Q. For the people that are used to seeing you guys on TV variety shows, it could feel weird to see you on stage. Plus, you guys are completely different when you’re on stage versus off stage.
Seungho: Although we need to take care of our image as singers and there are many things we shouldn’t do because we’re idol stars, we think it’s okay to go easier on those limitations and instead, just do well enough on stage that nobody will think of those sides to us. We wanted to be told that we’re great and sexy when we’re on stage and really funny and friendly when we’re off stage.
Q. Your appearance on tvN’s “SNL Korea” was pretty shocking for an idol star too. In the episode dubbed “Step by Step,” the way in which you guys dissed yourselves left a strong impression.
Seungho: If it was about a really pitiful story or an incident that people viewed unfavorably, it would’ve done us damage. But it was good opportunity to give viewers a good laugh and each member got to appeal to the audiences as well, like how I compared myself to actor Yoo Seung-ho, who has a much longer career than mine.
