Q. You have wrapped up your solo activity successfully. How do you feel? Sungkyu: It was my first solo album in 3 years, and I did my best to promote the album. Before releasing the album, I talked to Nell's Kim Jong Wan, "I hope I can be proud of the album." I'm proud of it now.
Q. You have double title tracks, 'Kontrol' and 'The Answer'. Are there any reasons you selected the two songs as title tracks? Sungkyu: At first, I considered 'Kontrol' and 'Alive' as title tracks. However, people said that 'The Answer' is more easy to listen to. After mastering 'The Answer', I thought the sound is really awesome. I'm deeply attached to the song.
Q. Both of the title tracks have gained great popularity, anyway. Sungkyu: Actually, I thought 'Kontrol' will be more popular than 'The Answer'. However, many people liked 'The Answer' better. Yeah, the outcome of the album is hard to foretell. I'm so grateful for my fans' infinite love.
Q. After you topped music chart show, did you talk with the Infinite members?
Sungkyu: Yeah, I made a boast of it and promised them that I will stand shot to them. I thought the members will never watch my performance on music chart show, but they watched it. They said it was good.
Q. Didn't they advise you?
Sungkyu: Hoya talked about dance performance. He told me that it would be better to show some more dance performance on stage. Well, I didn't accept his advice, though. He's a dancing machine, but I'm not.
Q. You are 27 years old, and the title of the album is '27' too. Is the album autobiographical?
Sungkyu: Nell's Kimg Jong Wan, who has produced the album, said that he wanted to tell my stories through the album. And I told him my life stories. However, I'm not sure if the album is autobiographical or not. I think some parts of the album is autobiographical. After being thirty, I want to sing about my life, loneliness, and happiness.
Q. Don't you have a plan to hold your solo concert?
Sungkyu: If I have a chance. I think I have sufficient songs to sing because I've released 2 mini albums. I have my solo songs that were included in INFINITE's album too. I want to hold my solo concert within this year if my agency allows it.
Q. When will INFINITE's new album be released?
Sungkyu: We're working on the album. We were originally scheduled to release the album in May 2015, but it was postponed. We'll hold an exclusive concert too.

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...
"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...
