『Jeho: My questions are done, right? Can I ask Kang Kiyeon questions now?』
『Kiyeon: Yes.』
『Jeho: But, before we move on.』
『Kiyeon: …?』
『Jeho: Someone asked me to show them how to crack a walnut with my bare hands. I bought some, so can I crack one before we continue?』
『Kiyeon: Hyung, you can crack a walnut with your bare hands…? Ack!』
(A walnut shatters to pieces)
『Cheonghyeon: What, we can do experiments too? Then I'll put cotton swabs on my eyelashes! Someone asked about it. Does anyone have cotton swabs?!』
『Kiyeon: Want me to put them on for you? The cotton swabs are a little big, though.』
(spArk huddles together to place the cotton swabs)
『Kiyeon: Three of them fit, Sparkler!』
『Cheonghyeon: Can I relax my eyes now…?!』
『Kiyeon: Yeah, yeah.』
『Jeho: There was also a request to film swimming content, befitting a cool guy, so I'll suggest it.』
『Cheonghyeon: Hyung, you really read the questions carefully, huh?』
『Jeho: If we're all settled, I'll ask my question. Q: What kind of outfits do you wear often these days?』
『Kiyeon: The weather gets a little chilly in the evening, you know? So I enjoy wearing blouson jackets. I'm not a fan of anything too simple, so I choose outerwear with details like pockets or stitching.』
『Cheonghyeon: Your t-shirts are the flashiest among us too.』
『Kiyeon: Aren't they similar to yours?』
『Jeho: You're both pretty loud.』
『Kiyeon: Hyung… hearing that from you feels really strange.』
『Jeho: Next. Q: Do you have any plans to drop the formalities with the hyungs?』
『Kiyeon: Not yet. This question also applied to Seongbin, so I asked him too. Seongbin said he doesn't have any plans either.』
『Cheonghyeon: Why? Are you just used to speaking formally after all this time?』
『Kiyeon: There's that, and also because we've known each other since we were trainees, they feel much more like hyungs even though the age gap isn't that big. It feels like they're not just one or two years older, but more like five or six?』
『Cheonghyeon: I guess it's because the eldest hyungs were already adults when we were in middle school.』
『Jeho: It's for the content, so try dropping it now.』
『Cheonghyeon: Awesome.』
『Kiyeon: What? Right now?』
『Jeho: Shouldn't you try it when the question comes up?』
『Kiyeon: No, hyung, why would you say something like that…yo!』
『Jeho: There are a lot of questions about the maknae. Q: Did you expect your image to be that of the super cute maknae? …Something like that. Try answering informally.』
『Kiyeon: I didn't.』
『Cheonghyeon: Hahaha!』
『Kiyeon: You know, there's a certain impression that comes with being the maknae. So I did expect to be seen as young to some extent, but then I suddenly became 'Super Cute Kang Kiyeon'.』
『Cheonghyeon: It was beyond your imagination.』
『Kiyeon: Everyone says I'm not cute, but only Sparkler and Iwol call me super cute, and Iwol doesn't even find me that cute. He just says it.』
『Jeho: What do you think is better, 'Sheikh's Soul' or 'Super Cute'?』
『Kiyeon: That hyung… how is his naming sense so bad?』
『Cheonghyeon: That's his way of showing affection and interest.』
『Jeho: This is also a maknae-related question. Q: What are the good things and sad things about being the maknae? Also, what do you wish the hyungs would do, and what do you wish they wouldn't do?』
『Kiyeon: The good thing is that all the hyungs tend to let things slide, thinking, 'Well, he's the maknae, right?' Even if I or Cheonghyeon make a mistake, they just brush it off, saying, 'The maknae did it!'』
『Cheonghyeon: That's right.』
『Kiyeon: On the other hand, whenever a problem arises in the team, I'm the last one to hear about it. Iwol and Jeho are the eldest, and Seongbin is the leader, so information is shared with them quickly. Lee Cheonghyeon also gets updates fast if it's related to producing. I tend to hear about things relatively late… It's not so much sad as it is a bit disappointing. If they told me sooner, I could worry about it with them, but the hyungs prefer to give me the solution rather than the problem. It's half gratitude, half feeling sorry?』
