Xiumin

Xiumin
What’s your impression on China?

Men’s Style: What type of men do you think have the most charm? What type of women are the most attractive?
Xiumin: Disregarding gender, I respect those with outstanding charms on the outside~ It is simply who has the ability to attract others more themselves.

Men’s Style: In the members, is there anyone’s album image you’re envious of or would like to try?
Xiumin: Before being envious of anyone else’s images, I am busier taking care of what I am responsible for in the group. In my opinion, each of the images the members have taken on in this album suit them each very well, so we’re all pretty satisfied!

Men’s Style: The members all call you “baozi”, please try using food to describe the others members too.
Xiumin: Kris - pork legs, Lu Han - tofu, Lay - carbonara spaghetti, Chen - Americano, Tao - fried chicken…..

Men’s Style: Even though you’re EXO’s dage you have a baby face. So have you ever been “bullied” because of your baby face?
Xiumin: On first impression, most people think that I’m younger than them so they take advantage of me but after talking for a while and asking about age, and after they know about my age, they’re all get quite shocked, then they’re respectful towards me~ These sort of situations come up quite often~ So now it doesn’t really bother me anymore~ Haha ^^ …………

Men’s Style: Up until now, what’s the hardest Chinese phrase that you’ve learnt?
Xiumin: To be honest, there hasn’t been one particular phrase that’s difficult. But having learnt Chinese, opening your mouth to actually speak it has been difficult. I have the determination but I haven’t learn it properly so I’m kind of trying to figure out what it is exactly about myself that’s not doing it……

Men’s Style: You’ve come to China quite a number of times, what’s the biggest feeling and impression you’ve had? What part of China do you like the most?
Xiumin: Each and every different realm of China is huge! I also find it quite abundant…….. and also makes me feel quite at ease. Furthermore, China’s dishes are all really yummy as well as unique! So, to be honest, if it’s possible, I would like to study abroad in China and learn Chinese well!

Men’s Style: What makes you happiest?
Xiumin: Is there really a need to say? ( ? The interviewer showed an expression where he didn’t really understand ^^ Do you understand? ) Obviously it’s when I’m on stage that I’m the most, most, most happiest!

Speed Questions

Q: What do you think is needed to be a charismatic man?
A: What everyone asks for is different. I don’t think charisma can me “made” but it’s something natural. So I think that if there’s something that you want to do, do it! That’s the best way.

Q: When you are with the other EXO members, what is the topic most talked about?
A: Just as each day is different, our topics are also different. Aside from our schedule, everything else just flows with our feelings, the conversations are always different

Q: In the short term, what is the dream you would most want to realise?
A: If it were possible, I want to try making coffee credentials~

Q: When it comes to travelling, other than your family and parents, if you have to pick a member from the group, who would you most want to go with? What kind of place would you most like to go to?
A: Depending on where I choose to go, the member that I choose to go with will also be different. First of all, the first place that I thought of as well as the place that I want to go to the most is England, I want to go with Lu Han. The reason is simple, we want to personally see a football match with our own two eyes~~

Q: What type of men do you find easiest to admire?
A: This question is quite had to answer. We’re not talking about women, but about men, so I’ve never really thought about it, it’s quite awkward!

Q: Please say something to the fans and readers of this issue!
A: Hello everyone! I am EXO’s Xiumin! This year, because of the support and love from the fans, we, EXO, have had a lot of joyful occasions. Even though work has gotten even more busy, because of this we are able to spend each day even happier. I don’t know whether it’s possible for us to be so lucky and so happy. Every single day and every single hour, we are doing our utmost best to make everyone proud! I hope that everyone will continue to care for us and support us in the same way as it is now! I’ve incredibly thankful to you all and I really love you all so much~!

CHEN

Men’s Style: They say that you are the Korean member with the best Chinese? Do you have any tricks to learning Chinese? What is the funniest thing that has occurred while you were learning Chinese?
CHEN: I don’t know if I’m the best at Chinese (reporter: It really has the feel of China ^^), but to be honest, I always put in my best effort practicing to prounounce words the way the Chinese members do, if I get the pronounciation or tones wrong, it becomes something with a different meaning, so I am very careful when I speak in Chinese. So, I am particularly concerned with the pronounciation.

