[FULL] 120410 EXO-M Sina Interview 3/5 (Eng)


  • LU HAN: Not really, because in the beginning our Korean weren't really good, so learn more Korean, communicate in Korean, can help us.
  • MC: So you three formed a little family, did you have separate jobs for each person?
  • LU HAN: Not really separate jobs, just after training, go back to the dorm, and sleep, then wake up.
  • MC: Someone has to wake you up. Was that Leader's job?
  • LU HAN: We had alarm clocks.
  • KRIS: The youngest (out of us three), usually would.
  • XIU MIN: I woke up the earliest.
  • MC: Then who was the laziest, who didn't want to wake up?
  • XIU MIN: Kris.
  • MC: So Kris you never want to wake up.
  • KRIS: Me? Okay, just a a bit.
  • MC: Out of you three, who would be special, like weird habbits, like grinding your teeth?
  • KRIS: He has something to say.
  • LAY: Like Lu Han, he doesn't like other people on his bed, you get one his bed you'll kick you off.
  • MC: So he is very keen on cleanliness.
  • LAY: Right.
  • MC: Then Lu Han, can you tell us about Lay's weird habbits? He says you are extremely picky on cleanliness.
  • LU HAN: Lay, doesn't really have anything to expose.
  • MC: What about Kris, since you're in the same room.
  • LU HAN: Kris speaks in his dream, but his speciality is dream-speaking in three languages, sometimes I don't understand, in English, Koreand Chinese.
  • MC: In Cantonese?
  • KRIS: Sometimes I don't know my languages, gets a bit mixed up. I'll introduce myself in Cantonese.
  • (Kris in Cantonese: "Hello everyone, I'm Kris from EXO-M".)
  • MC: You didn't say anything extra other than "hello everyone".
  • KRIS: I'll say more when I next have the chance.
  • MC: Anyone want to expose anything on Chen and Tao? Tao, are you going to confess yourself?
  • Tao: I don't have any weird habbits.
  • MC: Lu Han, I think you should expose them, offending one person is offending, offending two people is still offending.
  • LU HAN: I'm not really sure.
  • MC: I think we need to ask the manager for that. So through that conversion, there should be a lot of fun things in their dorm life. I heard from another group's boy member that they share underwears? Does such event exist in EXO-M's dorm? Maybe you can't distinguish them, just take one and go?
  • LU HAN: We don't do that.
  • LAY: But it happens with socks.
  • KRIS: Yes, socks.
  • MC: So you guys wait until they are dirty then wash them? Because I know boys that saves them then wash them together.
  • KRIS: We wash our socks everyday, because we train a lot, and sweating everyday, so we wash them everyday.
  • TAO: By ourselves.
  • MC: Have you woren someone else's socks?
  • LAY: Because there are a lot of socks, and they're all white, so we just take it and wear it, don't know which pair belongs to who.
  • MC: Then who likes to each junk food?
  • LU HAN: Lay loves junk food, he specialises in eating.
  • MC: What type of junk food do you like?
  • LAY: Sweets, savoury, anything that tastes good.
  • MC: But you are still skinny. Just then said Tao is the maknae, I heard that in Korean groups the maknae has to do all the work, like washing dishes, is it like that Tao?
  • TAO: Maybe in Korea some groups are like that, but we take care of our own things, so each time we finish eating we'll clean our own dishes, a good habit.
  • MC: Does your hyungs take care of you?
  • TAO: Yes.
  • MC: For example?
  • TAO: Leader. When I first came my Korean wasn't very good, I didn't understand anything, it was always Leader that helped me, taught me a lot of things. Leader treats me very well, and other members treat me very well.
  • [My inner Taoris fangirl exploded when he said that >///<]
  • MC: Kris, as the leader, you take on many responsibilities, and has to look after other members. Did you encounter any difficulties, or maybe challenging problems?
  • KRIS: Because of the unique structure of our group, Chinese members often mix with Korean members, a mix style of team. We went through a stage of language integration, but actually after a long time, we have great relationships now. We are all like brothers, so I'm just actually fulfilling my responsibilities, because the company gave me this role, so I should take care of this team, making sure everyone is okay, and getting better.
  • MC: To let everyone learn more about EXO-M, I'm gonna do a little game. I'll ask and they'll point, just point. For example, if Kris is the answer to this question, then point at him, okay? First question, who always acts cute?
  • FANS AND EXO-M: Lu Han.
  • MC: Why? How do you sell your cuteness Lu Han?
  • FANS: Naturally cute, naturally fluffy.
  • [The originally word is "呆", which means slow-witted, blank. I changed it to fluffy because I think it's more fitting.]
  • MC: Really? Then what is his signature cute pose?
  • LU HAN: I don't even know.
  • MC: Then who has the most ageoyo?
  • FANS: TAO.
  • MC: So it's not Lu Han anymore? How do you do ageoyo Tao?
  • TAO: Me?
  • MC: For example, if you want Lu Han or Kris to accompany you to a movie, and they're not too willing, how would you use ageoyo to convince them?
  • TAO: I'll say, Leader, please come with me, I beg you.
