"at the time i was still young, even though I was tired, life still wasn't that hard. Because i thought - there must be others who are even more tired than me. I am already very lucky compared to others. During the long time of trainee days, i kept telling myself that I will do well!"


"people don't smile because they're happy, they are happy because they smile."
"It's human instinct to want to be first, it's unavoidable. When we first debut, people only recognized Heechul, Kibum and Siwon. But with time didn't people came to recognize Kangin, Shindong, and everyone else? Even though we fight at times but the one thing that we all keep in mind is A PERSON CAN SUCCEED ONLY IF THE GROUP SUCCEEDS FIRST. Only when one member succeed can the next succeed too right? I believe the day that everyone will see the sunshine will be coming soon!"


"Minus the us that are comical in front of others, we are actually all very confident. When I first tried out in the competition for SM i kept telling myself 'I can do it!' Truthfully, at the time I thought I was very talented. Only later did I see that there are many other capable competitors. But i still told myself 'as long as i work hard, then the hard work would be paid off' Even when it came time for SJ to debut, i still thought 'we can do it, we put so much effort into this!'
