[interview/trans] arena homme magazine nov issue - hyunsik Singer & Composer Im Hyunsik Were you very influenced by your father (Im Jihoon)? Since I was young, I regularly went to my father’s concerts and grew up listening to many nice songs and received many blessings. That’s how I was exposed to Stevie Wonder and started liking Negro music. And I also listened to a lot of jazz and blues music. Have you always wanted to be a singer? Actually I have always wanted to do something related to music. Becoming a successful composer, or using songs to express myself as a composer and singer has always been my dream. Although you are interested in music, are you unsatisfied with the prejudice that comes with being an idol who writes his own music? That’s why I was troubled in the beginning. But I think now is the process of achieving my dream so I’m learning with a thankful heart. There are 7 members, among whom you have to split your parts among. Due to your high expectations towards muss, are there any areas where you feel regretful? Actually, it is really hard to show the charms of all 7 members on stage with just one song. In this album, if you listened to the two songs I wrote, you will know that I actually have already expressed each member’s individual personality. In the first place, I was thinking of them while writing the songs so I’m very pleased. Do you think idols can become musicians? This is a question I have ten asking a lot recently. We are very confident in this aspect. Our live version of the songs are quite popular as well.

Because they are people who like us and support us, so I’m very thankful to them. We always see you use the phrase “예지앞사”. What does it mean? It is a shortened phrase of “Loving you in the past, present and future.” That’s why I wrote it this way and now everyone is writing it with me too. During your activities, if there any moment that is extremely memorable? Every moment is very memorable. The people who always come to watch our performances and bring us support, everyone stays in my memory. When we were in Japan, because it was Ilhoon’s birthday, so about 1000 fans wrote congratulatory messages to pass to us and I was really thankful and emotional. If it was my birthday, I think I would already have burst into tears. Towards your fans, or rather when you usually speak, you give a very cute feeling. But once you’re on stage, you exude a very manly and handsome image, especially with your tattoo? The tattoo was done before the release of “Thriller”. It is a short text that my mother sent me when I was going through a hard time. It is a sentence from the Bible that I always carry with me in my heart: “Do not be afraid, I am with you always”. What do you think your manly charm is? I’m quite stubborn. Occasionally I do not listen to what the younger or older members say and argue with them. I’m the type that cannot bear to keep unhappy things to myself. No matter what, I like to settle it quickly and solve it. Any sport you enjoy doing? Skateboarding. When I was in middle school, I once prepared to do it competitively. But after resting for a long time, I now feel it is quite scary and I probably won’t be able to do it. And my skills have deteriorated. Are you still a distance away from becoming a real man? I am burning with action and within my heart. It is the most important to have a burning heart! cr: btobbar ; eng trans: teresa @ fyeahbtob -admin yeobo II
