NU'EST's Surprise Birthday Event on MUSIC ACCESS Transcript

NU’EST: Saengil Chukhahae~ Happy Birthday~
Karen: Okay, now that we’re in the studio .. So we have all the NU’EST members who came here to congratulate Aron for his birthday. We have Aron’s dog in the studio~
Aron: Yeah, we have my dog, we also have actually Baekho’s dog.
Karen: Okay, so we have two dogs in the studio, two puppies in the studio.
Aron: Two little puppies in the studio~ 
Karen: Right and we have all the NU’EST members here~
Aron: Oh, uhm… That’s weird. Uhm, I guess, can you guys look at the camera and can you say hi to our listeners?
NU’EST: … Hello~ *laughs*
Karen: It’s the first time, I think, that all the NU’EST members are here in the studio. 
Aron: Yeah~
Karen: Okay, so I thought we could have all of the members introducing themselves to our listeners? Okay so, we’ll just go one by one, I guess, starting here?
Baekho: This is Baekho and I’m here to congratulate Aron hyung on his birthday.
Minhyun: Hi, I’m NU’EST’s Minhyun and glad to meet you guys.
Ren: Hi, I’m Ren of NU’EST. Aron hyung happy birthday. I love you~
Aron: Mmm me too, I love you.
JR: I’m NU’EST’s leader JR and Aron hyung, congratulations for finally becoming an adult.
Aron: Yes, thank you~ You know what, there’s actually―is there a script for this?? I’m actually not―
Karen: I’m gonna take over here, okay? So we had all the NU’EST members introducing themselves and they’re here to of course, congratulate you on your birthday. How do you feel? 
Aron: You know what. I actually had no idea they were coming here to the studio.
Karen: Yeah, we tried to keep it a secret from you. 
Aron: I’m a little dumbfounded right now. I’m a little shocked.
Karen: Okay well, we’ll let you recover because we’re gonna actually listen to the song that we mentioned. So Neone Noona Sogeshikyeojwo, we’ll listen to that and we’ll come back with more. 
Aron: Alright guys~

 

Aron: What up everyone, we just came back from listening to Neone Noona Sogeshikyeojwo by NU’EST. You’re listening to the second hour of Music Access with Aaron of NU’EST. Today is May 21st, Tuesday. And I was pretty shocked and I feel special because my NU’EST family came here to the studio to wish me a happy birthday. And of course we have Karen in the studio as well~ (Karen: That’s right~ Right~) You know what, now that I got the script I know what’s going on *laughs* but you know, I was definitely a little shocked anyways.. I guess, since all of our members are here, why don’t we Catch the KPOP next week and talk more with NU’EST. Karen is that okay with you?
Karen: Of course! Of course~
Aron: We’ll call this: This is NU’EST Time~ Is that okay with you guys?
NU’EST: ……………….
Karen: You guys. *translates to Korean*
NU’EST: Ohh, yes~~ 
Aron: And you know, our listeners always ask, what do the other members do while you come to the studio for Music Access? I guess, they can find out today. Can you tell our listeners what you do while I’m working, one by one? 
Baekho: Honestly.. I just sleep.
Minhyun: Since we’re all students, we all go to school and we also work out.
Ren: ―wasn’t translated but I think it’s pretty similar to what the other 2 said―
Baekho: While Aron hyung is working, we usually don’t have any sort of special schedule plans so invite us often. 
JR: I wake up early and go to school and then I come back home to take a little nap and then I go work out. 
Karen: Sounds like a great schedule. 
Aron: Music Access Family, please send us your questions for our members ―instructions on how to send message on Arirang Radio―

