arno has expressed so many times how much he wants to showcase his vocals and now he said he wants to go on lee mujin service. hope he gets opportunities to show that his voice is just as beautiful as his dancing 🥹
🌹 “in the future, i want to show a variety of styles, not just powerful performances but also house music. these days, what i especially want to focus on is vocals. since i’ve spent so much time focusing on dancing, i now want to be recognized more for my singing too”
SINGLES interview (1/2) #아르노#ARNO
💬 what’s the most unforgettable sight you’ve seen since debut?
🌹 our first fan concert. it was truly amazing and something i’m so grateful for, to see the entire venue filled with just our fans. even now, every time right before going on stage, i secretly look for our fans in the audience. when i think “there are people over there who like us” i feel at ease. it also gives me the strength to feel like i can perform even better on stage.
💬 i heard you’re quite strict with yourself when it comes to performing on stage. what do you consider to be your best performance?
🌹 a performance where the expressiveness, performance and even the smallest details are as close to perfect as possible. even now, every time i finish a performance, i tell myself that i have to do better next time. that’s why i always think that my best performance is the next one.
💬 was it the same when you were preparing for the ‘chains’ performance on b2p?
🌹 back then, i really thought it might be my last performance. i wanted to show as much of my charm as possible in such a short time. even when i closed my eyes to sleep, i kept thinking about what kind of gestures i should do. then, during practice one day, my clothes happened to get caught on my hand, and i thought “oh? this actually feels pretty good” i tried changing that movement several times until i found the expression i liked best. i also created a sequence of movements where i brought my feet together before the move where i balanced on one leg, paying attention to even the smallest details.
💬 how does it feel when someone recognizes all the hard work you’ve put in over the years?
🌹 it makes me feel really proud. i look up videos of dance instructors analyzing and reviewing my performances. when i watch them, it really moves me because it feels like people are finally recognizing all the hard work i’ve put in over the past 7–8 years.
💬 you said you were especially disappointed about not being able to take part in ‘born dire’ comeback stage.
🌹 i thought ‘born dire’ was the most intense performance out of all the songs we’ve shown so far. i felt like i’d finally gotten the chance to properly show myself, so it really hurt that i couldn’t be part of that stage. the members comforted me a lot during that time. instead of saying anything special, they would just bring me snacks and stay by my side. they showed me how they felt through their actions rather than words. those are the moments that have stayed with me.
💬 what kind of relationship do you have with anxin now, after debuting, now that you did a unit cover together today?
🌹 if we used to be like an older brother and a younger brother who simply knew each other, now it feels like we’re family. these days, anxin is often the one taking care of me instead.
💬 you’ve spent so much time together that you must understand each other really well, right?
🌹 we’ve been together for so long that i can tell what he wants to eat just by looking into his eyes haha. i tend to become particularly sensitive when we’re practicing and when that happens, anxin comes up to me first and gives me a hug without saying anything. that makes me feel at ease. it makes me think, “ah i have someone on my side”. we also have similar tastes in food. in the past, i used to look for good restaurants every weekend and take him there. these days, when anxin orders delivery food, i just ask for the same menu because everything tastes good.

no wonder he reacted like that when kany complimented him 🥺🥺🥺
q: how does it feel when someone recognizes the effort that you put in over such a long period?
🌹it’s very rewarding. sometimes i will search up videos where dance instructors analyze and evaluate my performances. whenever i see that, i feel that the hard work i placed in over 7-8 years have been recognized by someone and i feel very rewarding
