U-SIK INTERVIEW FOR DAZED

After the announcement of U-SIK quitting his soloist career, many fans wanted to know his reasons along many other questions they have always wanted to ask, and DAZED gave us the chance to send questions to their twitter with the hashtag #.DAZEDUSIK

Dated June 10th, Woosik had a personal interview in which he let us all invade his privacy, not censoring his answers.

Q: Fans from all over wanted to know your reasons for stop singing after two successful albums and songs, what do you have to say about this? A: I never expected to be a singer for so long, I think I got caught on the dream. I was willing to drop a few songs, not as a singer, just as a producer who somehow enjoyed to create his very own songs, but Sweet Life and Lucy got so much recognition and attention that I wondered “why not?” And I loved it. I really did. But I’m 28 now, I need to take care of myself, my health, have a stable life. I sadly couldn’t find myself at ease with my life projects and being singer- they contradicted themselves. So I decided I should quit. Afterall, helping others create their songs have always been my thing.

Q: So you’re going to be a producer from now on? A: Maybe, maybe not. I have yet to talk it out with MOUNT, I wish to be a vocal trainer, though. I want to help people find their voice and blossom it into the beautifulness it can get to be. Perhaps my job as a producer will be a sporadic thing- helping other producers, or idols. I don’t know yet, I can not answer this.

Q: Many fans have wondered whether you’re dating now, because you spoke in your SNS about being ready to “settle into something that fits your age”. Is love life projects related to this decision? A: Not at all, I’m completely single and so far I have nobody capturing my attention. I would never let love life get in the middle of something I have enjoyed so much during my life. As I said, it’s all about personal projects. All about maturing and moving on. Looking for new dreams, new things to do in life.

Q: Was it hard to create an album that you knew was going to be the last one? A: Very. It was a mixture of sadness with a bunch of happiness. I don’t know how to explain it, I’m just glad I was able to be loved and deliver my music to many people, yet I’m sad to be leaving- But proud of myself for letting go and moving on to new things. Q: Now random question are going to be asked. Favorite Food? A: Has always, and will always be, japchae and spicy kimchi soup. Spicy food are my favorite. Q: Type of girl you’d like to date? A: I like people with a bright personality, loud and funny. Since I’m quiet and a little boring, someone who’d make me smile and be talkative is what I need. That’s why I tend to go for younger girls, noonas are always more serious and I think a relationship of two serious people won’t be fun at all hahaha. Q: You have shared images of a cat with you, fans adore it. Mind telling us a little about your pet? A: Pochi? She’s my cute little cat. A friend found her and many of her siblings in a carton box and I decided I wanted to keep her. She’s very loud and loves to be around me. I adore her. Everyone should adore her, too.

The magazine also wrote “U-SIK is a very serious person but someone who likes to share his feelings without regret, we feel very grateful to share that time with him and get to know him a little more. We wish Woosik the best in his life from now on, and we would be glad to have him back the magazine with more of his awesome looks.”

No more than a couple of months went by, U-SIK has already confirmed a new comeback through his SNS, although this isn’t a full album as last one, he has expressed a lot of enthusiasm for the two new released songs on his new single album called Daydream .

A weeks ago, we were able to notice U-SIK’s new hair color and tattoo, such changes are usually made when preparing a comeback. Fans from all over where wondering whether the singer was going to delight us with more of his work, only to be confirmed by the male himself that there was going to be a comeback soon by posting “Am I ready for a comeback? Are you guys ready?” The day later, the company released an official statement that the soloist is going to hold a comeback this March 20th with a single album which is only going to contain two songs.

Can’t wait!

SOLOITS U-SIK HOLDS A STAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF SEOUL’S PARK

It was known, and waited for fans, that the soloist was going to hold a stage singing live all the songs from his new album ‘DownTown Love’. The concert began around 12pm and ended by 2pm with a small fan meeting in which fans who paid a small percentage more for their tickets were chosen by the singer itself randomly to come up on stage with him. Our bases confirm that almost 80% of the fans participated on to get chosen out of only 10 lucky people.

