"2AM, Night Escape" VG magazine interview
Jo Kwon
Vogue Girl (VG): You got first place today in the music program?
Jo Kwon (JK): I was bawling (laughs). My mother came to watch today, and she was waving at me from the audience section after the announcement. I saw that and felt like crying.
VG: If you compare it (placing first in music programs) to placing first in various music charts, how was it?
JK: I was happier when we placed first in the music charts. It was the first time the number '1' was besides 2AM's name. We were running around the dorm because we were so happy.
VG: Is there a certain sense of pride because you guys placed first as a ballad group although dance groups are the current trend right now?
JK: I would like it if people don't label us as a ballad group. I just want to be called a 'singer.' We included songs from various genres like hip hop and R&B in this album.
VG: Then do you want to change the fact that all your title songs are ballads?
JK: Yes. I want to try a unique song that requires performance. When I work out really hard, "You're a ballad group, why are you shaping up", when I try to be funny, "You're a ballad group, why are you trying to be funny" -- I hear these things all the time. I think we're the first to be breaking that stereotype.
VG: In your album 'Thanks To', you said that 2AM was reborn?
JK: 2AM and 2PM (called One Day together) are a brother group and we debuted at a similar time. But within One Day, we were always in the shadows. I think we didn't really have a sense of identity in our music. Our debut song, 'This Song' was famous but many didn't know who sang it. Now, I want to spread 2AM's name and identity.
VG: If you have to pick a favorite song from the mini album?
JK: I was really sad when I first heard 'Can't Let You Go Even If I Die.' We got the song during the time when Jaebum hyung, who we care about so much, was going through some hard times... That's why I was able to immerse myself in the sorrowful sentiment. Honestly, I sang the song thinking of hyung.
VG: In the new album outro, the part, 'Now I smile' seems significant?
JK: We went through some hard times, but I'm so thankful to my members that held out. I am thinking maybe this album will do well and give us a chance to give back to the people that waited for us (laughs). Because that track is so relatable, we finished it in one recording.
VG: Amongst family, close friends, and 2AM, how is your character different?
JK: Within the group, I am the leader as well as a PR method? (laughs) At home, I am a serious son, and could be a daughter that acts cute to the parents. (VG: You always seem to be busy taking care of other people.) I think it just became that way at one point. I could listen to other people really well, but I can't really say much about myself. Recently, I was able to get some life advice from 2PM's Wooyoung.
VG: We're so curious about the extent of 'KKab Kwon'. How do you control yourself?
JK: I honestly don't know. Once I get into it, it's hard for me to refocus myself. Even when I'm monitoring the recordings, I wonder to myself when I did something like that. I just do it because it's fun and exciting. It amazes me too.
VG: About what percent is your true self in 'We Got Married' (WGM)?
JK: It's 100% me. That's why the JYPE staff or friends say that it's too funny. If it was fake, then they wouldn't enjoy it as much, but because it's real, they said it was funnier.
VG: It seems like you guys truly like each other. Are you controlling your emotions?
JK: I think controlling my emotions is my homework. For Ga In noona it's her homework. It's somewhat controllable. I really like her. We really care for each other and grew fond of each other... Even if 'WGM' ends, it's not like we can't see each other, but I'm afraid that I'm going to be very sad and disappointed. (VG: You must be excited for 'WGM' recordings) I really look forward to it. Because we spend a lot of time together, it feels like we're really going out, I get nervous and it makes my heart flutter. I don't know what to do.
VG: If you could give us an explanation of the failed kiss scene that brought about nicknames like 'Jo U-Turn' or 'Jo Kwon Fartface'?
JK: Outside of 'WGM' we are idol stars, and I thought I should respect that. If there was no feeling or emotion there, I would've just done it (acted it out). But just doing it for the sake of filming, I couldn't accept that.
(VG: aren't you a little sorry that you didn't do it?) If I wanted to, I could do it without people knowing.
VG: If you really fall in love, can you reveal it?
JK: I don't think I will. For that person, or for the fans, and for the people around us. (VG: From watching 'WGM' though, it looks like it's going to be be obvious?) It's not going to be obvious. When I held hands with Wonder Girls Sunye on the streets, the company thought, 'They must be really close' and didn't get suspicious. I think I'm the only one that the company allows to do such things. (VG: Do you think it's a good thing you made such an image for your self?) It's a very good thing (laughs).
