[BTOB] Interview (Newsen) – BTOB Minhyuk, “It’s regretful to have just one gold medal in ‘ISAC’”

< He had achieved medals in all three categories – Gold medal in high jump, silver for 100m sprint and bronze for the relay run, but he still shows a ‘starved’ look. Lee Minhyuk laughed, I didn’t know when I’ve become like this. I started out thinking it as a fun game but it turned into a competition instead. In the past, I had played with futsal players from the national league, and we won. In a high school futsal competition, our team won too.” >

[BTOB] Interview (Sports Seoul) – “We might have a chance to go to restaurants with girlfriends?”

< “BTOB’s weapon is musicality, live and confidence. Up till now, we have been promoting with confidence and presenting our perfect lives on stage. We want to show our best to everyone. Not just performance stages, we want to sing and dance well too. Looking at our seniors of the same company (BEAST, 4minute and more), we are quite envious. But we want to rise slowly, rather than hastily. We want to climb up the stairs step by step but safely, so that we can truly feel the happiness when we really reach there. Also, as a junior group of our company, we want to be a group that senior groups won’t feel ashamed of.” >

[Yook Sungjae] Interview (The Star) – BTOB (Sungjae) Manual “A noona-like person who appreciates me is my best choice”

< Always being called ‘handsome’ may be tiring, but for Sungjae, he is forever grateful to hear such responses and will show his happy face whenever he hears it. It’s a little embarrassing saying it out himself, but when he hears these ‘good-looking’ talk, his self confidence would rise and he feels that he’s indeed handsome. Sungjae also revealed that he purposefully walks on the streets alone just to hear people praising him. But if he hears something like, “so-so”, then his mood will go down for the rest of the day. >

When there is exchange and communication with regards to music, his mood will reach its peak and it would be easy to get closer to him. >

[Lim Hyunsik] Interview (The Star) – BTOB (Hyunsik) Manual “I’m not a guy who will confess easily”

< Talk to Hyunsik calmly, rather than the things he says, Hyunsik focuses more on what the other person has to say. If you were to meet him, smile brightly. You will spend the rest of the day happily with Hyunsik’s half-moon eye smile. The point is that you have to look at his eyes sincerely and smile brightly. >

[Lee Changsub] Interview (The Star) – BTOB (Changsub) Manual “If you want to be closer to me? Please bring up the topic of coffee”

< Changsub was afraid of sleeping alone when he was in kindergarten, so his mum hugged him tightly in her chest and continuously stoked his hair. Strangely, if your hair is being stroked, it is very shooting, and thus to Changsub is his magic potion whenever he can’t sleep. >
