Photo credits: @/quinsehun has kindly shared the pics so I can translate right away but the pics wont be shared since many haven't received their copies yet!

👤: What do you think of once you heard the word summer?
⚡️: Hot! I can only think of this in the first place (laughs) I actually dislike summer the most. I would want to run away from the heat.

Also, watermelon! It is the most tasty fruit in the summer. I don't really eat fruits normally but I really watermelons. Summer = watermelon.

👤: Did you always dislike summer?
⚡️: I feel like I wasn't as (weak) about the summer when I was in primary. I used to be a kid that likes to play under the heat. But I became more weak about summer.... (laughs)

👤: How do you like spending your summer?
⚡️: I like to spend it indoors with my air con switched on. Even if I go outside, I will be visiting shopping malls indoors. I enjoy movies too so I will visit late shows in the cinema as well.

👤: How did you spend your summer holidays when you were a student?
⚡️: When I was a student I remember spending my summer holidays in tutorial lessons. My parents are quite strict about education so I spent a lot of time in tutoring sch. (laughs)

When I was even younger I used to play with water 🔫 as well. The water 🔫 I used to play with will have half of it leaking when I tried shooting with it (laughs)

It reminds me of those days today during this shoot. But the quality of the water 🔫 is good today. I though water🔫 will leak all the time.(laughs)

👤: What food would u like to eat in the summer?
⚡️: eels and chicken ginseng soup. I would want food that gives me stamina(energy). ah, but rather than wanting to eat I feel entitled to eat these food. (laughs)

Since I feel like I lose energy due to the sweat, I would want food that increases my stamina. There is a word called "Sambok" in korean and there were three days to it. I will eat (those food) during those days. first day it will be chicken ginseng soup,

the second, eels.. something like that. I will eat these food no matter what happens(laughs) The members love food like these as well. Not even in the summer, but when we prepare new albums me and my members will eat these kind of food.

👤: favourite summer fashion?
⚡️: I like the type of clothes I am wearing today! I love clothes that are comfy for the summer. Instead of clothes that fit, I like over sized t-shirts, my tension will go down if I wore fitting clothes that stick onto me due to the sweat.

in terms of colour, i usually wear black no matter which season it is. My wardrobe is 50% filled with black gourmets(laughs) I don't usually wear white that suits the summer, I also wear bright yellow and grey if not black.

It is hard to have a lot of variations with summer fashion. Thats why I will wear rings and bracelets, watches etc. And actually I don't really like wearing sunglasses either, I like to wear rings and bracelets as details.

I actually own quite a lot of bracelets made of beads and bangles. I used to wear chain bracelets but lately I am obsessed with beads bracelets.

👤: Were you the type that plans to do your summer homework?
⚡️: I was the type that had my homework clogged up. But instead of the last day, I will begin doing it slightly earlier, around a week beforehand. (laughs) Diaries, summaries of books read, workbooks etc...

even if there were many I will still do everything by myself. I hate writing summaries and thoughts after book reading most. I like DIY homework most, I have made a windmill with kibigara.... it reminds me so much of my old memories talking about this

👤: most memorable summer holidays in private?
⚡️: I went camping with my frds during high school. We had a tent in the beach and I can never forget about how fun it was. We had bbq, fireworks, ate watermelons... but there were some happenings.

We had meat but no one brought any utensils for it and we can't begin our bbq for it... (laughs) We played paper scissors rock and the one that lost had to spend an hr and a half going to the shops alone. It is like hitch hiking since the shops are so far.

Btw I was one of those who won (laughs) We went together as a group of nine and this teenage memory is sth I still remember deep in my heart.

👤: Do you eat cold food?
⚡️: I love korean cold noodles. I can eat those no matter which season. I have shops that I would definitely recommend if you visit Korea. (laughs) I always check if there are any new restaurants selling krn cold noodles too.

But even though I like cold food, I don't really like sweet food. Even if I want ice cream due to the hear I won't choose chocolate flavors. If I had to eat those I would choose the fruity flavors. I also like soda flavor too.

I like ice candies that are of soda flavor since they aren't too sweet. I also like mint flavor. Even though some hates it because they say it tastes like toothpaste (laughs)

👤: What drinks during the summer
⚡️: Cola! I like diet coke instead of the usual ones. It helps when I am thirsty drinking cola. If we are talking about drinks adults like during the summer, I love beer most,

but since I won't drink beer everyday I usually have diet coke instead. (laughs) My taste towards drinks qre quite complicated, even though I like carbonated drinks I don't really enjoy sweet ones like soda and cola.

But I wont drink the carbonated water either (laughs) I only drink diet coke. also, though I like watermelon I won't drink water melon juice. I feel like its more tasty eating it instead.

👤: memories with EXO's members?
⚡️: We usually spend our time preparing for albums during that period. We used to film together the MVs under the heat. even if its not in summer it reminds me of our trip to Taiwan for variety show.

It doesn't feel like filming but we got to be our natural selves, and it made me felt like I have enjoyed a summer vacation. Since this was a reality show we got to spend our time outside together.

👤: which member suits summer the most?
⚡️: Chanyeol. His personality fits summer. He is bright and energetic, which fits summer perfectly. On the other hand, Xiumin Hyung and I probably are the types that are weak to summer most.

👤: which song fits summer most amont EXO's discography.
⚡️: It has to be Power! Isnt this the song that brightens the atmosphere most? I like listening to up-tempo songs to drive the heat away in the summer too. In that sense, Power fits summer most.
