[Vid] UKiss- Album Jacket interview

Ukiss Dongho's pant was stolen by some one else

NH Media talked about a hilarious, if not slightly disturbing incident from U-Kiss’ first comeback performance this week. It turns out that moments before the boys were to go on stage, Dongho’s clothes were discovered to be missing!

On April 2nd, representatives commented, “Right before the recording for Mnet’s ‘M! Countdown‘ on March 31st, Dongho’s pants were stolen, which caused a chaotic scene. Because it was an emergency, we had to contact the production center and ask them to quickly make his pants again. Fortunately, we were able to complete the recording on time.”

U-Kiss’ upbeat ballad, "0330", has been earning a fantastic response from the public and is doing excellently on the charts, proving that the group’s departure from auto-tune and hook songs is working in their favor.

“Bran New Kiss” ranked first on album charts and is even receiving orders from overseas.

Soohyun is the new leader of Ukiss

In preparation for their upcoming fifth mini-album, U-KISS underwent some drastic changes to bring about some growth and maturity into their group.

The most obvious of changes were seen through the departures of members Kibum and Alexander, who were replaced by Paran’s AJ and Hoon. Admittedly, the original members did confess that they were upset by the switch-ups at first.

They revealed, “We didn’t know what to do at first, and all of us were so confused and lost because we had to separate from the two friends we were with all along. But now that we’ve been rehearsing with the new members and spending more time together, we’ve been making an effort to try and get to know each other better. We’re definitely learning faster than in the past, so we do have strong hopes of showing a lot more than we previously could.”

U-KISS never really had a formal leader, but in the spirit of change, they’ve decided to elect Soohyun for the position. “After experiencing something as big as a member change, all of the members have become so much more serious and mature. Now, no matter what we do, we have better focus and are able to advance at a faster pace than before.”

The members also decided to participate in the album’s writing, rap-making, and production, in an effort to show that they’re not merely a product of their company.

“The team has transformed a lot musically. People usually think of addictive choreography, auto-tune, and powerful performances when they think of U-KISS, but through this promotion cycle, we hope to break that stereotype. AJ and Dongho participated in writing the songs; wouldn’t that fact alone make you feel a sense of change? (smile)”

K-pop fans will probably cock their head when told that U-KISS has yet to win #1, especially considering the success of their hit track, “Manmanhani“. But with their new song, “0330“, the group hopes to finally acquire that top spot on the charts.

“After debuting in 2008, we carried the same dream every year, and it’s to win #1 on a music program. We want to receive a shower of flowers when the MC says we’re #1. But of course, before we win, we’ll be working to show that we’re not falling behind our peers in terms of talent.”

U-KISS stated, “At the end of the day, music is what represents the singer. Right now, we’re at the point where we’re deciding whether to take that one step or not because we’re back at the starting line. We hope to show our fans that U-KISS are great singers. We’ve prepared a lot, so please look forward to it.”

Soohyun concluded, “I like people who work well, and my dongsengs all do so well on their own, so as a leader, I don’t have much to do.”

Ukiss Dongho said ' I lost about 70,000 followers on Twitter'

With their comeback ahead of them, U-Kiss underwent a member change recently. Alexander and Kibum have left the group, and AJ (Kim Jae Seop) and Hoon (Yeo Hoon Min) have been added. After receiving backlash from the fans, Dongho, Soohyun and other members have revealed their feelings through Twitter.

In Dongho’s latest interview with Newsen, he revealed, “Although I am not affected by negative comments written about me, I care about the negative comments written about our group. Instead of keeping quiet and not saying anything to the fans, I decided that it would be better to take a step out, so I posted on Twitter.”

“It was not like this when Kiseop hyung joined the group. Maybe they’re doing this because they cannot see Alexander and Kibum hyung. For the members as well as the fans, I think we all need some time, so I wrote that ‘all 9 members are a family’. After the change in members, I lost about 70, 000 followers on Twitter.”

U-Kiss, born again with the new members, are currently recording their new album. AJ, who has been in the same company, has practiced with the members before their debut. A pre-debut video of Soohyun and AJ dancing together has also attracted a lot of attention. Dongho said that the first time he met Yeo Hoon Min was when they were working on the album. “Han Seok Jun hyung (KBS announcer) called me. He told me he was worried. We are all working hard.”

We asked Dongho about his interests lately. “After my birthday, I will get my identification card”, he answered excitedly. Dongho, who started broadcasting activities in middle school, said, “I want to get my driving license quickly. I’m the only one who doesn’t have my own space. Of course I have my own room, but not the entire house is mine. I like cars, so I have thought of my dream cars for different ages. When I’m in my twenties, I want to drive a sports car. In my thirties to forties, I want to drive a Porsche Cayennes or a BMW. When I’m 50, my dream car is Rolls Royce and a Mercedes ‘Maybach’.”

Besides his big dream cars, there is something else that Dongho is excited about. Dongho’s brother, who is 10 years older than him, will finish his studies in China this summer and return to Korea. Since his brother left to study overseas immediately after serving in the army, they have not been able to live together for almost 7 years. “He must have been so lonely in China. Although we have a lot of fun together when my hyung comes back to Korea once in a while, it is always too short. When I think about my hyung coming back, I’m really happy.”

Dongho is a regular in MBC’s 2011 Wed-Thurs drama, ‘Royal Family’ and he will make his first appearance in a movie, earning himself the title of an ‘acting-dol’. He is also part of the pretty-boy idols on SBS’ ‘Star King’ together with 2PM’s Nickhun and SHINee’s Minho.

“In the past, I relieved stress by being part of ‘Invincible Baseball’ and through ‘Star King’, I get to experience a whole new world. Not long ago, I listened to guitarist Kim Kwang Suk play Kim Hyun Shik’s music. After that, I fell in love with folk songs. When I listen to those songs, it gives me a somewhat healing feeling.”

Singer, actor, entertainer. Within just 3 years of his debut, Dongho is well-versed in all these areas. Look forward to Dongho’s stream of activities in 2011.
