[TRANS/INTERVIEW] 130313, Cross Gene for Oricon Style The members’ individual personalities are…… -First are introductions; please tell us each member’s individual character and responsibility within the group. [Sangmin] Nice to meet you, I’m Cross Gene’s Organic Gene, in charge of low-tone rap. I think I am an always-happy mood maker. [Takuya] He truly is a bright, fun member. [Casper] In various meanings, he has a smell -What do you mean by smell? [Casper] Especially when he’s dancing, his pheromones and sweat smell good (laugh). [Seyoung] I am Cross Gene’s Miracle Gene, in charge of vocals. It’s nice to meet you. [Shin] He’s kind and polite. [Yongseok] He’s the only member with army experience. [Shin] Also, he often listens to our troubles. He’s good at piano as well, and his specialty is song writing and composing. [Seyoung] (laughing) Someday I want to show it at a live……I’ll do my best! [Yongseok] And he also has a lot of soul. [Casper] He eats well. [Takuya] He’s a good-looking guy who likes chocolate (laugh). —Well then, Takuya, please introduce yourself. [Takuya] Nice to meet you. I’m Cross Gene’s Gorgeous Gene, in charge of vocals, Takuya. Please look after me. [Sangmin] Takuya is tall, but it isn’t just his appearance that’s cool, he’s also kind. Also, he hates to lose (laugh). Therefore, he works really hard at practice. -Takuya, you’re the only Japanese member, 3 years ago you went to Korea alone, but with differences in language and culture, did you have any problems? Looking back on those 3 years now, are there times when the members helped and supported you? [Takuya] At the beginning I didn’t know left from right, I had jumped into an unfamiliar place alone, so I had a lot of worries, and trouble with communicating at first, but because I was staying in the same dorm as the members, I was able to learn various things and get help from them, so I became able to live like it was my own country. -Have the members taught Takuya Korean or Takuya taught everyone Japanese? [Takuya] Yes. It wasn’t organized, but when either of us didn’t know a word, we’d ask “What’s this?” More than anything, the members are interested in Japan, so they also asked various questions. -What kind of place did you hear Japan was from Takuya? [Sangmin] The convenience stores are good (laugh). -Have you been able to go to a real Japanese convenience store? [Sangmin] Every time we stay in Japan, I go every day (laugh). -Is there something you were especially interested in buying in a Japanese convenience store? [Youngseok] Karaage. [Sangmin] I love gummies. [Yongseok] Japanese convenience stores’ karaage is truly delicious! -Certainly. Well then, if Shin would introduce himself. [Shin] I am Cross Gene’s Presh Gene, specializing in vocals. Please ask the members about my personality (laugh). -Everyone, please tell us what kind of person Shin is. [Takuya] Shin is, at any rate, cool! [Shin] (Laughs) [Takuya] He does drama and modeling activities, therefore I think his image seems like a refreshing good-looking boy, but in reality he’s manly and reliable, and definitely an older brother. That gap is his charm I think. [Yongseok] He’s a hard worker and smart. He’s also generous. -After all he’s an older brother! By the way, is there anything he’s given Yongseok? [Yongseok] Karaage (laugh). [Shin] It’s because if I’m generous to the members, they listen to me (laugh). -I see~. How believable (laugh). [Yongseok] As expected he’s smart (laugh). -Well then, Yongseok’s introduction. [Yongseok] Hi everyone, I’m Cross Gene’s Mypace Gene Yongseok. I’m in charge of vocals and the youngest (laugh). [Shin] Yongseok is definitely mypace, but that he sticks to his own opinions to the end is one of his good points I think. [Yongseok] I’m the youngest in the group, but because the older members lend me their ears, I’m able to emphasize my own views. -Of course because you respect each other, that should be true. [Yongseok] Yes. I have a feeling of support from all the members. -Well then, lastly, Casper. [Casper] I’m Cross Gene’s Wild Gene, in charge of high tone rap, Casper. I’m from Shanghai, China. [Shin] Casper is really good at Chinese (laugh). [Casper] Of course (laugh). However, Korean and Japanese are still difficult, there are a lot of things I have to remember. However, that’s life. Similarly to Takuya, at the beginning I didn’t know the language, I didn’t have friends, every day I had stress and pressure, but having the members together was extremely reassuring. [Shin] However, he doesn’t say anything and endures alone, and his personality is sensitive and feminine. [Takuya] His cooking’s also good. [Casper] However, no one has eaten it (laughs). [Yongseok] In regards to cooking, I won’t lose! [Shin] If it’s cup ramen, I won’t lose to anyone either (laugh)! [Takuya] Casper has a manly appearance and a powerful image on stage, but usually he sleeps a lot, and has a tidy and methodical personality. ~~~~
