[Exclusive Interview] Withus, currently holding an event in Japan, talks about the group's appeal and their impressions of Japan

1. This is your first interview with wowKorea, so please introduce yourselves. Changhyeon:
Hello! This is my first time to greet you, everyone who is watching wowKorea! Let's say "with you"
me us! Everyone: Hello, we are "withus"! Changhyeon: A simple introduction to "withus" is that "withus" is a combination of "with" and "us".
The group name was created with the intention of expressing the idea that fans, the public, and "withus" will grow and progress together through music. 2.
Please tell us if there are any charms or appealing points that are unique to "withus" that other groups don't have. Rack:
We have positive and optimistic thoughts. We try to think positively about even the smallest things, and spend our days with the "Lucky Biki" mindset that is so popular these days.
Hwang Rok: I think they are a charming team that can show us great performances and enjoyable stages. They are a charismatic group that represents K-POP.
We can perform and have fun, and I think that the fun will be conveyed to the audience because we ourselves are having fun and making the show exciting, so we are always thinking about songs that we can all enjoy together.
Yes, you can always come and have fun with us at our shows! 3. What roles do each of you have in the team?
Changhyun: I'm the leader, but among the members, I'm the one who is innocent and cheerful.
If you want to see my innocence, check out the video I took, "Goodnight, My Lady," on the "withus" official TikTok right now!
Luck: I wake up early in the morning, so it's a careful 'alarm clock' that wakes up the members with a gentle touch. Junyeop:
When preparing for a new performance or shoot, she takes the initiative. She is the only member of "Withus" who has a "Power J" MBTI tendency.
Hwang Rok: Usually, when you think of the youngest member, you think of someone who is cute and talkative, but actually, I'm the quiet "makkah on TOP"! 4.
This will be your first event in Japan in about two months. Is there anything new you have prepared or anything we can look forward to?
Changhyeon: We arrived in Japan after studying a lot about new games and the increasingly diverse skills of our members! Junyeop:
The more performances we do, the more we realize how important it is to communicate with our fans.
This is our first season in Tokyo, and we hope to communicate with many audience members.
We have prepared a lot of songs that everyone can enjoy. 5. What has impressed you most about your activities in Japan so far? Changhyun:
The most memorable thing was being able to take pictures with the fans and have short conversations with them.
Because I can make good memories with the members. Luck: The letters from Japanese fans were the most impressive.
I was worried that if I wrote only in Japanese, the message would not be conveyed well.
When I see her writing each character in Korean, I think, "Ah, am I worthy of receiving so much love?" and I feel her sincere and thoughtful handwriting.
Junyeop: The final performance of each season was the most memorable. We also put all the energy we had into it, thinking that we could rest the next day.
So the synergy we had with our fans was what I remember the most. Hwangrok: The support and love they showed us is what I remember the most.
In fact, the final slogan event was so moving and surprising that I had a hard time holding back the tears.
The more support we get, the better energy we seem to get! 6.
The last Japan event was held in Osaka, but this time it's in Tokyo. Please tell us what you want to do in Tokyo, where you want to go, and what you want to eat.
Hello. I'm Luck, a member who loves excitement and can't live in a world without it.
I'd love to ride the roller coaster at Fuji-Q Highland.
Junyeop: I like to see the night view of each country and city! I want to see the night view of Shibuya with my own eyes, which I often see on YouTube, so I definitely plan to go!
Fanroku: I've had a lot of people recommend "Monjayaki" so I'll definitely try it. Munch, munch. 7.
I assume you are studying Japanese in preparation for your activities in Japan. What Japanese words have you recently learned?
Is there a Japanese phrase that has left an impression on you? Luck: I recently learned this phrase while listening to a song: "You've become kawaii na ne." What does it mean? It really struck me.
Junyeop: There is a Japanese word that left a lasting impression on me, and that word is "kongaragarimasu" (getting tangled). When I get confused in Japanese, I always use this word.
I remember it! Fanrok: The expression "Seriously" is the one that I remember the most. I heard it was a phrase used by young people, but I still use it a lot today. 8.
Please tell us if there are any Japanese works (music, movies, TV series, anime, etc.) that you like. Luck: I loved "Yu-Gi-Oh!"
I love Yu-Gi-Oh cards and I enjoy them so much that I even participated in a national tournament in Korea and came in 4th place!! Hahaha. Anyone want to duel with me?
Junyeop: There is an anime I want to introduce. Recently, I found it really interesting, "Violet Evergarden." I cried a lot.
I watched it while I was there. FanRoku: I especially like anime. My favorite is "Attack on Titan" and I also love "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"! 9.
What kind of group do you want withus to grow into in the future? Please tell us if you have any goals.
In the short term, we want to make a lot of withme fans at the Shinjuku concert that is currently being held and end it successfully, and in the long term,
I want to work hard to become an idol group that can perform a 3-hour concert consisting of only "withus" songs, and I want to see my fans for a long time! Fanrok:
I want to learn through many experiences and have a positive influence on many people. 10. Finally, please give a message to your Japanese fans.
Junyeop: Please continue to support us, "Withus"! We will come to see you all as brighter and friendlier people.
Changhyun: Thanks to all of the withme members, we were able to complete each season's performances safely.
We will show you everything we have prepared, even more than you have loved us! Please show us your interest, love, and support so that we can continue to grow.
All right! That's it for now, read on! "With you me us!" All: "With us." Bye bye!
