Hello, it’s been a long time. This post is just to talk about the dramas I’ve started, but never got to finish. Some of them I dropped because they were just getting too boring or disappointing, and/or because I just didn’t feel like watching them anymore. And a few of them, I dropped, but really want to finish them sometime in the future, whether it’s because people said they were good, or just for the sake of completing them. Here are the dramas that are on my list of “to finish”:

• My Name Is Kim Sam Soon
• Delightful Girl Choon Hyang
• Bad Guy
• That Winter, The Wind Blows
• Time Between Dog and Wolf
• High School King of Savvy
• Fated to Love You
• Discovery of Romance

Three Days: Final Episode

Oh my god, it’s the last episode already… HERE WE GO.

Please, don’t die, President Lee Dong Hwi. 😥

He better not die. He’s not going to die, right? He’s the main character!!!

안돼!!!!!!

That’s my brother’s birthday. O_O

What?

OMG, the explosives where taken out of the truck. THANK GOD.

“I survived.”

I feel so bad for these men. What 개고생 are they going through? 😦

Of course, they all died. *weeps*

T___T

He’s going to resign anyway. He’s not going to be president any longer…

The president protects his citizens.

Haha, the irony of it all. Like the current Korean president and her predecessors thought that way. The sad truth that only two of them did.

Ah, I really hope that lady who helped the president doesn’t die. The preview showed the explosive control case being hidden under her feet. 😦

What’s the prime minister being all mad about?

Oh, okay. He’s worried about the president’s safety.

I wonder if the Yangjinri incident is real, or something like that really happened. Did they make the tower specially for the drama?

OH GOD. What are you doing now, Kim Do Jin???

Smart moving, Tae Kyung.

Ah, damn it. That was probably too short.

Wait, is that the last scene that we were shown a few episodes ago? On March 14th, at 20:30? O_O

Oh no, the second bomb.

Agreed.

Well, it doesn’t really matter  if you hand out your life. He’s going to kill more people even after you die.

OH SHIT. Another bomb went off. He’s going crazier by the second.

Oh no, this time actual casualties.

Aw, the guy who’s reporting all of this looks so sad. 😦

You’re kind of late, Yoon Bo Won.

Oh, I guess it’s the third bomb they’re going to hide the control case to.

So what if they found him? Can they actually stop him? It’s not going to be that easy.

SHIT. WTF?

It’s someone else!!!

NOPE, it’s not him. He doesn’t die that easily!!! GRRRR…

Told you so. IT’S NOT HIM… *cries in disappointment*

Who was the one that was sacrificed?

Oh, shit. Our president’s mad.

I think he’s one of Kim Do Jin’s henchmen.

Ten minutes is too short…

“What could be the last ten minutes of my life…”

Oh, you’re going after him and leaving the bomb work to the others.

OH GOD DAMN IT.

SHIT SHIT SHIT…

TOLD YA SO. THAT MAN IS CRAZY. He doesn’t keep his promises, either, LOL.

(LOL, why is his henchman surprised at that?)

Good shooting, Tae Kyung. You’re the only one I’ll trust with a gun.

OMG, he got shot. Then shoots back and kills the guy. O_O

Oh no, is he a criminal now?

Wait, there’s another bomb left, isn’t there?

The lady survived, with her daughter! (Why is the daughter so young?)

WHAT? What bomb he did he take? The one that they hid so well???

OMG, he’s going to take it to die with Kim Do Jin. That would be epic, actually. XD (Bittersweet, let me tell you though.)

Yeah, when did he start planning all this?

WTF, they can’t set it off there!

LOL, he’s so badass.

“PUSH IT IF YOU WANT TO.”

Hahahaha. 미친놈.

Too bad they didn’t make Falcon seem like that much of a bad guy in this drama.

LMAO. “You’re just their dog.”

Wait, where are you going, Mr. President?

Oh, this time it’s set to 10 seconds.

OH MY FUCKING GOD. That was completely out of nowhere. And lasted one second.

And what the f*ck. A flash-forward? Complete WTFery right here. *mental breakdown*

Less than half left.