The first song to be sang was Downtown Love with a special guest: George, one of the people who helped Woosik create the song. Fans cheered for him as we all know him from U-SIK’s instagram updates.

The soloist took his time to talk in between songs and thank all his fans for coming, as well as apologizing for lacking on the goodbye stage due to his bad health and hurting ankle. He updated the fans saying his ankle was healthier than before and his flu has been healed. He surprised the songs by singing a cover of ‘One more light’ by Linkin Park after explaining this to be a song that he loves dearly.

The soloist also sang Erase on his own, getting the help of the fans as they sang Yumi’s part for her, he was excited and thankful to have such incredible fans.

The song was one of the last ones he sang. The male already seemed to be bearing with the pain on his ankle. Fans would continue to cheer him on despite of his clear pain after every song. He might or might not have spoiled everyone saying that he still has a lot work to do when fans asked him to have a vacation.

Last song to be sang was All Of You. The singer seemed to be sentimental while explaining this song was created by remembering his feelings from someone he knew way in the past, fans seemed to be proud instead of angry that our beloved U-SIK created a song thinking of someone.

Once the stage was over, the soloist would, once more, thank the fans and asked them to always look forward his job either alone or with other idols.

SOLOIST U-SIK ATTENDS PUMA’S EXHIBITION WITH A SPRAINED ANKLE

Regardless of the singer’s pain on his ankle, he showed up to Puma’s exhibition to promote the brand and the newly recorded CF. Sources said he hurt his ankle while in the photoshoot while falling on the ground wrongly after he jumped.

U-sik was seen attending an hospital three days ago and walking out of it with crutches to hold himself, the next day he danced on his Goodbye stage for Erase with Yumi, in which we all saw his great pain.

We wish Woosik a soon recover from both his ankle and sickness that he let us all know through his SNS.

[ GOODBYE STAGE] U-SIK x YUMI - ERASE

Today’s performance was the third one without PSYCHO’s Verve due to the rapper’s solo debut. 

Fans were curious about U-SIK’s performance today, his voice was barely heard and out of tune, many fans have commented to see how the soloist struggled and looked at his ankle painfully. We hope our beloved Woosik takes a time off, since we hate to see him suffer like this.

Regardless of the male’s events, Yumi did a great job. It is even said she helped U-SIK walk out the stage once they were done.

Before the two left the stage, Yumi thanked the fans for the unconditional love and support the two have received, she even spoiled they might have a secret song that will soon be released. On the other hand, U-SIK apologized for his bad performance, fans cheered him on as he explained to be incredibly sick and with a sprained ankle.

We’ll link more stages for everyone to remember this great work:

[ MV ] ERASE WITH YUMI FT. VERVE

U-SIK’s first full album came along with a new MV featuring MNT record’s music producer Yumi, who also helped in the making of the song, along U-SIK’s known friend Verve from PSYCHO.

Yumi and U-SIK are known for dating in the past, hence many contradictory comments from Netizens have been posted in regards of the situation, nevertheless, many positive comments were made as well, not to leave aside the soloist’s many rumors and news, making this to be one of the most awaited videos during the week.

While contradictory comments were made because of the former relationship, VERVE and U-SIK are known for their many featurings and continuos pictures uploaded together to their accounts. Fans were excited and happy to see their friendship is still the same regardless or their tight schedules.

[+254 -120] I’ve been waiting so long for this? U-SIK should start thinking of what young fans like more than keep on having such songs for old people.

[+156 -48] Woosik could sing to me while I’m suffering and all the pain would be away. So soothing, so nice.

Only a week from the release of U-SIK’s upcoming album, the official date has finally been released. The 25th of this month, the soloist’s very first full album will come to light. The main track is to be called Erase and it will be featuring MOUNT records’ producer Han Yumi, also known to be the singer’s former girlfriend.

This upcoming album is supposed to have a number of 7 songs, U-SIK himself has made a post commenting about how hard everyone has worked for this, and how long it has taken to get to this point.
