MC: What is Woohyun's role in this unit? Key: Kibum's friend. MC: And Key's role is? Woohyun: Woohyun's friend. MC: Have you ever had a fight? Key: No, we haven't. MC: What is SHINee's reaction to your unit? Key: Why didn't you tell us?! MC: What is Infinite's reaction? Woohyun: Why did you tell us?
MC: SHINee didn't know? Key: I'm not sure what will happen since it's a secret project, so I just decided to protect it. But everyone in Infinite knew. LOL. Woohyun: Our members look at all our schedules, and they started wondering what's up with the "Woohyun's filming" and "Woohyun's recording". So they just asked, "What is that?"
MC: Your schedules are really packed. Isn't it terrible? Woohyun: I actually want to do more LOL. Key: This is something we absolutely want to do together, so no matter how tired we are or how we don't have free time, we're having fun.
MC: Do you have any memories of fanservice you did during your fansign? Key: I was looking at Woohyun and was thinking, wow you do it like this huh. I was really surprised! He was really reserved during debut but Woohyun really put an effort in approaching (his fans). He kept confessing and I'm beside him but I'm not sure how many girls/girlfriends he has now LOL.
MC: Key's been active for 7 years now, so how do people around you call you? Key: It depends on the person, but if it's someone close to me, I'd rather they call me Kibum instead of Key. But of course on TV, I ask them to call me Key. Even Woohyun. MC: Aside from Key, were there other choices for your stage name? Key: I think I can reveal this now but since junior high, my nickname has been Bumkey. Even now I have "Bum" written in English sometimes, but Lee Sooman eventually chose Key. Since in any language it's pronounced the same so it's quite nice.
On "Tell Me Why" Key: This is the first song we recorded as ToHeart. I remember it as the first time we met the people we'd be working with and the first time we recorded in the studio.
MC: Your first job is being a singer. Did you have something you want as a second career? Key: Instead of a second job... I think I consider my career as a singer the 0th job because it's my foundation. My first job would be a musical singer/actor or something, so that's where it branches. MC: You are a workaholic, aren't you? Key: Yeah, it could be a bit like that.
MC: Key also did the rap-making? Key: "In You're My Lady" and "Tell Me Why", there were parts which were originally like a narration. So in the middle portion I kind of... MC: You're also interested in fashion and painting, aren't you? Key: I've always been interested in painting as a child, and I wanted to take it up again. I even got art supplies.
MC: Have you ever been to each other's dorms? Woohyun: I've been to SHINee's dorm. Key: I haven't been to Infinite's. Our dorms are far from each other so I never got the chance to visit theirs. Woohyun: I also went to Daegu (Key's hometown) to eat.
MC: What are the differences between your fanclubs? Key: SHINee's fans are mild and reserved. Infinite's fans seem like their close friends. Infinite's fans also exert a lot of effort in giving their greetings (to the members). I've been told they exchange cards/letters so they are friendly (with Infinite members).