I can’t take this right now. WHAT THE F*CK???

He died. If only Kim Do Jin died with him.

Obviously, Tae Kyung.

At least his friend didn’t die. 🙂 (half smile)

Although he looks a little different, LOL.

Money?

Denial.

OMG, Kim Do Jin died. *celebration*

Yeah, I guess he’s right.

And the prosecutor is right, too. I hope that’s a reality…

Wait, Prosecutor Choi Ji Hoon died, too? Suddenly sad…

No, he didn’t! HAPPY. 🙂

David Choi’s music in the background. ❤

What, they’re not dating, right? Not so quickly after the whole incident?

Yay, she was promoted, too. (Hehehe…)

She’s not a sergeant anymore, dude.

LOL, flirting and jealousy.

What’s Tae Kyung’s job now, water delivery guy?

Cute.

To meet you, stupid. LOL.

Oh, ok. Still working for the PSS?

HAHAHAHA.

Hopefully close to my place? LMAO.

Ah, flashbacks…

It’s very cute and all, but why is the romance suddenly taking over the last half of this episode?

It’s supposed to be a finale!

Even then he held her like he loved her.

How long has it been, for him to be okay?

AWWWW… The president died… 😥 *shedding a flood of tears*

T____T

Aw, they include flashbacks for the friendship line, too. Yay for male-female friendship!

She’s very lucky to have survived.

HAAH… Stop making me cry (on the inside)…

<3<3<3

노무현 대통령님…

“고맙습니다. 당신은, 날 지켜줬습니다.”

OMFG, HE’S ALIVE. WTF? LOL.

Yay, a perfect happy ending?

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY.

How it should’ve been… 😥

(Although many people did die… At least the president survived?)

Oh my god, only four minutes left.

Oh, so that’s why he ran. He was saving himself! YAY! 😀

Yay, Mr. President, for thinking so smart and wise. (The flashbacks were what was going through his head.)

Wow, “You’re All Surrounded” will premiere tomorrow. So fast!

Monstar: Final Episode

The highlights of “Monstar” were the music breaks, the Seol Chan-Se Yi couple, and the interactions between students in this drama. Set in high school, this was technically a coming-of-age story, but it brought a more healing sense/feeling in the drama. Ultimately, Se Yi comes to terms with the truth about her father’s death, Seol Chan finds that other half, who, through a series of events, allows him to open himself up to others, and Han Ji Woong (Se Yi’s father’s friend) slowly comes to connect back with the outside world. Almost all the characters in the drama are hurt mentally and spiritually, tortured “monsters” each in their own sense. With the experiences of our characters in high school, one could say that this drama truly reflects the saying, “아프니까 청춘이다,” or “It’s youth because it hurts.”

Miss Korea: Final Episode

Oh my god, I can’t believe I got to this point. I’m so excited!!! Now that Hyung Joon and his Vi Vi team has FINALLY started to get some success with their new lipgloss product, it’s time for Ji Young to find her own dream for her future. Honestly, I was pleased to find out that Yoon didn’t turn out to be just a dickhead who is trying to get Ji Young for himself, and (kind of) surprised when he took an action that was sincerely meant for Ji Young’s sake. I was kind of thinking along Hyung Joon’s idea of him, which now makes it more sad that Yoon never got to completely express his feelings for Ji Young. Although he wasn’t a very good wooer or didn’t seem like a very nice guy, he still really liked Ji Young. At least (the oh so attractive) Lee Ki Woo didn’t end up playing a very disappointing character. Personally, I’ve found Hyung Joon’s character to be very, put nicely, displeasing, mostly as a love interest for Ji Young. But I’ll get on that more later. The main thing I will be looking forward to in this final episode is the revealing of Ji Young’s dream, and especially how she gets to discover, or develop that dream. If this drama is able to deliver on that, I’ll consider that a win. So far, most (about 80-90%) of the drama has been solid and very satisfying for a long-time Korean drama watcher like me, so I really hope they don’t disappoint with this finale. Hwaiting, drama! 🙂

***

Although it’s kind of 아쉬워(?) that President/Director Ma never gets to have a deep emotional connection with Ji Young and her other trainees, I think it sticks to her character and personality, and at least Ji Young gets to have her as a mother-like person and role model, and she does help Jae Hee and become close with her.

