twitter version: [ x ] | original statement (JP): [ x ]

hey guys, my first post on this blog! a quick translation of yuzuru’s statement from today on his difficult decision to withdraw from the upcoming GP series.

i’m still testing out formatting on this blog, so apologies if anything looks off.

Q: What were you like as a primary school student? JUN: Since I was small, I loved to read books, and even now I still read a wide range of things from novels to manga!

S.Coups: Ace from ONE PIECE. I’m attracted to characters on the bad side. Jeonghan: Zoro from ONE PIECE. Joshua: Either Saitama from One Punch Man or the main character of Shokugeki no Soma, Kohei Inno. Jun: Is who I want to cosplay okay? Gin from Hotarubi no Mori e. Hoshi: Saitama from One Punch Man. It’d be cool to hit with just one punch! Wonwoo: I’ve never thought about this (lol). However, because he is a character fighting for something good, I choose Luffy from ONE PIECE. Woozi: Either Luffy, Detective Conan or Keroro, whoever from my favourite anime. The8: It’s different from wanting to be, but I had a dream once about Doraemon. Mingyu: Doraemon. I wish I could use his “Doko demo Doa” (door to anywhere) whenever I wanted. Dokyeom: Luffy from ONE PIECE. Seungkwan: Because I like volleyball, I’d want to be Nishinoya from Haikyuu-!! Vernon: One Punch Man. He’s super cool. I also like Bouzu. Dino: The protagonist of Digimon’s Adventures. I also want to evolve Agumon.

eng translation of a handwritten message from Yuzuru, found at Yaesu Book Centre (八重洲ブックセンター) in downtown Tokyo:

Thank you greatly for so much support at Pyeongchang. Being uplifted by everyone’s support, yet another one of my dreams came true. I hope my words and experiences can become some sort of motivation/inspiration for others.

ーHanyu Yuzuru, 2018

S.Coups: Woozi. Even if we don’t talk much, we are siblings connected strongly in our hearts. Jeonghan: I want to make Dokyeom my brother! Joshua: I want Hoshi to be my older brother. Jun: I want Jeonghan to be my little brother, so we can play more and more (lol). Hoshi: Dino looks like my little brother (did Dino say “Hoshi is my little brother”?). Ahhh that guy, Dino~!! (lol) Wonwoo: Vernon. I feel like he is who I should look after the most. Woozi: If I had to choose only one, S.Coups. I have no siblings, and we have known each other for 8 years now, so he is like an older brother to me. The8: I want Vernon to be my friendly little brother. Mingyu: Seungkwan. Because he is the one I worry about the most. DK: Seungkwan is like my playful little brother. Seungkwan: I want Dino to become my older brother. Vernon: Everyone is my brother so I can’t choose! Dino: I want Hoshi to become my little brother.

HIP HOP TEAM about VOCAL TEAM

WONWOO - On stage, you can listen to their songs and your ears melt. But, usually they are a gang of mischievous people (lol).

VERNON - They really are the most mischievous people, you wouldn’t think so. But they really turn heads. Also, every team’s teamwork is pretty good, but don’t you think the vocal team’s teamwork is a little strange?

S.COUPS - Yeah. Among the three teams, the vocal team really seems like playmates, or something like a pair of lovers, they are really crazy about each other (lol). I feel like they have the best energy.

S.Coups: Mingyu. I just want to be taller. Jeonghan: I don’t want to change. If I had to say...... no one (lol). Joshua: I want to see what it’s like to be Woozi. Jun: Woozi. I’m interested in how he makes songs. Hoshi: No one. We all spend so much time together, so I don’t think anything would change if we switched places (lol). Wonwoo: Joshua-hyung. Even though I’m good at Korean, I’ve always wondered what its like to think about things in Korean and English. Woozi: Mingyu. I want to taste the clean air up high just once (lol). The8: It used to be Vernon, but now I’d say Woozi. With the talent of composing music, I’d like to try to make something fun. Mingyu: I want to sing with Dokyeom’s big voice! Dokyeom: I want to see what it’s like to be Mingyu. Mingyu is tall, and lately has been training a lot, so I want to see what its like to move with that kind of body. Seungkwan: I want to dance like Hoshi-hyung. Vernon: I want to become Dokyeom-hyung, to make everyone die from laughter like he does (lol). Dino: The8-hyung. He has a good sense of style and taste, and I want to know the feeling of wearing clothes like that.
