The Star Interview [Music Monster – Yong Junhyung] TS: Today, the last episode of MONSTAR airs, but you aren’t able to watch it. What to do (about that)? Junhyung: I’ll just watch it sometime later. Hahah. TS: It’s your first drama, but it’s a hit. I’ve watched well, the kiss scene which became a hot topic. JH: Ah, the kiss scene… It’s done right from the first drama. (laughs) I discussed lots with the director beforehand so it ended well without any glitches/episodes. Of course there were NGs. As the we moved closer to each others’ faces, there was much cold sweat. TS: From the viewer’s point of view, it was fun, with the fresh love line with Min Sei. In reality, what is your type when it comes to love? I’m the type who tries as much as possible to be together (with th other party) but even though that I’m not one who disregards everything else. So when I’m in a relationship, I become more diligent. If there’s something to do, I do it in advance. TS: Seems like you adjust well between work and love. JH: I try to balance well but since I’m human too, I think I tend to be biased to one side. Honestly, if I said I could control that (balance) well, it in itself will be a lie, isn’t it? TS: Well, it lacks a human touch. There needs to be the taste of diving straight into love. JH: Yes of course. Hahah. TS: These few months of filming, album preparations, album activities, you’re busy, so there will be no personal free time right? JH: Yes. For the past three months, it has the tightest schedules since my debut. After ending filming, I go to the production studio; after making productions, I go home, wash up and head to the filming location. Sleep is only for a short period while commuting (to and fro) – such repeated (sleep) pattern is really tough on the body. Especially during the final month, it was like crisis. I was really worried, if I wasn’t able to do well on both ends, but since I’ve accomplished both, I think it’s good that I’ve done it. TS: Even though you were so busy, you managed to produce this album entirely. Isn’t there any point that you’ve felt the pain of composition? JH: How can there not be. When there are no thoughts, there is even a time I couldn’t write a single song a month. During that time, I have fun. I don’t know if the method I found is good, but I go out to meet the people I’m close to and have a drink, and at some point, we let go and have fun. After that, the next day I have a good rest and the following day when I recover, I go to the production studio and the ideas will flow. It’s amazing. Humans can’t only go on packing in/filling up, definitely. TS: What preparations are you making for the concert in Busan in September? JH: As for Busan, since it is a concert, it is meaningful to us. The fans from the other cities continually come to Seoul – it is not an easy matter. This time round, we will head over and put on a suave performance, and make more communication with the Busan fans. Busan people are also very warm. I’m looking forward to it. TS: If you were to press “LIKE” button for a member now, who will you give it to and why? JH: Doojoon. Verbally, “as a leader, I don’t have to do much” is what he says, but that’s not it – and you can see it from the sidelines. Even if there is a problem, Doojoon’s character is cheerful so he doesn’t show it and forgets about it shortly. When we see such a side, I want to supplement (him with) energy but I don’t really know how to do it. TS: Ey, you just have to do what you’re doing now. These days, the general trend (i.e. hot topic) of Beast is Junhyung. JH: I’m thankful if you think of it like that. Actually, the term “general trend” does not come across to reach me well. If in the case (I) am the general trend, then I haven’t been able to feel it through any moment yet. I couldn’t even rest a week after the end of the drama. I think it will have to be until October that I’ll be able to calmly take a break and go on a holiday for just a week. TS: That’s the evidence of being the general trend. JH: That too depends on the album – if we do well then I’ll be able to go; otherwise I won’t be able to because of the guilt. (laughs) Having done the producing for this album, I have nightmares every night. Rather than hearing comments like “You’re just so-so”, I’m the most afraid of words like “Because of you, we’re done for.”. Because when I hear words like that, the motivation to write songs disappear. Fortunately, people have received (the album) well and (I gain) support through it, and saving the songs for the next production. -Nabi-
