Q: Favorite color?

• TY: Pink
• YT: Black

Q: Favorite season?

• TY: Summer! I get cold really easily so I'm quite weak when it comes to winter.
• YT: Summer! I love mountains and sea, so I like summer the best because I can stroll or play by the beach. I've been playing in the sea every year since I was a kid.

Q: Favorite food?

• TY: I like mentaiko! I really like mentaiko baguette and mentaiko rice balls.
• YT: I like meat and fish, but takoyaki is my favorite too. And since I'm from Osaka, I like eating okonomiyaki with sauce. Also, I often eat proteins to build up my body!

Q: Food you dislike?

• TY: There's nothing that makes me think, "I hate this!", but over the years there are a few that I think, "Isn't there just no good reason to choose to eat this?" Hahaha. For example, something that I saw while overseas, there's a dish made with the duck's entire head...those kinds of food are difficult for me hahaha.
• YT: Shiitake mushroom and bell pepper hahaha.

Q: Favorite snack?

• TY: Mentaiko-flavored jagabee and honey butter chips.
• YT: Back then, I used to like snacks such as potato flake, but nowadays, I like chocolate and sweets. Also, I finally tried 'shiroi koibito' and it was delicious!

Q: Favorite sport?

• TY: I like most sports across the board, but if I play them, I get injured easily, so I've been holding back more recently. So though I've not been able to play in awhile, I really like basketball!
• YT: Soccer. Still, other sports are good and I like running (sprinting)! I learned soccer since kindergarten until third grade in middle school, so it has to be my specialty. Lately (scoring in games), I'm upset because it's a bit hard to win!

Q: Favorite number?

• TY: Up till now, there's no number that really brought me luck, but I've been thinking "in the future I'll eventually probably find one~". I have the feeling that 3 or 7 will be my lucky number!
• YT: 10. Soccer ace has number 10 on his back!

Q: Favorite scent?

• TY: I like comfortable scents. Be it the scent where I return to my family home and take out my clothes after a long time, or my mom's scent. I like that kind of vibe.
• YT: I like lemon, fresh and sweet citrus scent.

Q: Favorite fashion style?

• TY: Clothes that make me look good, and look visibly clear while practicing choreography. As we practice while listening to the song, I dress up according to the song's genre. If it's not our song, I also try to emulate that artist's vibes through my fashion.
• YT: There's a lot of monotonous outfits like black boots x black pants, I like matching them with silver accessories like necklace, rings, and piercings!

Q: Use a sentence/word to describe your own personality.

• YT: Uh...I can't express it in one word hahaha. I think there's a lot of sides of myself, and I don't know myself much...I'm still looking for it! I don't think I can say anything in a word to describe myself.

Q: "I won't lose out to anyone on this!"- What's something you can brag about?

• TY: Um...if I were to search for it in my daily life, I don't think there's any...but when it comes to working hard in order to accomplish a goal, I don't lose out to anyone!

Q: What's something you're proud of? YT: For me, doing music is how I find new sides of myself. NCT 127 often changes concept in music, so every time that happens, I feel like "I have this kind of side as well"/I found my new side. I feel that music is a part of life.

Q: What's your charming point?

• TY: Should I say my nose? I think my general features are very prominent, but my nose instead of being very sharp is a bit round. And I think the fans quite like this aspect.
• YT: Smiley face and eyes! Inside (personality) um...I'm kind of humorous hahaha.

Q: Let us know your weakness!

• TY: I get tired really easily hahaha. I like sweet stuff so I definitely need it (to recharge.) On the regular, I bring around sweet food and I eat them bit by bit. Ah, when I came to Japan, I always eat crepes. Previously at A-Nation, I ate a lot of crepes that were part of the food catering.
• YT: I actually cry straight away hahaha. I love anime, so I watch them a lot. When I watch something touching, I get emotional and cry right away!

Q: Your hobbies?

• TY: Watching movies and writing lyrics have always been my hobbies! I think recently I'll find a great hobby I really like! I'm planning to raise a turtle! I want to have a pet, no matter what type, but as I'm not in the circumstances where I'm always around at home to look after a pet, I'm looking for an animal that doesn't get lonely too easily. Reptiles don't get lonely, and depending on the breed, I found out that if you leave them alone from time to time, they don't get stressed out! Hence, I thought about raising a turtle. I've had one when I was young and Johnny, my roommate, has also said okay to have one, so I'll keep it in my room!

