exok-trans:

'Super Star K's' Park Jaejung met idol group EXO.

Through cable channel Mnet ‘Super Star K5’ staff, Park Jaejung recently went to meet EXO members Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chanyeol who had cheered for him.

That day, Park Jaejung showed the members a R&B genre newly made EXO’s ‘Growl’ to the members. As soon as Park Jaejung started the song that he prepared, the members replied on the post by adding harmonizations and beat boxing. 

Regarding Park Jaejung’s remake of ‘Growl,’ the EXO members complimented saying “We have never heard a remake like this before. I think our ownership of the song is going to get stolen.”  They proved they were a fan of Park Jaejung by saying “We have been watching him since the preliminaries. We think that his semi low voice is very charming. He looks much more handsome in real life.” 

The broadcast of ‘Super Star K5’ where Park Jaejung meets with EXO members Baekhyun, Xiumin, Chanyeol will be broadcasted on the 8th at 11Pm.

[MAGAZINE/INTERVIEW] Men’s Style November Issue - Xiumin

Xiumin What’s your impression on China?

Men’s Style: What type of men do you think have the most charm? What type of women are the most attractive? Xiumin: Disregarding gender, I respect those with outstanding charms on the outside~ It is simply who has the ability to attract others more themselves.

Men’s Style: In the members, is there anyone’s album image you’re envious of or would like to try? Xiumin: Before being envious of anyone else’s images, I am busier taking care of what I am responsible for in the group. In my opinion, each of the images the members have taken on in this album suit them each very well, so we’re all pretty satisfied!

Men’s Style: The members all call you “baozi”, please try using food to describe the others members too. Xiumin: Kris - pork legs, Lu Han - tofu, Lay - carbonara spaghetti, Chen - Americano, Tao - fried chicken…..

Men’s Style: Even though you’re EXO’s dage you have a baby face. So have you ever been “bullied” because of your baby face? Xiumin: On first impression, most people think that I’m younger than them so they take advantage of me but after talking for a while and asking about age, and after they know about my age, they’re all get quite shocked, then they’re respectful towards me~ These sort of situations come up quite often~ So now it doesn’t really bother me anymore~ Haha ^^ …………

Men’s Style: Up until now, what’s the hardest Chinese phrase that you’ve learnt? Xiumin: To be honest, there hasn’t been one particular phrase that’s difficult. But having learnt Chinese, opening your mouth to actually speak it has been difficult. I have the determination but I haven’t learn it properly so I’m kind of trying to figure out what it is exactly about myself that’s not doing it……

Men’s Style: You’ve come to China quite a number of times, what’s the biggest feeling and impression you’ve had? What part of China do you like the most? Xiumin: Each and every different realm of China is huge! I also find it quite abundant……..  and also makes me feel quite at ease. Furthermore, China’s dishes are all really yummy as well as unique! So, to be honest, if it’s possible, I would like to study abroad in China and learn Chinese well!

Men’s Style: What makes you happiest?  Xiumin: Is there really a need to say? ( ? The interviewer showed an expression where he didn’t really understand ^^ Do you understand? ) Obviously it’s when I’m on stage that I’m the most, most, most happiest!

Speed Questions

Q: What do you think is needed to be a charismatic man? A: What everyone asks for is different. I don’t think charisma can me “made” but it’s something natural. So I think that if there’s something that you want to do, do it! That’s the best way.

Q: When you are with the other EXO members, what is the topic most talked about? A: Just as each day is different, our topics are also different. Aside from our schedule, everything else just flows with our feelings, the conversations are always different

Q: In the short term, what is the dream you would most want to realise? A: If it were possible, I want to try making coffee credentials~

Q: When it comes to travelling, other than your family and parents, if you have to pick a member from the group, who would you most want to go with? What kind of place would you most like to go to? A: Depending on where I choose to go, the member that I choose to go with will also be different. First of all, the first place that I thought of as well as the place that I want to go to the most is England, I want to go with Lu Han. The reason is simple, we want to personally see a football match with our own two eyes~~

Q: What type of men do you find easiest to admire? A: This question is quite had to answer. We’re not talking about women, but about men, so I’ve never really thought about it, it’s quite awkward!

Q: Please say something to the fans and readers of this issue! A: Hello everyone! I am EXO’s Xiumin! This year, because of the support and love from the fans, we, EXO, have had a lot of joyful occasions. Even though work has gotten even more busy, because of this we are able to spend each day even happier. I don’t know whether it’s possible for us to be so lucky and so happy. Every single day and every single hour, we are doing our utmost best to make everyone proud! I hope that everyone will continue to care for us and support us in the same way as it is now! I’ve incredibly thankful to you all and I really love you all so much~!

