[TRANS] [Visual Guide ②] "It’s Interesting, TMI"…Stray Kids Hyunjin·Seungmin·I.N Investigation
Spinoff of the ‘Aiding Becoming a Fan Guide’, ‘Visual Guide’ has come. Become fans while admiring the visuals X Sports News has ‘pick’ed together, and then become fans again! Together with Stray Kids’ handsome and cute UniformZ Hyunjin, Seungmin, and I.N.
With Hyunjin and Seungmin, for which this year is the last of uniforms, and I.N we looked into their school life.
How do, not Stray Kids, but ‘students’ Hyunjin, Seungmin, Jeongin (I.N) spend their time? To them who are currently enrolled in SOPA and Cheongdam High School, we asked what their favorite class, favorite school lunch, and everything about their school life.
Hyunjin waved his hands at the nickname ‘SOPA’s Prince’, and Busan boy I.N imitated the sound of the boat horns heard from the Busan Port in the middle of talking about his school days, we had fun sharing stories about school.
Q. You must have had a lot of popularity when attending school?
I.N - During elementary school I was on the chubby side, so there wasn’t any of that, and in middle school I attended an all-boys middle school. The school I’m attending now has a lot of celebrities (laugh).
Hyunjin - There’s a lot of top stars. We have no presence….(laugh)
Q. Hyunjin has the nickname, ‘SOPA Prince’?
I.N - (I.N started smiling) He is a prince!
Hyunjin - Ah, this really has to be clarified. The kids in my class ask me, ‘why are you a prince’. I’ve never been called that! (As I.N keeps saying it’s right) I think the kids in I.N’s class use that nickname. In my grade the kids don’t say it. I don’t think I’m SOPA’s Prince. Please write this!
Q. How was it for Seungmin?
Seungmin - I’m just attending the same school as I did before debut so…..Back then I went around with friends and ate and played. After debuting I just eat and am in class, I never go outside and only talk with my friends in my class (laughs). There’s not a lot of opportunity to talk with my friends in my class. These days I ask what they’re doing, what kids these days do. I learned what the slang ‘Inssa-term’ was (insider terms). I thought ‘awkward silence’ was the latest trend-word but it already passed….Stray Kids is slow. (Seungmin has this ‘young master’ kind of feel.) If fans see me that way, I am very thankful.
Q. Did you have anything like on OO Day I received a confession, or anything?
I.N - I’ve never had that….(laugh) In middle school I did receive a hand-written letter from someone at a different school!
Hyunjin - For me too, school juniors would just….
Seungmin - I’ve received exactly one letter from a junior. I remember it because it happened just once (laugh).
Hyunjin - Ah, I liked art class more. (I.N also related with art class) If guys are gathered together they never draw but in the middle of them I was alone sucked into art. (Are you the “Midas hand” in Stray Kids?) The members….
I.N - The members give off the feeling of drawing with their feet.
Seungmin - I liked our Chinese Classics class. (Everyone at the interview site was amazed) The Chinese Classics teacher told us a lot of fun stories (laughs). Life stories, marriage stories, those kinds of things? If the class was 50 minutes long the teacher told about 35 minutes of TMI (laughs). So it felt like studying went better too.
Q. If you had to divide between liberal arts and natural sciences, where do you think you would go?
Hyunjin - I worked really hard in math for a really long time. In middle school I did a lot of prerequisite learning. I really worked hard in math. The cram school I went to was a really hard place. I worked hard in math but now I don’t know anything. Besides multiplication table I don’t know anything….. Then I tried hard in math and even thought about going to natural sciences. (Hyunjin circled and said that as he did not like science he would have ended up going to liberal arts)
Seungmin, I.N - Liberal arts!
Seungmin - I think in the end I would have gone to liberal arts as well. I am on the liberal arts side since birth. I think I receive better scores in English and Korean than in Math or Sciences. I also have a lot of interest in writing, and because I wanted to write better I also researched into it more.
Jeongin - I did bad in math. (How was science?) Stars and space…. I really liked Earth sciences!
Q. Favorite school cafeteria meal?
I.N - The school cafeteria food at the middle school I went to was really yummy. It tasted really good. It is a school that is pretty well known for having tasty school lunch. When they had Banquet noodles and chicken wings it was really good.
Hyunjin - It’s spaghetti!
I.N - They had spaghetti with garlic baguettes.
Seungmin - Pizza is good, and I also liked when they had pork belly. And when they simply had Pork Rib Hangover Soup. In high school the school lunch suddenly started tasting good.
Q. Is there something you want to do when you turn twenty?
Seungmin - I want to keep being a student. I don’t want to become an adult (laughs). If I have to pick something I want to do then making phone micropayments. For me, I have to do it with my mom. My mom has to do it. I want to try doing it. And of course I’d have to cumbersomely send gifticons to the members.
Hyunjin - For me, after becoming an adult I think I’ll be living the same life. I made a micropaymen card but there’s nothing to do (laughs). Ah, I want to party with the members.
I.N - I can only use phone message emoticons that I’ve been gifted. So I want to buy a lot of emoticons. I’m going to buy a lot. (To Visual Guide ③)
