Just because I think It's interesting!
I.N:
QuoteWe once prepared a performance with a Halloween concept. With the intention of preparing it centered around I.N, we were preparing together. I.N really stood out to me and the response was really good too. Back then, after seeing I.N's charm and confidence on stage, I thought: I want to be with him for a long time.
QuoteSeungmin... since when I first met him, he was extremely diligent. And I could feel that he thinks about his surroundings a lot through his attitude too. For example, as everyone knows, we went to go eat. Back then, Seungminnie was preparing for the open audition. Only Seungminnie came to where the trainees were sitting aside and greeted us saying: "Please, eat well". By himself! That left a really strong impression. After that, I thought: "Ah, so Seungminnie is this kind of person". Later, we did a performance together and he sang very well too. I think, because of those strengths, I wanted to go with him.
QuoteFelix came from Australia like me, and... the voice that Felix has is so charming. With the thought of "I want to try a lot of things with that voice", I think I wanted to keep going on with Felix. If you watch him on stage, when It comes to dancing and gestures, Felix is exuding charisma. You can see that with Felix's visuals. So I chose Felix too.
Han:
QuoteOn our team, after me, Hannie has been here the longest. I think I went through a lot of things with Hannie. We've tried this kind of team and that kind of team. But Hannie, for sure, he can sing, rap and he dances well too. I think he's the all-round cheat key. Then I thought: "It will be so great to go together with Hannie".
QuoteOur Hyunjinnie! I think he came in around the same time of I.N and Han. Since way back then, with his passion towards dancing, I saw the potential for it to keep on growing and improving. So, not only Hyunjin's dance skill, but also his talent on stage, I thought It was very charming. And he caught my eye more than anyone! So I had the thought that I wanted to go on with Hyunjinnie for a very long time.
QuoteChangbinnie is, of course, I didn't say it during Hannie's, but Hannie and Changbinnie rap so well. And, not just rap, but seeing as we write songs together as well, their skills in writing songs and that kind of adventurous charm, I thought It was really nice. From way back, we worked on a lot of Mixtapes and we're still working together now. While working, I just keep, secretly, without them knowing, just on my own, I think "Ah, It's such a relief I have them! I'm really happy they are here". I think Changbinnie and Hannie's presence is that important.
And for Changbinnie, the gestures that come out on stage. Hyung always compliments you, don't I? I think his wit on stage is really extraordinary. So I wanted to go with Changbin as well.
QuoteLee Know, to be honest, has the shortest training period among us. It's the shortest, but after seeing Lee Know's dancing skills, his training period may be short, but still, his knowledge about dance and the vibe he has with dancing... that vibe from his experience, I felt those things from his dance. So, with the thought that, on the team, It'd be nice If he could be in charge dance-wise and control those things, I ended up wanting to go with Lee Know too. Like this! Our team Stray Kids was born.