It’s a start! 😉

It kind of is all thanks to her, to be honest.

Yeah, so unexpected of him!

But seriously, where and how did he learn to cook?

Hehe, switching of traditional gender roles. 😉

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But Hwa Jung has also lived by herself a long time, too. Right? Maybe because he didn’t have as much money, so he ate at home, and Hwa Jung had the money to eat out?

Why won’t she tell him?

LOL.

Oh, he’s finally telling her about Yoon! What will her reaction be?

She’s surprised.

They never know unless you tell them. It’s the unwritten rule of love.

Laptop has overheated. Switch to phone.

This is harder than I thought it would be…

How about we do this? Watch on the phone, type this on my laptop. So much easier. *relieved*

Actually, I think I’ll be able to watch on my laptop without being caught. We’ll try this…

Oh no. What did you do, Choon Ja?

Ah, such a shame.

She’s too naive, oh poor soul.

Of course, you too. LOL.

No, you should’ve quit! But is he lying? It’s so weird that it’s trying to be a good thing… *mind boggled*

HAHAHAHA. See the look on his face!!! XD

He’s a good negotiator, you gotta give him that.

OH NO. LOL. (22 revisions and counting)

Hehe.

Ugh, I can’t stand Lee Ki Woo in this. *fangirl dies*

I took a screenshot, but the quality isn’t very good. 😦

Aw, did you learn something from all those years? *pats head*

He said she’s his first love!!! LUCKY GIRL.

Ah, I just remembered! In the last episode, right after she realized she didn’t have a dream, he called her, asking about her future plans, and saying that he would support her. Oh my god, I am loving this character arc the writer gave for Yoon! He can at least help her achieve her dreams. T_T ❤

Ah, I was too early on that. Well, at least he could give her a few good last words?

“힘들게 돈 벌어서 네가 좋아하는 사람들 행복하게 해줄 생각 하지 말고, 네가 좋아서, 네가 신나서 할 수 있는 일로 결정해. 그래야 너의 주변 사람들도 너 보면서 오랫동안 행복해.”

I’ve realized how Yoon is the only one who’s asked Ji Young what she wants to do from now on. Even her boyfriend, Hyung Joon has never really asked her about her future plans. I’m glad Yoon is able to be a supportive admirer, a sturdy pole/pillar (OMG, “Flower Ramen Shop” flashback!) for his first love. This is also only one of the reasons why he would make a better partner for Ji Young than Hyung Joon in my opinion, and I’m glad the writer made Yoon into a more fleshed out character and a different second male lead. It makes me wonder, if Yoon had been able to sincerely express his feelings for Ji Young back in high school, would he have had a better chance with her?

Of course President Ma had deeper intentions. 🙂

Aw, Yoon. Don’t smile so sadly… 😥

I’m sorry, but Lee Sun Gyun looks way too old to be a high schooler.

Hahahaha.

The parent showdown.

I like this girl. So selfish. LOL.

Wait, did he rip that, or did his mom?

What’s Teacher in Jeju for?

OHHHH.

AW. LMAO at Hong Sam’s reaction.

Wait, Kang Woo liked her too?

They’re so random. LOL.

Jung So Min cameo!

But isn’t she really short? O_O

8 more minutes, and it seems Ji Young won’t find her dream yet.

I hate people who always say, ” I’m ignorant,” “나 못났어.” >_<

Hehe, switching of roles again!

It’s Onew’s voice… ❤

And it’s the end, with a kind of summary.

Waikiki. 🙂

THE END!!!

***

I have finally finished this drama. Yay!!! It took me a while, maybe I’m getting too old for this, LOL. I guess my fastest will be three days for the 16 episodes of “You’re Beautiful.” I’m glad I got to watch “Miss Korea,” it was put on my radar when various people raved about it, and I got the chance to check it out this spring break. To be honest, it wasn’t a cracktastic fun kind of drama, but it was a very heartwarming drama with a satisfyingly rich story. Usually, a fun drama makes me overlook its flaws because it’s so entertaining, but “Miss Korea” was able to work my brain and let me see its flaws, which I think is a good thing.

