore. (Da Zui facepalms) I’m also able to do many things that I like to do and when I think about all these, I work harder in order to hurry and return to the dormitory (youth sure is good, the dormitory is the best) hence I’m always able to adjust my state.

‘Nice Guy’ Song Joong Ki transforms into a handsome medical student


 Actor Song Joong Ki proves again his self-illuminating handsomeness.

KBS 2TV ‘Nice Guy’s production company has released the first still cuts of the male lead Song Joong Ki on the 27th July 2012.

The photos unveiled on this day show Song Joong Ki wearing a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt, and a blue checkered shirt on top. He’s seen carrying a backpack and a thick book in his hands, looking like a young college student.

Song Joong Ki plays the character Kang Ma Roo in the drama. Kang Ma Roo is a medical student with IQ of 158 and with a good heart. He was born with good looks and smarts and he uses his assets to make women fall in love with him like a seasoned con artist.

Kang Ma Roo is a complex character who becomes a man with the purest heart for Han Jae Hee (played by Park Si Yeon), who is the woman he loves, but he becomes an evil man to Seo Eun Gi (Moon Chae Won) to use her for his own vengeance.

An associate of the drama production team stated, “Kang Ma Roo has faced many adversities in life but he somehow never lost hope and he continued to work hard. You’ll get to withness how such good young man transforms into an wounded man filled with vengeance. You’ll be shocked at the transformation of Song Joong Ki between good and evil.”

‘Nice Guy’ is scheduled to premier in September after ‘Bridal Mask’ ends.

NU'EST's interview and feature in "Fans" Taiwanese Magazine

NU'EST ended their promotional activities for their 1st mini album <<Action>>
at the end of July and quickly returned in August with [Not Over You] to meet everyone
with a whole new concept! [Not Over You] is a song about the feelings of two lovers who have broken up meeting each other once again and is song that is very suitable
for the summer season. Nuest who have debuted for less than a year,
have already gathered numerous fans both in Korea and overseas and have also
attained the [2012 Best Rookie Award] on the international K-Pop site [Seoul Beats].
If you still don't know about them, then quickly read their interview content now
and you will surely become hooked on them!

Q: Having won the [2012 Best Rookie Award] poll, what are your feelings?
A: (JR) I'm very happy that in the few months since our debut, we managed to gain so much support and I feel very honored. Because we want to thanks our overseas fans for their support, we will begin our overseas promotion in Japan and afterwards have activities in other countries as well. I look forward to going to more places to meet our fans from various countries.

Q: What are the changes in your lifestyle now that you guys have debuted?
A: (JR) Now when we walk on the road, alot of people recognize us and we feel very surprised! Although some of the passer-bys are not able to say out the names of the individual members but they know us as the group who did the "chair" dance. Of course, I wish that in the future, everyone would be able to remember the names of the members well (laughs). Also because we are now public figures, we have to be more aware of our actions and behavior and we will also keep working hard.

Q: How have the members changed since the debut?
A: (JR) The members have all grown up considerably! Baekho has become more hardworking as compared to before and Aron's Korean has also become better and better and he is now able to communicate with the fans in Korean.

Q: Nuest has become idols in the eyes of many fans, do you guys have your own idols?
A: (JR) The idol I admire the most is Eminem. When he first debuted, he wasn't very well received but because he kept persevering, he has now become a singer who is very well received.
(Aron) I really like Anthony Hamilton's voice and I've liked his songs since I was young, he's really charming!
(Baekho) DBSK seniors has always been my idols and role-models. Their performances are always filled with energy and I would like to be able to give off such a power packed performance.
(Minhyun) Normally I would practice singing songs by other singer and Eric Benet's [Still With You] is a song that I really like, it's a very nice song to listen to.
(Ren) I idolise Michael Jackson the most as he is able to give off a flawless performance on stage whether in terms of vocals or dance. I have liked watching him performe since I was young and he will forever be my idol.

Q: What do you remember most about your trainee days?
A: (JR) The hardest thing for me during our trainee days was the dancing! Although I look like I can dance well now, but during that time I was a really slow learner as I didn't really know how to control and move my body.
(Aron) I came back to Korea to be a trainee after I finished high school in the US. When I first reached Korea, it was really hard as my Korean was really bad, to the point that I couldn't even speak at all, but the members were very helpful and I also learned alot of Korean from our daily conversations.

