Q. You release your solo album. What made you decide to debut as a solo singer? Hyunseung: I think all the idol singers dream of it. As a member of group, it is hard to show my own character. But I can show off my identity as a solo singer. I think BEAST is a very attractive team, and I want to prove that the BEAST members are not only competent as a team but also as solo singers.
Q. So, is there any difference between your activity as a member of you team and as a solo singer? Hyunseung: We need to achieve a comprise during our group activity. If I speak up, it makes the other members tired. However, I took part in many things about my solo album. I took part in making costumes, choreography, and teaser video. I think it made our company employees tired.(laugh) So I titled the album "My."
Q. What is your goal as a solo singer? Hyunseung: I do not enjoy business. And I do not want to show exaggerated performance. I want to carry weight with a lot of people as a solo singer.
Q. It seems that you always try to show off your sexy charm on stage. Hyunseung: Frankly speaking, I'm not that sexy man. Through my solo album, I tried to show my cute and bright side. There are some sexy scenes in the music video, but it's nothing like what I did as a member of BEAST and Trouble Maker.
Q. You filmed sexy scenes with actress Hwang Seung Un. How was it? Hyunseung: Yeah, I scribble on her breasts and kiss her inside the elevator. I was not close with her and it was so embarrassing to film such scenes. When I filmed sexy scenes with Hyuna, it was much more easy because she is my labelmate. I think Hwang Seung Un led me well. And the elevator scene was much more erotic, but it's edited. It was not a real kiss.
Q. Don't you feel any pressure when people say your are a representative sexy male singer? Hyunseung: Yeah, I feel uncomfortable about the title. I think blatant kind of sexy concept is not adapted to me. I wanted to convey natural and casual feelings through my solo album.
Q. What was the hardest thing about releasing your solo album? Hyunseung: It was really hard to select the title track. I eventually selected 'Ma First' as a title track, but 'Breakup with him' is a great song too. I've worked on 'Breakup with him' for a month and a half.
Q. Big Bang made a comeback by releasing its new songs 'LOSER' and 'BAE BAE' on May 1. Don't you feel uncomfortable releasing your album around the same time? Hyunseung:Big Bang is a really huge name. It's just absurd that I face off against the group. Actually, I didn't want to release my album in May but it couldn't be helped due to fixed schedules. I filmed a documentary program with them when I was a trainee, and I'm proud of them for growing up as a huge group. And it's happy that I'm also loved by many people as a member of BEAST.
Q. What is your real personality like? Hyunseung: I'm not the right man for being an entertainer. I'm not active and I'm afraid of strangers. And I'm quiet and enjoy being alone. I think I was lucky. Fortunately, I'm excited when I perform on stage.
Q. When you date somebody, do you usually lead her? Hyunseung: No, I think I'm a bad guy. Even if I like somebody, I do not give her everything. I have a curt manner when I date, and I do not cling to girls. If it's over, it's over.
Q. Don't have plan to write your own songs? Hyunseung: I have an urge to write my own songs. I want to show off my musical talent and earn royalties. I usually write lyrics and make melodies but I think I'm not better than professional song writers yet.
Q. Tell me about BEAST's comeback plan. Hyunseung: We're working on the album. Please wait a bit longer. I think we will be able to make a comeback before summer is over.

Q. Your acting performance in your drama "The Good Wife" was well received by the public. I wonder why you didn’t begin your career as an actress earlier. Nana: I wanted to act a long time ago but I was not ready. Actually, there have been many chances and I had auditions too. I just couldn't seize the chance. Q. What do people around you talk about the drama? Nana: They say they thought I'd not be good at acting but I did better than expected. Q. Didn't you feel much pressure because you had to play the unordinary character who is bisexual as an idol star? Nana: Well, I think I'm not an idol star when I act. The character was very attractive, and I had 5 times of auditions because I really wanted to take the role. Q. How do you practice your acting? Nana: It's been a long time since I began to learn vocalization and basic skills of acting. And I've been learning from my new teacher Ahn Jieun since 2014. I've learned a lot from her. ...
"Do k-pop idols really sing live? It's not an easy question to answer because the answer to the question could be both yes and no. Well, I want to talk about details about k-pop idols' live performance on the stage. Have you heard about MR, AR, LMR, and LAR? If you get to know about these terms, you will be able to have a good understanding of k-pop idols' live performance." MR(Music Recorded) Basically, MR means instrumental accompaniment. Have you been to karaoke? MR is like karaoke music which doesn’t contain the sound of singer’s voice. However, there is no k-pop idol who uses such a clear MR, while all the k-pop idols’ MR contains sounds of their voices. Before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, k-pop idols should make their MR, and the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, while keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t j...
In 2014, EXO's Chinese member Kris filed a lawsuit against SM entertainment, insisting that his exclusive contract with the agency should be nullified. And he finally left the agency, while another Chinese EXO member Luhan also filed a lawsuit against SM in the year. And in 2015, Tao decided to leave the agency too. After filing lawsuits, they said “SM didn't respect us at all. SM has treated us like subjects of control and determined our schedules unilaterally. And we had economic difficulties despite much work.” Well, I think many of k-pop fans may consider unfair contract between SM and the Chinese members as the main reason why the idol singers filed lawsuits. You know, it was not the first time that SM’s idol singer filed a lawsuit against the agency. The former TVXQ members Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong had been in a legal battle with SM for about 3 years, while Hangeng of Super Junior has also filed a lawsuit against SM, insisting that his contract wit...
All the fans of IU may know that the queen of k-pop is not good at finding her way. Then how often do you think she gets lost? Well, she gets lost very often. When she walks on the red carpet, when she films a TV program, and even when she sings at her concert, she gets lost. It seems she always needs someone who tells her where to go, but, yeah, she's really cute!
