• "i'm a student and also a singer so while doing my best to study, i also have to do my best with singing. right now, i think that putting forth my best efforts and spending my time without regrets will make me happy."
• "(when you watch hyuk on 'vixx tv' it seems that he speaks really well. very eloquent! did you practice?) no. (laughs) i’d say that when i did announcements during my school days, it helped me. rather than just passing class silently, i was more of a student who tried to influence the quiet students and lead the class [...] i worked hard at those things."

• "before debuting, i attended school with confidence thinking, ‘i’m the best,’ but after debuting, spending time with the hyungs, and standing on so many stages, i’ve become more modest and started learning with a more open mind. i’ve become harder on myself to become better."
• hongbin: "(looking at hyuk) he didn’t have confidence."
• "as han sanghyuk … hmm. last year at mbc's 'gayo daejun', i rang in the new year with other colleagues. i wanted that day to be special, so as soon as it became jan 1st 2014, i did a handstand. in 2013, i did a countdown with the hyungs at the dorm, and on that day i thought, ‘i can’t just spend another year like this. i have to make 2013 the best and fulfill something,’ so i made a list. one of the things on the list was a handstand, i at least had to do that much, so when i did the handstand, hongbin hyung took a proof shot then. this year it wasn’t a proof shot, but at a live broadcast where everyone can see, so i just did it. i didn’t think it would come out on tv, but my legs showed up. i was proud of that. [...] in order to make 2014 the best, i did a handstand. there’s nobody else like me, is there?"
• "time is the most valuable thing."
• "my motto is to live with joy and happiness."

misc.

• "in my case, i really can’t do things like this (non-awkward variety acting), so i asked the writer, “i'm really bad at these things, why did you call me?” the writer asked if i looked at the script, don’t worry, it’s not cringe-worthy at all, but the moment i read the script, (pretending to hold his breath) 'heub!'"
• "(hyuk has been doing photoshoots with a different feel these days...) since i was told to make my features stand out without being idol-like, i threw away the thoughts of having to take pictures well and just absorbed myself into the mood."