  • [He said it in the cutest way possible~ Notice how Tao completely ignored Lu Han and picked Kris. TAORIS MOMENT OMG.]
  • MC: Would he actually do that in real life?
  • KRIS: Sometimes.
  • MC: Does it work? What effects does it have?
  • KRIS: Pretty effective, to me, because he is my little brother, no other choice, just go with him.
  • [TAORIS MOMENTS EVERYHWERE KILL ME.]
  • MC: But Lay is shaking his head, you don't agree.
  • LAY: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
  • MC: When doesn't it work?
  • LAY: When his ageoyo is a bad one.
  • MC: So he has times when his ageoyo is bad.
  • LAY: I think he looks the best when he does that "buling buling".
  • MC: Come on do it.
  • (Tao: "buling buling")
  • MC: When will he do that?
  • LAY: When he really wants to go.
  • MC: Who's the most ridiculous?
  • EXO-M: Xiu Min.
  • MC: He doesn't believe it, why does everyone choose you?
  • XIU MIN: I don't even know.
  • MC: Lu Han, why are you first to point at him?
  • LU HAN: Because privately we have a pretty good relationship, sometimes his actions are really cute, and makes everyone laugh.
  • MC: What's his signature move? Xiu Min?
  • XIU MIN: What?
  • LAY: Yeah, like shaking his head in a cute way.
  • MC: Can you show us?
  • (Xiu Min demonstrates)
  • MC: In the group, who is the most popular amongst girls?
  • EXO-M AND FANS: Kris and Lu Han.

  • MC: The school teacher Ms Bai is jealous, saying that Lu Han is more famous than her. She also mentioned that Lu Han had a dream, do you remember what dream that it was?
  • LU HAN: Back then I wanted to be a singer, because I really wanted to sing.
  • MC: But which year did you go to Korea, and how did you enter SM Entertainment?
  • LU HAN: Actually I studied abroad in Korea, I arrived in 08 in Korea, learning Korean, never actually had the chance to come into contact with people from the entertainment industry, so I was pretty disappointed. However, once I was walking with my friend on the street and I was discovered by SM.
  • MC: By talent scout? Did the other five members get into SM like this? KRIS? Is this common?
  • KRIS: It's not all the same. I studied in Vancouver, so I was elected there through the SM Global audition. This was 07.
  • LAY: I was picked in Wuhan in 08.
  • XIU MIN: There was a singing competition in 08, I won, and got into SM.
  • CHEN: I came first in a singing competition in 2011, and was chosen by SM.
  • TAO: I was elected through the competition in Qingtao in 2011.
  • MC: There are a lot of talented seniors in SM, like Super Junior, TVXQ, famous groups. Did any of them give EXO-M members any kind of support or help?
  • LAY: I was worked with SHINee, and they gave me a lot of help. Later on they knew I was debuting, and gave me a lot of attention.
  • [Note, I went with SHINee because I heard SHINee, but the transcript said "Suuy" and used single person pronouns]
  • MC: Does each member have a senior member that they see as a target?
  • KRIS: Everyone is all very great, and gave us a lot of help.
  • LAY: They are all targets.
  • KRIS: They are all targets to work towards, hopefully one day we can stand on stage together with our seniors and perform.
  • MC: And we look forward to that.
    • MC: I heard that in our group each member carries a different role, correct? What are each member's role?
    • KRIS: Who wants to start? Me again? I'm the leader, and responsible for rapping.
    • MC: Rap for us live?
    • KRIS: Live ah, I didn't prepare.
    • MC: Just a few lines.
    • KRIS: How about English lines? Tao, help me. Okay, I'll do it.
    • MC: You mentioned Tao just then, Tao's what is your role?
    • TAO: I'm also the rapper, and responsible for martial arts.
    • MC: Okay then please wait.
    • (Kris raps English lines from Two Moons)
    • MC: That was great. Lay, what's your role?
    • LAY: I'm responsible for dancing.
    • MC: Oh, we already saw him dancing just then. Lu Han?
    • LU HAN: I'm responsible for singing and dancing.
    • MC: Then sing a few lines?
    • LU HAN: I'll sing with Chen.
    • (Lu Han and Chen sings chorus of Baby Don't Cry)
    • LU HAN: Thank you.
    • MC: What about Xiu Min?
    • XIU MIN: I'm meaning responsible for singing, dancing, and yelling.
    • MC: I heard you like JJ Lin Jun Jie's songs.
    • XIU MIN: Yes.
    • MC: How about you perform that for us?
    • (Xiu Min sings Back to Back Embrace by JJ Lin Jun Jie)
    • MC: What about Tao?
    • FANS: There's Chen.
    • MC: Right there's Chen. But Chen already sang just then.
    • FANS: No.
    • MC: No. Then you have to continue.
    • CHEN: I'm the lead singer.
    • (Chen sings live)
    • MC: And our Tao.
    • TAO: Should I sing or dance?
    • MC: Dance, or martial arts.
    • FANS: Waist injury.
    • MC: Since you're injured, then you shouldn't dance. How's your waist?
    • TAO: A lot better, than you.