Aron: And we have questions everyday about NU’EST members so we picked the best three from the questions that come up the most and we’ll shout this out together before we get to the questions: Catch the NU’EST―Aha! 
NU’EST: Babam! Babam! Pororong~~ *laughs*
Baekho: Ah isn’t how we do it? 
Aron: The first thing that our Music Access Family are curious about “Oppa, what is your ideal type?†
Baekho: She has to have big eyes..
Aron: Me.
Baekho: She has to have long straight hair and have a very cute face. 
Aron: Mm, okay~ Cutie?
Minhyun: I like girls with shoulder length hair or short hair..
Baekho: Name.
Minhyun: Oh?
Baekho: Give us a name.
Minhyun: Go Jun Hee ssi, I like her hair style.
Aron: Is he a fan of Go Jun Hee?
Minhyun: Ah, yes~ I watch her shows~ 
Aron: Oh, maybe you can give like, a little like, you know like, a little love message like, a little letter.
Minhyun: I don’t know if you’re listening to this radio now but.. People say I look like 2AM’s Jung Jinwoon so I would like to film something like We Got Married with you. Thank you very much.
Aron: What about Ren?
Ren: My ideal type is a girl that can lie down on a green pasture and look up at the sky.
Karen: I don’t know if there are girls like that?
Minhyun: Can it be any girl that’s lying on a green pasture?
Ren: Yes. That’s right. 
Aron: Oh, okay. If you guys take photos and post it up on the message board, I’ll introduce you to Ren.
JR: I like a girl that can take good care of me and has a lot of aegyo.
Aron: Me. Girl.
JR: Aron hyung, if that ideal girl is a guy, I’ll choose you.
Aron: You know he likes aegyo, right? Can you ask him to show a little bit of aegyo to our listeners?
Minhyun: Wao~~ 
JR: … Bbuing bbuing~
NU’EST: Ohhhhh―
Minhyun: Omaigat 
Karen: Wait, I have a question. Is this Bbuing bbuing thing a similarity between all of your members? Do you guys all do this?
Aron: You know what, I think yeah, I think we do actually. Except Baekho. Baekho doesn’t like aegyo.
Karen: Yeah, I can’t see Baekho doing that.
Baekho: I hate it.

Aron: The second question is: what do you think is the most sexy part about you, your body, personality, face, etc.? How about we start from JR this time and go around this way.

JR: Oh me? My eyes? I think it's sexy.
Minhyun: Show us~
JR: Count 1,2,3 please?
Minhyun: Look at the camera~
NU'EST: 1,2,3!
*JR looks at the camer*
Karen: Very sexy, very sexy~ Okay, Ren?
Ren: It's the same as JR, I think my eyes are sexy.
JR: Really?
Karen: Why don't we put them to a test? We'll ask our Producer and Engineer which
one is sexier.
*they all went crazy*
Aron: I think Ren won.
Karen: Well, according to our Producer and Engineer, who are both men, they said Ren.
Ren: Thank you~
Aron: It might be because he looks like a girl, kind of.
Karen: Ah yeah~ I think it could be a little bit different if it was a girl to do the judging process so I think our writer and I will do the judging a little bit later.
Aron: Okay~
Karen: The next person is Minhyun?
Minhyun: Oh.. Sexy part.. Oh I know! Adam's apple!
Aron: Oh, you know like Adam's apple they have― it's like connected to your voice so maybe you could sing like a little u~~h~
Minhyun: Ah, sing?
Baekho: 1,2―
Aron: Ahhh~ One reverb please~
JR: 1,2,3~
Minhyun: Ah, wait, what do I sing?
NU'EST: Yeoboseyo, Yeoboseyo~
Minhyun: Ah, Yeoboseyo?
Aron: 3,2,1
Minhyun: Yeoboseyo~ Bab-uhahahaha *breaks into a laugh*
NU'EST: Eyyyyyhhh
Karen: Okay, I thought the first part was pretty sexy?
Aron: *continues to make strange sounds*
Karen: So Minhyun said his Adam's apple is very sexy so we listened to his voice and our next person is Baekho. Which part is the sexiest, which part do you think is the sexiest?
Baekho: I have very strong, sturdy legs.
Aron: Yes, if you look at his thighs, you know, they're uhm, they're pretty sturdy *laughs*

