▶ How was created the ‘Handsome’ Team? Please introduce its strengths.
Jun [U-KISS]: “After chosing the members I realized that we had strong visuals. Everyone looks warms. (laughs) Our secret weapon for this stage is our vibrant energy. The concept of this song is strong men, we wanted to express this kind of bad boys (image). When you look at Dongmyeong, he really gives off a child-like innocence, like an angel, but through this song you’ll be able to see another side of him. You can anticipate the special transformation of his image.”
▶ Usually, the one who picked the members is the leader. Why did Hojeong become the leader?
Hojeong: “호정 “The member who received the most votes during the on-site voting was the one able to choose the other members. We were all picked according to Jun’s choice. After this, there was another vote to choose the leader but Jun said, “I’m okay with just choosing the members”, and he stepped down. I thought it would have been great if Jun were the leader. Then, Dongmyeong and other friends who were on the same team as me before said that based on their expirence I had leadership and that they would recommend me. So I was choosen as the leader.”

▶ This is Dongmyeong’ second survival after ‘Produce 101′. How is your determination different.
Dongmyeong: “It’s my second survival program but I’m using the experience I gained during the first contest to work even harder. I also heard some people say that I got addicted to survival shows. (laugh) To be honest, It was really hard at first. But I think that I’m (starting to) gradually enjoy it these days. It’s really fun. I’m thinking of the ‘The Unit’ as my last survival program and I’ll do my best”.
