🦚: I talked about this on my live earlier, and I don’t know if it’ll be clipped or not, but I honestly thought fans didn’t really enjoy seeing me on music shows. To be honest, I never liked them that much either.
Ever since the Twins, Miracle, and U days, I always remembered fans lining up early in the freezing cold for Music Bank, M Countdown, Music Core, and Inkigayo. They’d come while half asleep, and some even had to head straight to school in their uniforms afterward. I still remember all of that.
That’s why I thought music shows weren’t really necessary. As long as we could perform at concerts, fan-cons, and hold fan sign events, I felt that was enough, which is why I focused more on those activities.
But Leeteuk told me, “Heechul, fans actually like music shows too.” I replied, “But they spend their valuable time trying to get tickets, then wait for hours just to see us perform for three to six minutes. I don’t know if that’s worth it, and I kept wondering if it was right to put them through that.”
But since you all enjoy seeing us on music shows, we talked about it and decided to arrange whatever schedules we could as quickly as possible. Even though it may look like I’m producing everything for 83z, Leeteuk is actually handling so many things behind the scenes that I don’t even know about. In the end, we’re doing what our fans want.