Aron: Alright guys, let's go on to our third and final question. The third question that our Music Access family have been asking the most: What is a hobby or leisure activity you want to do if you have enough time and money?
Baekho: If I had enough time and I have enough money, I would love to go on trips abroad but I will also need a girlfriend.
Minhyun: I'll go with you~
Baekho: No, it's okay.
Aron: And Minhyun?
Minhyun: What leisure activity I want to do if I have enough time and money... Oh, that's right! We went to Thailand recently and I really enjoyed snorkeling so I'd like to travel to different places in the world, nice oceans and go skin-scuba diving and see all the wildlife and the ocean there.
Aron: Ren?
Ren: I want to go to the pyramids in Egypt.
Aron: You know he's been saying this ever since he's a trainee, like, he wants to go to Egypt and see pyramids.
Karen: Yeah, I want to do that to.
Aron: You know, I think it's outrageous, I don't know *laughs* but, anyways, JR?
JR: As for me. I will need a lot of time because I want to buy game consoles and buy a lot of games and I want to beat all of it one by one.
Aron: All right guys, I hope that answered all of your questions but don't go away, we have more with NU'EST, right after a song: Yeoboseyo by NU'EST~

Aron said Ren has really long arms and legs

Aron admitted he uses Facebook while in class but he still studies

Aron says his birthday was fun, he went bowling and more over a fan bought him a guitar for his birthday!

Aron and his friends went to a mart and he was reverse parking, he didn't notice something on the wall and it hit the back window, shattering it

His friend saw what it is and that it was about to hit the car but told him the last minute. “Aaron there’s something―†*crash* 'Thanks dude'

10Asia Interview

Part 1

New boy bands will usually sing of love, whether it be romancing or heartbreak, with hopes of quickly making fans by touching females’ hearts. But such was not the case for NU’EST, who became dubbed the ‘spokesmen of teenagers’ upon their debut last summer. The group consisted of members JR, Aron, Baekho, Minhyun and Ren, sang of the problem of bullying in schools through their debut song “FACE†which has long been a social issue in Korea. Then through their song “Action†from their first mini-album, the five raised their voices on nonconformity. It was only through their latest release “Hello†in February that they spoke of love, but it seems they may go back to where they started at.

The group, already gaining presence throughout Asia, met with TenAsia for an interview last week before hitting the road for their Asia tour “2013 NU’EST L.O.Λ.E. TOUR†starting in June. 

 

Q: How have you been?
JR: We’ve mostly been practicing a lot for our concert in Japan. Aron is also the DJ for a radio program so he’s been doing that too.

 

Q: Could you each introduce the person next to you?

Ren: Aron is the rapper of our group. As the oldest member of the team, he always takes care of us and guides us. When we do something wrong, he tells us so and he also cooks for us. Aron is good at cooking things like pasta, he’s our chef.

Minhyun: Aron always tells us not to cook. I sometimes try to help, but he says “No.â€

All: We all are really bad cooks. To the point you can’t eat the food we cook.

Aron: JR is the team leader. He dances and raps. JR is a bit childish so he likes reading comic books and assembling Gundam V plastic models.

JR: Minhyun is tall and such a model student. He’s also really clean. The four of us don’t clean much, so Minhyun usually does the cleaning. He scolds us a lot afterwards, telling us things like, “Clean up after finishing your meal†or “Do the dishes.†He’s like the mom of our team.

Minhyun: Baekho is the main vocalist of our team. He is very masculine and has a strong mindset but is also playful and a bit lazy, so he is the one I have the hardest time with as mom.

Baekho: What does Ren do? I think he’s the best looking on our team. And he likes weird clothes. He has a unique sense of fashion.

Minhyun: Ren’s closet is full of clothes that we avoid. He wears unique prints such as pyramids or flower patterns even in daily life.

 

Q: If Aron does the cooking and Minhyun does the cleaning, what do the rest of you do?

JR, Baekho, Ren: We decide by rock-paper-scissors.

 

Q: Since Minhyun does the cleaning, is he the best roommate?

JR: Minhyun cleans the house all the time. When we go overseas and stay in hotels, Baekho and Minhyun, JR and Ren share a room together and Aron stays with the manager.

Minhyun: There’s a disadvantage to sharing a room with me. I sing in the morning.

Ren: I share a room with Minhyun. He sings while taking showers and it wakes me up.

Baekho: Minhyun sings, but I’m fine with it. I sleep deep and singing doesn’t wake me up. I’m comfortable sharing rooms with Minhyun.

