『Cheonghyeon: Hello, Sparkler! This is Cheonghyeon!』

『Jeho: Hello, I'm Choi Jeho.』

『Kiyeon: I'm Kiyeon, it's nice to see you!』

『Cheonghyeon: The other members said they were putting 'Vocals' in their title. What should we put in ours?』

『Kiyeon: A combination of dance and rap, so 'Performance'?』

『Cheonghyeon: Hmm… I'd like something a bit catchier than 'Performance'.』

『Jeho: Cheong-Je-Ki.』

『Kiyeon: Wow.』

『Cheonghyeon: Doesn't that sound too much like a vacuum cleaner? And don't we usually go by age? Why Cheong-Je-Ki of all things?』

『Jeho: We have to do it in the order we're sitting so viewers know who's 'Cheong' and who's 'Je'.』

『Cheonghyeon: That's convincing…!』

『Kiyeon: Are we really going with Cheong-Je-Ki? For real?』

『Cheonghyeon: Alright! Let's go, Cheong-Je-Ki!』

『Cheonghyeon: What about the order… Should we start with Cheonghyeon, who's the 'Cheong' in Cheong-Je-Ki?』

『Kiyeon: You sound like the unit leader saying it like that. Should I read the questions for you?』

『Cheonghyeon: That would be great, thanks~.』

『Kiyeon: Question. What's your favorite song you've written so far? They'd also like you to share the reason why.』

『Cheonghyeon: I used to say 『What I Want To Say』, but now I like 『Sprint』

the most! It's not just a great song musically, I think it's also meaningful for the team. What about you two?』

『Kiyeon: If I had to pick from our recent songs, maybe 『MooNStruck Iove』?』

『Jeho: For me, it's 『Flare』.』

『Cheonghyeon: They're both dance tracks, but your preferences are so different.』

『Kiyeon: Next question. If you could go anywhere for a day with no restrictions, who would you go with, where would you go, and what would you do?』

『Cheonghyeon: I want to go with all the members! It's most fun when all six of us are together. We all get into different kinds of trouble.』

『Jeho: There's never a quiet moment.』

『Cheonghyeon: As for the place… shouldn't we go to Singapore? Iwol talks about it every day. About how we went to Singapore without him.』

『Kiyeon: Didn't he say he wanted to go to Greece when he got questions during a live stream before?』

『Jeho: Santorini?』

『Cheonghyeon: His answer changed after we went on a world tour without him. He talks about it so much, I think we really have to go with him. Singapore has that wide river flowing from a reservoir to the strait, right? I want to just sit there and watch the sunset or the night view!』

『Kiyeon : …Is this a question you picked?』

『Cheonghyeon: What is it?』

『Cheonghyeon: Ah, this one? That's right! Q: Would you rather have 6 billion won, or marry me? …To the Sparkler who asked! I'll take the 6 billion and propose to you, so just wait! I should've beaten you to the punch, sorry!』

『Jeho: You're in the wrong. Making someone wait.』

『Cheonghyeon: I know, right? I'm disqualified as an idol.』

『Kiyeon: Q. When you compose, do you tend to write based on inspiration? Or do you create based on references according to a plan?』

『Cheonghyeon: I record melodies from inspiration as they come, but I fundamentally build the foundation from the project proposal and references. The mood can change drastically with the genre and instruments, so you have to establish a clear picture to avoid straying. It's less about a concept being made to fit my song and more about me writing a song to match an order like, 'We want a song with this kind of feel.'』

『Kiyeon: There are also times when you expand on a melody you've already made, right?』

『Cheonghyeon: Yup, but only when it matches the plan and tone. Since we're creating a work for the team, the image the group needs to show comes first. It has to.』

『Kiyeon: I'll move on to the next question. What did you think when you first saw Iwol's contact name?』

『Cheonghyeon: Cutie Pretty Visual? But instead of what I thought, aren't you more curious about what Iwol was thinking when he made that nickname?』