Q: How did Nuest get recruited into the company to become trainees?
A: (JR) My hometown is in Gangwondo and it is very far from Seoul so I never thought of being a singer at all. One day when I was in school, I was spotted and picked by the company and at that time, I was suspicious as to whether this was true or not but I still went home and happily told my father about it. At the start, my father was against the idea of me becoming a trainee but because the entertainment company noona told my father that she dreamt of me standing on the stage performing, my father finally agreed to let me join the company. My father had dreams of becoming a singer when he was young so he is now very happy and supportive of me.
(Aron) When I was still living in America, I happened to see Son Dambi senior's [Crazy] MV and I thought that being able to perform like that was great. After that when I was back in Korea for a holiday, I heard that Pledis was holding auditions and I ran to take part in it and won 1st and now have debuted in Nuest smoothly.
(Baekho) The way I entered the company was abit funny. I was actually accompanying my friend to the audition but in the end I got selected!
(Minhyun) Since young I've thought of becoming a singer but I didn't go to the audition on my own, instead I was spotted by the people from the company on my way to school and I feel very fortunate that I'm able to accomplish my dream.
(Ren) Like Minhyun, I've wanted to be a singer since young so I specially came to Seoul to attend the company's audition. I remember the day that I came to Seoul, the weather wasn't good and it was raining. When I reached the company, the person told me that I couldn't audition that day but I didn't want it to be a wasted trip so I said I specially came from a very very far place to Seoul and the person was very sympathetic and decided to let me go for the audition that day.

Q: Who was has the most unique concept for the comback this time round?
A: (Minhyun) Obviously its Ren! Ever since debut, he has been given the title of [the boy who is prettier than a girl] and his hairstyle for this comeback has made him prettier and will definitely attract people's attention.

Q: This time round, Nuest has their comeback with After School seniors, how is it working like with everyone?
A: (Minhyun) Being able to work with the seniors that we know well has allowed us to feel more relieved and secure. Especially during music shows, being able to record with the seniors will make our mood better. The seniors looks after us well and will always give us tips and little secrets of things to look out for during the recording.

Q: Rookie girl group Hello Venus has also debuted. Looking back at the days where you guys were trainees together, what is the most memorable thing/occasion?
A: (Minhyun) Hello Venus who recently debuted in May were trainees with us in the past. We worked hard together and had fun together as well and both groups have debuted successfully and achieved good results as well.

Q: Many fans are curious as to what Ren is like on the inside, given that his outward appearance is so pretty?
A: (JR) I remember when I first met Ren, he still had abit of baby fat which was cute. Now that he has grown up, he has become more and more charming.
(Baekho) Ren likes to put his things on his bed and he doesn't allow people to touch his things nor lie on his bed. He also hides snacks in his bed and secretly eats it in the middle of the night.
(Minhyun) Ren like to be on his own sometimes and is also very 4D which is charming.

Q: Who in Nuest has the most fashion sense?
A: (JR, Aron, Baekho, Minhyun) Ren!
(Ren) I have an interest in fashion although I don't have a particular type or style that I like. I like to wear accessories that will put me in a good mood and I especially like to buy earrings and necklaces.

(This photo is EXO-K members for their song "MAMA")

Did you know Sehun (from EXO-K) loves to drink bubble tea with Luhan (from EXO-M).
His favourite flavor is Chocolate.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This is the poster for the korean drama "To The Beautiful You".
I am currently watching this drama now. I am at episode 7 and I must say
this is one of my all time favourite korean drama!

It's a definitely MUST WATCH if you haven't already.

This drama is the korean drama version of an popular Japanese manga
and there is already a Japanese Drama and a Taiwanese Drama for it.

I have watched both the Japanese version and the Taiwanese version
and in my opinion, they all have their good points and I really enjoyed watching
all of them.

Honestly though, the japanese version is more towards "fantasy" and "comedy" type
whereas the taiwanese version never really follow the whole story from the manga,
especially for their ending.