First of all, a big round of applause for having such an awesome and beautiful (both inside and out) heroine. This drama was her story, which is very rare in the land of Korean dramas. She isn’t your typical female lead, where she isn’t completely nice and innocent (as seems to be the default for most female characters), but she isn’t cold as ice either (I’m looking at you, rom-com workplace dramas with “strong” female leads, for example “I Do, I Do,” and most recently on a softer note, “I Need Romance 3). In that aspect, the writer did a fantastic job of writing such a complex character like Ji Young. Spunky, she has the guts to stick up for herself when needed, and cannot stand injustice in front of her eyes. Although she likes to pretend like she is the foxy, sly type when it comes to guys, in reality she is the type of girl who ends up loving only one man her whole life. In love, she remains her brave and straightforward self, never hesitating to express her love and staying true to her feelings. However, she is very naive and unsure of herself at times, and often depends too much on the love of her life, Hyung Joon. One of the few things I had a problem with in this drama was when Ji Young was persuaded by Director Ma to do the breast implant surgery, but in the end her mind is changed by Hyung Joon’s words. Ideally, I would want that last decision to give up the surgery to be made solely on her terms, her own thinking, but to a certain extent, I understand why she would do that. It’s still consistent with her character, and shows that she isn’t completely perfect. Therefore, this only makes it more believable that a character like Ji Young could exist in real life. 😉

In the beginning, I said that I would talk more about Hyung Joon. Honestly, I did not like his character, probably more so because he was such a disappointing love interest for Ji Young. From a Korean woman’s perspective, he would be one of the worst dating/marriage candidates, mainly in terms of money. Throughout most of the drama, the only thing he did was pull Ji Young back and continue defending his stupid self-confidence and self-esteem. I got that Ji Young loved him, but all I could think when they were together was that Ji Young was too good for Hyung Joon. It didn’t help that Lee Sun Gyun played his role in a very off-putting arrogant demeanor, and everything he did (I mean EVERYTHING) put him in bad terms with me. I’m almost sure he did that on purpose, to make Hyung Joon’s character more hateful. It’s so weird, because he was very cool/attractive in “Coffee Prince.”

Overall, “Miss Korea” is a watching experience I’ll never forget. I think this is one of the first dramas I’ve seen that had all 3D characters, each with their respective moments to shine, and fleshed out as real people interacting with each other. Seriously, I cannot think of one character that could’ve/should’ve been thrown out, from the slightly conniving Yang Choon Ja’s dreams of becoming number one as a runner-up her whole life, to Jung Sun Saeng’s story of rising up and becoming more than some mere gangster. Although I initially wanted a clearer and more definite ending to this drama, I’m satisfied with how realistically everything concluded, with Ji Young looking forward to finding her real dream, on an open-ended note. You know I’ll always be rooting for our special girl, the Miss Korea of 1997. 🙂

I haven’t blogged here in a while, but I’m writing this post just to say that “양큼한 돌싱녀” might just be my new drama crack.  I’m always looking forward to watching the newest episode. I like it more than I thought I would, and have unknowingly fallen in love with it. It has just the right feeling of a romantic comedy. ❤ ❤ ❤

You’re Beautiful: Episode 6

Highlights

• The next day, Mi Nam’s manager, Manager Ma, finds her asleep on top of Tae Kyung. He imagines the most hilarious and weirdest situations that could’ve happened to lead to this.
• Mi Nam’s aunt comes over to their room and wakes up Tae Kyung by patting him on the butt, which he finds highly uncomfortable and an invasion of his personal space.
• He Yi makes a visit to A.N.JELL’s company in order to see Tae Kyung, but he refuses to let her into the recording studio. She threatens him and says that she will find out who the mysterious girl he was with the other night is. He Yi stops by the rehearsal room, where Mi Nam is, and makes the (slightly) suspecting comment that Mi Nam doesn’t feel like a guy. Mi Nam gets to know that Tae Kyung supposedly likes He Yi, which makes her feel all tingly again. He Yi catches Mi Nam with the other A.N.JELL members, and gets very jealous of how well everyone treats her.
• A.N.JELL’s CEO announces that Mi Nam will be releasing her own single before the release of their sixth album.
• The stalker reporter comes to a conclusion that the mysterious girl might not have been Yoo He Yi after all.

