The members of U-Kiss, every week, come to Japan!
U-Kiss, whose 4th mini album Break Time was released in October, has a record of no.1 in Korea album sales ranking and their title track Shut Up!! is also of great popularity. They, who are in top form, are appearing in Made IN BS Japan every Wednesday. We heard from the 7 people who are casted as regular for the first time in Japan.
Alexander: As regular for the first time in Japan, moreover, because it is live broadcasting, I was really nervous at first. Although I also appear in Korea’s variety program, most are recorded broadcasts.
Dongho: I was worried too. Every week, I go Japan for live broadcast, I wonder what will happen. What if it’s not interesting? What if it fails? I felt very uneasy. But, it’s really fun after I tried (laugh). I have come to think it will be good if I could enjoy work in Japan more in the future.
Kibum: When it was only me and Kiseop just 2 people in the 1st round; really, I was worried (laugh). Because there is many times where I am entrusted with Japanese, it is a terrible pressure. When we appear as 7 people, because we can combine power altogether, I’m very glad.
The program is being broadcasted in a glass set-up studio in TV Tokyo’s 1st level. It is in a state loaded with fans outside every week, even to see a glance of the figures of U-Kiss’ members.
Kiseop: I wish to express my gratitude to lots of fans coming forth outside. Although we cannot appear altogether every week, we want to show more of our charms of us 7 people.
Soohyun: The presence of the fans is really gratefully reassuring. However, due to glass reflection from our side, it cannot be seen well. Therefore, we want to go outside more and get closer to the fans. (laugh).
The state of the 7 people, who are feeling the response from the activities in Japan. The things you want to try in Japan from now on?
Soohyun: Because it has been 2 years since we debuted in Korea, we are also close to KARA and 4Minute who are advancing into Japan. However, because there is not yet a chance to get to know the Japanese entertainers…
Kibum: I want to co-star with Japan’s girl groups. I want to be friend with AKB48 (laugh).
Alexander: Wawawa, I want to study Japanese more and talk without an interpreter. And, I want to further show our charms.
Kiseop: I want to do a game together with the fans and play together. Travelling with fans is also good.
Dongho: I want to eat delicious things! There should be a lot of delicious things in Japan, and I want to visit through the program.
As for them who are going back and forth between Korea and Japan, their schedules in Japan are also fully packed. Individual concerts are held on 6th Dec in Osaka and 10th Dec in Tokyo. Japan’s first album First Kiss is to be released on the same day as their Tokyo’s performance.
Kevin: If our Japan album enters the top ranking of Oricon chart, we will be very happy. And we want to show our charms fully in the concerts.
Eli: That’s right. I want to faster reveal the performance of [Shut Up!!] on the stage. I hope everyone see the power of us which our manliness has increased.
Kibum: Because there are many songs I want you guys to listen, I want to prepare well. Even though I think I will surely be nervous, but because I want to show the figure of gangnam (= strong guy) in the concert, please look forward to it by all means!
Special Gross Talk
KIBUM X KISEOP
U-Kiss’ members have deep feelings and are reliable.
Funny Kibum and relaxing Kiseop
Have visited Japan many times, but your favorite place is?
Kiseop (Photo above. Right): Anywhere in Japan is fun to go. The food is also delicious. And, Don Quixote is interesting. Because it is a type of shop which Korea doesn’t have.
Kibum (Photo above. Left): Because there was free time this time round, I strolled around the streets of Yokoyama. There were many pretty noonas.
What kind of woman is your ideal type?
Kiseop: For me, a cute person will be good.
Kibum: For me, will be gentle and stylist woman. Rather than casual, I prefer people of tight style.
U-Kiss’ members seem always to get along well, what kind of people are the members?
Kiseop: Of deep feelings, who care for the members at their side without any selfishness…are warm friends always and are reliable older brothers for me!
Kibum: Because our characters are all so different, when the members are gathered together, it is pretty interesting. When someone does something interesting, other members will promptly look into it (laugh).
If likening the members to animals, what will it be?
Kiseop: As for Alexander hyung… because he is of fine character, umm, ahhh, difficult.
Kibum: As for Kiseop, I say monkey (laugh).
Kiseop: No, well, umm… (bitter smile)
Kibum: Dongho will be dog. Because he is our pet. And Kevin will be a cuter puppy. Soohyun will be elephant! (laugh)
Kiseop: Because Eli is good at pigeon’s imitation, it will be pigeon? Kibum hyung will be a tortoise. Because you can see, a little slow. Can’t wake up readily in the morning too. Because it’s too troublesome.
Kibum: Speaking about you, you look like an anteater!
ELI X KEVIN
Happy that Shut Up!! is popular. The concept is “Bad guy”
The appearance of U-Kiss’ bad guy and pure in-charge!
The response of the new song 'Shut Up!' in Korea is good.
Kevin (Photo left): Very happy. Although the concept is “bad guy”, it is very popular.
Who do you think suit the “bad guy”?
Eli (Photo right): Me… fufufu. And the good guy is Kevin. Today’s clothes also convey that too I think?
Each member is unique. If to use a word to describe their character.
Kevin: Alexander is like the team’s mother. Because he is the oldest, he is a good big brother who takes care of the members frequently. Eli, as you can see, his appearance and his personality also are manly and he is of charismatic presence in the team.
Eli: Kibum hyung is a quick witted raconteur. He is the brain of U-Kiss. Soohyun hyung is really great at singing. He also gives guidance to other members during practices. Kevin is a person who has the innocence like a boy. Kevin alone is in-charge of our pure part. In fact Dongho is the youngest but he is also more boyish than Dongho (laugh).
Kevin: Because Dongho has the experience of studying abroad in China alone, he is doing surprisingly well. But his charms are of perfect score and he is of cuteness presence. And as for Kiseop… though he has a cool image, he is our mood maker.
Eli: Though Kiseop speaks little, he is an incredible funny guy when unexpected (laugh).
Is there any place you want to go after you visited Japan?
Eli: Roppongi’s udon shop! Though it is served in big bowl, it was remarkably delicious.
Kevin: For today’s dinner, we are going there together since I have promised Eli. I’m looking forward to it very much (laugh).
