[INTERVIEW EXCERPTS] 14/07/19 Yong Junhyung for ELLE August 2014
Q: Why do you have more older/adult fans?
JH: I think the reason why I have more older/ adult fans unlike Yoseop and Gikwang is because I’ve destroyed their [fans’] childlike innocence(!) once before.
Q: You guys are an idol who has a strong awareness of crisis. How come you guys are this realistic?
JH: BEAST’s team mood is very realistic. For example, even when we win the 1st place trophy at a music program, even when we’re now a team who can have a concert in front of thousands ot fans, we’re always questioning about how long we can do this kind of work, how long this popularity will last till. We sometimes encourage each other by saying today could be our last.

Q: Do you guys still divide out the income equally?
JH: Whatever we do, we divide it out equally, And I think this way out dividing out the income is a strength to keep us going forward. Because we know the member goes out and does a hard work, we try to do something too thinking ‘it’s my turn next’ and try to be out help tor each other. We’re thankful and feel sorry tor each other so it creates a synergy effect.
On dating:
JH: Yeah, I’m at a good age but it’s a delicate situation. There’s a lot of eyes that follow me and I think it’s getting harder to try something new. It’s obvious that meeting a girl isn’t a crime and it’s nothing wrong but if that fact is revealed and I become a person who let down the fans’ faith/trust, then it connects directly to popularity and my capability as an artist becomes devalued all of a sudden… those part are a bit sad.