Reflections

I’ve been (officially) watching Korean dramas for 2-3 years now. During that short time, I’ve managed to watch many dramas, despite the fact that I’m still in school, and therefore maybe had more than my fair share, in a way. I can now be considered an expert, at least in terms of experience, aka the number of hours I’ve invested in Korean dramas. SO MANY HOURS. Now, I’ve come to the point where I can’t afford to spend my time on worthless dramas, or at least, I don’t have the patience and tolerance in me to do that.

Therefore, I have vowed to myself to be a lot more careful when choosing dramas to watch from now on. I know that they’re mostly a source of entertainment for me, but I feel like they should still be worth the watch, the spending of (almost) endless hours staring at a screen. Even if it’s just for fun, my dramas will still have an impact on me, and I choose to watch those that leave me with generally good feelings, and if possible, some kind of realization/revelation or lesson learned through all of it. 😉

There’s also the fact that I have several dramas that I’ve dropped or have on hold, as of now. About those… I’ve decided that I will need to come up with at least one or two valid reasons for picking them up or continuing to watch them. For example, I feel the need to pick up “King of Dramas,” because it’s literally about the Korean drama-making industry. “My Name Is Kim Sam Soon,” because so many people say they like it, but honestly because I’m so close to finishing it (and it’s not that bad of a drama).

In conclusion, I’ve come to the point that at least 70-80% of my drama watching will be decided in terms of worth, the rest for pure entertainment and according to my mood/feeling. I hope I get to keep this promise! 🙂

I Need Romance 3 OST

Peppermoon – Peu A Peu

J’ai une fleur chez moi
Qui pousse, qui pousse
Sans l’arroser vraiment
En douce, en douce
Inexorablement
Elle pousse, elle pousse
Et son parfum me prend

Je ne la voyais pas
D’abord, d’abord
Car elle a pris son temps
Elle sort, elle sort
Un peu en hésitant
Au bord, au bord
De mes sentiments

Et un jour
On ne peut plus faire semblant, quand
Tous les petits riens devenus grands
Les racines se font sans un bruit
Tous ces petits riens qui m’attachent a lui
Oh, tous ces petits petits petits riens

Et peu a peu, comme en camaïeu
Peu a peu, un lent matin blanc
A viré au bleu désarmant
Peu a peu, je me prends au jeu
Peu a peu, et très innocemment
Je veux cet amant

Peu a peu, comme en camaïeu
Peu a peu, insensiblement
Comme deux aimants amoureux
Peu a peu, je me prends au jeu
Peu a peu, comme un envoûtement a deux

Oui, un jour
On se dit le prince charmant
Fait partie de ma vie depuis longtemps
On y pense, on rêve, on sourit
On est partis pour croire en la magie
Oh, on est partis, partis, partis loin

Et peu a peu, comme en camaïeu
Peu a peu, dans un frémissement
J’ai ouvert les yeux fatalement
Peu a peu, je me prends au jeu
Peu a peu, comme un envoûtement
Je veux cet amant

Peu a peu, comme en camaïeu
Peu a peu, insensiblement
Comme deux aimants amoureux
Peu a peu, je me prends au jeu
Peu a peu, comme un envoûtement a deux

Vixx The Celebrity Interview

VIXX가 한 자 한 자 꾹꾹 눌러 쓴 인터뷰!!데뷔 2년 만에 가요계를 정복한 빅스가 눈 덮인 산 정상에 올랐다. 혹한에도 끄떡없는 스타일리시한 솔루션을 찾고 있다면, 여섯 남자가 제안하는 감각적인 윈터 룩을 눈여겨보길.

VIXX가 한 자 한 자 꾹꾹 눌러 쓴 인터뷰!!

