OUT OF ALL PERFORMANCES, WHICH RESPECTIVELY DO YOU THINK WAS THE BEST?
Using the umbrella in the performance is impressive. Do you have any episode (story) or memories associated to "umbrella" until now?
Ren: Memories related to the umbrella ... (Thinking back)
◆ Maybe someone with an umbrella.
Baekho: I don't have this kind of story (laughs). I'm from Jeju Island. Jeju Island is a place where it's raining heavily and violently blowing strong wind. One day, the wind was blowing violently. I was walking around with an umbrella, when the umbrella flipped upside down and as I went back home, I was wet by the rain... It is not interesting isn't it... (laughs)
Ren: When I was in elementary school,
a girl...
From everyone: a friend?
Ren: Yes, I remember that I was with a girl holding an umbrella walking down the street.
◆ Wow! In elemetary school?! (laughs)
Everyone: Hahahahaha!
Ren: Because it was in elementary school, it was pure (laughs).
Minhyun: I also have memories of the time in elementary school. Way back from school to home, there was an uncle who stand in the rain without an umbrella. Since my house was near, I gave him my umbrella.
Everyone: Oh ~!
◆Well, I wonder do you like your own 'Voice'? What do you think about your voice?
Aron: I don' t know well by myself, but people around me it's different from my usual voice when speaking english.
Minhyun: I love my voice. I'm grateful to my parents.
Ren: I often get told "That's somewhat a unique voice!" so I like my voice.
JR: I have thought too much about it, so I'd usually say it's good but it's a little embarassing to watch an video and listen to my own voice (laughs).
Minhyun: Eh~ is that so?
Baekho: I wasn't expecting that my voice after the surgery would be the same as my voice before but it came out that I had very good voice when I sung after the sugery on my throat vocal cords nodules, so I really like it. But I am a little bit disappointed I would be glad If I got a more husky voice.
◆Out of all performances (live) of NU'EST until now, when was the [Best Performance] (live) for you?
Ren: For me, it was a live when we appeared on a event at Tokyo Dome (2011) I was too nervous but by overcoming it I think it was good to be on stage.
Minhyun: For me, it was an regional event in Korea, but that day it was it was really raining alot. For the visitors who came to our stage, we tried even harder. I think it's the best live.
JR: For me, I think this tour is the best one.
Beyond the limit, we were able to show a new charm on stage. We've grown up.
Baekho: I also think it's this tour. My throat was healed, however I thought my voice will treble but I was feeling good as it came out clean enough. I really felt good singing.
Aron: It's not a performance we had recently but a few years ago in the United States. At that time, I performed for the first time in front of the family and friends in America so it left a very deep impression, which will remain unforgettable.
-After the TVXQ Concert in Dome, the members went to the karaoke and sang TVXQ songs.-
TO WHAT GENRES OF MUSIC HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO SO FAR ?
PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THE MUSIC CHANGE!
Aron: When I was at a very young age, I was very fond of HIPHOP and R&B. Even now, I like it very much, but I also love Soul music.
Minhyun: At the time when I was a junior high school student, I saw TVXQ everyday on TV, and started to love them. When I became a trainee, we had to listen to many POP songs. Right now I listen to R&B to practice the different kinds of music.
Ren: I listen to various music such as Pop, J-POP, K-POP. Also, even now I like songs that my mom was listening to.
◆To which songs did Ren's mom listened to?
Ren: Old pop. Like THE BEATLES, or 송골매 (old korean hit rock band).
When I was a child, I was't interested in music, so I mostly didn't listen to any. The first time I listened to K-POP when I got a trainee. Because I like RAP now I listen to HIPHOP.
Baekho: Me too even before I became a trainee, it wasn't because I really liked a song, it was enough to listen to the song that was popular at that time.
I didn't listen until I bother looking for a song on my own.
◆The other day, after seeing the TVXQ concert in DOME, all members went to the karaoke and sang the songs of TVXQ. It was a pretty exciting story on the net (laughs). Saying "Let's go to karaoke! ", please tell me the first song you sing.
Baekho: It's「NA.NA.NA.涙」.
Ren: For me「Shalala Ring」.
Minhyun: Usually when we go to karaoke, we really always sing our song first.
JR: Practicing (laughs)
Baekho: But even when singing their own songs in karaoke, somehow they won't sing well. Don't you think so?
Everyone: (at the same time) Certainly. It's like this isn't it~
Baekho: That's why if you go to the karaoke, you will understand how really difficult a song is to sing.
Minhyun: Karaoke is more difficult than dancing and singing on stage (laughs).
◆Please give advice to the people who want to sing NU'EST's new song「NA.NA.NA.涙」in karaoke.
Minhyun: Because in this song emotional expressions are important, so if you happen to experienced a broke up with your lover, please sing it while thinking of that time. And then it will be perfect!
Baekho: I have a different opinion. I think if you sing a sad song in karaoke that the atmosphere is more important then the emotions. The dance has a simple choreography, so I think it might be interesting to imitate it while singing.
JR: While listening closely to the instrumental, close your eyes during the rap part to feel the flow of free style.
Baekho: It's good to improve isn't it!