Men’s Style: Which Chinese lyrics of a song in the album left the deepest impression on you?
CHEN: In ‘LUCKY’: You are my first love! (t/n: or literally, you are my first time at love)

Speed Questions

What do you think is needed to be a charismatic man?
CHEN: A guy who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside!

CHEN: To be honest, we usually talk about singing, we also talk about all the other random things!

When it comes to travelling, other than your family and parents, if you have to pick a member from the group, who would you most want to go with? What kind of place would you most like to go to?
CHEN: 12 members altogether!

CHEN: To be honest, I too am a man, I feel that the males that are charismatic are those that are tall, broad shoulders, sturdy, and those with a good personality who always treat people with a smile on their face!

Please say something to the fans and readers of this issue!
CHEN: Hello everyone! I am EXO-M’s CHEN! Hope that everyone will like us being able to show you the different sides of us from the stage through this magazine! Dear fans, we are really thankful to you all for being concerned, supporting and loving us all this while! I love you all~^^

Reporter: EXO-M has had performances and schedules quite often in Shanghai recently, please talk about your impressions of Shanghai, like what dishes do you like the most?

EXO-M: Shanghai’s night view is very pretty, this world renounced business centre is quite a bustling place, we really hope to have the chance to explore it properly, but currently we do not have the chance to go out and do so, the food is very delicious too.

Yixing: Because we cannot go out, we can only order some Chinese dishes in the hotel to satisfy our cravings.

Kris: I like the stir fried rice cakes, when Shanghai delicacies are mentioned, naturally soya bean milk and fried dough fritters will come to mind, everyone really likes eating those, and also Xiao Long Bao.

читать дальшеJongdae: Shanghai’s weather is very good and pleasing, the fans are also very passionate, last night I finally had the chance to try authentic Chinese cuisine, one of those was a very unique delicacy – Duck’s tongue, I felt very amazed, because I’ve never eaten it in Korea before, it’s a completely new experience. We also really want to eat 大闸蟹 (hairy crabs), we’ve always wanted to try it but still haven’t managed to eat it, the next time we must definitely try it.

Q: In the future will the Chinese market still be the main focus.

K: Yes, you can say that, EXO-M itself was created specifically for the Chinese market, we will definitely come to China frequently for schedules. Previously we had more schedules in China, because all 12 of us were together.

Q: What do you think is your advantage in having a strong foothold in the Chinese market?

YX: Do we really have a strong foothold? We still have many areas in which we are lacking; we are really just starting out, moving forward step by step.

Q: Previously you went to Germany to shoot for your photobook, when will this photobook be released, and did any interesting things happen?

K: When the photobook will be released is still the company’ decision. Germany has this really special bicycle, six people can ride it together, sitting in a circle, with one person steering, it’s really amazing.

YX: It was the first time I went to Germany, and the first time I saw that all the taxis were all Mercedes-Benz and I got a shock, although Mercedes-Benz is a a local German brand, but it’s still surprising that the taxis were all from such a good brand.

Q: Do you have plans for a new album?

K: We are currently in the midst of preparing, and do not have a specific release date for now, we still have to keep the contents secret, but all along we have always sung both Korean and Chinese songs together.

Q: A group of young and energetic boys staying together in a dorm, what kind of roles do you play respectively, like who has better cooking skills?

YX: Normally in our dorm from Monday to Friday there is a auntie that helps take care of the basic household chores, helps us put our clothes in the washing machine, and hangs them up to dry after washing. During the weekends, we are all in charge of our own selves, whatever we want to eat we have to make it ourselves. Xiumin’s coffee is the best, especially fragrant, Luhan’s ramen is extremely good, Duizhang is in charge of inventing new dishes, I know how to do some homecooked dishes, like stir fried eggs with tomatoes and stir fried eggs with cucumbers. Although some of our members are from Korea and some from China, our tastes are very similar.

Q: Then who is the cleanest?
(All members point to Xiumin in unison) XM: The messiest is probably Manager Hyung haha

Q: What was your childhood dream, if you are not an artist, what career would you choose?

K: When I was younger I wanted to be a space navigator, and even naively wanted to invent a kind of medicine that makes people immortal, because I was a child then, and all kids want their parents to live for a long time. After I grew up I wanted to be a basketball player, my favourite basketball player is Kobe Bryant. Sadly, now I do not have much time to play basketball anymore, if in the future we are participating in any shows, Idol Olympics is more suitable for me.

