Not for a moment escaped the attention of the media. Confirmation of this is the huge number of released interviews. But it surpassed the rest. The singer spoke about what he was silent about before.

The first thing he starts with is giving permission to call him by his real name: “Jongin is what my family and friends call me. This is a very narrow circle. I never allow it to be used outside the established framework. ”

“Until a certain point, I didn’t read my interviews or the rest of the band members. For me, it's kind of uncomfortable. It’s as if I myself wrote this last night, but today I decided to open it like this and read it ... Yes, and when I was younger, I probably didn’t fully realize and feel what was happening. Although I don't tend to say things that embarrass people."

Since his debut, many fans have considered the best K-Pop dancer. To a journalist's question "What is dancing for him", the singer did not think about the answer for a long time: “I accept it as a mandatory part of my work on stage. I won't say it's a burden for me, but it's not the only thing that makes me happy. Maybe in the future, I will boldly stop dancing.”

But then he continued: "Nonetheless. Dancing helps me get rid of all negative emotions. After a good workout, I feel better.”

He did not hide his surprise when asked "What does mom mean to you?" .

“You are asking a strange question. Any free time I try to spend with her. Sometimes we go somewhere together. Then she asks not to call her “mom”, as very often they recognize me on the street and she is a little uncomfortable to be in such a position.

—“Most famous faces are often actually lonely. Sometimes it shows on their faces. What do you think about this being one of the EXO members? "

“I try to be bright, but there is truth in these words. I like to be alone and sometimes I cry. I have no friends. At such moments, I am too dejected. Therefore, I stay at home. I make no special effort to avoid or ignore these emotions. I just look them in the eye. I'm not ashamed of it..."

“What then is happiness? What do you need to do to be happier?

“Happiness cannot be eternal. Sometimes people don't realize how happy they are. After all, for this feeling you need quite a bit. We must learn to understand ourselves, to enjoy everything positive every day, and to drive away the bad. Such simple rules make a lot of people happy. It's hard, but you have to strive. I also have to learn this. Think for yourself, we can be happy even from the fact that we are sitting here one on one and talking, but none of us, after leaving the room, will think about it.

An excerpt characterizing Kai (singer)

The princess, smiling and talking to everyone, suddenly made a rearrangement and, sitting down, gaily recovered herself.
“Now I feel good,” she said, and, asking to begin, she set to work.
Prince Hippolyte carried her purse over to her, crossed over after her, and, drawing an armchair close to her, sat down beside her.
Le charmant Hippolyte [Charming Hippolyte] struck by his extraordinary resemblance to his beautiful sister, and even more so by the fact that, despite the resemblance, he was strikingly ugly. His features were the same as those of his sister, but with her everything was illuminated by a cheerful, self-satisfied, young, unchanging smile of life and an extraordinary, ancient beauty of the body; my brother, on the other hand, had the same face clouded with idiocy and invariably expressed self-confident peevishness, while his body was thin and weak. Eyes, nose, mouth - everything seemed to shrink into one indefinite and boring grimace, and arms and legs always assumed an unnatural position.
- Ce n "est pas une histoire de revenants? [Is this not a ghost story?] - he said, sitting down next to the princess and hastily attaching his lorgnette to his eyes, as if without this instrument he could not start talking.
- Mais non, mon cher, [Not at all,] - shrugging his shoulders, said the surprised narrator.
- C "est que je deteste les histoires de revenants, [The fact is that I can't stand ghost stories,]" he said in such a tone that it was clear, "he said these words, and then he realized that they meant.
Due to the self-confidence with which he spoke, no one could understand whether what he said was very smart or very stupid. He was in a dark green tailcoat, in trousers of the color cuisse de nymphe effrayee, [thighs of a frightened nymph,] as he himself said, in stockings and shoes.
Vicomte [Vicomte] spoke very nicely about the anecdote that was then circulating that the Duke of Enghien secretly went to Paris to meet with m lle George, [Mademoiselle Georges,] and that there he met Bonaparte, who also enjoyed the favors of the famous actress, and that there, meeting with the duke, Napoleon accidentally fell into the faint to which he was subject, and was in the power of the duke, which the duke did not take advantage of, but that Bonaparte subsequently avenged that generosity and avenged the death of the duke.
The story was very sweet and interesting, especially in the place where the rivals suddenly recognize each other, and the ladies seemed to be in a flurry.
