Lately, Summer Olympics athletes have been receiving lots of support from entertainers. How do you feel when you see them getting support?

Lee Yubin: As a big fan, I'm really envious. I'll get lots of energy and have my tension up (if I receive such support).
Q. If you can get cheers from 1 person, do you have a specific person in mind? And what kind of support would you like?
Y: For me, BTS Bangtan Sonyeondan

Q. Not people, 1 one person
Y: Park Jiminssi

Q: Would you call him Jimin Oppa?
Y: Please cheer for me in Beijing Olympics~
Q. What kind of support would you get energy from?
Y: I know BTS members don't have IG to communicate. I don't expect a lot. There's Weverse, ARMY's fancafe. During Beijing Olympics, it could be possible that some fans might post my story...I wish I can get comments on my story.
Q. A really small wish. How about a video message?
Y: But he's busy

Q. Then if you can collab with Jimin for a TV show, what would it be?
Y: Run BTS, their own entertainment/variety show, I would love to teach the short track, I can hold hands gently and pull him gently.
