During your stay in Japan you cook and do your laundry yourself? You’re surprisingly skillful……!?
-While you’re staying in Japan I know you’re living by yourself but now how is living in Japan?
Everyday has its challenges but its fun.
-Do you do your own house chores?
Yes.
-Honestly, I can’t really imagine you doing chores.
Really? Might be unexpected but I’m good at it~. I also do my own laundry. Ah, the dry cleaning I leave to the apartment staff but it takes around 3 days for it to come back… I guess that can’t be helped (strained laugh)
-And cooking?
I do it myself quite a lot!
-What’s your specialty?
Korean food of course!
-Were you good at cooking from back in Korea?
No, not at all. When I came to Japan was when I decided to cook for myself. There’s a limit to how much I can go out and eat everyday, so its inevitable I had to start cooking for myself.
-That’s true. What would you especially recommend out of all the things you can cook?
Pork kimchi. Also, things like miso jjigae.
-That’s amazing~
It’s really not that amazing. It’s super easy~! Anybody could make it instantly!
-Is that the case?
On the other hand, since I can’t make Japanese food, I can only go out and eat things like sushi.
-You seem like you’d acquaintances with the sushi shop owner. But even though when you’re in a suit speaking with you I’m like “This is Big Bang’s V.I-san,” in normal clothes I wouldn’t recognize you (laughs)
Ah, you’ve seen “Gyouretsu no Dekiru Houritsusoudanjo” (on Fuji Television)?
-Yes. Was that episode real?
It wasn’t a joke (laughs) Even though I’ve become acquainted with with the shop owner of the Sushi shop I frequent, when I go with my friends in normal clothing as soon as I enter he’s like “Excuse me, who are you?” and stops me. “I have a reservation” “Your name?” “Mystery” “Mystery? Mystery-sama??” “Don’t you know me?” “Eh? No way you’re Big Bang’s V.I-san?” “That’s me.”
-Hahaha (laughs) The perfect comedic story right?
It’s not a comedic story, its reality (laughs) From the start, because the sushi shop is a high class shop, young people like me don’t usually go to it so I think he thought it was strange. Big Bang’s V.I does have a performer feel to him, having a fashionable image and wearing sunglasses. Also, my hair (his bangs) when its down, I don’t look like I do in Big Bang.
-That’s right we all have an impression from your image.
It kinda makes me sad that it changes me that~ much (strained laugh)
-That’s just the impact of Big Bang, the stages and television appearances leave a strong impact.
Seems happy, seems lonely…But, since that’s the only thing that sinks in for everyone, in order to have many people know more and more about me, I will actively work hard at my Japanese activities.
