January 2013 Inkigayo Magazine Interview 2013년 1월 인가매거진 인터뷰

 


Having recently appeared in a fashion pictorial 'AUM PARTY', Jaehyung, with his statue-like looks that seems to have came straight out of a painting, has now added modeling to his list of credits, but it seems that he has not given up on his very much mismatched desire to be "Heodang Jaehyung". With a theme of "a man who's prettier than a woman", and looks like that of an art object, but a shockingly out-of-place character prone to throwing out unfunny gags, his unpredictable character is his charm. To this, the fashion world stretches a welcoming hand, and thinking that this is his chance, the company is trying to repress his gag instincts. "I enjoy being different from what people expect me to be, from my appearance. But, I like being honest. I want to show people the "Jaehyung" that is true and un-manufactured, but it seems that the company is still a bit worried as I've not learnt to 'filter' what I say and do..." True to his nature, these words escaped from the team's visual. He has a body that maintains ideal proportions even without much exercise and a un-imitable V-line, but to show us more of his straightforward self, he finally revealed one truth. "To be honest, I'm not a skincare makeup mania. I don't apply anything! I hope the talk about the 'secret method to maintaining my skin' that I did on a radio show interview can be forgotten... I don't even wash-up properly... it's totally commonplace of me to just fall asleep from exhaustion without even removing my makeup at times. But... I still have to give my skin some time to breath, right?  Recently it's become very cold so the air is very dry, hence, before sleeping, Brand B's moisture cream is my must-have item. Everyone, moisturising is important! Make sure that you make that your everyday routine!" (So that's the "Truthful, or rather, Daring" Seo Jaehyung, *claps*!)            

My Homage Seniors Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Jaejoong.  Their personalities and the sensation and 'feel' of their performance is something that I definitely want to try to express too.  

 

 

 

(Translator's Note: This is a series of questions that is trying to make a pun out of the song titles... )

 

2MYX
The legendary 90s Boy Group that inspired A-JAX's music this time: I like Nsync. It's afterall the group that produced a superstar like Justin Timberlake.
A marketing plan for 2MYX that only Jaehyung can do:  Is to go in the direction of a "bad boy".  To express through lyrics, the typical bad boy like in Bi-sunbaenim's "Rainism" or Taeyang-sunbaenim's "Only Look At Me".  To draw a connection that links a "bad boy' and an "attractive man" .
Like in To My 'X' Girlfriend (2MYX) , I am the type that gets deceived without a warning. I also dealt with it with it very... coolly. (Translator's Note: EH!? WTF!? WHICH GIRL WAS SO BLIND AS TO CHEAT ON HIM!?!?)

 

Catch Me if You Can
A song about getting revenge after getting hurt by the opposite sex. And also forgetting about it. I've not had any experience getting such revenge till now, but it seems that I am the type that will get revenge back as much as I was hurt.... but that's actually a joke, I am the type that will not take a big revenge but will instead forget it soon enough, haha.
It seems that I'll do it a bit faster than the other members... the possibilities out there for the facial visual? (Haha, you know I'm joking right?)

Your Song
Musicians that are well-received by critics, and my personal tastes runs to Kim Hyun Joong-sunbaenim, Yamashita Tomohisa, Chris Brown - music that is sorta R&B with a sexy feel to it. TVXQ-sunbaenim's "Before You Go" is a good example of it.
Next Album's Color: I would like to have songs that's for the fans - a genre that's similar to the bright and cheerful "Your Song" ...

 

Fan Service

What I have received is: getting increasing number of good fans. What I have lost is : the ever-increasing feeling of regret when parting, that is so many times worse than before... that is the sad truth.  
Fan Idiot: It's fine if I'm called a fan-idiot. To boast a little about our fans, no matter what the situation, even if it's raining or snowing, they still come to watch over and support us!
To take a little peek at your Wish for the New Year of 2013: I want to be together with lots of fans. Other than at the TV station (music program broadcasts), I wish to also make many different memories with the fans at other events. I want to meet them directly, look at them in the eye, hold their hands, and build up faith and trust happily with them. In order for that, first, A-JAX must turn out well as a group. We also need to shine in various ways through active participation in individual activities. I'll have to work hard. Yosh!
