[Trans] 131223 Xiumin Interview with Newsen

December 23, 2013
Exo’s Xiumin revealed his thoughts on his huge success this year.
In the music program waiting room, he met with Newsen and shared his side of story on the “Christmas Day†stage which has been going on since last week.

In “Christmas Dayâ€, Xiumin catches your eye often. When we said that he was ‘seen in the center often’, Xiumin said that he’s ‘happy about it. So happy about it.’ Since we have a lot of members, he said, there is competition as it’s impossible for each and every member to be in the spotlight. It seems like it’s my turn this time, he said with a shy smile.

Xiumin, who is an Exo-M member, debuted in China last year. This year, with the reveal of their album XOXO (Kiss&Hug), Exo made a comeback with all twelve members and Xiumin was able to experience what promoting in Korea is like. As Exo-M members became known in Korea, Xiumin in particular began enjoying an explosive amount of popularity.

"It was awkward. It still feels awkward," he said. "If I have to phrase it, I would say it feels like I still don’t deserve it." When we said that perhaps he’s being too modest, he denied it. "I’m not being modest; I’m the type who’s good at accepting the truth. I’m being realistic."

When we commented that he’s very harsh when it comes to himself, he said "honestly, it’s because of my members that I’m in this position. Gaining a lot of popularity was luck; I think if I was by myself, I wouldn't be very popular right now." With comments like that, he displayed his members merits.

Asked if he feels his popularity right now, Xiumin thought that he was a little more well-known than during MAMA promotions. He feels it in particular when his name shows up on search engines, when people recognize him on the streets, or when he’s looking for pictures and monitoring his stage performance.

Just two years after debut, Exo has won big awards in this year’s Melon Music Awards and 2013 MAMA and rose to the top. Xiumin revealed his happy but worried mindset about recent events. "I’m happy to the point of being speechless. To be honest, I worry if it’s okay, if maybe we’re too successful. There’s also the pressure of having to do well next time too. [We/I] have to do better next time."

Since he promoted largely in China last year, it’s his first time seeing this kind of response in Korea. "I never once thought ‘I want to hurry and promote in Korea’. It’s just that I learned promoting in Korea is also fun. However, my homebase is still China, so I’m preparing myself to do even better the next time we’re in China."

Xiumin is currently showing the unseen real side of himself on Exo’s first reality program, MBC Everyone’s Exo’s Showtime. Last episode there was talk of tears, and Xiumin was designated as the member who cries the least.

Xiumin, who claimed that rather than having no tears he is simply holding them back, said that “Among the members I cry the least. Rather than that, should I say that I’m good at holding them back? Even though I feel the tears, I hold them back. I have emotions [related to tears] too. It’s just that I don’t express them. I’m not good at expressing myself.â€

Though he rarely cries and is the strongest member, Xiumin still has something he’s scared of: cats. "I’m really scared of cats," he explained, "when I was younger I got attacked by one and I've been scared of them ever since."

Xiumin has also lost a lot of weight before Exo’s latest album comeback. Though the dieting continued even after his promotions ended, compared to during Wolf and Growl promotions, he looks healthier. "I had a hard time during those promotions because I barely ate. And since I didn't eat, I got sick often and had no energy. I've started eating more, and since I’m eating well now, I've gained a bit of weight." With that, he revealed that he’s taking good care of his health these days.

posting just because

[minixi]

You don't have to apologize! I understand where you're coming from, and it may seem like I'm restraining myself but I want to let you know that you made plenty of good and fair points there, especially the second-to-last paragraph.

 

Your post didn't annoy me at all, I was self-referencing another thread from a few weeks ago, but let's not talk about that ^__^

 

tbqh I have never seen any evidence of his Everysing video but if anyone here has, please post. I am a big fan, but I have a poor memory ;__; 

 

I am using this thread to dump my feelings lol, so don't feel bad. About how Xiumin contributes to the group, I would like to think of him as a supplementary factor to EXO. Useless is a very, very strong word, and if it means anything, I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible here. What's great about him is how distinct his voice is in that you can easily recognize its trace like a fingerprint. He has a certain style of doing this, a specific face and behavior etc. that his characteristics can open him up to a niche-like fanbase, which is formulating right now. He may be only the Jack of all trades, not specifically a singer or a rapper or a dancer or an actor, but he can do it all and he does it with commitment. For a group that was intended to be large and separated into two units, I don't see why he couldn't be a strong contender among all the other rookies training for that spot.