『Jeho: So you wish they wouldn't exclude you from things like that?』
『Kiyeon: You could say that. As for what I wish for…』
『Cheonghyeon: For them to stop buying you pajamas?』
『Kiyeon: Seriously. Please stop buying me pajamas. I could hold a pajama fashion show at this point.』
『Jeho: I didn't buy any.』
『Kiyeon: Yes, thank you.』
『Jeho: Q: Your thoughts when you surpassed 180cm in height. You picked this question too?』
『Kiyeon: It's a question that came up consistently. I can say this now, but I felt a huge amount of pressure before I reached 180cm.』
『Cheonghyeon: Because all the members are tall?』
『Kiyeon: Yeah. When I came to my senses, everyone but me was over 180cm. You had a huge growth spurt too. I finally understood why Iwol was so insistent that I had to get taller. So when I hit 180cm…it felt like I had overcome a huge mountain. Now, I'm grateful for everything in the world.』
『Jeho: Q: They want you to name the most interesting manga you've read recently.』
『Kiyeon: 'Recently,' right? I recently started a new manga to prepare for my role as the heartbroken man in 『MooNStruck IOve』.』
『Jeho: The one with the dark magical girl?』
『Kiyeon: Yes. It was a true masterpiece, and it was such a shame that the rest of it is missing. I think I'll probably keep waiting for it.』
『Cheonghyeon: Is there really no plan for it to be serialized in the future?』
『Kiyeon: The author apparently isn't creating any more works. To all the readers in the world who love manga… Let's promise two things. Don't use illegal sites, and don't post excessively slanderous comments…』
『Cheonghyeon: This is the first time I've seen you look this sad.』
『Kiyeon: Because this is the first time I've been this sad…』
『Jeho: …? There's one more question. Is this the last one?』
『Kiyeon: There's more? All the questions I picked have been asked.』
『Jeho: Q: A noona fan asks! Until what age is it okay to be a fan of spArk? Until what age are you a noona? …is what it says.』
『Cheonghyeon: I secretly put it in! I wanted to hear Cheong-Je-Ki's answer~.』
『Jeho: What do you think?』
『Cheonghyeon: It's not like you're a fan based on your age, so why does 'until what age' matter? There are no restrictions on becoming a fan!』
『Kiyeon: There are quite a few people who are cautious about becoming noona fans. They seem to feel burdened by it?』
『Jeho: Why? Isn't it better for the guy to be younger?』
『Cheonghyeon: My dad is younger than my mom, and they seem happy.』
『Jeho: Anyone older than me is a noona. Then friends, and younger ones are hoobaes. Is there anything else to divide?』
『Kiyeon: There you have it. If you become our noona fans, we'll be your six Seong Silhan younger brothers.』
『Cheonghyeon: Well then, since the individual questions are over, shall we move on to the group questions? Should we do this in order too?』
『Kiyeon: Then I guess I'll have to ask first. Q: What part of your appearance are you most satisfied with, and what part are you dissatisfied with?』
『Cheonghyeon: The part I'm satisfied with is my eyes! Because Sparkler tells me my eyes are pretty the most~. It's not dissatisfaction, but if there's a part I'm a little sad about, it's the corners of my eyes?』
『Kiyeon: The reason?』
『Cheonghyeon: I worry they look too fierce. If I had a warmer appearance, Seongbin wouldn't have to struggle alone as the token warm and handsome guy.』
『Kiyeon: But if the corners of your eyes changed, Iwol would probably faint.』
『Cheonghyeon: That's why I don't touch my face. I wonder if hyung knows I'm this worried about him. I'm such a praiseworthy younger brother.』
『Cheonghyeon: Q: To Jeho, who doesn't look it but is surprisingly detailed and cares a lot about the members! Can you tell us one by one any characteristics or habits of the members that not many people know?』
