GOT7 in Grazia magazine, February 2 issue:
Jr.
_21 years old, special skill is dance
Debut through <Dream High 2>: I acted with JB in <Dream High 2>. As an actor you live as another person for 3 months, but as a singer you pour out your energy onstage for 3 minutes an 30 seconds. That's the difference between long-term and short-term focus. I think it's all the same art.
Because I studied acting: Because I learned acting after JJ Project promotions were over, the expression of my singing and dancing has become wider, and it's a sphere that requires imagination so I even developed a tendency to read a lot of books.
The book I'm reading lately: Miyabe Miyuki's "All She Was Worth," and Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" and "11 Minutes."
Movie mania: Lately, I was really amazed by Kim Yoonseok in Hwayi and Ha Jeongwoo sunbaenim in The Terror, Live. I could stay up all night talking about movies.
The skill that you've 'GOT IT' like the album title: I have a lot of sensitivity, and my concentration is severely strong.
An artist that influences you: My vocal teacher told me to listen to a lot of instrumental music, so I started listening to Keith Jarrett and I really like him. I also receive a lot of influence from books and movies.
A feeling of wanting to return to a common youth: You can't catch two rabbits.* I'm going to work hard so I won't regret the one I gave up.

* = Originally a Chinese phrase, "If you chase two rabbits at once, both will escape." It basically means the equivalent of the English "you can't have your cake and eat it too"--sometimes you have to give up one thing in order to have something you want even more.
