[Yook Sungjae] Interview (COSMOPOLITAN) – ‘Yook’ Sungjae ‘Good’ Looking, ‘Falling’ Again! – CELEBRITY Reading

October 3, 2024

< “The concept of this album is ‘a closer look revealing Yook Sungjae’s new side’. Rather than ‘true’, I think it’s more to the ‘other’ side of me. Not what I’ve presented until now, not the Yook Sungjae that’s liked by the public, but the side I want to show you. So you would feel quite a difference from BTOB Yook Sungjae’s voice.” >

[Peniel] Interview (News1) – “Secret to improving Korean quickly? It was love”

October 3, 2024

< “One advice I want to give is to enjoy it. When a foreigner come to Korea, they would inevitably feel cultural differences. But it’s something you want to do, so I think it will be fine if you enjoy it. For me being on stage is so much fun. Being an idol comes with a lot of sacrifices. You have to endure it, and enjoy it as much as possible while understanding Korean culture. There is another crucial reason why I’m able to be an active Kpop singer for more than 10 years. It’s the good members. Meeting good members makes me able to endure many things.” >

At first, I was scared and nervous. My first musical stage was probably the most nervous moment in my life ever.” – Eunkwang >

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

October 2, 2024

< 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.” >

But because of our very own mindset, (we understand) that we can only work harder (to do well in the future).” >
< “We feel that now is just the starting of a marathon where everything can be changed anytime. We will work even harder, just like how the frog grabs its position before it  jumps. We will maintain our pace with the faith that we will shine some time in the future.” – Changsub >