The korean version however, is the most realistic out of them. There is a slight twist
from the korean version when you compared them to the rest.
At first I am not used to it because I had watched the rest first, but after awhile, I grew
to really enjoy the korean version alot. The actors from it are really professional.

Overall, I really like all three drama versions of the manga and I really recommand
others to watch them all.

Exo K interview


My name is D.O. My real name is Do Kyungsoo.

I was born on January 12th, 1993, and I have a brother older than me by three years.

A unique characteristic of mine is that the whites of my eyes are bigger than my pupils. Because of that, my fans nicknamed me, ‘Rich in Eye Whites’. Anyway, if it’s hard for you to distinguish us, just know that the member with a lot of eye whites is D.O.

Despite that Yunho hyung had just finished his Tokyo Dome concert, he called us after our first broadcast on SBS’s ‘Inkigayo’. He monitored each one of us and we listened to his advice with the cell phone on speaker mode. For now, we need advice on our stage performance rather than for variety programs.

I was a quiet student in school. I didn’t want people to know that I was training at SM so I didn’t tell anybody. I just spent my high school years quietly and then graduated.

My voice imitation of senior Oh Kwang Rok on MBC Music’s ‘Show Champion’ was not something that I had practiced. I always joked around by copying him and it just naturally became my personal talent. The member that actually has a lot of hidden talents is Baekhyun.

I honestly have no idea what I meant by the ‘What Play’ that’s written on my elementary school graduation picture. It must’ve been a popular phrase back then, but… Why would I have written that as my special talent?

Since elementary school, I’ve always loved singing or listening to music. I always participated in singing competitions in high school. I was cast by SM while on my way out from winning an award at a competition. I didn’t know what type of company SM was at the time so I had a hard time believing them. I remember thinking, “Is this real? What is this?”

When I made a comment mistake on our debut stage, I wasn’t thinking anything in particular. If I said that I did well during the rehearsal… would you believe me? I kept thinking that it was a live broadcast and repeated to myself, “Majestic, majestic, majestic…” I wasn’t able to look at the camera so when it came to my turn, all of the words in my head just disappeared. (Sehun: They were deleted.) I could only remember the first letter of the word so I instead said, ‘grand orchestra’. I was so out of it then that I didn’t even know I had used that word. I never want to see that broadcast again (sigh).

Seo In Guk UPDATE ( Chan mo)

Seo In Guk and A Pink‘s Eunji's kiss scene has been revealed in a form of a still cut!

On the 24th, the producers of tvN’s new drama ‘Reply 1997‘ shared a still cut of the drama’s couple Seo In Guk and Eunji.

The revealed picture showed the two in school uniforms sharing a kiss. The photo made the viewers even more curious about the drama since it showed Seo In Guk closing his eyes while Eunji looked surprised.

The picture also revealed Seo In Guk’s muscular body that had been kept hidden until now, showing off the 14kg weight loss he went through for the role.

The producers shared, “This kiss scene was born after 16 NGs. It’s going to be a scene that will leave a lingering image worth looking forward to.”

They also added, “It was first time for both to film a kiss scene so they joked around to make a natural setting, but they couldn’t hide their nervousness. The two rinsed out their mouths and were restless. Seo In Guk did push ups right before the filming to prepare for his shirtless scene.”

‘Reply 1997' will tell the story of six high school students in Busan during the ’90s and will air its first episode on the 24th at 11 pm KST.

He answers all questions with “Cheh~”.
Luhan said that personally it has no meaning
but he doesn’t know what to say so he says “Cheh~”

Entertainment E-Generation EXO-M Interview Part 1
- Introductions + Thoughts On Their 2 Days Stay in Taiwan

Kris: Hello everyone, I’m EXO-M’s leader Kris. This is the second time we are in Taiwan and the first time to be performing with Super Junior-M in Tainan. The support we get from the fans is very heart-warming. We hope to come to Taiwan again for publicizing activities. I’m very happy to be in Taiwan.

Lu Han: I’m able to feel the enthusiasm of the fans. The staffs that work with us are very caring. This made us feel touched and made us remember to work hard to present a better side of ourselves for everyone.

