Q What’s your essential item at live performance?
Water! I drink 4 or 5 plastic bottles of water at live, and 4 more bottles after live. I used to wear rings on stage, but these days I don’t like it. Maybe because I became old? (laugh). In the past, I hoped to make my fingers on guitar look cool. But I sweat a lot in playing, so lately I rarely wear them.
Q What’s the first CD that you bought?
Back Street Boys’ CD. Maybe around 2nd year in elementary school?
Q What’s the first live concert that you attended?
The first concert that I attended was Yim JaeBum’s concert that I went with my friends, in junior high school. I remember that I managed to get the ticket since there were not many concerts held in Busan. Since I was a big fan of him, I was so moved to watch him in the flesh.
Q What’s the first instrument that you tried?
I started learning piano at 6, and kept it till I was in 2nd year in junior high. That helps my band activity in the musical aspect. I got a good ear for music thanks to learning piano for a long time. It’s like, I can catch the sound when I play.
Q Didn’t you get tired of piano as a boy?
Not at all. I had a lot of fun. Once I started music, I would concentrate on it and keep playing piano all night. There are not so many differences between that time and now, in that I love music.
Q Tell us your musical roots
Bon Jovi! The first time I watched his live performance, I got shocked. The performance, songs, his voice, all of them were very cool. Until that time, I didn’t have many chances to listen to western music. I watched it for my first time on MTV western music channel. Also, my big (cousin) brother used to be a western music fan, so I listened to it with his iPod. The person who made me want to do band is Bon Jovi, too. I definitely can say that my music roots = Bon Jovi.

Q What’s your essential item for live performance?
A metronome. If there’s no metronome, it’s dangerous (laugh). The sound would be good. And then, special shoes for playing drum. The sole part is harder and not as slippery as common shoes. But that doesn’t mean all drummers must wear it, but to me, I feel more comfortable wearing it while performing. Q What’s the first CD that you bought?
I think it was Maroon 5 CD that I bought when I was in middle school. Because I was influenced by my sister, I listened to many CD that my sister bought such as NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Westlife etc. As for Korean singer, I really like Shin Si Kyung and Seo Taeji. I even had all Shin Si Kyung albums. I really liked ballad songs back then.
Q What’s the first live concert that you attended?
I really like to see live stage. Since I was a kid, I watched many performances like musical, but I forgot what was the first one I watched.
Then, which was the live stage that impressed you?
L’Arc~en~Ciel performance in Korea back in 2009. I’ve watched ballad and pop rock live stage before, but nothing like Laruku did.
Q What’s the first instrument that you tried?
Piano. I learned piano since I was in elementary school, from 1st grade until 5th grade. But I got tired of it (laugh). So, I learned flute since elementary school 5th grade until middle school. The first time I learned drum was when I was in middle school because of my friend who had a band.
Q Tell us your musical roots
By watching my middle school friend’s band performance, they were not only singing. I think singing while playing instrument is cool. It became my turning point, from classical music to band. At that time, I realized Maroon 5’s existence.

Q What’s the first instrumental that you tried?
Piano. In early elementary school years, I learned piano for one or two years. But I forgot all and I can’t play at all (laugh). I met bass in junior high, and officially started playing in senior high. Now I’m in a band and I’m glad to have chosen bass.

Q Tell us your musical roots
Mr.Big. In elementary school, I had a friend who was a big fan of Mr.Big and let me watch their live DVD. At the moment I watched it, I got totally hooked on. Though I had listened to other bands or hard rock before that, I didn’t see band music the best. However, Mr.Big’s music was too shocking for me to compare, and they opened my eyes to band music. That’s why they are my roots!
