00:27Did

00:30It's their first time to be here in the UAE.

00:43They're happy to see that many of you are in love with them and liking their music.

00:51So how did you feel performing on stage and did you expect this kind of reaction?

01:00They didn't expect this kind of reaction from the fans before they came here.

01:11The reaction was really great and they had fun together with them while they were performing.

01:19So they also enjoyed the performance.

01:22This is a fan question.

01:24Fans told me that you're really into calligraphy.

01:28Have you ever looked into Arabic calligraphy?

01:30I've never looked into Arabic calligraphy.

01:34There's a book that looks like Arabic.

01:40But I haven't looked into Arabic calligraphy yet.

01:44I've seen the fans do it for me.

01:47But I haven't used it yet.

01:52He hasn't tried himself or looked into it.

01:58But he's seen the English calligraphy in Arabic style.

02:05And his fans also give Arabic calligraphy to him.

02:10So only those.

02:12When will you be announcing your official color?

02:15We also want to announce it soon.

02:19But there's a process.

02:22So we'll think about it slowly.

02:24One day, we want to announce our official color.

02:27But there's a process.

02:30So we'll think about it slowly.

02:33One day, we want to announce our official color.

02:36One day, we want to announce our official color.

02:38Jian, you came back from Greece.

02:42They told me that you're like Zeus.

02:46Is Zeus your favorite Greek god?

02:49Or are there any others that you like from Greek mythology?

02:51When I was in Greece,

02:54I said that I like Zeus in Greek.

03:01And I wanted to say that it's TMI.

03:06But I guess my Greek pronunciation wasn't good enough.

03:09So I said that.

03:12But I like Zeus a lot.

03:14And when I hear that I'm like Zeus,

03:16I feel confident.

03:18What happened is, during the performance,

03:19he tried to speak in Greek.

03:22But he likes Zeus.

03:24Too much information.

03:26That's what he wanted to say.

03:29Until too much information,

03:31he tried to speak in Greek.

03:33But maybe it wasn't understood

03:36because of his pronunciation.

03:38He said he likes Zeus.

03:41And he said later to be called Zeus by fans.

03:45But anyway, he likes Zeus.

03:47If you weren't idols,

03:49what would you have pursued?

03:52First of all, Sang.

03:54Sang's choice.

03:57He's so special.

03:59I talked about it a lot.

04:01Since I was young,

04:03I liked dinosaurs.

04:05It was my dream to be a dinosaur.

04:07Dinos.

04:09When he was young,

04:11he really liked dinosaurs.

04:13So his dream was to be a dinosaur.

04:17So his dream was to be a specialist

04:19in dinosaurs.

04:21Special doctor, let's say.

04:23Yeah, I went to art school, yeah.

04:25Anybody else?

04:27For me,

04:29I only thought about being a singer.

04:32Never thought of anything else other than singing.

04:35To be honest,

04:38when I was in high school,

04:40I was in a coffee shop for 3 years.

04:43But then,

04:45I quit the job after 3 years.

04:49The manager told me

04:51that if I kept doing it,

04:53he would give me the job.

04:55So I thought I was in a coffee shop.

05:13The owner of the coffee shop told me

05:16that if I kept doing it,

05:19he would give me the job.

05:23So I thought if I didn't become an idol,

05:27he would give me the job.

05:29He's probably the owner of the coffee shop.

05:32For me,

05:34I don't look like it now,

05:36but when I was young,

05:38I studied hard.

05:40I really wanted to be a teacher.

05:42He used to study hard

05:44when he was a student.

05:46He really wanted to be a teacher.

05:50Nice.

05:52What language?

05:54What subject?

05:56Music.

05:58Oh, nice.

06:07I recently got a hobby.

06:09I really like playing games.

06:12There are a lot of popular YouTubers

06:15who do one-person media content.

06:19I think I might have become a YouTuber.

06:23Yeah.

06:25These days,

06:27there are so many creators.

06:29Creators.

06:31He's thinking that

06:33he probably has been another creator

06:36on YouTube.

06:37Not Taekwondo?

06:39You do Taekwondo, right?

06:41No Taekwondo.

06:43Who has changed the most since debut

06:45and in what way?

06:47It's not just one person.

06:49All of our members

06:51have changed.

06:53It's not a bad thing.

06:55It's a good thing.

06:57We've become more ambitious.

06:59We've become more ambitious.

07:01We've become more ambitious.

07:03We've become more ambitious.

07:05We've become more ambitious.

07:07We've become more ambitious.

07:09I was surprised

07:11that our members have grown

07:13more than when we first performed.

07:15I was surprised that our members have grown

07:17more than when we first performed.

07:19I think all of our members

07:21are changing.

07:23We're moving forward

07:25step by step towards becoming artists.

07:28He wouldn't say one member has changed.

07:30All of the members

07:32he wants to say

07:34both rather than change.

07:36They actually feel

07:38that they've become more enthusiastic

07:40and they're putting more effort

07:42than when they first started.

07:44Even during the European tour

07:46it was only 10 days

07:48but even during that

07:50they could see that they were growing

07:52and they were artistically

07:54more enthusiastic

07:56and putting more effort.

08:01Yeah, growing more.

08:03Okay, I got it.

08:05What do you guys do

08:07when you're not in fact?

08:09All of our members are different.

08:11Some of us play games.

08:14Some of us work on music

08:16when we're not in fact.

08:18Some of us practice

08:20but when we have time

08:22we rest.

08:24Some of us watch movies.

08:26Some of us travel.

08:28I think we're all different.

08:30But when we're on stage

08:32we're just normal 20-year-olds

08:33doing the same thing

08:35that other 20-year-olds do.

09:03Did you travel around Dubai

09:05while you were here

09:07and did you try any Arabic food?

09:30to go around the city.

09:31They will have time tomorrow

09:33so they wish to see

09:35some more of Dubai.

09:38Food-wise,

09:40they tried the food

09:42just before they came

09:44to the performance.

09:46They tried the Arabic bread
