LET'S GET TO KNOW JUN HYUNG

• My name is Yong Jun Hyung.
• I was born on December 19, 1989. Even though our school year is the same, whether one be born on '89 or '90, it doesn't seem like a huge difference.
• When Gi Kwang was performing as AJ, I worked as his back up dancer as well as a featuring, so I do have some experience on stage, but as a singer, holding the microphone was pretty heavy. However, as I was standing on stage, I practiced spotting the camera and adapted to this really quickly.
• We choreographed our dance. Our dance teacher did give us some feedback and opinions, but we are the ones who proposed the contents of the dance. In fact, during practices, we are very radical and would do our so-called 'jack-hammer-like' dance, but we ended up doing a light, lively stage performance, so it's a bit regretful. Just like MBLAQ, I would love to do a more strong, stylish performance in the future.
• I nag a lot at our dorm. But I don't do it without a reason. There's always a reason. With our 6 members and 3 managers, making 9 guys living in the dorm, really...it makes no sense! They don't clean and after they eat snacks, they just leave it around, and when flies come out, they don't even catch them. A few days ago, I cleaned out the whole living room, you guys don't even know that, do you? [Doo Joon: We don't. After you clean, you nag. So that's how we know. hehe.]
• Out of the members, me and Hyun Seung are interested in fashion. And in the past, since we came to watch many artists on stage, we were a bit greedy of their outfits. But somehow because of the song's atmosphere, team's environment, and the company's thoughts on our image, we aren't quite ready to enter the field of styling. And if the image of the stage outfits and our casual clothes are different, it's good to show people two different appearances. I love hats, so I like wearing them. i don't have much to collect, but maybe one day I could get a room filled with hats.
• Doo Joon can't fail when using his head. Doo Joon is always the best at thinking up a lot of games.
• When practicing, as much as you do it, it isn't always efficient. Usually one would do it if they want to, Hyun Seung, unlike others, would always look for that moment. Even right now, when our schedule ends, Hyun Seung would be the one to practice alone until dawn.
• I wrote the rap parts in the lyrics of 'Bad Girl'. Sometimes, to others, the lyric's rhyme and flow can be awkward. One time, before composer hyung went to get coffee, he told me 'some are durable, try it', and while he left, I started to think up ideas. When recording, I once modified it and we almost went with that. Though I can't say I am the best, I'm satisfied by the results.
• As I practice writing lyrics alone, the contents of the lyrics are more important to me than the flow. I listen to a lot of underground music, like Kebee and The Quiett, and their lyrics really come to mind. I hate hearing people say that I rap because I can't sing, but I put a lot of effort on my own. But the more I do, the more I'm mesmerized. Whenever I'm writing lyrics, I always put Yo Seob next to me. We talk back and forth and come up with great ideas, so it helps a lot. [Yo Seob: Really? I should've just gathered those words and wrote it myself!]
• The members talk to each other a lot. So, now I have nothing much to say. In the past, we talked about each others' past girlfriends so much that I'm not even curious anymore.
