Haru Hana 34th issue: B1A4 Jinyoung’s interview

JINYOUNG

A happy childhood memory that is associated to “Happy Days”?
- My parents love travelling so since young, I remembered we will travel to eveerywhere. Since it was when I was young, I can’t remember very well where we went, we frequently head to the beach to play and it was really fun.

When winter comes, what is the music you want to listen to, the food you want to eat?
- A song that I want to listen to is “All I want for Christmas is you”. Because I like the heart pounding feeling of Christmas, so I will listen to this song throughout the year. Really! I am not talking about before Christmas but I listen to it even in the month of May. The food I would like to eat would be meat dumplings and steamed bun.

If you were to describe your members?
- Shinwoo would be the socks to put the presents. He resembles a soft and round person. Sandeul would be a bell. Because he is cheerful, talkative and noisy (laughs). Baro would be a candy. Aren’t there those various kind of candies that would spurt out? That kind of image. The charming point whereby you wouldn’t know when he will fly. Gongchan would be a tree. He can become the will and also give support. I would be Santa Claus. Since my nickname is grandfather (laughs).

Is there anything that you must do when new year comes?
- There isn’t something that I must do, but if possible I would want to catch the first sunrise of the year. Pray as I watch the sunrise. In the past, since my house couldn’t see the sunrise, we have ever hiked up to the mountain to catch the sunrise. We have also watched it from the TV before.

A winter date with Bana! Where and what would you like to do?
- I want to go down and have a swim in a pile of snow. Though I said swimming, but I think it is more of moving around on the snow. Somehow there will be a girl that likes doing this sort of stuff isn’t it? (laughs). I want to wear a thick coat and lie down on the fluffy snow.

Recently the activities as an actor were remarkable. Do you put the experiences and viewpoint that you gain through acting and time into your composing?
- I received a lot of influence. I was able to experience the life of someone whom I can never live as through acting. The feeling felt in by character in every production, the way of life, can be experienced through seeing; it feels like I am gaining new experiences. Although, I have not tried writing lyrics based on an acting experience specifically, I can make use of the acting for the overall theme and mood.