 

Q: You’ll be performing in a lot of countries soon including Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia. Which country are you looking forward to going to the most?

JR: Japan excites me the most. My birthday is June 8 and that’s when we’ll have our concert in Japan. In a way I guess it’s sad because I won’t get to spend it at home.

Baekho: Taiwan. Because that’s when my birthday is. It wasn’t on purpose, it just turned out that way so I’m sorry to my Korean fans because they seem to be sad about it. But I’m looking forward to it.

Minhyun: I choose Japan. And it’s because we are currently practicing hard for the concert. I want it to be a success.

Aron: Malaysia for me. The shows in Japan, Singapore and Taiwan will be our own concerts but the one in Malaysia will be for our entire agency Pledis so I think it’ll be more special.

Ren: Singapore. The whole country was so clean when I last went. I felt like I was in heaven. Although Minhyun does a good job of cleaning too.

 

Q: What has been your favorite theme among the albums you’ve released so far?

Baekho: â€Hello†for me. And it’s because the choreography wasn’t difficult. I had a hard time with the other songs, sweating a lot. But “Hello†is pretty quiet and you don’t have to dance other than for your own parts. (laughs) That’s what was good about it.

Minhyun: My favorite is our debut song “FACE.†We sang as spokespersons for teenagers which I think many people related to so if we got to do another song, I’d like to sing one that many people can identify with.

JR: Every concept was good. I liked the “Hello†at first, but changed my mind after reading all the comments from fans. I always check them and many of them said they want us to go back to the theme we went with for “FACE.†That’s why I’m hoping our next album will be like “FACE.†It’s both because our fans want it and because I think our fans would feel sympathy to our music.

Aron: Though we didn’t perform it on stage, ‘Introduce Me to Your Noona,’ [translated title] is my personal favorite. I kind of like jazz and R&B.

Ren: I like “FACE.†It showed our color the most and fans responded to it well to.

Baekho: I choose “FACE†too. (laughs) 

 

Q: Is there any country you’d like to travel to again or recommend for traveling?

Baekho: For me it’s Thailand. It’s the place that we went to most recently and we had such a great time snorkeling, riding motorcycles and bumper boats. Everything was so much fun.

Minhyun: We went to L.A. last December. I was so excited to go there since it was my first time. But we couldn’t do much because of our schedule. We mostly stayed at the hotel, concert hall and shooting site. Aron showed us around a little, but we didn’t have much time.

JR: I’d like to visit Paris one day. We were supposed to visit Paris once, and I got very excited about it. But it didn’t happen so I’d like to visit it and see the Eiffel Tower with my own eyes.

Aron: L.A. of course. It’s my hometown. I lived there. I know every corner of the place, but I like to visit it once in a while. The last time I went there was for the KCON. Mom, Dad, I love you (laughs)

Ren: I want to perform in New York. I’ve wanted to go see the Statue of Liberty since I was young. New York is also the background to the movie “Home Alone 2.†I dreamt about visiting New York while watching the movie then I was young.

 

Q: There was an incident at the airport in Singapore last year.

JR: We went to Singapore for a showcase last October. We were on the plane when there was an uproar amongst the fans. And some fans had said we hit them.

Minhyun: We had already taken our seats in the plane when the police came and asked me and JR to step outside. I didn’t know what was going on, but we followed him, and Aron came along with us to translate for us.

JR: We were told to get off because the police thought we had assaulted someone. But it turned out that some of our fans got into a fight with each other but the police misunderstood them and took us off the plane.

Aron: We resolved a misunderstanding, but the plane had taken off by then so we had to wait inside the airport for 12 hours for the next flight.

Part 2

Q: Which singers are you closest to?

JR: We are close to BTOB, SPEED and VIXX because these three groups debuted similarly to us.

 

Q: What has changed for you the most since your debut?

Baekho: I met my cousin last time, and someone posted a photo of it on their twitter. I was surprised that people noticed me.

Minhyun: And everyone has become more handsome.

Aron, Ren: Thanks.

JR: I think everything is the same except for the fact that I tend to watch my behavior more since people recognize us.

 

Q: Which do you value the most amongst studying, dating or work? 