[Trans] [ Tao - Shanghai TV Magazine]

TAO, the prince from fairytales. Being in a crowd of people, Huang Zitao does not have to do anything special to stand out. Because he is really tall. The main point is he's skinny, so visually, he's even taller. And today, two sparkling earrings hang from his ears, different from the rest. He has a little evil aura around his forehead. Vampire, arrogant prince...seems like the protaganist in fairytales. He comes from Qingdao, the seaside city with many ancient European castles. Q: Qingdao is very pretty. Growing up in Qingdao, how would you introduce your hometown to everyone? TAO: Very pretty, very bustling, very historic...And the beaches of Qingdao are very famous. Very worth a visit. Q: What is the most difficult thing as a trainee? TAO: The time since I entered the company was the shortest, being a year till now. So as to catch up with everyone else in this short period of time, I had to put in even more effort. This was what I felt was the most tiring. Q: Whom is the first star that you like? What do you like about him?TAO: I never like any stars. I like them, because of their works, and not because of them themselves. It's the same from then till now. Q: Being in charge of Wushu in the group, how did you accumulate the basics of Wushu? TAO: I started practicing Wushu since I was 5. I have been practicing since young till now, and have participated in many competitions. (Note : The personal interview has already ended here. But after a while, he specially suggested to add on to his answer) I would like to clarify that being in-charge of Wushu means that I'll only come out when there is a need to do Wushu moves. My main occupational interest is still music. I am a RAPPER ! trans: boonyi^^ Pic. Cr: zzhlisa via exo_m_k

LUHAN, a deer whom hunters do not bear to kill There is no need for many words to describe the prettyness of LUHAN. Other than being pretty, he also has a lovely aura, just like a deer whom hunters do not bear to kill. Yet, he speaks just like a manly fluent Beijing man. He elutes a mixture of delicateness and handsomeness. So intriguing. Q: Before going to Korea, how was your life in Beijing like? LUHAN: I was a high-school student. Having lessons everyday. Living in school hostels, going home every friday night, staying for two days, then going back to school again. A normal life just like everyone else. Q: Do your parents support you in debuting and being an artiste? How do your friends view you being a star? LUHAN: I first went to Korea for an exchange, before debuting. With regards to being an artiste, my father was supportive. At the start, my mum was a little against it, because she felt that this job was not stable and unreliable. After all, this is a road of no returns. My friends also felt unbelievable. But through my hardwork, I made them understand. Q: What is the biggest difficulty after going to Korea? LUHAN: Still the langauge barrier. After all, it was not my native language. Q: If you were to introduce Beijing to Korean friends, what of Beijing would you recommend? LUHAN: The Great Wall of China... Q: On a personal note, what kind of places do you like? LUHAN: The cafes in Beijing. I personally like to go to cafes. For example, those near my house, Haidingqu and Zhongguchun (areas in Beijing). I can only say so much, because I'm afraid fans would go over to find me. Haha. trans: boonyi^^ pic cr: zzhlisa via exo_m_k

Q: What was your impression of China since young? CHEN : We learnt how to write Chinese characters (Hanja) since young, and the schools also taught us a lot of information related to China. I didn't feel like China was a far and foreign country since I was young. Q: What is the difference being here in China and from what you have imagined it to be? CHEN : There are many things that are differnt. For example, food. Yesterday, in Shanghai, I tried duck's tongue for the first time.

CHEN : Because work is very busy right now, my plans for learning always get disrupted. So I'm not learning well.

Q: What is the most difficult thing about Mandarin. CHEN : The intonations of Mandarin makes me feel that it is very difficult, because there are times when the entire meaning changes when the into nations are different. trans: boonyi^^ pic.

[Trans] [Xiumin - Shanghai TV Magazine]

