![[F.CUZ] SIA interview with F.CUZ Empty](https://2img.net/i/empty.gif) | | Subject: [F.CUZ] SIA interview with F.CUZ Tue Dec 07, 2010 10:00 am | |
| SIA interview with F.CUZWe interviewed the group F.CUZ who even before their debut in Korea in Jan 2010 gained the interest from people through the Internet. In September they held their first show case “Hug My Heart” in Japan and gained the love of Japanese fans. In December they’ll come back to hold a concert for their fans. I never thought we’d end up in the same group as Jinon…. ----- I’ve heard you have members who are graduates from the same high school?Jinon: Yes, originally me, Yejun and Kan are from the same high school. They are my under classmates. Kan: Jinon-hyung is our saviour. LeeU: At first I thought Kan was half. With his broad shoulders he seemed to have a lot of confidence and seemed quite arrogant (laugh). Yejun had silky hair, fair skin, a cute smile and seemed charming.. Jinon-hyung… (Kan and Yejun start laughing) Jinon: Why are you laughing? It’s not something bad right? It’s something good? (laugh) LeeU: Jinon was the first member I met but at that time he was wearing jeans, a long-sleeved t-shirt and swept back hair. He also had a beard so at first I thought he was a handsome manager. (laugh) I heard from the company president that he was the leader. Jinon: In the beginning LeeU really didn’t like the idea of me being in the group. The face he made when the company president told him I was a part of the group clearly said “I really don’t want to do this with him!”. (laugh) LeeU: I was really worried about having someone who seemed so old be a part of an idol group… Kan: But in reality there’s only a 1 year difference between them. (laugh) LeeU: When I went for lessons, he had let down his hair and cut his beard so he looked similar to the actor Kwon Sang-woo. At that time I realized what a difference it made in his looks when he had his hair down in comparison to up. (laugh) Jinon has a face that the more you look at it the more charming it gets. (grin) - Spoiler:
-----The names you’re using are not your real names right?
Jinon: Yejun is using his real name. Yejun has the image of a “little prince” and it just happens to be so that his real name was cute so it was decided he could keep it. LeeU was doing solo activities under the name U before he became a member of F.CUZ and it was decided he should change it a bit so he added his real last name Lee so it became LeeU. For Kan they wanted for him to have a name with a strong feeling and lots of suggestions were discussed…
LeeU: Like “Lan” and “Zero”
Yejun: In the end Kan’s mother called and said that the name “Kan” had the meaning of “emperor” so how about that? And that’s how it was decided. The name that was hardest to come up with was…
Everyone: Jinon-hyung
Kan: He insisted on keeping his real name.
Jinon: Since there’s a Korean comedian with the same name as me (Kim Jinchul) everyone rejected the idea ferociously. I really wanted to keep it though since it was a really nice name given to me by my parents…..
LeeU: So it was decided he could keep the “Jin” part…
Jinon: I’m the leader so I wanted something that would show my central role in F.CUZ. That’s when the word “Engine” surfaced. With the meaning of “I’ll turn F.CUZ’s engine ON” the name JinOn was created for me…
Yejun: That’s why his last name is En.
LeeU & Kan: En JinOn. (laugh)
If they were to date it would be LeeUxJinon and KanXYejun!?
-----Jinon you previously answered the question “If you were reborn as a female which member would you date?” with “Even if I was reborn 100 times I’d always choose LeeU”…..
Jinon: I still haven’t changed my mind.
LeeU: Should we really start dating? (laugh)
Yejun: If I was a girl I’d date Kan. Even though he’s a really strong person, he’s also a bit of an airhead which if I was a female is something I’d find charming I think.
Jinon: It actually seems like regardless of which of you turned female you’d be a pretty good pair. But if you got married you’d probably immediately end up in the court house. (laugh) If me and LeeU dated we might not be as lovey-dovey as these two would be but if we got married I think we’d live a happy life.
-----and why is that?
Jinon: LeeU and I have opposite personalities but I think we would be able to compromise our way along. Love is about self-assertion but isn’t there a saying that the enjoyable thing about marriage is “compromising”? I think we’d be able to live happily ever after.
LeeU: I like men who can cook (laugh)
Jinon: But those two seems like they’d end up in the court house after only being married for 1 month. (laugh)
Yejun: Love is a Yes! Marriage is a No! (laugh)
-----No one else would work?
Jinon: I don’t think so. (laugh) Yejun’s incredibly indecisive so if I was a girl I’d probably get really irritated and end up hitting him. (laugh)

LEEU talks about F.CUZ
We decided our name by ourselves. We have 6 cameras installed in our rehearsal studio to be able to monitor our practice and when we were playing around with one of them I saw the word ”FOCUS”. If we were to use an English name I wanted to use a name which was familiar to many. “FOCUS” is a word that is often used in Korea and sounds good, so we added our own meaning to it and made our team name “F.CUZ”.