『Jeho: I'll start with the guys here… This kid, Lee Cheonghyeon, can't sleep well if there's a light on. It's fine if he's taking a quick nap during the day or sleeping in the car, but at night, he'll wake up if a light is on. When Kang Kiyeon teaches someone a move, he always finishes by patting their back twice. Like this.』
『Kiyeon: I do?』
『Cheonghyeon: Has he ever done that to you, hyung?』
『Jeho: No. I decide things with him, I don't learn from him. Park Joowoo has a lot of strange habits… like 'soil watching'.』
『Kiyeon: What's 'soil watching'?』
『Jeho: He just stares at the soil in a flowerpot. I thought there were ants, but that wasn't it either. Kim Iwol sometimes touches his nose in his sleep? He wipes under his nose with the back of his hand.』
『Cheonghyeon: Our team has all sorts of strange habits.』
『Jeho: Jeong Seongbin doesn't do it anymore since he got rid of his notebook, but he used to… how should I put it, eat his lips? He'd press his lips together tightly, smile, and just stare at people. Then he'd write the character for 'patience' in his notebook.』
『Cheonghyeon: That's scary… It's a huge relief that notebook is gone.』
『Jeho: It's Kang Kiyeon's turn, right? Q: The most comfortable hyung, the funniest hyung, the most trustworthy hyung, the kindest hyung, and the most handsome hyung according to Kiyeon?』
『Kiyeon: Exactly five. The most comfortable hyung is Cheonghyeon.』
『Cheonghyeon: I'm not the most trustworthy hyung?』
『Kiyeon: You take my side too much sometimes. Points deducted for lack of objectivity.』
『Cheonghyeon: Wow, I feel so betrayed!』
『Kiyeon: Hear me out. I don't think anyone can be as comfortable as a friend. Regardless of the hyungs being good hyungs, if I were to reveal my deepest inner thoughts to someone, it would be Lee Cheonghyeon. The funniest hyung is Joowoo.』
『Jeho: He's strange. You can't predict him.』
『Kiyeon: Joowoo is unpredictable. I can't withstand his sudden attacks when he's just been quiet. The most trustworthy hyung is Seongbin. I have faith that Seongbin will lead us well when a crisis hits the team or me, and the kindest hyung is, of course, Iwol.』
『Cheonghyeon: So in Kiyeon's eyes, Jeho is the most handsome?』
『Jeho: You didn't just give me the leftover spot?』
『Kiyeon: It's a fact that you're handsome. I don't insist that a correct statement is wrong.』
『Cheonghyeon: Then what if you could only have one of the hyungs as a younger brother? Who would you pick?』
『Kiyeon: …I can only have one as a younger brother?』
『Jeho: How many do you want as younger brothers?』
『Kiyeon: The more the merrier. If I have to choose just one… Seongbin.』
『Cheonghyeon: Seongbin? Why?』
『Kiyeon: Because I've never won against Seongbin. I'll become the hyung and challenge him again.』
『Jeho: Yeah, good luck with that.』
『Cheonghyeon: How can you tell him good luck for something that can't come true, hyung!』
『Cheonghyeon: It's already the last group question. Q: What do spArk and Sparkler mean to you?』
『Jeho: spArk is the team, and Sparkler are the people who allow us to remain a team. spArk can only continue to exist if Sparkler is there.』
『Kiyeon: I think it's a relationship where we are fans and idols to each other. Just as Sparkler sends us their support and wishes for our happiness, the members and I also cheer for Sparkler, hoping they are happy every day. To us, Sparkler will be the people we love the most.』
『Cheonghyeon: I think spArk is the origin of who I am as a person. While being in spArk, I'm learning one by one what kind of person I am, what I enjoy doing, and how I want to grow in the future. I believe Sparkler is with us, making sure those steps don't stop. We've become an inseparable relationship, I guess. That's why I'm happy!』
『Cheonghyeon: That's all for the Q&A we prepared! Thanks for watching until the end, Sparkler!』
『Jeho: Thank you. See you again next time.』
『Kiyeon: Thank you to everyone who sent in questions. Bye!』