(Ken, the host, asked Lay to translate what Lu Han said to Xiu Min. After the translation, Ken talked about how he wasn’t able to totally grasp the Korean Language. So seeing that EXO’s Korean is very fluent, he thinks that they have put in a lot of effort to learn the language. Lay added that one of the factors is also the learning environment.)

Lay: Hello everyone, I’m EXO-M’s Lay. First time being here in Taiwan as a guest and record this radio segment. So, I am really happy. Also I’m able to see Brother JK and he takes care of us. So I really hope that next time we are able to appear more in his program.

Ken: If you are able to come to Taiwan for long stay, you can come everyday

Tao: Hello everyone, I’m EXO-M’s Tao. Within the two days in Taiwan, I am really happy. I don’t want to leave as I am quite familiar with the area. I hope that next time we, EXO, will be able to come to Taiwan together and take part in Brother Ken’s program. Also, to do more publicizing activities, perform for everyone to see and eat more of Taiwanese snacks.

Ken: You didn’t eat much of the snacks right?
Tao: Not a lot
Ken: Oh, what a waste. But it’s okay because the timing was short. But next time you will have the chance to eat more.

Xiu Min: (Lay helped Xiu Min translate his response) Although it’s the second time in Taiwan, I am very touched by the fans’ warmth. I want thank all of the fans. Able to be with Brother Ken to record this radio segment, I feel honoured.

Chen: (Kris helped Chen translate his response) This time being in Taiwan, the fans are very enthusiastic and I am also very happy. Since September is my birthday month, many fans have given me many birthday gifts, cakes and food items during this past two days. I feel very touched and I hope to come to Taiwan again.

Lay: We have left good memories in Taiwan

(All of them start singing Happy Birthday in Korean and in Mandarin to Chen ♥)

Entertainment E-Generation EXO-M Interview Part 2

- Ma La Hotpot + Homesickness

Ken: Last night you were finally able to leave the hotel and I heard that you all went to eat Ma La Hotpot. Is there a difference between China’s Ma La Hotpot and Taiwan’s Ma La Hotpot?

Kris: The sauce is different. China’s sauce has sesame sauce while here’s is different.

Ken: Were all of you happy

from yesterday’s dinner?

EXO-M: Happy
Lu Han: We ate till we’re full

Ken: Our impression is that Koreans better in eating spicy foods. Can we ask Chen, what you feel about the Ma La Hotpot? Is it spicy enough?

Chen: It’s very delicious. I like to eat spicy foods.

Ken: But the spiciness here is different from the spiciness in Korea

Chen: Correct

Ken: What about Xiu Min? The spiciness here is different from the spiciness in Korea.

Xiu Min: Mysterious

Ken: I think that the Ma La Hotpot has a mysterious feeling to it. Why? (Ken suddenly said ‘Why’ in Korean and Xiu Min didn’t understand)

Xiu Min: The taste in China is very different because the soup seems to be clearer. The fragrance is also different.

Ken: From your debut till now, actually before that you all have gone through a lot of trainings. After your official debut, do you find that your life has change? Is there any difference compared to the past? For example Kris, you came from Canada and went to Korea. After that, you made your debut and became EXO-M’s leader. Do you feel that there are a lot of changes in your life?

Kris: I think the biggest change is that after our debut, since we are still rookies, work is our first priority. So the interaction time with our family has lessened while times spent with the members have increased. Other than this, the other big change is that everyone became handsome. Since our company staff is very good with appearances.

Ken: So when you frequently look into the mirror, you feel very happy. Wa, I’ve become so handsome!

Ken: Actually because of intensive working schedule, you will also miss your family members. Your family members live very far right?

Kris: Actually, I do have family members living in China.

Ken: Oh, that’s good. This kind of people that get homesick easily should be Lay.

Lay: Yes, I get homesick easily and our member Tao also gets homesick. Actually because all of us are outside, we should be quite homesick.

Ken: What do you do when miss home?

Lay: I will put these thoughts into the songs that I compose.

Ken: So when you’re free, you will compose songs?

Lay: Yes

Ken: Tao, what do you do when you think of home. You can't have a beach, buy a cup of coffee, look at your hometown…

Tao: I will leave my longing for home to the sea [What a cute answer! All I can say is that he really love the beach]

(Everyone went “Ooohhh!...”)