 

What I meant earlier about exaggerating talent was... I will cheer him on for everything he tries for as an idol, but I refuse to accept a superiority complex or competitive attitude toward him by saying he's better or the best at certain things in cases where he is not. I usually become fans of idols who do particularly well in a certain field, but I'm fine with him not "excelling" in a specific talent, because he already does great. I don't know if I worded that harshly. 

 

 

If it sounds pathetic enough to somehow reaffirm that I am a big fan, there were a few times this year and last year where I'd only seen a brief video or picture of him doing a small gesture of some kind and somehow the context would make my eyes watery and I would get over-emotional. I. Can't. Figure. Out. Why. This has never happened to me in the years and years I've invested into other groups. Getting emotional over a small thing. I can't describe it and maybe something is a little off about me, but as an elephant, my compassion for a human idol I've never met has never been that sensitive, strong yes, but not sensitive. That's why I try to repress my feelings lol. I hope to deal with it in a healthier way.

 

omg I feel you T_T... Agree with everything you said. And the case where he does something small and get like a burst of feels... I've heard many who have said the same thing. Or i swear I've heard others say too that they've never had something like this happen before. For me its the same, although for me it seems like every group or person I stan I have more feels than before so -_-

 

But this dude is definitely something... Just the way he captures people and their hearts.

I love how he goes from russian princess and then swaggg with friggen sunglasses. But woow sunglasses! He finally wore them! Last time everybody was wearing sunglasses but him.

 

That article tho. T_T. It feels so him. He's always been realistically hard on himself. And daaamn I knew it Christmas Day is Xiumin's time to shine. Well people have been saying it. But this just totally confirms it. His fear of cats... so thats wat happened. It should be noted that people shouldn't aliken him or cartoon him as cats XD. Rather as hamster... or bunny lol. And his weight!! Now we know that jaozi weight before really was unhealthy... =(

 

Is this just an exclusive interview on him or did they interview exo as a whole? Because.. damn I'm really feeling his popularity day by day. Is he so popular now that he's getting an exclusive interview?

It was an exclusive interview. Has anyone noticed how whenever the members mention his growing popularity he tells them to stop and gets all flustered? Maybe I missed the joke but when someone calls him a "growing trend" he has this staaahp face(?) I dunno.

 

Are you doing okay? Having no power is tough. Do you live in Ontario by any chance, lol.

I'm so excited, can't wait to wake up to vids with MCseok 

Hmm, I don't know. I would check TVXQ threads since they have a comeback stage and I'm sure the stans on this forum will watch it :o

Or is it Music Core that you can watch on YT? I don't know much about Music Shows...

[minixi]

i found a stream link. But it's 3 hrs from now... dunno if i'll still be awake by then.

[REDLIGHT]

Omg he's older than meeee 

Here I was thinking "laawrd Im crushing on a bunch of lil kids"...  

Now that makes it more legal for me to fall for him 

Xiumin's so adorableee  I canttt

He's so adorable isn't he?

cutest gif so far for me >_<

 

and i still need to know where this came from

 

Can't believe he's turning 25. He's such a contradicting person. First he acts all adorable looking like a 5 yr old, next he's being all sexual, and then you know he ain't some innocent lil kid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then you be glad he's 25 because when stripperseok comes out you can't help but think dirty thoughts.

 

 

.. and you think his sweaters were enough

 

 

it's like xiumin and clothes don't get along

 

 

[REDLIGHT]

He's so adorable isn't he?

Wowww you did put some serious thought on this post lol so worth it I totally agree on this with you !!!

 

FLAWLESS !!!

[minixi]

one of the reasons i love xiu

 

 

always surprises me.

 

Can he get even more diva-er?

[sinnfb]

Just saw a few of his MC cuts and I'm so surprised by how natural he was. I actually thought he did a better job than Baekhyun which is something I would have never expected.

He definitely got better and not as nervous this time. It must be cuz he got more experience from all his previous MC-ing and radio hosting.

 

But he's still so shy~

 

 

During Mucore live show all of EXO was not present except Xiumin who was MC, when Sorry Sorry started playing he did it solo onstage lol.

 

Xiumin looked like he was having a lot of fun for his "solo stage" but got a bit embarassed so ran off at the last bit... then sat at the MC

 

waiting area fanning himself throughout when the pre-recorded Growl was playing/being broadcasted. Hehe.
