WEi: During our filming, our actual personalities were captured, so fans were able to get a glimpse of the jokes and funny moments we actually experience. All of the moments were memorable and showed our character.


Allkpop: What’s your favorite food and why?

Donghan: “I like the juice that oozes out from meat.”

Yongha: “My favorite is ramen!”

Yohan: “Meat — it’s just too delicious!”

Seokhwa: “Maratang! After I tried it once, I couldn't stop eating it.”

Junseo: “When I eat beef, or any type of meat, a smile naturally appears on my face and I become happy.”

Daehyeon: “Shopping, chatting with other people, watching videos, and meeting friends. I like these particular activities because I can focus on all of these things without having to think too much.”

Donghan: “I like to watch movies, dramas, and variety shows. When I watch funny videos, I become happy.”

Yongha: “Puzzles! Matching each piece together is so much fun.”

Yohan: “I haven’t found a hobby yet.”

Junseo: “Exercise! It makes me proud to see my physique improving.”


Allkpop: What’s one song that’s been on your playlist?

Daehyeon: Nell’s “Time Walking on Memory.” The song matches perfectly with the weather these days and makes my heart feel warm.”

Donghan: SSAK3’s “Beach Again.” Although I didn’t live in that era, listening to the song stirs up my emotions.

Yongha: SBGB’s “Card Captor Sakura. This is a song that sparks a lot of old memories for me.”

Yohan: Pentagon’s “Daisy.” The song is just really good.

Seokhwa: Dawn’s “DAWNDIDIDAWN.” As soon as I heard it, I felt that it was a charismatic song with an addictive melody.

Junseo: SEVENTEEN’s “Thanks.” This is a song I’ve enjoyed listening to in the past. I chose it because I recently started listening to it again and it brings back memories.
