don't you have a rather young fan? do you ever feel pressured having a super fan who's so much younger?
“i do,” he nods, his expression lightening considerably, “his name is hyunjoon. he came to our fan signing, which is how i met him the first time. he starts high school soon.”
he pauses, hearing himself speak, collects his smile, his pride, as if this fan he’s met once or twice is his own little brother that he grew up with all his life.
“it does…increase the pressure, but…it isn’t a burden. i think maybe because you know from the beginning that, when you train, you’re training to become someone. people look up to you when you’re someone.i am sorry to him, because i’m not better than i am. i think it’s important we do feel pressured, otherwise there’d be no reason to get better and be better and work harder….for me, if people like hyunjoon are looking up to me, it’s important that i work hard to become someone worth looking up to.”