YX: I’ll talk about the time when I was the most naïve and innocent, my first dream was to be the head of state/president, and be the one who manages the country. How old was I at the time, a five or six year old child talking about country matters, even my mum was laughing.

LH: Soccer player. I like Cristiano Ronaldo the most; since he joined Manchester United I’ve liked him a lot.

XM: A businessman

JD: Vocal teacher/trainer

Tao: Dance performer

Q: Your respective ideal types?

K: I like girls who are like angels, very innocent and have pretty eyes.

YX: I like the type that has a sultry/seductive charm, most importantly the girl must love me. (T/N: That’s the dictionary explanation of the phrase he used in the article, no kidding.)

LH: Long hair, white skin, a small face with big eyes, like a goddess.

XM: I have no specific requirement for looks, but she must be able to capture my heart.

JD: Girls whose eyes look very nice when they smile

T: Pretty, have a good figure, regal, like a princess so I can “hold her in my palms” (T/N: Along the lines of treat her like the apple of my eye and cherish her like she is a precious treasure etc.)

Q: How do your view the miraculous album sales that you have achieved?

YX: We have currently already gone past 910,000. This miracle is definitely due to all the people who have helped us, thank you to the behind the scenes crew who have worked together with us, and also to everyone who bought our album, not just the fans, there are also a lot of people other than fans who like our album, and also thank you to those fans who are far away and who we are unable to meet. We can only achieve what we have today because of them.

Q: How do you adjust after you have achieved such popularity/fame?

K: We don’t actually think we are very popular, our fans have definitely given us a lot of confidence, but also because of this, we will not let ourselves get arrogant, and will instead work even harder to repay the fans. (YX: Continue looking for ways to progress with our feet on the ground) Yes, because no matter what, there is still a long way to go, and a lot of seniors we can learn from.

Q: If you were to think of artistes that you want to pay tribute to, what will your list be like?

T: I want to become the best rapper in China, I have no one artiste that I respect the most, but there are artiste created music pieces I respect the most, their creations are all very outstanding.

JD: DBSK seniors. When watching their performances, they are doing dances that are very vigorous, but their ability to song and dance at the same time is very impactful/shocking, so every time I see their performance stages I am always full of respect.

XM: Me too, at least within the Korean entertainment circle. At the moment I have not had the chance to interact much with China’s artistes, I hope in the future there will be more chances to interact and meet.

LH: All the seniors in the company.

YX: I respect all the behind the scenes music producers.

K: Still Michael Jackson, he is a legend, even up till now, a lot of music elements originated from his creations, he is a very impressive and brave person. But I am just respectful of him, I still am not good enough to want to try and take on his dances.

Q: In the entertainment world, do the members have a “I want to become like him/her in the future” type of role model/goal that they work towards?

K: We hope that EXO-M can become a distinctive unit, and not become just like the rest. Our seniors are definitely deserving of our respect, but they are not targets that we must achieve, we hope to have better progress/development in the future, and have achievements that are our own.

Tao: We do not want to become followers of other people; we will let them become our followers.

“’Super Star K5’ Park Jaejung, Met EXO…Gifted ‘Growl’ R&B Version”

'Super Star K's' Park Jaejung met idol group EXO.

Through cable channel Mnet ‘Super Star K5’ staff, Park Jaejung recently went to meet EXO members Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chanyeol who had cheered for him.

That day, Park Jaejung showed the members a R&B genre newly made EXO’s ‘Growl’ to the members. As soon as Park Jaejung started the song that he prepared, the members replied on the post by adding harmonizations and beat boxing.

Regarding Park Jaejung’s remake of ‘Growl,’ the EXO members complimented saying “We have never heard a remake like this before. I think our ownership of the song is going to get stolen.” They proved they were a fan of Park Jaejung by saying “We have been watching him since the preliminaries. We think that his semi low voice is very charming. He looks much more handsome in real life.”

The broadcast of ‘Super Star K5’ where Park Jaejung meets with EXO members Baekhyun, Xiumin, Chanyeol will be broadcasted on the 8th at 11Pm.