Minhyun: To be honest, I value most what I’m doing at the moment. Studying is important as well but… man, what do I say. I studied hard when I was in junior high, but I haven’t studied much at all since training to become a singer.

Baekho: I think the work I’m doing comes first and then my studies?

Aron: Well, I don’t go to school. (laughs) I just want to both work and date someone.

Ren: I want to focus on my activities as well.

JR: The most important thing right now is to make ourselves known. Once many people come to like us, I think we’d naturally come to date someone too.

 

Q: Do you prefer older women, younger women or women of your age? (@PikaPokes)

Baekho: I like older women. There’s just a good vibe about them.

Minhyun: I don’t care much about age as long as I like that person.

JR: I don’t have a specific ideal type either. I just want someone that can take care of me. I’d be able to take care of that person too but just someone who’d be able to take care of me when I’m having a hard time.

Baekho: That would be someone older.

Aron: I’d like to meet someone my age or a year younger. I like cute girls.

Ren: I don’t mind younger or older. I just want someone that can take good care of me. My ideal kind of girl would be one that looks at the night sky lying on the grass of a meadow.

Baekho: I like long straight hair on girls, but it’s not that important. The important thing would be that her eyes be big. So someone older with long straight hair and big eyes.

 

Q: Aron, it was your birthday recently. How did you spend it?

Aron: I was deejaying my radio show and all of my group’s members paid me a surprise visit. We then ate, went to bowling alley and had cake.

 

Q: Do you like going bowling?

Baekho: Aron has played before and our manager is really good. It was the first time for the rest of us. But I think I have some talent for it.

JR: He’s actually not. He was okay at first but he gradually ran out of energy.

 

Q: It was Coming-of-Age day a few days ago. And you were the only person who became an adult, Aron. What did you do that day?

Aron: We practiced. I wanted to have a party so it’s a bit disappointing that I couldn’t. But I’m okay with it because there’s no such day in the States.

 

Q: What would you want to do on your Coming-of-Age day? (@PikaPokes)

Baekho: I’m going to have fun. I will do everything. (Q: Clubbing and drinking as well?) Of course, I won’t discriminate.

Minhyun: After everyone’s done eating, I will probably clean up, do the laundry and dishes, and scold them.

 

Q: Well, JR, you’re younger than Aron but the leader of your group. What’s the reason for this? 

JR: I think it’s probably because of experience. I was a trainee for the longest time so I saw, heard and experienced more than them.

 

Q: But isn’t it it hard to say things to Aron as leader? 

JR: Well, it actually doesn’t happen because I usually just ask for opinions or give suggestions.

Aron: I’m the oldest in out group but I have no problem with JR being the leader because I grew up in the U.S. We are like friends.

 

Q: JR, How was your kissing scene with actress Nam bo-ra for the music video to “Hello� (Au Xian)
JR: We were first told about the kissing scene two weeks before the shoot. Then I heard that I will be the one who will do the that day. So I brushed my teeth a lot because it’s just basic manners. I also wasn’t actually going to kiss her on the lips but the director and my agency’s CEO got angry and told me to be a man about it so I had to. I was so nervous that I had no thoughts at the time.

Ren: He looked for mouthwash every 30 minutes. (laugh)

Minhyun: We were all watching the scene getting filmed on the monitor. And they were really kissing.

Aron: If you look closely at that scene, I’m in it. And I was at ease at first because it wasn’t snowing but it suddenly started to a lot yet they wouldn’t kiss. So I told them to hurry.

 

Q: Did you have to re-shoot the scene a lot?

JR: I made bloopers three times. Once before we actually kissed, and then twice for the kiss itself.

 

Q: And was it your first kiss? 
JR: My first kiss. No honestly, it wasn’t my first kiss but I did it as if it was.

 

Q: When did the rest of you kiss for the first time? 

Baekho, Minhyun: No comments.

Aron: What is kissing? (laughs)

 

Q: When will the next album released? 

Baekho: One thing for sure is that it won’t be June. We have to perform overseas up till June so it’ll probably be July at the earliest. The concept of our next album is a secret. It’s been decided, but we want to surprise our fans. It’ll be a pretty cool album though so we hope our fans will be looking forward to it.
