#세훈 #SEHUN #찬열 #CHANYEOL #세훈_찬열 #EXO_SC #1BillionViews #10억뷰
Q. (On #1BillionViews #10억뷰)
🐥This was the producer Gaeko hyung's idea. Initially it didn't feel right but after deliberating over it we wanted to go with this. We felt that in this youtube era it would be trendy to go with the use of the word 'views'. (Cont)
(Cont)
🍒 You can get the concept (of the song) from the term "1 Billion views". We felt that it would be nice to express it that way since it's an amazingly huge number yet because I like it, I keep watching it. Like the relationship btwn us & our fans.
(On the tracks in the album that are special to them)
🍒We've included a solo song each in this album. Sehun's ON ME & my NOTHIN'. Mine was written using my thoughts that were written on my memo pad & has the msg of me wanting to do music (with this determination). (Cont)
(Cont)
🍒It'll be good to get to know more about me.
🐥ON ME has the lyrics "Even if they misunderstand me I don't want to force them to resolve this misunderstanding. I can't lie." There are many ppl who are having it tough because of human relationships (cont)
(Cont)
🐥and I wanted to tell them that it's okay not to cling onto those relationships. It's okay to just grab onto your core and live with the flow. I myself am trying to live that way.
(On how skillful are they in dealing with human relations)
🍒Generally I'm quite extroverted but quite passive when it comes to human relations. What if someone feels uncomfortable because of me? & it's because of such thoughts that I'm unable to approach ppl actively. (Cont)
(Cont)
Sehunnie is different from me. If there's sth that connects, he'll immediately become friends with that person.
🐥Hyung said that he's a careful person, but surprisingly if he is (set on doing sth), there's no problem at all.
(On how their dispositions differ from each other)
🍒Yes. Our heights are similar but we are totally different. I prefer to play a supporting role to lighten up the atmosphere. In the group, Sehun's the maknae but he's reliable & has leadership qualities. (Cont)
(Cont)
🍒I think it's because of this that our balance is there. Sehunnie pushes forward while I support. When I'm being indecisive, Sehun will immediately decide for us. So through this album we've also shown our teamwork.
(On their differences)
🐥I like that you can feel the energy when sticking to hyung. He's really positive & different from me, who has many worries and concerns. However I think I get along better w ppl who have similar personalities as mine. Honestly it's more comfortable. Haha
(On when they find each other cool)
🐥Hyung is naturally good w musical instruments. Esp guitar & drums. Few days ago he took a vid of himself playing the drums & that was really cool.
🍒When Sehun pushes forward w his own perspective. (Cont)
(Cont)
🍒He shows very clearly what he likes & dislikes and this attitude is much needed when working on songs. You need to be able to say what is good or bad in order to be able to produce good results.
(On what they would choose as an alternative grp name)
🍒We brainstormed for many group names but decided that there was no need to come up with a brand new name. Our goal was to show off what kind of music Chanyeol & Sehun really like as artistes. (Cont)
(Cont)
🍒So we decided to go with sth simple.
🐥Initially Hyung wrote the name as "Chanyeol & Sehun". But the grp name wld then become "EXO-CS" & it wld look like "Customer Service". That's why my name is at the front. Haha
(On the unbelievable moments in their career as EXO)
🐥There are so so many but our very 1st win for Wolf on a music show was really fascinating. It was a scene where we had seen on tv yet we were standing there. Also, the moment whr we won our 1st daesang during MAMA. (Cont)
(Cont)
🐥You're saying we're receiving an award that TVXQ, SNSD seniors have received? It was unbelievable.
🍒When we 1st got the news that EXO's album sold 1 million copies. We sold 1 million copies of a CD in this digital music era. That was really unbelievable.
(On the street where SM office was located during their trainee days)
🍒It was a street near where my high sch was & a street that I wld pass by often. It feels like it's only 3-4yrs ago but it's actually been more than 10 years,& it feels so strange. (Cont)
(Cont)
🍒I also can't believe that I'm alr in my late 20s. When I look in the mirror I don't think I've changed much. I feel like I want to continue being a youth.
🐥I became a trainee at 15 & have spent more than half my life in that neighbourhood. (Cont)
(Cont)
🐥Whenever I pass by Rodeo Street I can't think of anything but the old days. When I was a trainee I nv had enough money for the bus fare & wld always walk, & wld always hang out w the hyungs to get food to eat. Thinking abt it now, they're all memories.
(On what they think is needed in order to grow)
🍒Tenacity. You cannot just settle for what you have. If you live idly you will end up missing out, & I learnt through experience that if you work hard to hold on, you'll end up gaining. (Cont)
(Cont)
🍒It may be hard to climb up even higher but it's not impossible.
🐥What's higher than here?
🍒No idea, what is it?
🐥I've thought abt that before. Where is my position now? How high should I go up? It's so ambiguous to set a standard. (Cont)
(Cont)
🐥More than that, I think it's good enough that you do your best when doing the work that you like. After my debut I learnt alot of things but ultimately, that was my realisation.