Q12: A siren. The waiting tone is the pre-set one. My display picture is of iPhone’s apple. I don’t know how to set my waiting tone (laugh)
Q13: Bouquet
Q14: Dongdaemun. I want to go shopping together there.
MEMBERS Talk about KAN
Yejun: Kan seems tough but he’s really friendly and pure.
LeeU: Even though he looks like that he’s really charming, he likes collecting figures and other cute stuff.
Jinon: In our group each member has a different image. Kan’s image was supposed to be of someone quiet and charismatic but on stage he winks and show peace signs so it failed. (laugh)

Q14: The 63 Building on Yeouido island. There’s a lot of fun things to do there so!
JINON talks about YEJUN
When I first met Yejun he didn’t have any confidence in himself so when he was called cute he answered with ”I’m just told that because I’m a boring person”. But in reality, Yejun has the most fans. When I said ”Look at all the messages the fans are leaving you. If you understand just how loved you are you’ll also find self confidence” he started reading the messages every day like a mad person. Now he’s gotten too confident so recently we’ve been banning him from the Internet. (laugh)
Hyung-team (JinonxLeeU) VS Dongsaeng-team (KanxYejun)
How much do you know about your partner?
We split them up in 2 teams, JinonxLeeU’s hyung-team and KanxYejun’s dongsaeng team. After that we asked them questions about their partner. The one who knows the most about his partner wins! 1 point for each correct answer. The loosing team will face a penalty. So, which team won?
Q. 01
What’s your teammates favourite (Japanese) dish? LeeU will guess Jinon’s and Kan will guess Yejun’s.
LeeU: What can it be, horumonyaki?
Kan: I think it’s sushi. Sushi!
----And the correct answer is?
Jinon: Meat! It’s beef~!
Yejun: Sushi!
----Dongsaeng-team was correct!
Hyung-team: 0 points | Dongsaeng-team 1 point
Q. 02
Who’s LeeU’s and Kan’s most afraid of?
Jinon: For LeeU I think it has to be his father.
Yejun: Isn’t it our company president?
----So, who’s correct? Please reveal your answers!
LeeU: It’s Jinon-hyung (laugh)
Kan: The General
----General?
Kan: It’s our company president. Yejun calls him “The General”!
----That means the dongsaeng-team was right~!
Hyung-team 0 points | Dongsaeng-team 2 points
Q. 03
What country does Jinon and Yejun want to travel to?
Jinon: Wait a second. All we need to do to get a point is to match each other’s answers, right?
----Well I guess you can say that. So, what do you think the correct answer is?
LeeU: Isn’t it Japan?
Jinon: ! (making a surprised face)
Kan: I think it’s USA
Yejun: You’re right! It’s USA! Correct!
Jinon: The correct answer is Canada. I first thought of Japan, but it seemed like LeeU wrote a long answer so I changed it to Canada.
LeeU: It’s because I wrote Japan in both Korean and Japanese.
Jinon: So unnecessary!
Hyung team: 0 points | Dongsaeng-team 3 points
Q. 04
What’s the other member’s twitter account? If one member is right you’ll get 1 point, and if both are right you’ll get 2 points.
Jinon: LeeU’s is LUsydrome
LeeU: Jinon-hyung’s is jinchulvv
Yejun: Kan’s is ChoiKANism
Kan: …and Yejun’s is Only1Yejun
LeeU: This was easy, right? It’s because I made Jinon’s account.
Kan: Jinon, you left out the “n”! LeeU-hyung’s is LUsy”n”drome!”
----Since Jinon was wrong (laugh) the hyung-team receives 1 point and the dongsaeng-team 2 points!
Hyung-team 1 point | Dongsaeng-team 5 points
Q. 05
What’s your partner’s type?
LeeU: Gu Miho!
Jinon: Correct!
Yejun: A cute person, perhaps?
----Kan, what’s the correct answer?
Kan: A girl who has respect in herself.
----Hyung-team got a point!
Hyung-team 2 points | Dongsaeng-team 5 points
Q. 06
What movie did LeeU and Kan recently watch that touched them?
Jinon: Wait! Please give us a chance to turn this game around!
LeeU: How about from now on if you’re right, you’ll get 3 points?
Yejun: It’s just because they said we’re soon reaching the last question. That’s how much they don’t want receive the punishment (laugh)
Kan: Eeeh? I guess it can’t be helped. Aah~ I’m getting nervous!
----So from now on if you’re correct you’ll get 3 points. A question with a turn-around chance! Please give us your answer!
Jinon: “If only”
Yejun: “1 litre of tears”, right?
----Believe it or not, both teams were correct!
LeeU: That you knew touches me! I feel like I’m going to cry (laugh)
Jinon: Of course! I’m En Jinon (laugh)
----Since both teams were right we’ll just give them 1 point each.
Hyung-team 3 points | Dongsaeng-team 6 points
Q. 07
What’s a song Jinon and Yejun often listens to? This is the final question!
LeeU: ”Only you”*
Jinon: Correct! LeeU you’re a genius!
Kan: (shows a blank paper) ….I don’t know (tears)
Yejun: The correct answer is ”U”~~
----And thus the results are Hyung-team 6 points | Dongsaeng-team 6 points, a draw!
(* I think it’s the song from Winter Sonata but I’m not sure)
So in the end, who won….?
With the hyung-team’s eleventh hour comeback we ended up deciding on the winner through rock, paper, scissors. In the end the dongsaeng-team won (laugh). As a punishment LeeU and Jinon had to treat Yejun and Kan for dinner that evening.
