English translation of Vogue Korea Feb 2014 - More Than Flower - Part 3 Translated by LSG Australia into English from Chinese translation at: blog.yam/christina7/article/72158295 (all mistakes are entirely mine) Besides Kim Ja Ok and Yoon Yeo Jung, no one else [in the team] had personal relationships [beforehand]. Lee Seung Gi once said that Noonas Over Flowers was like travelling with two daughters of distant relatives whom I had only heard of, and two of my grandmothers friends. Seung Gi, who sang Noona Is My Woman a long time ago, silently accepted the fate he set for himself. A long-time member of 1N2D, he went through thick and thin with Na PD for extended periods. He, who very loyally decided to take part in the show, ran all over the place one day amidst the frosty, strong winds of Eastern Europe, getting himself all sweaty, for the sake of making the Noonas travels [more] comfortable. Seo Jin hyung said, It will be very tiring, Seung Gi ya. I feel it will be difficult for you than it was for me. At that time I should have known his words carried many meanings. I took it too lightly. The multi-purpose porter not only had to take on the roles of interpreter and guide, he also had to be driver, human navigator, chef and accountant. Lee Seo Jin, who carried these out with charisma, and newbie Lee Seung Gi have the same management company. Being the sole male during the travels and being busy running errands, he did not sleep in the same kind of room for more than 1 night. He roomed with Na PDs crew, even sleeping in the equipment room. One night I was sleeping in a room filled with equipment and later I had a nightmare; no matter how I tugged at the blanket, it couldnt be pulled up, I was scared stiff. When I woke up I found out that there was too many luggage, so the blanket was crushed underneath. Actually all this is no big problem to Seung Gi who has experienced outdoor sleeping in 1N2D. Like studying the wrong topics while studying for an exam, Lee Seung Gi only found out his own mistakes after the trip started. I should have put emphasis on the travel, but I only thought of the 1N2D sort of variety style. This role model, who has never encountered failure from his debut to present times, frankly admitted to his erronous judgement. Arent there students who do a lot of homework but still not get good results? Burning midnight oil to study, but their grades are only 30-40. I was in this kind of situation at that time. The fact that this 20+ year old strong and fit young man was not a reliable porter, but only a handsome baggage, was already exposed on the first day of the trip. Wandering everywhere to find a tram station, walking a thousand miles to find accommodation, once he left the path, he would disappear unseen, and he also did not understand the Noonas whom he sang about in his own song with the lyrics, After I get to know you, you are a delicate girl. The famous The Curse of the Top incident was when his distraction by a spinning yellow-coloured top led to his separation from the Noonas. The top? After I left Turkey, I forgot all the memories from that country. At that time it looked like the curse was leading me by the nose. Even the thought of the incident made him feel frightened, as he shook his head repeatedly. But because of this, he also started to learn how to travel. On the flight to Croatia, he noted down upcoming travel routes and expenses in his diary, and the diary that he regarded as a treasure never left his backpocket. Everyone has in fact experienced the feelings of unfamiliarity towards their travelling experiences. It was my first time personally reserving an accommodation, I didnt know if it would be to others liking, so I felt uneasy.
