[INTERVIEW] EXO-K, “Before getting on stage we shout 'let's love'” (Part 2)


“Even though I’m his hyung, he’s really sexy.”
We were a bit worried since they could have given us short answers due to the rookies’ unique (/characteristic) shyness, but EXO-K’s Suho, Kai, D.O, Chanyeol, Sehun and Baekhyun outshined that worry and shared their stories joyfully.
EXO-K have a lot of interests in various fields such as variety, dramas, and not only stages (/and not just stage performances; They...), they said that if they got the opportunity in the future, they’d like to try various experiences.
Baekhyun: “I want to try everything. Of course, right now I’m focusing on the stage but I want to try and challenge various experiences like variety, dramas, musicals.”
It hasn’t been long since EXO-K did (/had) their debut but they (+already) had the opportunities to do big concerts such as the ‘Dream Concert’ and the ‘SM Town Live Concert’ held in the US.
Suho: “The ‘Dream Concert’ was a stage I really wanted to stand on and I attended ‘SM Town Live Concert’ before debuting and I remember wondering ‘When will we stand on that stage?’. But thinking that I’ll stand on this kind of stage with seniors that I respect a lot makes me really happy and honored.”



It seems that all the members think differently of each other’s qualities. They thought about which quality was so charming they’d like to steal it from each other. Even during the ‘Praising Time’ where they could get embarrassed, the members were overly chatty and were all “There’s this thing too”.
How (/what) does Chanyeol think of D.O? “D.O is very domestic. At the dorm, he takes care economically of the members(/he takes care of the members economically) and cooks well for us too. He looks really cute but he’s very deep in the inside (/on the inside). He’s also well organized and when we make a mistake he takes care of it one by one. Even for the trivial things he could let go, he takes care of it (/them) well, he’s the #1 housekeeper.”
How does D.O think of Kai? “Even though he’s my dongsaeng, if I see him like this (/looking at him like this), he’s really cool and sexy. It’s to the extent that I’d fall for him while looking at his performance on stage. His expression game is really different than usual rookies’. Even when I ask him for a part I don’t know during dancing practices, he’d teach me really carefully without being annoyed at all.”
How does Kai think of Baekhyun? “I think he has two opposed charms in his looks. On stage, he is full of charisma and when he’s off stage he’s really cute and fun, he becomes an energizer. I’m thankful because he’s a hyung but always made it enjoyable.”
How does Baekhyun think of Suho? “When thinking of the leader (/a leader/ - perhaps more suitable), you could think he has a grasp on the members and punishes us severely(?) but Suho hyung is really the one that has the ‘calm charisma’. He’s a cool hyung that solves things with calm discussions, he also buys us a lot of tasty food, he asks to the members one by one if something is happening, he gives us advices for our problems too. He is exemplary on every side. And he mixes really well honey-water!”
How does Suho think of Sehun? “He’s really cute and his eyes are lively. His milky-white skin is really pretty too. He’s very shy but he’s also mischievious and very cute maknae. Also, he’s good at collecting informations such as the CDs’ sales volume, it’s a member who must have this kind of things.”
How does Sehun think of Chanyeol? “He’s the happy virus who will always make the mood happy and make you laugh even without knowing it just by being next to you. He’s very lively and vivacious, he laughs a lot. Also because he’s attractively tall, he’s really cool. His husky voice is charming.”
Before getting on stage, the EXO-K members hold tightly each other. And they say ‘let’s love’. Because they have each other to hold them and support them like this, EXO-K can have even more dreams. EXO-K are only taking their first step, these handsome young boys are going to make tomorrow and our hearts are already fluttering to know with what kind of light it’s going to shine.
Suho: “Before getting on stage, we shout ‘EXO Let’s love!’. I suggested it, ‘let’s love’ includes our members and all of our fans, it means let’s enjoy the music we do and everything!. Enjoy with us!”
