#Jaehyung (180cm, 61kg, 23 years old) - In charge of visuals in the team. In contrast to the cold impression he gives, his warm and lively smile is his charm. His resemblance to his senior previously in the same company, Kim Hyun Joong, became a topic of conversation before his debut.
POST KIM HYUN JOONG
Those are very heavy words... after it was said that I look very much like him, there were many negative comments. But it is true that I watched and learnt from Kim Hyun Joong-sshi.
Coming from the generation that grew up watching X-man, I respect him and think that his straight-speaking manner is really cool. Would you believe it if I say that the day he appeared in front of me, I could not stop trembling and could not speak either? The advice that he gave us that day, that if the 7 of us becomes 1, there will be nothing to be afraid of, is engraved into my heart. It's often said that Kim Hyun Joong-sunbaenim resembles Yamashita Tomohisa in Japan, so when he himself suddenly told me 'oh you look like Yamapi!' I was totally shocked. 'Does that mean that you acknowledge that we look alike!?' I swallowed back that question and we took a photo together.
That day, I felt as if I had struck lottery. There was also lots of incoming support from overseas. I will show more of my diligence so as to not smear any dirt on his name!
Before n After Debut
Initially I had held the thinking that even if we are rookies, things will go well as we come from DSP afterall. But after debut, I opened my eyes. Faced with the reality that without hard work, no one would be able to rise, I threw my previous expectations away.
The seniors that have became legends of an age past, and the seniors that are currently active, all of them are real victors that have beaten their own selves, I told myself that like them, we have to 7-be-1 and become a cool, superb unit.
OH MY HERO!
Maybe others would call me conceited for saying this, but I think the hero in my own life is myself. Born as a man, I have to challenge everything, and if we A-JAX are going to do it, we want to become the heroes of the K-Pop industry, and standing in the center of that is me, Seo Jaehyung, who has been given that role... that's why I say so. (Translator's notes: Sorry for the awkward phrasing, the japanese official version sounded as awkward... or maybe it's just our dear big-headed Jaehyung's problem. Hahaha...)
A Term To Describe Myself
"Look cool" and "being cool" is different. I prefer to "look cool". People tend to pay more attention to someone if they are not really that cool, but just trying to act like it. The image of someone who looks perfect on the surface but is actually full of imperfections. I'll like my nickname to be "Heodang Jaehyung" (someone that's odd/empty-headed and easily confused.) I heard a lot of times that their first impression of me is someone cold. I want to appear interesting to others, so I have a higher desire to crack jokes and appear funny. In truth, I am a warm man. (*translator is now cracking up*)
