[GENIE SPECIAL-INTERVIEW] A to Z about "Dress Up" by Boys Republic
Boys Republic Members' 'Personal Scent'
Q. You've returned after only 5 months since "Video Game", the first amongst your fantasy trilogy. Please say your thoughts for this comeback~
(Onejunn) As much as the fans have waited, we've really poured in a lot of effort into this album. I think we'll be able to show a cooler appearance this time!
(Sunwoo) Finally, a comeback. Because we'll be able to meet our Royal Family again, I feel really good! Please anticipate an exciting stage!!
(Sungjun) Really!!! Firstly, a big thank you to all the fans who have waited for us! Please anticipate a lot!!!
(Minsu) Finally, we can give you a look into Fantasy Trilogy Part 2! "Dress Up". As much as you've waited, we'll show you a cool image. We ask for lots of interest and support.
(Suwoong) My confidence is as much as I have prepared over a long time, I hope to show all of it on stage.
Q. Have you done anything else in these 5 months besides preparing for the album?
(Onejunn) I did what I want, paid attention to the things I could do better at and practiced. Acting, dancing, personal talent, composing, etc.. It's been a time where I could level up a stage more than the me of the past.
(Sunwoo) I've been receiving acting lessons separately. If an opportunity comes to me the next time, I think I'll challenge acting too!
(Sungjun) I've been writing lyrics while resting and burying myself deep into popping dance. I've been dancing to the dance(s) that I like to my heart's content and was absorbed in making music.
(Minsu) Dancing's a given, I've also tried song writing with the other members.
(Suwoong) Personally, I've been learning acting, it's really fun! If there's an opportunity later on, I'll definitely want to challenge acting!
Q. Please show off this album's charming point!
(Onejunn) Even if you look at the clothes and choreography just once, it's impossible that you won't fall into its charms. That is this album's point!
(Sunwoo) Please look out for Boys Republic's cute and lovely image that is unknown to everyone besides the fans!
(Sungjun) You'll know it if you listen to the song but "dress prettily and come out" comes out about 30 times. If you listen to the song once, the effects of having listen to it thrice shows.
(Minsu) The charming point is our uncolored(?) image! I'd like to point out that this album is an album where you can see each of the member's personal charms.
(Suwoong) Seriously, anybody can listen to it and it's a highly addictive song that will stay in your memory.
Q. The exposed slender ankle on the album jacket is impressive! Whose ankle is it?
(Onejunn) It's Sungjun's ankle! Sungjun's legs are pretty. Handsome ankle boy?^^
(Sungjun) Ahahahahahahahaha Turns out it's Sungjun-ie!!!! It's my ankle!
Q. Looking at the jacket pictures, it doesn't seem like you took it at an ordinary place, where did you film? How was it?
(Onejunn) We shot the jacket pictures at an editing shop located in Apgujeong! Next time when you go shopping, you should head there once!
(Sunwoo) It's the first time we shot our jacket pictures at a clothing shop but I think the pictures came out well so I'm satisfied.
(Sungjun) It's the first time we stepped outside of the studio so the shooting was really fun, I didn't notice the time passing so everything ended quickly and pleasantly.
(Minsu) The day we filmed was a weekday so we had to take the shots quickly before the shop opened. Coming out from the studio and doing a shoot like this was a first so I was really worried about how the photos would turn out, but they came out so prettily. Next time too, I want to shoot outdoors instead of a filming set.
(Suwoong) Like the hyungs said, it was our first time filming at a clothing shop. It was somewhat fresh and because the direction was a lot more free, the pictures seemed to turn out well.