『Jeho: Isn't yours better than Center Emperor?』

『Kiyeon: Is an emperor better, or being Super Cute?』

『Jeho : ……』

『Cheonghyeon: I'll answer sincerely, though! Back then, I think I thought, 'Iwol really sees us as his much, much younger brothers.' It wasn't over the top, but more like how you'd look at very young kids. Now I'd say, 'Iwol? He's a peculiar person!' but when we were trainees, he took care of us like a guardian… I thought, 'He must see us as such little kids!' To be honest, I kind of enjoy it now.』

『Kiyeon: I can tell you're enjoying it just by looking at your BubblePop.』

『Kiyeon: This is the last question. Q: Cheonghyeon, can you reveal your major? It also asks, 'Is studying for your major fun?'』

『Cheonghyeon: I've never officially talked about my major, have I? I was saving it since I'm a freshman and wanted to gauge the atmosphere first… but since I'm on a leave of absence, I'll reveal it. I'm in the School of Life Sciences! The lectures are fun but difficult. Will I be able to graduate?』

『Jeho: You have to do it in a way that doesn't strain your health.』

『Cheonghyeon: I'm working out hard and balancing it well with our activities, so please don't worry! I'll leave everything to the future me next year and focus on spArk's activities for this year! Please look forward to it~.』

『Cheonghyeon: Should I just continue with the questions? Jeho, are you ready?』

『Jeho: Yeah. Start.』

『Cheonghyeon: This first question is going to really tick off a certain someone back at the dorms. Q: Haven't you gotten a Banana commercial offer?』

『Kiyeon: Did you pick this question yourself?』

『Jeho: Everyone was curious. Shouldn't I answer something that many people want to know?』

『Cheonghyeon: Right. That's the virtue of an idol.』

『Jeho: I haven't gotten a commercial offer. Instead, 'Deserted Rest Island' keeps asking if I have any plans to appear…』

『Jeho: But this question made me curious, do people even film fruit commercials?』

『Kiyeon: If people don't film them, then who…』

『Jeho: If you look at commercials for yellow kiwis, there are no people, just kiwis singing.』

『Cheonghyeon: Gold kiwis?』

(Loud laughter)

『Cheonghyeon: That's true! Right, no people appear.』

『Kiyeon: Couldn't you just… wear a Banana mask or something and dance?』

『Jeho: Is that a person wearing a kiwi mask?』

『Cheonghyeon: This is driving me crazy. Can we even release this as a video? What's going to happen to Center Emperor's reputation…?』

『Kiyeon: Wasn't Center Emperor's reputation already ruined when you got caught carrying around a dust bag?』

(The emperor has no thoughts)

『Cheonghyeon: The second question is just as intense. Q: Does the color #FF6600 appear often in your casual clothes because you like it? If you do, what's the reason you came to prefer it? I'm very curious about what charm of fluorescent orange captivated Center Emperor, Jeho-yah.』

『Kiyeon: Now they're even calling you Center Emperor in the questions…』

『Jeho: At first, it was because it stood out as an accent color. People said all-black was too dark.』

『Cheonghyeon: Ahh, right.』

『Jeho: I kept buying it because it was comfortable and familiar. Then I'm not sure when it started… but Sparklers began finding orange items, and the company started using orange boxes for reverse support gifts to emphasize the flame image.』

『Kiyeon: That's right. That did happen.』

『Jeho: I thought, 'I guess they're accepting it as a team color,' and after that, I started choosing it on purpose.』

『Kiyeon: Ssp… I think we need to make sure Iwol doesn't see this video.』

『Cheonghyeon: Following up on favorite colors, the third question. Q" They want to know what brand of glasses you wear!』

『Jeho: To be honest, I thought brands were only for things like luxury sunglasses. I don't pick frames at the optical shop based on the brand, so I never even considered that each frame would have a brand.』

『Cheonghyeon: You've worn glasses for a long time, so you must have a preferred style, right?』

『Jeho: If the owner said, 'The product you used before was from this company,' I'd buy that one. Besides, we can't mention specific brands… so can I just answer with my frame preference instead? I like ones that are light and don't press on my nose too much.』

『Kiyeon: Since you have a high nose bridge, the pressure must be pretty noticeable.』

『Jeho: It's not so bad once you get used to it.』

『Cheonghyeon: This is a perfect question to ask now that you're with the youngest members! Q: If you could go back to being a rookie, would you want to be the oldest member of the team or the youngest?』

