LEJ : There were many comments saying that your vocal combination with Kyungsoo was insane. How was it? How did you end up with this connection with Kyungsoo again?
👤 : Exactly. Exactly
NYK : We didn’t really have any connection at all at first, but Kyungsoo kindly sang my song many times at fan meetings and on broadcasts. That’s when I thought, "He's the one!". A lot of juniors have sung this song, but his voice was the one I liked the most. Even during the recording, I didn’t really touch (interfered) anything. I was technically the one directing, but I trusted that Kyungsoo would do it well in his own style, so I personally reached out to him (last words literal translation is "I wooed him" > "I really wanted him, so I actively pursued him / asked him myself". Na Yoonkwon sunbae-nim use that word, that's why everyone was laughing after he said that 😂)
LEJ : "Wooed him" ㅋㅋㅋ
NYK : Please, I'll kneel before you..(Jokingly)
LEJ : A senior with 21 years of experience "Wooed" him (i.e. personally reached out)
NYK : When we met for the first time in the recording studio, I greeted him to the point of sitting on the floor, out of gratitude (T/n : Sitting on the floor is an exaggerated way of showing respect/thanks in Korean)
LEJ : They respect each other
👤 : It must have been so good for both of you
LEJ : Yes. I think that must have been the feeling
Aww :') Na Yoonkwon sbn chose Kyungsoo over everyone because he liked Kyungsoo's voice the most 🥹
he spent 2 hours on the road for his friend’s wedding and back to his group’s performance he really has so much love for his group, his friend and being on stage. These attitudes get you far and thats why he is where he is now
Kyungsoo first went to the MMA Red Carpet at Gocheok Sky Dome, then traveled to Shilla Hotel to congratulate Kim Woo Bin & Shin Min Ah for their wedding but left after 15 mins to go back to Gocheok for the EXO performance at MMA. Estimated time of the round trip travel is around 2 hours.
If this is not love and dedication wrapped in one person, then I don’t know what it is. 🥹🩷🫳