    • MC: Then you'll rap?
    • TAO: I'll rap my part in Leader's song.
    • (Tao raps Chinese lines from Two Moons)
    • MC: Which one hasn't performed at all?
    • FANS: Lay.
    • MC: Lay, they said you didn't perform anything.
    • TAO: Dance a bit.
    • MC: Lay looks we're forcing him.
      • MC: Thank you, thanks to our six adorable boys of EXO-M, bringing to us spectacular performances. Now that we're here, everyone really care about who lives with who in Korea. Who are roommates? Lu Han, who are you with?
      • LU HAN: In Korea I was in the same room as Leader, and Xiu Min.
      • MC: So you three together.
      • LU HAN: Lay and Chen were together, and Tao on the first floor with the manager.
      • MC: Was Tao receiving special treatment?

[FULL] 120410 EXO-M Sina Interview 1/5 [Eng]



  • MC: Welcome! We just saw a very spectacular MV, and this is our guest today, SM's new boy group, EXO-M! Welcome to Sina. How about saying hi to the netizens?
  • EXO-M: We are one! Hello everyone, we are EXO-M.
  • MC: Welcome. A lot of netizens are already watching this tream, hopefully we can communicate through this platform today. What we saw just then was the MV of MAMA, is it possible to have a live version of it? Kris?
  • KRIS: No problem. Lay, Lu Han, Xiu Min.
  • MC: This is live, so everyone can understand this arrangement. Our handsome boys are ready, let's the performance begin!
  • (Lay, Lu Han, Xiu Min performs MAMA dance live)
  • MC: That was great! We also have a lot of fans here in the studio today, what do you think?
  • Fans: Handsome/hot.
  • MC: I can see a fan is already crying from happiness. Just then the way our EXO-M introduced themselves, there is this one pose, right?
  • KRIS: That's right.
  • MC: What is the meaning of that?
  • KRIS: It means terrific, representing our wish to be a recognised, influencial group in the music industry. And it also represents, because we have another 6 members in Korea, the meaning of "one".
  • MC: Just then was the group introduction, and we have all six members, shouldn't we introduce one by one? Kris, start.
  • KRIS: Hello, I am EXO-M's leader, KRIS.
  • LAY: Hello, I am EXO-M member LAY.
  • LU HAN: Hello, Iam EXO-M member LU HAN.
  • XIU MIN: Hello, I am EXO-M member XIU MIN.
  • CHEN: Hello, I am EXO-M member CHEN.
  • TAO: Hello,Iam EXO-M's maknae, TAO.
  • MC: Welcome everyone. So just then's MAMA MV is your first MV, how about Chen introduce this song to us?
  • KRIS: MAMA is actually a really powerful, strong song, the make-up or the song style both give a powerful feel, and also mysterious. The use of orchestra instruments in the beginning gives a mysterious feel. Plus we are a performance type group, so there is a really magnificant stage effect.
  • MC: The song MAMA won over a lot of fans' hearts, and everyone interpret this song in their own way online. Can one of the members tell us your interpretation of MAMA and what the MV represents? It's okay, I'll ask again later. How does EXO-M describe themselves?
  • KRIS: EXO-M comes from the world "Exoplanet", represents the unknown planet outside of our solar system, meaning that we are an unknown planet, so it's the abbreviation of Exoplanet. Our group's speciality is that we are separated into EXO-K and EXO-M, releasing the same songs at the same time, in a different language and country.
  • MC: Yes, I saw that everyone has a badge, represents a power, did you choose that by yourselves?
  • KRIS: We didn't.
  • MC: But it suits your personality right?
  • KRIS: You can say that, we can introduce our badges.
  • MC: We'll start with maknae Tao this time.
  • TAO: Mine is stopping time, letting time stop.
  • MC: Stopping time, you have the power?
  • TAO: Yes, that's my power, stopping time and space.
  • MC: What about Chen?
  • CHEN: Mine represents thunder and lightning, but it's not hanging on my clothes, but it's a ring.
  • MC: Xiu Min, what about you?
  • XIU MN: Sorry, my Chinese isn't very good yet, so I'll communicate in Korean today, I will try my best to learn Chinese from now on, hopefully we can communicate in Chinese completely in the future.
  • MC: Thank you, we will give you encouragement.
  • XIU MIN: I'm wearing something with snow flower on it, meaning everything can be melted off.
  • MC: Lu Han.
  • LU HAN: I can move things with my mind.
  • MC: What about Lay?
  • LAY: Mine is a unicorn, it has healing powers.
  • MC: Kris what about you?
  • KRIS: I can fly, because mine is a dragon.
  • MC: Then you're very powerful.
  • KRIS: I'm okay.
  • MC: I heard that Lu Han is from Beijing, did you see your family coming back to China this time?
  • LU HAN: Not yet. Our debut stage was on the 8th in Shenzhen, and after the performance on the 9th we flew to Beijing, so I haven't got a chance to go home yet.
  • MC: Will there be time though?
  • LU HAN: Don't know yet, but I did call my parents.
  • MC: But we have a present for Lu Han, let's take a look.
