1. My favorite artist is Will.i.Am from Black Eyed Peas. I think he’s really cool! Beside being really cool on-stage, but also when he writes songs and during his performing activities. I constantly have this feeling of wanting “to be like Will.i.Am.”
2. I want to write more songs and listen to other artists’ new songs. Recently, my favorite song has been ……. “Lift Off” (featuring Beyonce) from Jay-Z and Kayne West’s collaborative album. The song’s not bad at all.
3. Favorite fashion is also Hip Hop. Semi-Hip Hop!
4. I barely have any free days (laughs). But if I do have time to rest, I would write songs!
5. I want to eat shish kabobs! The place I want to visit most is the large music store in Shibuya. I want to go see our album. It’s in a large market!
6. I feel like I have a good personality (laughs). My thoughts are very positive. That doesn’t seem bad at all. Even when I do something wrong, I would think about it objectively and think positively for a solution. That’s why I chose my personality (laughs).
7. To BARO: “Baro ah, you’ve been doing so well. You must continue to work hard. Our second mini-album. All the members were really united and worked hard together, so let’s work hard in our performance!

Favorite color: Black
Favorite music: R&B, Soul, Punk
1. My target is the overseas artist Usher. When I was younger and saw Usher on the stage, so happy and cool, he became a target for me to work toward and become an artist like him. Usher is a multi-talented performer, and I would want to become that kind of a singer as well.
2. To watch my favorite artists’ movies and go to concerts. Whereever I can learn to become a better performer on stage, I would work hard. 
3. I wear very simple and convenient clothes.  Like a pair of pants and a Tee. It’s not convenient/comfortable to wear elegant clothes, so that’s why I like simplicity with regards to what I wear.
4. I’m almost always in the practice room. If there was time … I would use it for self-improvement. To read that books I haven’t had a chance to read, listen to music, clean up a bit, cook a little (laughs). Yeah, it should be these things.
5. To go to Kitazawa. There are lots of little cute things there, lots of little toys, and their street market left a big impression on me. That’s why I want to go there again. And like what Jinyoung said, I want to go to the large music store in Shibuya to see our album. Want to eat chicken shish kobabs? Ah! It’s chicken shish kobabs! (laughs)
6. What can I do best? I often hear people say my smile is really nice (laughs). So, my smile.
7. To SANDEUL: Even though he is my younger brother, he often takes care of me, and I end up learning so much from him! So I really thank him for that! For B1A4’s success, let’s work hard together! Geniunely work hard to become everyone’s favorite group. Love you!
