We were more loved. My favorite stage on Road To Kingdom is 'The We Must Love' with YooA sunbaenim. The original song 'We Must Love' is really good but its mash-up with Moscow Moscow was a masterpiece. This stage reminds you of a musical through the expression and performance shown by the members and YooA sunbaenim, and it was also an opportunity for our team to be more known. Just like its title, we were more loved. (T/N: 더 사랑하게 될 거야 can literally be translated as You're going to love me more)
The main vocal here is good. Out of all the feeeback I received on Road To Kingdom, these are the words I liked the most. After our Everybody stage got uploaded, the top comment was 'The main vocal here is good.' I felt really happy. (laughs)
Open the pandora's box. We often heard that ONF's music like 'We Must Love' 'New World' etc. has a plot and tells a story. Actually, starting from our 1st album, we have our own worldview. Our last stage on the program 'New World' tells the story of finding keys. After finding the keys, each member is to open their own pandora's box for us to go the new world. The stage made it easier to understand the worldview. Ah, please, my pandora's box which you should never open.. a video of myself singing in the past!
One meal a day to keep body in shape. The calories I consume increase as I dance. I thought dieting would do but sadly I can never give up on food. Once I touch it, I can't stop eating until all of the food disappears. So I chose one meal a day. It's because I can't help but gain weight if I have three meals a day. I'm maintaining my body by controlling myself and dieting at the same time. It's important to keep the weight and body condition that suits me. So for this shoot, rather than building up muscles, I maintained my body and didn't gain weight.

The truth behind the brave man rapper Wyatt. The name Wyatt itself refers to a brave man. When we were deciding on a name, we chose this based on my strong image that I can protect anyone. In reality... I'm scared of ghosts and bugs. I also have acrophobia or fear of heights. Since I'm not brave, they gave me the nickname 'Princess' which is different from how I look. It's like how people call Ma Dongseok sunbaenim 'Mavely' (laughs)
Visuals and unparalleled low voice. There's a lot of people with cave like voice so I didn't give much attention to my own voice, but a lot of people who watched Road To Kingdom videos say I have a good voice which I'm very thankful for. It has pros and cons too. It's resonant and my voice sounds calm when I read a book or when I explain something which makes it easier to communicate. Its con is I often mess up my pronunciation. Since it echoes, it's easy for people to misunderstand what I say if I don't pronounce properly.
Krump. It was a dance I showed on Road To Kingdom on our arrangement of SHINee sunbaenim's Everybody. Krump is something I didn't know from the beginning. I first learned about it from a krump teacher when I transferred to Hanlim Art High School. I learned the concept of a dancer, felt the specialty of krump which is tougness, made a team and participated in a contest. I stopped krumping. It's a tiring dance, and Wyatt is an ONF member so I'm focusing more on music.
Wyatt's hard work for abs. I worked hard for 2 weeks for our Everybody stage where I had to show my upper body. I didn't eat carbs and only had chicken breast and protein. I only filled my stomach with water then so I had less weight on. Later on, I found out that Hongseok hyung had a balanced diet and worked out for 3 weeks. If only I worked hard for one more week, I could've shown a better body. It's a pity.
