[TRANS] and GIRL August Issue - Junho



Junho From 2PM

The great popularity of  the not-idol-like-manliness in Japan as well!
Asia No. 1 Beastly Idol “2PM” member Junho.
But, originally Junho is, really suave and charming. And, he is a cool boy with smiling face ♥
To commemorate the release of his 2nd solo mini album “FEEL”, we will deliver a dense interview with full answers, from music to his favorite girl type!




Q. Your own personality in one word?

Fire. It’s not that I get angry quickly, but when things aren’t decided quickly I can’t stand it and become frustrated. That kind of impatient personality.




Q. Your opinion about older women?

I like them. Not simply because of their age, but because I think they’re reliable, responsible, cool, and they have many things that I can learn about.
Of course, when it comes to love, I’ll think of them as ‘a girl’ even when they are older!




Q. Will you confess on yourself to the woman whom you like?

When I think I don’t want to miss that person, I think I will confess.
Personally, I don’t want to burden the woman that much though,
but because I think I need to push her until some point, I think I will frequently contact her saying “Let’s meet!”




Q. Where will you go for your first date?

Amusement park. We will conquer the rollercoaster and the others!



Q. Something given from a woman that makes you happy?

When she unexpectedly cares for me.

Like how she indifferently gives me a towel when I’m sweaty, or how she covered my shoulders with something when I’m dozing on the sofa.
On the contrary, if there’s a woman whom I like, and she does them to me, or when it’s my lover who does them to me, I think I will be greatly happy!
But, it will be hard to find such a lover, right?




Q. If someone dates Junho, what previliege will she get?

The world’s thrill or speed, I will make her experience all the exciting things!


Q. What action from a woman that attracts you?

I think, tucking her hair behind her ear is a feminine act.
Just a half year ago, I was filming a movie so my hair was long, I often tuck my hair behind my ears. (laughs)


Q. What is a woman’s fashion that you find cute?

White t-shirt with jeans, I like a simple style.






Q. Junho’s usual fashion?

Although I liked modern and classic feel until quite recently, I don’t know why but it didn’t suit me anymore as I shortened my hair and changed its color.
Now, I like sport style—wearing loose t-shirt and pants, wearing parka, or backwards cap.




Q.Your female type in one word?

Because my personality is like fire, I maybe good with a woman whose personality is like water.
If there’s such a woman that can cool me down, I will think of her as a special person.
And, because I like motorbike, a woman who likes it as well. I think I will fall for a tough woman who can give me a ride.




Q. Something you currently falls for?

Because I want to do bungee jumping, I’m encouraging the members to do it as well by saying “Let’s do it, let’s do it.” But they say “I won’t do it, ever!”




Q. Something that made you emotional recently?

I always feel touched at the concerts, every time.
In Tokyo Dome, when I connected with everyone by heart, I was really emotional that it made me cry. I also cried together with the fans.




Q. Who is the person you set as your goal/target?

When you set another person as your goal, I think you’ll become similar to that person.
I’m living with a I can be the best! determination  instead.


Q. How were you when you were little?

A quick kid in doing everything. I was also fast in running, and I was like that whenever I went somewhere.
I was a kid who ate his meal only in 3 minutes after hearing my mother said “Go play after you eat!”
Also when I play with my friends, I didn’t bother to call them and directly come to their house to ask them “Let’s play!”
When I was little, I learned football, baseball, and swimming, I like them even until the extent of wanting to be like all the players! 



Q. Something that surprised you when you first came to Japan?


The delicateness in many ways.
Like when we went out to eat, the chopsticks ornament are all cute that I felt I wanted to have them as well.


Q. Japanese dish that you like and you don’t?

The one I like is ramen. Then one I don’t is tako wasabi!




Q. Your favorite Japanese word?

Daisuki! (I really like!)




Q. What’s the recent popular matter between the members?

Sending a “Fighting!” message in the chatting room only for the members.
“Fighting!” means “Work hard!” or “Have strength!”, we send those messages when any of us has a concert or is having any solo activities.




Q. A habit that you unconsciously do?

When I’m concentrating on doing something, I unconsciously pucker my lips, and (if you see it from the side) my lips become like “number 3” shape. I found it out for the first time when the fans said “Your lips look like Nobita’s from Doraemon when he pouts!” (laughs)




Q. Your favorite body part?

My long arms. That and the shape of my upper arms.
Although it’s not like I’m very muscular on those part, I like it because they don’t make me look thin due to some of their thickness.




Q. What do you do on your day off?

Composing songs! I like to play while making songs♪ The songs from this album came after I did that as well.







Your new mini album after a year is full with excited feeling in all of the tracks!



Junho is absolutely popular through his unique musical sense and a style that carried his own self-ness even amongst 2PM members.

Let’s hear from Junho himself about the summary his 2nd solo mini album “FEEL” which is released after a year.


While the first album was casual with fresh music,
this time’s “FEEL”, which leaves casualness and pure parts, is “a hyping matured music” combined with an inner depths.
It’s an active album where you can how matured I am than last year with more dynamism.




He revealed his confident of his matured self through those natural words.
He also changed his hair colour for this album, and he revealed slight of his maturity which hasn’t been shown until now. 




Fortunately, by experiencing my first solo tour in Japan last year, I have gained more responsibility so far, and I have learned lots of things.
How I on my own should fill that space of the stage that has no the other members, and how I should make my own music view in order to be enjoyed by the fans. I think I’m considering about lots of things, and have become stronger as a person.




He made use of the experiences from his solo activities for his latest work.
For reference, the point view of “FEEL” is, [After meeting you, my life has changed from the previous empty one!]
Is that based on matured Junho’s own love experience?




No, it’s not. (laughs) Rather than my own experience, it’s more of an indirect experience.
I got the inspiration either from watching movies or from my friends’ stories.
Just, when the word “FEEL” suddenly came into mind when I was in a car, an image like the dynamism of human’s emotion also appeared at the same time.
Whether about people, music, outfit, and others, there are cases where you say [I like this! It fits me!] when you face them for the first time, right?
I then started making the songs as I thought about making one song which is full with the excited feeling from that moment.


He made the songs in a session through what feels like playing with a composer whom he even personally knows well.


It was like that for the previous album as well, but because he said ‘Junho-yah, let’s try to sing’, and we started with me humming a line and then he played for me by attaching the chord to it,
it felt like we completed it by adding another melody and attaching the chord one after another.




Uniquely, the difficult part is, the rap part of “Turn It Up”.




The tempo is really fast. (laughs) Although it’s not a problem because I’m almost used to Japanese pronounciation, but it’s fast anyway... The recording was a bit difficult.
But, because it’s an album which I could face really enjoyfully, I wish everyone will also like it by any means!
  



After this, is fans’ long-awaited solo tour concert final in Budokan.

Seems like Junho’s summer will also be hot this year ♥
