Translation (from Papago so it might not be the most accurate):

Spoiler
When MONSTA X made their debut, I thought that an idol that goes well with Cosmopolitan appeared.
Cosmopolitan is a familiar magazine to me. I've always done pictorial shoots with the members. I'm so thrilled to be the cover model for our 20th anniversary.


How does it change when you work with members and when you work alone?
When we work as a team, we have to look at the overall picture, so we have to work together. It's hard, but it's good that you don't have to work that hard. Even when I'm doing my solo activities, I'm doing it as MONSTA X Shownu, so it's not that different.


MONSTA X celebrated its 5th anniversary this year.
I don't feel like we're that old. It's hard to say that I feel exactly the same as when I was a rookie, but it's not much different from then. I'm working on my schedule like I did then.


He's a very inclusive leader among the members. Still, is there anyone you can't hold?
Any relationship creates a bond by fighting and reconciling. But I think there are people who can't do it. Fortunately, there's no member I can't embrace. Since I don't get angry, the members once said, "I want you to step up a little bit." Minhyuk and Kihyun are all very active. On the other hand, I think a lot. Thinking about what will come back to me when I talk like this makes me more careful.


So I think Shownu is slow at acting or talking.
I'm sure you're thinking, but I don't think you're thinking about anything. In fact, even if I'm angry, I think, "If I hold it in, I can easily get over it. Is there a need to get angry?"


Have you ever regretted not being able to say anything after time has passed?
Well... not much. Oh! I was sad that I couldn't say well on a variety show.


Shownu, who appeared on entertainment shows, always smiles unintentionally.
Rather than trying to do something or having fun, just do it. At first, I tried to interrupt people when they were talking, but it didn't work better. I'm not that funny anyway, so if I try to force myself to do it, it looks even more weird, so just relax now. If you don't have anything to say, don't do it. When you're playing games,


There's a saying that it's jinx of being an idol for the seventh year Have you ever thought about the future of MONSTA X?
All the members are passionate. We think we can do better. Even when I practice, I don't do it in moderation and work hard. When we were in the U.S. for a long time and ranked 5th on Billboard's main album chart, I once said, "We're not going to live in the U.S." Even if we worked hard, I thought it was amazing that we had this result. I don't set specific goals and think about the future. Because of Corona19, I took a break and prepared for the concert. I think it's enough to show my face to the fans.

Do you ever feel affectionate towards the members?
No matter how many friends I have, we're the only ones who can tell you the truth. We're sharing a room. We spend a lot of time together even when we don't have a schedule. Tikitaka is good for the members. They're professionals, so they know what to do.


Not long ago, I wrote 'Smart Person' in my future wish column on "Knowing Brother.
It doesn't necessarily mean that you are knowledgeable or common sense. I think it's smart to get along well with people, not panic under any circumstances, and do what you have to do.


I don't think I have any mood swings. What's the word that's giving Shownu a piggyback ride?
Fans say, "I'm happy because of Shownu." Besides that, I think I can say it because I'm interested in it whether it's good or bad.


A comment in Shownu's video said, "You have a face that is not liked or disliked." How satisfied are you with your appearance?
About 70%? Is it a bit high? Haha. There's someone who thinks I'm really handsome, and I think it's rude if I deny it too much. Of course, when I take pictures or videos, it doesn't come out as I thought.


What is the unexpected look that people don't know?
I love eating. I especially like fried food. A few days ago, I went to a chicken restaurant after working out with my friend. But I didn't want to eat fried chicken because it was such a waste to work out that day. So I ordered an oven-baked roasted chicken and my brother was very surprised. Ha ha.


If it's 20-year-old Shownu, would it be okay, but if it's Shownu now, is there an unforgivable behavior
I don't think it'll be okay if it's not working now. If I had to pick one, 'Acting fresh'? Haha. You can do it when you're 20. I'm a little tired right now. Of course, I act cute or act cute when asked to, but I can do better when I'm 20.


When I saw Shownu acting cute with NU'EST JR in "The Troublemakers in the Rooftop," the production team felt resentful.
I used to have a hard time because I'm shy, but now I do as much as I can. It's hard to see him not knowing what to do because he's embarrassed. I wish I had more talent, but I think I should be born with it.


What kind of person do you think is cool?
Loving yourself. I want to do it, but I'm not good at it. It's good to see someone who has self-love and knows how to pursue their own happiness, and I think that's a successful person. Those people are passionate and work harder. On the other hand, I'm following my life. I always think, "What should I do?"


What if you could imagine 20 years after Shownu, 20 years after Cosmopolitan?
I hope MONSTA X, including me, will all grow older. As an artist, I want to be trendy like Park Jin-young or Usher. Cosmopolitan will grow naturally if you work hard as you have done so far. By the way, is there anything to grow? Ha ha.