비주얼적인 임팩트가 굉장히 강렬하다. 뮤직비디오도 그렇고. 부모님이 깜짝 놀라시지는 않았나? ‘우리 잘생긴 아들이…’ 하시면서.
레오: 이미 ‘다칠 준비가 돼있어’, ‘hyde’ 때 놀라셨기 때문에 괜찮았다.
홍빈: 놀라시기 보다는 우리 아들 얼굴을 다 가려놔서 어떡해~ 라고 장난스럽게 얘기해 주셨다.
혁: 처음에 진한 메이크업으로 얼굴이 잘 안 보인다고 싫어하셨지만 무대에 서니 사진 찍힌 모습을 보고 시간이 지나며 적응하신 것 같다.
엔: 이미 ‘다칠 준비가 돼있어’ 때부터 강한 컨셉트를 봐오셨기 때문에 이제는 약하면 심심하다고 말씀하신다…
라비: 음… 멋지다고 좋아하셨다. 물론 수위가 강한 인서트 컷에선 좀 놀라셨다고 하셨다.
켄: 부모님이 제일 먼저 피부 걱정을 해주셨다. “아들~화장 진하게 하면 피부가 되게 나빠지겠다. 항상 깨끗이 세안하고~!! 스킨, 로션 잘 바르고 자거라” 라고~~

컨셉트가 강해서 기억에 확 남는 장점이 있는 반면, 멤버 개개인의 개성이 잘 드러나지는 않을 수도 있다. 자신의 존재감을 어필하기 위해 다른 멤버 몰래 해 본 것이 있다면?
레오: 존재감을 어필 하기 보다는 내 파트에 주어진 것을 소화하기 위해 표정 연습 정도?
홍빈: 나만이 낼 수 있는 표정과 느낌을 만들도록 거울 앞에서 무한한 노력.
혁: ‘몰래’라기 보단 보통 본인 파트가 아니어도 항상 컨셉트에 맞게 표정연기나 제스츄어를 하고 있는다.
엔: 멤버 개개인의 개성이 드러나지 않는다는 생각을 해본 적이 없다. 그래서 항상’ 나’만의 존재감을 어필하기 보다는 ‘빅스’를 어필하고 싶어한다.
라비: 개인 존재를 어필하려 하지 않았다. 내 역할에 충실했고 내가 할 수 있는 것 이상을 보여주려 했다. 그게 ‘빅스’를 보게 하고 그 후에 나를 보게 할거라 믿었다.
켄: 다른 멤버 몰래 해본 것은 없어요. 전 저의 개성이 잘 드러나는 것 같다고 생각하기 때문!

비주얼적인 부분 외에 다른 그룹과 빅스의 차이점은 무엇이라고 생각하나?
레오: 빅스는 컨셉트가 확실한 팀이다. 컨셉트을 잡고 음악, 메이크업, 무대까지 극대화시켜 하나로 통일 하기 때문에 한 편의 드라마를 보는 듯한 느낌을 받을 수 있다.
홍빈: 확실한 컨셉팅! 보여지는 이미지뿐만 아니라 노래, 가사, 퍼포먼스까지 통일된 느낌. 그리고 무엇보다 멤버들과의 끈끈한 우정~
혁: 컨셉트에 대한 몰입력과 보는 이들에게 그것을 전달하는 표현능력.
엔: 무대, 앨범 재킷, 노래, 가사, 비주얼, 의상을 모두 컨셉트에 맞춰 대중들이 빅스의 컨셉트를 정확하게 이해하게 하는 것!
라비: 컨셉트의 극대화. 빅스처럼 비주얼, 음악, 가사, 앨범구성 이 모든 부분에 하나의 컨셉트에 맞춰져서 스토리텔링이 확실한 그룹은 없는 것 같다. 또한 그 이해도와 표현력이 좋다고 생각한다.
켄: 하나의 컨셉을 두고 다방면에서 그 컨셉트와 맞도록 비주얼, 퍼포먼스, 표정연기 등등 많이 연습하고 이해하면서 ‘하나의 컨셉트를 여러가지로’ 보여준다는 게 차이점이라고 생각해요.