XIUMIN, the bun with 'peach-blossom eyes' He is really small, and looks like a middle-schooler. With the corners of his eyes curving upwards, it's just like 'peach-blossoms eyes' as mentioned in old times. During the interview, he's staring at you seriously, with a tinge of smiles on his face. With his goody-two-shoes apperance, it makes you believe that this "middle-schooler" wouldn't even do any mischievous things after school. Q : Your nickname is "Baozi (bun)". Why? XIUMIN : "Baozi" this nickname was given by LUHAN. Because I was chubbier when I first debut as compared to now. Bieng fair-skinned and chubby, it was more like a bun. So he called me "baozi (bun)". After that, the fans started calling me that as well, and so it spreaded. Q : So then, have you eaten Chinese dumplings (xiao long bao) or pan-fried dumplings in Shanghai? How was the taste? XIUMIN : I haven't tried it yet. It's a pity. I wish to try it. Q : You know Taekwondo and fencing. Why did you learn them? When did you start learning them? Was there any unforgettable moments during training? XIUMIN : When I was young, there was a martial arts school outside of my school which was recruiting students. The advertisment was : If you join our school, you'll get a toy ! I really wanted that toy, so I went home and begged my parents to let me learn wushu. My parents felt that wushu can strengthen the body and keep fit, so they agreed. In the end, I started learning martial arts. Q : Haha, what toy was it? XIUMIN : It was a character from a manga, those kind that can shoot out bullets from the chest. Q : Heard that you like Jay Chou and JJ Lin. What do you admire about them? XIUMIN : Jay Chou is the Chinese singer whom I am most familiar with. Not only is he an outstanding composer and singer, he also directed movies, so he's really talented. I knew about JJ Lin after a friend played his song to me, and I like his voice. Most of his songs are also written by him, and those songs are really great.

[Trans] [Lay -Shanghai TV Magazine]

LAY, The king of playfulness who misses Hunan food Zhang Yixing leaves the deepest impression on people, even though he's not the most handsome. The reason why he leaves such a deep impression is probably because he is the most talkative, plus his exaggerated body movements and him opening his eyes widely at times, making you feel that he is doing this interview very seriously and hardworkingly. Maybe it's when his Hunan accent comes out unknowningly when he speaks that makes you feel : Ah, even in Korea, he's still a native boy ! Q : How were you like when you were in Changsha? LAY : A normal life, learning biology and chemistry, and preparing for college exams. I was so nervous that I felt like dying because of college exams. Q: Has becoming a star saved you? LAY : Yes, hahaha (Admitting it generously, such an honest man !) Q: Hunan natives like to eat spicy food, did you manage to eat Hunan food in Korea? Will you miss it? LAY : Didn't eat it. Really miss it (with a serious expression). Only when my mum comes visit me in Korea will she bring along some of the Hunan food that she made, or she'll make them for me in Korea, to satisfy my cravings. Q : Something that you wish to complete recently? LAY : It's still writing of songs. Mainly composing. For lyrics, I'll like to try in both Mandarin and Korean. Q : Your fans set up a charity fund in your name. With regards to this, what is your opinions about it? LAY : I have heard about this. I feel that they are really incredible, and it's meaningful. But I still hope that fans will do what they can within their limits. The most important thing is still for them to look after themselves.

KRIS, using his life to walk through the airport Even people who don't really know EXO have seen those various cool pictures of the members at the airport, which are spreading like crazy all over Weibo. Among those, the most captivating is Wu Yifan ! Those styles, those poses, those are called "using your life to walk through the airport". The KRIS in photos is so cool, but in real life, when conversing with him, he has a feeling of being approachable and warm. Q : Your drawing style is abstract. Did you ever consider being an artist? KRIS : Hahaha (Can't stop laughing). Nope. Once, I did a drawing on a show, and it was a rhinoceros, but nobody could see that it was a rhino. It was too abstract. Since then, everyone called me an abstract artist. Haha, artist? That's flattering from the fans. Q : Usually your clothes are quite stylish, such as those attires frequently captured at the airport. Those outsiders say that you are using your life to walk through the airport. What is this about? KRIS : Hahaha (Laughing again, he really likes laughing). I have an interest in fashion, and personally, I like to pay attention to how I match my clothes. Usually when the group is performing, we have group outfits. In private, I wish to have a personal style, so I'll let everyone see a different me. Q : Do you also put in effort to match your clothes when you go out usually? KRIS : Not really putting in effort on purpose, depends on the mood on that day. I still find fun in it, because fashion is of my interest. Q : How different is it being a star and from what you have imagined it to be? KRIS : It's not very much different. Because I knew previously that any job has its gains and losses, and behind those glamourous appearance, there is hard work to be paid off. Having to lose one's freedom and working hard behind-the-scenes, I am prepared for all these. In short, I tell myself to treat things as usual. Q : Do you like being a star? Are there other dreams? KRIS : Of course I like it. I have another dream, that is to play basketball and be a basketballer. Actually, whenever there is a chance, I'll usually play basketball. Q : Being a basketballer and a singer, these two professions are something that has to be done in your youth. Does it mean you have to give up on the other while doing one? KRIS : Yes. So, moving further and further away from my other dream (wistful expression, such rich expressions....) trans: boonyi^^ pic. Cr: zzhlisa via exo_m_k