Q: Day-to-day, what do you do that makes you the happiest?

• TY: When I read comments left by fans complimenting/praising me. I become really happy.
• YT: Awhile ago, I felt happy when I went to Kyoto with my family. There's a shop where I ate sashimi and it was so fun! And when members do something together, I feel happy when we're almost completing it. It's the most exciting time to me!

Q: Where's a place where you're able to rest most comfortably?

• TY: Since I was a trainee, the practice room was like my home to me. Even on days off, rather than staying at home, sometimes going to the practice room alone and playing some music can help me relax even better. When I'm in the practice room, my thoughts become more orderly (less messy), and I'm able to use that time to organize my thoughts as well.
• YT: Probably the dorm. I'm sharing the room with Taeil hyung and WinWin now, and we've been tackling each other's feet with WinWin. Sometimes hahaha. We've been staying in the dorm with the members for along time. Also, we have rules to make two people clean the house, do dishwashing, and throw garbage out once a week.

Q: What must you do before you sleep?

• TY: I always use the dust/lint roller to clean my room hahaha.
• YT: I'm sensitive to sound, so when sleeping, I always make sure to apply a mask and listen to classical music. Then I can relax and sleep.

Q: What must you do when you wake up in the morning?

• YT: I've been drinking green juice lately! I don't like vegetables, so I thought I don't have to worry about my health and decided to drink it every morning. Since it's in powder form, it's really easy to drink!

Q: What's the most surprising thing when you come to Japan?

• TY: Every time I come to Japan, there's a lot of surprising things when I stand on stage. When we first came for the first time and stood on the SMTown stage, I thought clearly, they won't know us, but now, the number of people who support and loved us has increased by so much it's surprising.
• YT: I felt good because there are many toilets hahaha. There are toilets of course in Korea, but not in the convenience stores. And also, since I like coffee, it takes a while for me to find coffee shops when I come back to Japan. In Korea, there are so many cafes.

Q: Korean word you learned most recently?

• YT: Korean...is there any? There's no new word, but I have words that are convenient to know! When I first came to Korea, the first thing I learned is "Rice please" and "Where's the toilet?". If you remember these two things, it would be helpful in Korea hahaha.

Q: Do you resemble your dad more, or your mom?

• TY: I think looks-wise, I resemble my dad, but when it comes to personality, I resemble my mom.
• YT: I almost resemble my mom, but resemble my dad in personality?! It's part of my responsibility! I said that myself hahaha. Rather than saying I resemble him, I think I want to become like him. Because I respect my dad.

Q: What words make you happy when you hear it from the opposite sex?

• TY: It's not just limited to the opposite sex, but when there's a promise made and the next time we meet, the promise has been fulfilled. When I hear that someone has achieved their goals, I'm happy together with them too!
• YT: To be manly.

Q: What food/dish would you like the opposite sex to make for you?

• TY: When our schedule ends, and I return home, the food that is on the table is the most delicious. I'll be happy no matter what it is.
• YT: I want the person to make me dosirak (lunch box). I'm glad if we make one to go for a picnic together. I like octopus and sausage for the side dishes!

Q: What kind of actions is heart-fluttering for you?

• TY: A smiling face! I believe that a smiling face always expresses an optimistic heart. I like when they're happy.
• YT: Nothing special, but I like it when she ties her hair up. And I have things for voices, so I like a person with a good voice.

Q: When your mood becomes down, how do you overcome it?

• TY: I always listen to music. When listening to music, I try to bring out the positivity in me, and I also often write lyrics (when I'm down.) That way, it's like I'm sharing with others, and expressing my concerns through my lyrics.
• YT: We have lots of worries right? If I'm able to solve this problem, I'm going to grow bigger myself. When I can't sleep at night, I say that to myself, I will pass this hard time, think about something else, and forget about it.

Q: Recommend a song to someone who has never listened to NCT 127 before.

• TY: A track from our first Japanese mini album 'Chain' called 'Dreaming.' It's a song about how everyone has a dream, and (expressing) hope that they are able to make their dreams come true. I hope you'll listen to it!
• YT: I like all the songs in Japanese, but the song I'd like to recommend the most is 'Cherry Bomb'. I'd be glad if you could watch the performance together. From the time we we fall down until the time when the members open their legs wide into V-shape, I hope you will pay most attention (to these details)!
