[INTERVIEW] WINNER’s Lee Seunghoon’s Interview with ‘The STAR There is a prejudice that singers who originate from audition programs have limited opportunities. There is a man who perfectly crushed that stereotype. He is Lee Seunghoon, who wholly experienced popularity due to this groundbreaking performances on SBS “K-Pop Star”. It was widely preconceived that the greatly talented man to settle in YG. In the middle of WINNER’s best year, The Star met with Lee Seunghoon on the set of the photoshoot for the December issue. *From “K-Pop Star: Season 1” to WINNER, you are always in the center of performances. When are you most proud of yourself and when are you most tired? *Hoon: For me, I work the hardest and things turn out the best only after the knife is at my throat. I get pressured often. I get really happy when people ask me to what extent will I go for something and when the results are really good. When I’m having a difficult time, I prepare many things that are external to music but I get sad when people who know, recognize that but people who don’t know, stay unaware. It’s not that I am sad because I don’t get something out of it, I get sad when it’s not recognized. *What inspires your original ideas for performances? *Hoon: I get inspired from many different videos but I think things I felt and experienced when I was young comes out. Before we debuted, we prepared our album and traveled overseas often. We’ve performed on opening stages and we’ve been guests at concerts and we learned about the cultures of each country. My motto is, “There is no such thing as useless experiences”. I start thinking of trivial experiences. I like to experience and enjoy things. *Not too long ago, you fell from the stage and got injured. Are you alright? *Hoon: During the Galaxy stage event, it was really noisy and Tukutz was rapping while coming close to me and I was walking backwards and fell off the stage backwards. Compared to the fall, I did not get injured that badly. We went to Singapore soon afterwards and people told me I was a very lucky boy. They said it was a relief that I didn’t fall head first. *During “K-Pop Star”, PSY told you, “If you don’t become a singer, you’ll still be something great!” If you weren’t a singer, what would you be? *Hoon: I think I might’ve pursued a business in fashion. Perhaps start from clothing but include perfumes. I think my current occupation will benefit me in the future. Because everyone claps at anything that has a brand name label. If not, I might be in a dance team. *You have quite a number of ahjumma fans. Is it possible for you to date older women? *Hoon: It is possible. The age difference I have with my eldest sister is 7 years so those kinds of things don’t burden me. I wouldn’t mind dating a woman 12 years older than me. Even dating a 35 year old woman is possible for me. However, I wouldn’t be able to date a 35 year old woman without having marriage in mind. A woman past her forties is alright as well. In turn, she can’t look the part. That’s how much age doesn’t bother me, for me, how the person thinks is important. cr.YG united
