IDID Opens Up On Favorite Indian Song And Idol Life
1. You have a growing fanbase in India! Have you watched any Indian movies or listened to Indian music lately? And when can we expect IDID to perform in India?
BAEK JUNHYUK: “When I was younger, I really loved the Indian song Tunak Tunak Tun, so I’ve always had a very positive image of India ever since. If we get the opportunity someday, I would absolutely love to meet WITHID in India and perform there together.”
2. After one year, what’s something you thought would be easy as an idol but turned out to be really hard?
CHU YOOCHAN: Before my debut, I think I mostly focused on the idea of simply showing great performances and good sides of myself on stage. But after actually becoming an idol and promoting, I realised just how much preparation, effort, and thought goes into those few minutes on stage behind the scenes. It made me understand that there’s so much hard work and dedication people don’t always get to see.”
