Q1 — What did you focus on with the 2nd mini-album "Love Never Dies", which contains 6 songs?

TH : The theme of this comeback is “school days”. For the new concept, everyone had black hair.

HWI : We could have created a work in the same direction as our previous 1st mini-album "WAY UP", but we were strongly conscious of evolving without stagnation. I thought that the easy-to-understand theme of “school days” would spread our color to more people.

KJ : Based on the concept of this work, I revamped my playlist with only songs that sang "youth". When thinking about the concept, the song "YOUTH" by Troye Sivan was the most fitting, so I listened to it over and over.

Q2— I heard that Fi participated in writing and producing almost all the songs for this album, what were you conscious of?

HWI : Since this is an album about teenage love, I chose the words for the lyrics as simply as possible. I think that the chorus part of "Love or Die" has lyrics that remind us of the exchange of messages between listeners of our generation. Most of the lyrics I wrote are about caring for someone, but I was often inspired by the ``words that have become my nourishment'' from fans.

TH : The words ``unojo'' and ``bunojo'' appear in the lyrics of ``Love or Die'', and they have the meaning of ``collapsed and buried''. It's a love song, but it depicts the experience of falling apart and being buried in self-love, family love, and various kinds of love. increase. Among the 6 songs, "Love or Die" expresses the concept of this work particularly well, and I myself feel that I was able to give a very good vocal performance .

KJ : “Love or Die” is close to the hip-hop songs that I usually listen to . I especially like it.

SJ : I especially like the song "I Need U". I had a lot of fun recording it, and I felt that the melody suited me. I was also touched by the lyrics that express the pain of youth so well.

HS : I also especially like 'DDA DDA DDA (Short Ver.)'. It's a song written and composed by Fi-kun, and it's the first song I did as a guide vocal. This MV was filmed in LA, USA. Because of that, I think the color, visuals, performance, and every other aspect of it is different from the previous work.

HWI : The 6th song "DDA DDA DDA (Short Ver.)" is a song I made when I was young, so I have a special attachment to it.

HWI : In between filming, I went to Venice Beach and Hollywood shopping malls with the members, but when I ordered a $20 drink, I gave a $15 tip (laughs) .

SJ : I wanted to tip as much as possible for the service, but since it was my first time to experience the tipping culture, I didn't know how much the market would be (laughs).

TH : Shooting in the colorful scenery of LA gave me the motivation to shoot in other countries.

Q3—Exactly one year has passed since your debut in May. What has changed the most in the past year?

TH : There have been many changes in my mindset, but the biggest one is that I have a stronger sense of responsibility. My affection for the fans who watch over me has become very strong, and I think that the feeling of "I have to protect my fans" has created a sense of responsibility.

KJ : There were times when I thought I didn't have enough stamina to dance, so I went to the gym and trained . I feel stronger than before.

HWI : I think I've also grown a lot, but I think the growth in the musical part is the biggest. In making "Love Never Dies", if I had been trapped in a big cage until then, I feel like I was able to break it all down and broaden my horizons.

Q4— There are many dance and vocal groups in Korea and Japan, but what do you see as TNX's strengths?

HWI : : I think it's great that there are so many groups because we can inspire each other. It can exist as a rival in a good way. Among them, TNX wants to try more and more things that make people think, "I've never seen such an expression before." In the process, I think it will become more and more refined and grow. My goal is to pursue music and performances that make people think, "I want to do something like TNX."

SJ : Just like HWI said, I want to send out TNX music that other groups don't have.

TH : I think our goal is to successfully reflect the sensibility of TNX in our songs.

KJ : In addition to that, I think the strength is that each member has a strong color

HS : Also, I like how the members are all good friends and have a happy atmosphere.

TH : Cute (laughs).

HS : (laughs). Since we are close in age, there are many things we can sympathize with, and I think we have a strong bond.

family , home 🥺🤍

TH : If I may add it, I would like to work hard to become more competitive from now on. Also, I want to win first place on music program charts.

SJ : During the audition before my debut, I think it's great that I was able to gain stage experience many times in front of people like PSY and JYPark, who are representatives of the agency. Also, the bond between the members is very strong because we survived among many cadets and made our debut like this.

HS : I want to create opportunities to meet many dance and vocal groups by going to various countries, including Japan, not just Korea .

HWI : I love Japanese food. I also like Korean food , but when I enter a Japanese restaurant, the unique aroma is irresistible

SJ : I like J-POP, and I often listen to Aimyon and Yuri's songs.

KJ : I like listening to Aimyon-san's "I want to tell you about my love" when I'm in the shower.

HWI : Hyunsu loves Japanese anime, right?

HS : Yes! I like "SPY×FAMILY" and "SHAMAN KING". I also watch the special effects "Kamen Rider" series.
