(I’ll cut to the bit that directly touches on Highlight.)

I first saw L (Infinite’s L) who was chatting with fans while walking, he’s super friendly, and then my eyes kept went to Son Dongwoon. Just then there was a passerby who was pushing a baby stroller and wasn’t looking, Yang Yoseop who noticed and was worried that I would be knocked, reached out and pulled me. I thought it was another fellow fan haha, when I turned my head, how come it’s Yoseop, I was very worried I caused him trouble so I quickly apologised and thanked him. Hearing me, he even nodded to me and by the time I turned my head back Son Dongwoon had left. I thought I had no luck with my bias but after I landed from the flight, I happened to be just next to Son Dongwoon, I finally called his name and he smiled at me and said hi.

Ceci October Issue Yoseop Interview

CR: 麦麦麦麦子AroundU Weibo

Q: When I look at concerts, I often see you matching gazes with the camera and feel ‘full idol strength’ from that.
A: When we didn’t have much performance experience, I didn’t really look at the 2nd, 3rd floor and even the sides and corners of the stage. We weren’t able to take care of the audiences there, only placed our attention and performed to the audience in the 1st floor standing area. But one day I went to watch a similar performance and because it (his seat) was far so there’s the feeling of watching from the TV. It felt like compared to watching the stage, I had spent more time looking at the screen so from then on I started looking at the camera.

Q: That’s Yang Yoseop’s sense, an idol who has such a side of himself and working very hard. Is your true self closer to the musicals?
A: No, it’s the opposite for me. What I show in Highlight, the person Yang Yoseop appears more. Bearing the character in a musical, although it is performed by the person Yang Yoseop, I work hard to perform and demonstrate a different side. When I perform in musicals, I completely cover the personality of Yang Yoseop.

Q: Did your plan to stop being a homebody succeed? In truth if you don’t feel that it is uncomfortable, you don’t have to forcefully change.
A: Indeed. To escape from being a homebody, I made a lot of effort but I’m back at the original point. I have thoughts to be like others and having all sorts of memories in my 20s to approach and welcome my 30s. I went on vacation alone, also wanted to have some random hobbies, but home is still the best (laughs)

Q: Changing the group, it must have caused the main vocal to be very troubled with concern to muscial colour right?
A: As the main vocal, if my vocal abilities were to collapse, the group would take a huge hit and that pressure is something that I can’t escape from. Although I still feel insecure lately, but I’ve also started to feel that it is fun. In the past, parts with high notes came with a lot of burden but recently, I also have the urge and excitement to hurry and sing those parts. Although this concert has the same songs but I want to sing with a different way each time. The interest in doing ad-libs has also increased, as the main vocal, I also feel emotional with this bit by bit growth. I think that even among our songs, there are those where we cannot sing perfectly. There are still many difficult songs that are still being practised with perseverance.
