#nct 2016

How does it feel to have your first official mini album out?

Kangwoo: It actually doesn’t feel like anything. It’s not really going to be promoted, and we know that, but we worked really hard on this album believe it or not.

Justin: I’m just happy we will be able to officially debut next month, I’m really excited to show everyone who I truly am and be able to prove to everyone that NCT Ice isn’t a unit to be messed with.

Haru: I’m just happy, I didn’t think we do so much predebut stuff, but I’m kind of happy we did because now people are excited for our debut. I promise we won’t disappoint you!

Are you guys going to be a rotational or stationary group for NCT?

Kangwoo: Pretty sure our company plans to keep us stationary, but we don’t really know.

What debuted unit would you like to be a part of if you were allowed to join a unit outside of NCT Ice?

Kangwoo: Honestly? I don’t think I want to be apart of another subunit. The members of Ice are my family and it doesn’t matter what unit I’m in I don’t think I would be as close to them like I am then. | He then hugs his members as they all “awe” at him.

Justin: Maybe NCT Dream, I’m really close with a lot of the Dreamies.

Haru: I guess NCT U, their debut was really strong and a comeback with them would be really cool. I really like Ten hyung.

DeeD: I actually agree with our leader, I don’t think I would want to be in another unit. This one is my favorite.

Which debut song was your favorite for NCT units so far?

Kangwoo and DeeD: NCT 127.

Kangwoo: Haechannie was really cool in it and plus I helped out with the demo of the song so I could be a bit biased.

Justin: Chewing Gum has been stuck in my head since it came out so I have to give my vote to NCT Dream’s debut.

Haru: Like I said, I really like Ten hyung and NCT U’s song was really cool so my vote is for the first unit NCT U!

If you could collab with anyone who would it be and why?

Kangwoo: Is this outside of our company? | The interviewer nods their head | Then I would love to work with Jackson Wang or Zico! They are two artists I look up to a lot.

DeeD: Luna noona because she has vocals of Godess.

Haru: IU! Her vocals are so amazing and I feel like our voices would suit each other really well.

Justin: Suga hyung. He is one of the reasons I even wanted to be an idol and he’s one of my best friends. I think we could make something so beautiful it would shock the entire world.

Who is your role model?

Kangwoo: My father and BTS’s Suga are my role models. | he seems to be shy when he says that causing Justin to shove him lightly

Justin: Honestly, I think it would either be EXO’s Xiumin or my mom. They’ve both helped me through a lot.

Haru: Jonghyun. He’s helped me through some dark times and he’s just a big musical inspiration for me. I’m glad I can call him my hyung.

DeeD: My family. | he smiles as he fiddles his necklace around, it’s a locket fans assume there’s a family photo in it

Who is your biggest musical inspiration?

Kangwoo: I think collectively as a unit we really look up to BTOB and EXO though personally, we might have different musical inspirations.

Justin: I could agree with that.

Who is your best friend in NCT? You can answer inside and outside of the unit if you wish.

Kangwoo: I would probably answer with Taeyong and Taeil.

Haru: Haechan and Mark! They were the first trainees I met when I joined SM. Also Justin. He’s my little buddy. I love you, Justin! | Haru hugs Justin.

Justin: I’m uh... really awkward... so probably Haru as I don’t want to mess up my words when speaking to the rest of them. 

DeeD: Doyoung and Taeyong have got to be the members I’m closest to. They’re always there for me.

When did you realize you were finally going to debut?

Kangwoo: Not until we released this mini-album called Danger. Honestly, I thought I wouldn’t debut under SM Entertainment and that I wasted my time but they proved me wrong.

Justin: I don’t even feel like it’s actually happening even though everything is confirmed and ready. I hope I don’t mess anything up.

Haru: This is so unreal to me. I never thought I would actually debut with only a year of training.

What group would you like to get closer to?

Kangwoo: Definitely B.A.P! Their music is so amazing and I’m so excited to maybe be able to meet them, but if we talk about inside SM then probably SHINee since out of all of them I’m not too close to the members of SHINee.

Justin: Ummm... iKON? | Justin smiles nervously as he answers

Haru: GOT7 for sure. They are so crazy and fun, I just want to be their friend.

DeeD: f(x)!

NCT MARK LEE ✨
