Karam:
We first met 3 years ago, right? At the dorm for the trainees.
Mika came out of the shower and was drying his hair with a towel.
He looked really cool and I thought ‘I still have a long way to go’ and lost confidence.

Mika:
That’s right, I had just taken a shower!
When we first met I thought you were pretty and handsome.
You were so young and cute I was jealous.

Karam:
I had no clue you thought of me like that!
After we debuted as DGNA I found out you were really funny, it surprised me.
At the beginning I thought you were a quiet person who liked to read books but now at home you pull faces and so on (laugh)

Mika:
I do that sometimes, yes (laugh)

Karam:
But you’re also the most reliable, as a leader you get a perfect score!
But there’s one thing I want you to change, could you please eat your meals properly!
Since I’m making the food, if someone doesn’t eat I feel hurt… It also makes me worried for your health!

Mika:
Because I failed my diet I’m trying to watch what I eat (laugh) But I promise to eat properly!
One thing I want Karam to do is to behave according to where we are.
Karam’s best point is that he’s always happy and excited but there are places where that’s not appropriate.

Karam:
I’ll do that!

Staff:
What type of girl do you think would match the other person?

Mika:
For Karam it would be a girl he could talk to like they’re friends who’s friendly and has a bright personality.

Karam:
For Mika it’d be a girl who thinks like him and who’s considerate.

Mika & Karam:
That sounds about right.

Karam:
Let’s have a table-tennis showdown next time!

Mika:
That’s really out of the blue (laugh). Okay, even among the members we’re both really good so.

Karam:
I want to find out who’s the best!

My PSP (black). A game I’m into is “Winning Eleven”.
I play it both when we’re on the road and at home.
At our dorm we have both a Play station and a Wii so we often play games.

Vol. 3 ~Karam & Hyunmin~


Karam:
I remember the first time we met clearly. I thought ‘What’s wrong with this person!?’ (laugh).
Because when we first met, without speaking politely he just said ‘this is your stuff’.
Then when we met at the office and we found out we’re the same age you said in banmal ‘do take care of me from now on’.

Hyunmin:
Ahaha (laugh). Back then you looked like a middle schooler so I thought you were younger than me.
When we were trainees the hierarchical relationship was even stricter than it is now, right? So I might have been a bit rude.

Karam:
It’s true I might have looked younger than you. I was shocked because you were so unfriendly.
So my first impression of you wasn’t that good (laugh). Now we’re really good friends though.

Hyunmin:
Even though we fought once.

Karam:
We did! At one point the members got together to discuss what to do about Hyunmin being so strong-willed and I got angry.
I don’t normally get angry so Hyunmin got shocked. The two of us talked about it for a long time.

Hyunmin:
Back then I had a really quick temper and didn’t care about anyone but myself which is what you were trying to fix.
I talked to Karam about everything I was feeling and now since coming to Japan we’ve gotten really close.
Thanks to the members I was able to change that part of me.

Karam:
You’ve become a person who thinks more about the others than about yourself.
You’re a person who’s really polite and values friendship highly. You don’t have anything I want you to change.

Hyunmin:
I have something I want you to change though! At night, please stop watching dramas and go to bed!
I get interested in what’s going on and end up not being able to sleep too!

Karam:
It’s because you try to go to bed at the same time as me~. Mika who shares the same room as us goes to sleep anyway (laugh).

Staff:
To change the subject, Karam, what type of girl would suit Hyunmin?

Karam:
A girl who’s really dependable, strong-willed and serious.
Since Hyunmin is strong-willed, if the girl’s naive she might end up hurt right?
But if she’s the same she’ll be able to talk back regardless of what Hyunmin’s says (laugh).

Hyunmin:
I see. But a strong-willed girl… that might be troublesome~ (bitter laugh).

The headphones I bought in Korea some time ago. The sound quality is really good and they feel nice so I really like them. Recently I’ve been listening to Mongol800, FUNKY MONKEY BABYS and miwa.
I also use these headphones to listen to music when I sleep.
