Q4. Your dream when you were young?
Jinyoung: A singer and actor. I went up to Seoul twice a week to take singing and acting lessons. I managed to snag some roles in CFs and dramas.
CNU: A singer. My mother was a trot singer and my sister did pansori. I thought that it was only natural for me to be a singer. I was the vocal in a band during my school days.
Sandeul: A singer. It was during middle scool that I really set my heart into doing it.
Baro: I vaguely remember saying I want to be a movie actor. I challenged acting in the music video, adnd it was hard.
Gongchan: I wanted to be a scientist! I felt that it would be really cool to have an occupation that would let you invent new things. Or maybee it's also because I did well in both math and science.
Q5. How did you enter the entertainment industry?
CNU: Sandeul and I joined singing festivals. Baro and Gongchan got their chances to audition through their photographs uploaded on the Internet.

Jinyoung: To be a humble person, and not to do anything rash after realizing our dream. I always feel that we should never forget the people around us who made us what we are today, and always be thankful to the fans.
CNU - To not rationalize (or give excuses)! Because when we give excuses for our mistakes, we become a person who has no development.