『Jeho: Isn't being the oldest better? Everyone, the youngest has it tough. Being the older member is better.』

『Cheonghyeon: We have it tough?』

『Jeho: It can't be comfortable being with the older members. If something hurts your feelings, you guys would hold it in because it's awkward to get angry in front of the older guys.』

『Kiyeon: It's not like the older members get angry either.』

『Jeho: I'm just giving an example. Not doing something even though you can is different from not being able to do it. In that sense, the youngest is at a disadvantage. Can you guys get angry at Jeong Seongbin?』

『Cheonghyeon: No.』

『Kiyeon: Nope…』

『Jeho: See?』

『Cheonghyeon: Next. Q: They want to know… the unreleased Choi Jeho nickname list, but is there anything we haven't told Sparkler?』

『Kiyeon: Are they asking if there are any slanderous nicknames, like 'Jeho-stralopithecus erectus'?』

『Jeho: For this one… if you guys don't have any, I'll have to ask Kim Iwol. Should I call him?』

『Kiyeon: Right now?』

『Jeho: Not right away. He told me if I'm calling because of a broadcast, I have to text him, get a reply, and then call. I'll contact him and wait.』

『Cheonghyeon: He's been like that ever since the money-borrowing game, right?』

『Jeho: Yeah, but would there even be more nicknames?』

『Kiyeon: He's an eccentric guy, so you never know what he might have.』

『Jeho: Got a reply. Calling now?』

『Iwol: Hello? Hello, Sparkler~. It's Iwol!』

『Jeho: What nicknames have you made for me?』

『Iwol: Your nicknames?』

『Jeho: Other than the ones that have been revealed.』

『Iwol: Aren't you filming content right now?』

『Jeho: Are they all slanderous?』

『Cheonghyeon: What on earth goes through your head on a daily basis?』

『Iwol: Bamboo Eating Panda, Beekeeping Industry's Sworn Enemy, Fat Bagel, Earthenware Figure That Accidentally Contained Life, Soul of a Sheikh with the Face of David, Dinosaur Fossil Mistakenly Restored into Human Form…』

『Kiyeon: They're all weird, but what in the world is Fat Bagel?』

『Iwol: It's the superior version of a Fat-caron (TL/N: fat macaron).』

『Jeho: Okay, hanging up.』

『Iwol: Alright. Sparkler, enjoy the video!』

『Jeho: So there you have it. I wonder if that satisfied your curiosity.』

『Kiyeon: I'm sure it more than satisfied it.』

『Jeho: That's a relief.』

『Cheonghyeon: Even though you became a Bamboo Eating Panda? And that call was so cool. Just state your business and hang up.』

『Cheonghyeon: After that long journey… it's finally the last question. This is something I was curious about too. Q: Why did you want to become an idol?』

『Kiyeon: You've never really mentioned a specific reason, have you?』

『Jeho: Yeah, I've said I don't remember well. It's not that I completely forgot… I think it was mostly that I wanted to dance, but it's hard to make a lot of money as a dancer.』

『Cheonghyeon: Was that it?』

『Jeho: I'd also vaguely heard things like, 'If you go to a big company, it takes a long time to debut because there are so many trainees.' A small company doesn't guarantee a fast debut, but I couldn't completely ignore financial concerns. If there are only three or four trainees, they're not going to drop anyone, right? And well… it's not like I have the personality to adapt to a strict company, is it?』

『Cheonghyeon: Aren't you being a little too honest?』

『Jeho: I used to be a bit reluctant to talk about this, but not anymore. I think it was a good choice, and I'm satisfied with who I am now. I'm saying this in case any Sparkler are worried after hearing this.』

『Kiyeon: I'm a bit hesitant to break this heartwarming mood, but didn't you worry about things like 'having to act cute'? If you were going to be an idol, you must have looked into it. I'm curious since you said you were concerned about the personality aspect.』

『Jeho: It's not even difficult, is that something to worry about?』

『Cheonghyeon: Right, this guy does everything shamelessly when you ask him to.』

『Kiyeon: So you were just born for it. You chose your career well.』
