Chanyeol explained, "In my school days, I was known [among the other students] as [an idol] trainee. Even during lunch time, while the kids ran [to get food], I would purposely head over leisurely as everyone queued. I'm normally chatty but I would deliberately talk less. While I'm with my guy friends, I would joke around but if I felt anybody's gaze on me during break time, I would try to stay still. I began to really love myself from then on. I got into the habit of trying to look cool and looking in the mirror a lot. If there was no mirror, I'd get uneasy and use a watch to tidy up my hair. I couldn't help but pay attention [to how I looked]."

Chanyeol also mentioned his nickname '3 minute 1 second,' revealing, "At the time the 'Growl' MV came out, I appear right at the 3 minute 1 second mark and people said, 'Wow he's so good-looking.' I'm being dead serious. They would ask, 'Who's the guy at the 3 minute and 1 second mark?'" 

When the MCs asked him how often he's watched the "Growl" MV, Chanyeol replied, "I've watched it 400-500 times. I just kept watching the part where I appear because that's the only scene where I appear." 

Chanyeol, are you sure it wasn't 400-500 million times?