VG: What is 'Kkab Kwon' to you?
JK: It's a 'Bok Kwon' (Lottery ticket). At first, I was worried that the word 'Kkab' was not broadcast-appropriate. But it was like I had won the lottery, it had a great synergy effect. I am so happy.
Seul Ong
VG: You keep getting congratulatory text messages because you got first place in the music program.
SO: I'm happy a lot of people are saying, "You got it at the right time"
VG: At a time when dance groups are the main trend, you must feel a sense of pride as a ballad singer?
SO: I feel a sense of pride that we're able to change the current trend little by little. I think there's a big significance in the fact that we are breaking stereotypes and that we are the first idols to sing ballad. Maybe there was an advantage in placing first on music charts, because we were idols that sang ballads? I want to think that 'We're opening a new chapter' and I have that goal in mind.
VG: You worked with producer, Bang Shihyuk. How was it different from working with producer Park Jinyoung?
SO: Jinyoung hyung picks out emotions one by one for us, while Shihyuk hyung helps us to bring out the emotions we already have. (VG: Which was more comfortable?) Honestly, both producers ultimately wanted the same thing, so it didn't really matter what style we sang. I think there wasn't that big of a difference because I try to find my own style.
VG: From all the title songs, which one do you relate with the most?
SO: 'Can't Let You Go Even If I Die' has the most realistic situations and emotions that are expressed. Especially the first part, 'Even though I'm young, I hurt all the same' -- it really hits a note in my heart.
VG: If you compare the characteristics of blood type O and your own personality?
SO: I am a little more complicated than the regular blood type O. I worry to the point where I get stressed out, and I never tell anyone about it. Even to my family. I think being outgoing and sociable matches up.
VG: Amongst family, close friends and 2AM, how is your character different?
SO: To my family, I'm not a dutiful child (laughs). I am an inexpressive son. But I expressed myself a little after placing first today. Amongst the members, I am the rational one. (VG: Do you hold meetings?) During meetings, if we don't see a solution, I become sarcastic and put in witty remarks. Between friends I get louder and act like an idiot. Inside I'm really inexpressive and outside, I'm a bit unruly. (laughs)
VG: As a 'WGM' panel, do you want to come out as a couple? If you do have a chance, who would you want to partner up with?
SO: Of course I want to. To an older woman, I think I'll have a lot of aegyo (*cutesy-ness), to a younger woman, I'll be like a dad, and to the same age, I'll act like I do to Ga In (laughs). More than treating her just whatever, I will be honest and comfortable with her. (VG: As a viewer, we think it's good if you meet an older woman.) Really? Right now my character is the nitpicky 'Ong Ahjibem,' if I really become a couple and don't do well, I think it'll be funny (laughs).
VG: Following 'D.E.G' you did 'Dirty Candy' -- you are really letting go of your image alongside Jo Kwon, are you okay with that?
SO: I am just the assistant (laughs). Honestly, right now, no one can really compare against Jo Kwon. Because we played together from when we were trainees, I am satisfied with making Kwon shine right now. I've always thought Kwon was the funniest guy in the whole world, and right now, it's becoming a reality. I am also just trying to show who I really am. Whether it is 'Ong Ahjibem' or 'Ongseulee Ong Ong'.
VG: We heard that you had a lot of interest in fashion?
SO: I look through a lot of collection magazines, and get advice from stylists. (VG: For this spring, what item do you want to buy?) I want to get a nicely colored cardigan or shirt.
VG: If you could get any special talent or ability from a 2AM member?
SO: Nothing really. (laughs) I like who I am.
VG: Are there any members that can't be controlled or have changed recently?
SO: After Jinwoon turned 20, I don't know what he's up to these days... (laughs). I'm kidding. Even though he's at a age where he's supposed to be playing, I'm proud of him that he's working hard with the hyungs.
VG: What is 'chest' to you?
SO: I'm so used to this question now. 'When I work out a lot, it's big, when I don't, it's small' I'm working out a lot these days, so you can all look forward to it!