Ken: Lu Han doesn’t seem to have a problem with feeling homesick

Lu Han: Actually I do, especially when it’s late at night. Normally I use this thoughts and convert into strength to do sports or exercise.

Ken: The Korean members shouldn’t have much of a problem with the feeling of homesick right? Xiu Min, do you have a problem of feeling homesick like the other members? Should be no right? Or Chen?

Chen: (Kris helped Chen translate his response) Although my parents are in Korea, I will still miss them. I hope that my parents don’t have to worry for me because I am doing well. I think all of parents have the same feeling for us, worrying for us.

Ken: Slowly, all of your parents will become good friends, just like Super Junior’s parents. Xiu Min do you have such feeling? Can you share it with us?

(After Xiu Min finish speaking, Tao said he wanted to translate. But after he did his translation, the rest said that his translation was incorrect. Ken actually wanted Lay to do the translation but Lay gave the chance to Lu Han instead)

Xiu Min: I also miss my parents. But my parents told me that if I want to succeed, I have to endure with the feeling of longing

(Ken talked about the number of fans that appeared at EXO-M’s hotel and Radio Station. That really shocked him because the fans didn’t know that EXO-M will be at the Radio Station but suddenly all of them appeared. Kris said that the fans are really smart)

Entertainment E-Generation EXO-M Interview Part 3

- Trainee and Debut Times + Learning Korean

Ken: Actually during this period of time, they’ve gone through much training, including the period of being a trainee. So when you knew you are going to make your debut, the feeling must be the result of a long wait. If we go back in time when the photographs and teasers were released one

by one, the time when we see you being fully prepared for your debut, can we get Lu Han to talk about the feeling when the company announced that it was time for your debut?

Lu Han: I feel happy and nervous at the same time, plus the stress level is quite high. Because our teasers are released, we aren’t sure if everyone will like us.

Ken: Will you go online to check for everyone’s response?

Lu Han: At that time, I didn’t have the thinking because I don’t dare.

Ken: When you see your own teaser, will you have the feeling of “Wow, how handsome!”. At that time when your teasers were released, I felt that every one of them was filmed perfectly. Did you feel shocked when you see yourself in the teasers?

Lu Han: Yes

Ken: Chen, what were your thoughts from the time when you were a trainee until the debut?

(After Chen spoke, there was a slight moment of silence. Then Ken said “Kris?” suggesting that Kris should translate what Chen said. Everyone broke into laughter.)

Ken: Let me explain what the current situation is. Actually there is a translator beside Chen and Xiu Min. But after they have finished their sentence, they not sure if the translator should translate or the leader, Kris, should translate.

Chen: (Kris helped Chen translate his response) I was the last to join the group. When I heard the news of the debut, I was nervous. I wondered what if after the debut, will I implicate the others because I have little experience?

Ken: Actually after your debut, every performance that I see made me feel shocked. The power that you present onstage is really big. It’s a little different when I see you offstage because you’re still young and how is it possible to present such a big force onstage? So that not a very easy thing to do. Knowing that you were going to make your debut, is there anyone who shed tears because you were really happy?

Lu Han: Yes

Kris: At that time, I do have such a thing but I’ve not said it before. The company showed me a video of my mother saying “Jia You. Now you already have a goal to work towards to.” etc. But the company deliberately played this video a day after we’ve officially made our debut. When I was watching the video, I was really touched.

Ken: That will certainly happen, being in another country and seeing our family members giving us encouragement. During the preparation process, there will be another challenge for the 4 Chinese members and that is to learn the Korean language. Amongst the 4 of you, who was the slowest, in terms of learning, at the beginning? Like when I learnt Korean, I was the last in class.

Lay: I should be considered as the slowest in learning Korean. But because there a language environment, it’s still okay and I’m still able to learn.

Tao: And there’s me, who is always the last.

Ken: Really? You are? Now amongst the 4 of you, who do you think has improved a lot?

Tao: Must be me. Because they always laugh at me, saying that my Korean isn’t good.

Lay: Tao’s Korean is actually not bad, it’s just that his arrival was too short. And when he is with the 3 of us, he always speaks Mandarin.

Tao: When I am not here yet, Lay was the last.

