Q. What do you like talking about the most?
I don’t care about what topic we talk about.

Q. What do you do these days to spend time?
I sleep most part of the morning. Then I watch Korean movies and dramas that I have missed.

Q. What was one you enjoyed watching?
<New World>. Hwang Jung Min hyung-nim’s acting skills are really, … I thought “He truly is an actor.” I think he is the best actor. I also enjoyed <War Against Crime: The Golden Age of the Bad Guys>.

Q. When people read interviews like this, some may think “is he returning as an actor?”
If I get a chance, I want to act again. I have tried it in past. I first entered SM Entertainment as a trainee to become an actor. But right now, most important thing to me is being a singer, so I don’t want to affect my singing career to act.

Q. We can’t skip over the topic of <SNL Korea> with Super Junior. Why did you not participate?
I myself felt against doing comedy. JangJin producer said I should participate in the live gag skits too, but I wasn’t ready for it. I thought, “How can I show myself laughing and smiling?”

Q. So you thought that you shouldn’t show any emotions?
I also thought I should never cry. While I was gone for 3 years, members worked very hard, and I was able to come back thanks to them. I felt that no matter how happy or sad I get, I shouldn’t laugh too loudly, or cry too much. When we received Golden Disk award in Jakarta, I was about to cry. I performed “Sorry Sorry” with members, but because of that incident, I was unable to go on awards ceremonies. It was my first one after a long time, so it felt very different. I still have regrets from then, so I still feel that my time has stopped in the “Sorry Sorry” promotion time.

Q. How was your condition after the incident?
I was ashamed of myself. I actually dislike going to places that makes me feel uncomfortable. I also dislike getting in uncomfortable situations. I am the type to live showing just who I really am, but (because of the incident), I was unable to do so, which made me frustrated. I also felt sad about my frustrations being revealed to others. I thought, “But I shouldn’t give up just because I now have bad image on people. I should just ‘live hard’.” Before then, I avoided meeting people. When friends called me to say “Let’s go drink some soju”, I rejected them. Later, my mind changed a bit, and I often visited the sticky rice sundae restaurant in front of our dorms.

Q. Why did you go on a diet? There’s Shindong too.
The biggest reason was the promise I had made with the members. I knew they truly were worrying about me, so I went on a diet.

Q. What was something that really didn’t help your diet?
There was nothing that didn’t help. During the 27 days of being on a diet, I did not walk out the house. It was hard, but it wasn’t as painful as I thought. Everyone tells me now, “Who are you?” (laugh)