무대에서는 주로 슈트를 입는데, 평소 옷 입는 스타일은 어떤가?
레오: 평소 늘어지는 옷을 좋아한다. 피트함과 아방가르드한 느낌을 섞어 입는 것을 좋아한다.
홍빈: 딱히 정해진 스타일을 없지만 여러가지 꾸미는 것보다는 깔끔하게 입는 것을 좋아한다.
혁: 보통 심플하게 캐주얼한 옷을 입을 때도 있고 때론 과하게 힙합, 스트리트 스타일로도 입는 편이다.
엔: 댄디하고, 깔끔한 스타일을 좋아한다. 과한 악세서리나 옷은 X… 누가 봐도 ‘아이돌!’스러운 옷은 싫다.
라비: 스트리트 패션을 선호한다. 모자나 신발, 양말 같은 아이템도 좋아하고 다양한 스타일도 다 좋아해서 이것 저것 시도하기도 한다.
켄: 평소에는 여러가지 옷으로 스타일링하는 편이에요. 어떤 스타일로 입을지 이미지를 보고 도움을 받거나 잡지를 보다가 괜찮은 스타일일 있으면 사진으로 찍어놓고 그 스타일로 입어보기도 해요.

뮤직 뱅크 첫 1위 했을 때 펑펑 울더라. 1위 발표가 났을 때 무대에서 가장 먼저 든 생각은? 혹은 가장 먼저 떠오른 사람은?
레오: 누군가가 떠오르기 보다는 지난 시간들이 생각났다.
홍빈: 처음에는 너무 놀래서 눈물도 나지 않았다. 1위가 될 수 있을 때까지 응원해주고 도와준 스탈라잇과 할머니의 얼굴이 가장 먼저 생각났다.
혁: 정말 신기하고 믿기지 않아 어리둥절했다. 그 자리에 지금의 빅스가 있게 해준 별빛분들? 그리고 우리 가족들?
엔: 1위하기 전부터, 1위한 후에도… 빅스에게 1위라는 멋진 상을 준 스탈라잇.
라비: 기뻐서 울었다. 1등을 한다며 펑펑 울고 싶었는데, 정말 그렇게 눈물이 나더라. 나를 응원해준 내 꿈을 응원해준 사람들이 생각났다. 가족들과 팬들이다.
켄: 정말 신기해서 눈물이 안났어요~ 가족과 Jelly fish 회사 사람들이 많이 생각났죠~!! 특히 황세준 대표님과 김병선 대표님!! 항상 감사한 우리 VIXX의 아부지.

축하 파티는 했나?
레오: 대표님께서 맛있는 저녁을 사주셨다.
홍빈: 대표님게서 소고기를 사주셔서 오랜만에 배터지게 고기를 먹었던 것 같다.
혁: 따로 하지는 않았고, 끝나고 대표님이 고기를 사주셨다.
엔: 대표님과 한우파티를 했다. 곧 빅스끼리도 할 예정^^!!
라비: 다음날도 스케줄이 있어서 대표님과 멤버들과 고기를 먹고 들어왔다. 파티? 수준은 아니였던듯? 멤버들끼리 다시 즐길 예정!
켄: 축하 파티는 하지 않았지만~ 대표님과 스태프분들과 같이 소고기를 먹으러 갔어요. 맛있었어요~!!

오늘 화보 촬영 컨셉트가 ‘윈터스포츠’다. 좋아하는 겨울 스포츠는 무엇인가? (이유는?)
레오: 스키, 스노우보드 스피드감을 좋아한다.
홍빈: 스키! 겨울이 되면 누나들과 스키장에 놀러가곤 했는데 잘 못 타지만 재미있었던 기억이 있다.
혁: 스키와 스노우보드!! 한번도 타본 적은 없지만, 재미있을 것 같다.
엔: 눈썰매. 단순하고 시원하다.
라비: 스노우보드를 좋아한다고는 하지만 마지막으로 타본게 중학교 2학년? 때이다. 재미있고 멋있어서 좋다!
켄: 스키! 데뷔하기 전 겨울마다 스키를 타러 갔었기 때문이에요! 스키를 잘타는 친구나 형한테 많이 배우기도 했고~ 잘 탔던 순간부터 정말 재미있었던 기억이 나요.

