[TRANS] 140902 Chanyeol for ELLE MEN Magazine Hong Kong: “Once started, continue until the end” Elle:When I saw you just now during the shoot, you look very prepared. Do you practice all the time? Chanyeol: As compared to looking at the mirror to practice, experience is more important. Because of the frequent photoshoots, I know very well how attire can affect pose selection. Also, with the two photographers giving tips, I can understand the concept even better. Elle: Which angle do you think you look the best from? Chanyeol: I think its the right side (smile) Elle: There are two sides of any opinion, but there are many positive accounts about you, what do you think is the reason? C: If you put it like that, I will feel embarrassed (showing signs of shyness). Joining variety programmes or activities frequently, I can show natural reactions, some of which are cheerful, some are that of taking care of others, maybe everyone saw those so they have these positive feelings towards about me. Elle: Then, have you heard any criticism from anyone about youself? Chanyeol: Yes, of course… for example, when shooting a reality show, when I think something is funny but the audience might think [you are too much!], I see these sorts of criticism online. Because my friends and I always joke around I tend not to think that much about how others may react. Since then I have been cautious. Elle:Besides anonymous comments online, have the people around you critise you? Chanyeol: People around me? Then no (laughs) Elle: Your character has always been straighforward, taking good care of people, everyday being so happy, do you not get angry when you see something you dislike? Chanyeol: I am the type to always be outgoing in doing things. If I am not outgoing, I will feel very unhappy. My character is very cheerful, so I am not bothered by small things. Elle: At what point can you no longer contain your anger any longer? Chanyeol: I do not like rude and inhuman acts. Looking at such things makes me angry. But I will not lose control of my angry, I will only quietly tell them that what they’re doing is wrong. In my memory, I have never been outwardly angry. Elle: This is really unlike the character of a Sagitarrius1, can people often not tell? Chanyeol: Is it really hard to tell? Hahaha, actually, I am already used to it (Cute expression) Elle: I see that you are always secrety writing songs, what kind of songs do you like to listen to? What is your creative experience? Chanyeol: In terms of composing, I have a lot to say. I like composing songs for other people; I mostly compose at home with a computer, or I use a guitar or piano. Once I’m done, I let the members listen; I really like doing it like this. Elle: Currently, what is your general composing style? Chanyeol: I like to listen to many different types of music; composition is the same. But the type of music I compose the most is Jazz-Pop, around 70% of my songs are Jazz-Pop. Elle: Until now, your performances have always been created for you, other than those, what else do you want to do? Chanyeol: The things I like to do, I am already doing. For example, attending variety shows, filming movies…. the thing I want to do the most now is composing, and then having my composition added to EXO’s own albums. Elle: Are you willing to take on other challenges as well? Chanyeol: I really like trying out fresh and new things; whatever I can do, I want to do. Elle: Then, you are only interested in new things? Chanyeol: My work ethic is “If I started it, I must do it until the end,” or else, I will feel very inadequate and uncomfortable. For example, when I was small and learning instuments, if I started, then I needed to play until someone told me I played well, this is my personality, I need to do it until the end. Elle: To be honest, just from looking at you I would not have guessed that you had these opinions. Chanyeol: Really? I hear that a lot. Chanyeol: Have you ever experienced: When you are super concentrated in something, there are people who don’t agree with your actions? Chanyeol: People who don’t really understand me; who aren’t really acquainted with me, they mostly all think like this at first. Because I am always smiling, always very outgoing, other people will think “Wow, he is a very playful and facetious child.” But once they undrestand me, they will know that I’m a person with a lot of depth and opinions. Trust that once you get to know me, you will be able to experience all of this. Elle: Can you tell us about your childhood? Chanyeol: Since I was very young, I have recieved the love of my mother and father. My parents are also really outgoing, active people, so since I was young, I would watch and learn from them. Therefore, I also grew up very sociably and actively. Elle: So, the feeling you give to people is very bright, but it is not the type that is faked! Chanyeol: Yes, of course it’s not faked! (Coquettish) Elle: We have to thank your parents. Chanyeol: Yes, I am truly grateful to them. Elle: What is your favorite moot in life? Chanyeol: Enjoy it! Elle: What do you think is your biggest hardship right now? Chanyeol: (Thinks for a long time) I don’t really have big hardships! Usually, I also don’t have any hardships. Elle: Maybe if you grow up a little more you will have some? (Laughs) Chanyeol: Hahaha, yes, we can only blame my young age. Elle: Please state 3 good points about yourself. Your legs are long? Chanyeol: Long legs ranks third, hahaha! Number one is probably my smile, number two is my affection, number three….. I think I can probably name 10 good personalty traits, haha. Elle: Lastly, please say something for ELLE MEN one year anniversary! Chanyeol: Congratulations to ELLE MEN for its one year anniversary! Please love ELLE MEN lots, and also love EXO a lot too! To be able to celebrate ELLE MEN’s one year anniversary, I feel very very blessed, and I hope that everyone likes EXO’s appareance. In the future, we will show everyone a better side of EXO, jiayou (fighting)!! cr: elle magazine | trans: dailyexo