Ken: Actually it’s okay. I remembered when Super-Junior M had their long stay in Taiwan, Ryeowook’s Mandarin was very fluent. And this time when I went to Korea and I chatted with Ryeowook, I realized that without the language environment, he forgot everything very quickly. But after a period of time of warm up, everything you’ve learnt will come back. Now that you’re in Korea, you have a lot of time and opportunities to learn. I want to improve my Korean in Taiwan but I find it very difficult. Do you all find it difficult?

Lu Han: At the beginning, it will be difficult because you have to learn the basics. But when you’ve learnt the basics, the rest will be easy.

Ken: I can have a competition with Xiu Min today. Xiu Min, I know Korean’s tongue twister. And Chen will be the judge, to see who is better. I’ll go first?

(Ken said the tongue twister with perfection. Xiu Min tried but his tongue got twisted halfway through. Lay the said “Actually I've always suspect whether Brother Xiu Min is a Korean.” Chen was given a chance to try. He had a rough start on his first try but he did it perfectly on his second try)

(Tao wanted Ken to play Two Moons as the next song and Ken said I’ll let you be the DJ and explain why you want this song to be played?)

Tao: Because this song is a collaboration of rap between EXO and Key from SHINee. This song is addictive. After listening to it for the first time, you would want to repeat it again. I hope that everyone will enjoy listening to this next song, Two Moons. Thank You.

Entertainment E-Generation EXO-M Interview Part 4

- Branching Out + Future Dreams

Ken: You have already fulfilled the preliminary stages of your dream. If in the future there are more different opportunities like singing, acting or hosting, what would you choose?

Lay: I hope to do my best in singing or record a solo album. I hope to collaborate with senior like Henry from SJM bec
ause I think his creations are really good. I want to learn from him.

Kris: Since we are still newbies, I don’t have a lot of expectations right now. Next time if I have the chance, I’m willing to try more new things like singing, acting or hosting. I’m very willing to try but my own dream is to become an actor. Is it too big? Did I say it too early?

Ken: I don’t think so! In terms of acting, who is your favourite actor/actress?

Kris: I don’t have a specific actor/actress that I admire but I would watch their shows to learn their acting skills.

Ken: What about Lu Han?

Lu Han: I haven’t thought about this since we are still newbies. I want to do my best as a singer first…

Ken: Or do you want to be a football team member next time? (Both Ken and Lu Han started laughing) Actually there are many Korean stars that like to play football. Perhaps through football, you are able to meet new friends. Chen?

(After Chen spoke, Ken asked “Who wants to help with the translation?” In the end the translator helped with the translation.)

Chen: I feel the same as the other members since we are all newbies. I want to do my best as a singer.

Ken: Very humble but that’s good. Next is Tao.

Tao: If we’re talking about the future, since it’s the future, I’ll just give an example. I hope to progress in the showbiz as a singer, to become a good actor, be it in martial arts or idol drama.

Ken: Before going to Korea, is there any Chinese singer that you admire?

Tao: No specific singer but I do love some of the works. I do hope that all six of us are able to film a movie or TV series.

Ken: The next time you’re here in Taiwan, I should bring you to KTV. Taiwan KTV is very fun and you will be able to sing to some of your favourite Chinese songs. Okay Xiu Min.

(Yet another moment of silence while waiting for someone to do the translation)

Xiu Min: (Through the translator) We’re still newbies so I want to slowly accumulate my experiences as a singer. After I’ve accumulated enough experience, I’m willing to try anything in the showbiz. But in the end, I still want to retain my position as a singer.

<MACHINE started playing>

(Kris ends off the interview)

Kris: We are very happy to be able to be on radio for the first time in Taiwan and able to with Brother Ken to record Entertainment E-Generation. Hopefully we will have the chance to come to Taiwan again and come for this program.

(EXO-M)

Kris says he cares about the members but not overboard.
He knows about every member’s life habits, even the number of times
that they have changed their hostel rooms. Kris knows that Lay likes to sleep
on the hard floors in the living room. Lay said because it's cooler in the living room
and because of the change in environment, he is able dream a different dream.
He also said that Kris is like a spiritual mentor.
If the members face something, they will talk to him.