‘윈터스포츠’ 외에도 좋아하는 운동이 있다면?
레오: 축구, 거의 모든 운동을 좋아한다.
홍빈: 어렸을 때부터 쭉 농구를 좋아했었다.
혁: 축구.
엔: 자전거타기. 가벼운 조깅.
라비: 헬스와 축구, 농구를 좋아한다.
켄: 야구, 탁구, 족구, 태권도 등등이 고등학교 다닐 때 배워보기도 하고~ 친구들과 자주 즐겼던 스포츠여서 많이 좋아해요.

눈이나 스키장에 얽힌 에피소드나 추억은?
레오: 없다.
홍빈: 스키장에서 처음 보드에 빠져 시간가는 줄 모르고 타다가 무릎에 푸른 멍이 들었다.
혁: 초등학교 때 첫눈이 와서 마냥 신나서 친구들과 눈사람을 만들어 교실로 가지고 들어왔는데 수업이 끝나니 다 녹아서 선생님께 혼났었다.
엔: ‘눈’하면 가정 먼저 떠오르는 것이 하나 있다. 어린 시절 아버지께서 나와 누나를 큰 대야에 태우고 이리저리 썰매처럼 끌어준 적이 있다. 아주 어릴 때이지만 이것 한가지는 강하게 기억난다! 아주 행복했었던 것 같다.
라비: 딱히 없다.
켄: 스키장에서 최상급 코스도 갔다가, 많이 넘어지고~ 다친 기억이 나요. 그 이후로 최상급은 한번도 안갔어요. 무서워서~^^

눈이 펑펑 오는 날 가장 하고 싶은 것과 이유는?
레오: 창이 큰 카페에 앉아 사람들을 구경하며 커피 마시는 것.
홍빈: 눈이 펑펑 오는 날 밖이 잘 보이는 까페에서 따뜻하게…
혁: 펑펑오니 쉬어야죠…ㅎㅎ 집에서 TV도 보고 오랜만에 여유를 가지고 곰처럼 먹고 자고 창밖에 오는 눈도 구경하고. ㅎ
엔: 아무도 밟지 않은 운동장에 가서 제일 먼저 발자국 남기기!
라비: 카페에서 여유롭게 시간을 보내며 커피와 빵을 먹고 싶다. 뭔가 따뜻하고 아늑하고 일상적이면서도 특별할 것 같다.
켄: 예쁜 우산을 들고, 따뜻한 겨울 외투를 입은 뒤 아름다운 거리를 걸으면서 발자국을 남기고 싶어요.

2014년 1월호니까. 새해에 꼭 이루고 싶은 것 하나만 말해보자. 이유도 함께.
레오: 빅스를 더 많은 사람들이 알았으면 좋겠다.
홍빈: X
혁: 빅스가 더 알려지고 대중들에게 사랑 받는 그룹이 되어 트렌드가 되는 것. 멤버 한명 한명 각자 하고 싶은 일을 차근차근 성공하는 것? 모두 모두 잘되고 행복해야 하니깐 ㅎ
엔: 빅스가 트렌드가 되었으면 좋겠다. 그리고 빅스가 더 많이, 지금보다 더 가까워지는 한 해가 되었으면 ^^
라비: 빅스가 트렌드가 되었으면 좋겠다. 그러고 다양한 작업을 해서 프로듀서로도 활동을 더 해보고 싶다.
켄: 2013에는 VIXX가 이루고 싶은 1등가수!! 라는 타이틀을 얻었기 때문에! 2014년에는 VIXX가 트렌드가 됐으면 좋겠어요!! 아이돌이기 전에 연기와 그림, 예능, 작곡을 해보면서 또 다른 재능을 찾아서 1등을 해보고 싶어요~! 아티스트가 되고 싶어요! 사람들에게 인정받는 아티스트~♥
