Now read the interview below!

1. How do you feel about coming back to your fans after six months?

Minwoo) First of all, we feel very sorry towards the fans that have waited a long time for us. As much as we prepared for this comeback, we want to repay fans through diverse and active promotion activities. It feels like we’re debuting all over again.

Rokhyun) I’m very happy and excited, but on the other hand I also feel nervous, and I’m worried fans might have forgotten about us. It’s like we’re going to do our debut stage again.

Jonghwan) It’s the second time we are standing on a stage with a dance song, but… it feels like we’re debuting again.

Chanyong) Since we’ve been on a long break, it’s like we’re debuting again. I’m excited and happy.

Changbum) There’s a part of me that is worried and wondering if fans will still remember us and another that is excited and can’t wait to meet the fans again.

Hyukjin) We are still rookies but we’ve had a long break so I was worried and afraid that fans had forgotten us. Now that we came back I’m working hard and doing my best just as if we were debuting again.

Sanghoon) Because our break was so long, I feel like we’re debuting once more.

2. What kind of concept do you like best/do you think matches you more?

Minwoo) The cute and fun concept is comfortable, but darker concepts are a bit more fun. It also makes our overall charisma stands out more.

Rokhyun) I want to be able to handle any outfit or concept. Isn’t that the best image a singer can show on stage?

Jonghwan) I don’t really know yet. I want to try more diverse concepts in the future.

Chanyong) But I think our current concept suits us well.

Changbum) I think we can handle any concept.

Hyukjin) For our debut, we had a manly concept as well, so I would like to try a cheerful and brighter concept.

Sanghoon) I think the current concept suits me the best.

3. Does the leader feel pressure from being the oldest one? (Minwoo is the only one born in the 1980s!)

Minwoo) Not at all. The younger members follows my guidance very well and are always beside me as friends giving me strength, so I don’t feel pressured because I am the leader. However, I always feel I should do well for our team.

4. Do you get to talk and hang out with your fellow label mates?

Minwoo) We are getting along extremely well!

Rokhyun) We are getting along so well, it’s become a problem. We make a lot of jokes and on our days off we hang out together.

Jonghwan) Andy hyung takes care of us very well, and we‘re close to Teen Top members as if we were brothers.
