Andy: In the past I used to bring comic books on the show, when it wasn't my turn to speak I'd read the comics on the sly. It wasn't that I didn't like to talk, more like I didn't know what to say, and I didn't have enough confidence.
DJ: What about now?
Andy: Aigo, now I talk too much and get into trouble hahaha
DJ: Who's the most talkative when the members get together?
Andy: Dongwan hyung
DJ: Is that right?
Andy: Yes, his mouth never stops moving
DJ: Who's next in line?
Andy: I think it's me
DJ: Ah really? Then who talks the least?
Andy: During interviews it would be me and Eric hyung, but off the camera, the most talkative ones are Dongwan hyung, Minwoo hyung and me. Eric hyung and Hyesung hyung are the quieter ones.
And there's another funny thing, we're split into the LA group and the Korea group. Me, Eric hyung and Hyesung hyung belong to the LA group because we stay in Orange County, so we're 3 against 3. And funnier still, we're all BOA. American BOA and Korean BOA.
DJ: What's that about?
Andy: BOA, our blood types are B, O and A.
DJ: Oh the other 3 are B, O and A too
Andy: That's right. So when we're going out, usually the Korea group didn't tag along. If I said "I'm going to the PC bar today", the Korea group wouldn't come along but the LA group would. And it's the same for going out to drink. I'd say, "It's raining today, let's go to the roadside stall for some soju", it's the LA group who would go.
DJ: And the Korea group wouldn't go? That's strange
Andy: If Junjin hyung for example said he wanted to have some soju, the LA group wouldn't go but the Korea group would, hahaha
DJ: Do you sense this pattern yourselves too?
Andy: Yes, and when we did, the LA group felt that we shouldn't carry on like that...
DJ: Then in the beginning would the LA group speak English among yourselves since the Korea group isn't around?
Andy: We don't speak English, when we're together we never speak English. So the Korea group got suspicious and asked us, "Are you really from the US?" We said yes, and they said "Don't lie, you're from Itaewon right?" [*Itaewon is the area where foreign expats in Korea tend to hang out]
DJ: That's right, why don't you speak English?
Andy: Usually the ones that come from the US would speak English occasionally, like if you're on the phone with a friend. But we all speak Korean, because there isn't any need to speak English. The other members find this very weird.

Fans Q&A:
Q1: During live performances, honestly does Andy oppa make mistakes? What are you thinking when you get the dance moves wrong?
Andy: How to ease back into the dance without anyone realising my mistake... During Shinhwa performances, I once pretended that I was hurt when I got the steps wrong.
DJ: What did you do?
Andy: I pretended that I hurt my leg and couldn't dance
DJ: So the rest would think that you were dancing despite your injury
Andy: That's how I get away with it. I promise not to do it anymore, really sorry...
DJ: Andy you're really an expert
Andy: At first I didn't realise it but the other members all did the same too. When I made a mistake, I thought "Oh no, I got it wrong", but when I watched the video, I realised that the other members all pretended to be aching or hurting somewhere when they made mistakes. I thought they were really injured, but when I asked them, they said they did that because they got the steps wrong. That's how I learnt to do this. Sorry...I won't do it again...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q2: Why did Hyesung and Junjin feature on your album?
Andy: Hyesung hyung was travelling with his parents and was overseas. Junjin hyung was busy with his performance in China, so he couldn't make it.
DJ: That's too bad then, they weren't in Korea
Andy: For the 2nd album, I'll get them to participate
DJ: Have they promised you?
Andy: Yes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q3: How does Andy oppa feel about acting in dramas?
Andy: I do have plans to act again
DJ: Oh~ I like you in Lovers In Prague
Andy: Thank you, I...erm...am really quite embarrassed about that.
DJ: Why? The drama was quite popular
Andy: I wasn't quite suitable for the role, so I feel quite apologetic to the viewers. I didn't do it well.
DJ: I think it was not bad
Andy: No...
DJ: So what kind of role would you like to play?
Andy: I'm taking acting classes now, and I will be taking on a role that I really want, everyone please look forward to it.
DJ: So you will be challenging the field of acting this year
Andy: Yes
DJ: What about musicals?
Andy: It will be either a drama or a musical
DJ: Musicals are very interesting isn't it?
Andy: Oh it is. Initially I was very nervous, but the nerves wore off as the show went on. Then during the curtain call, the cheers and applause are just fantastic.
DJ: Seems that musicals suit you a lot
Andy: I didn't use to laugh like this, but the sound of my laughter changed after the musical.
DJ: You speak louder now too
Andy: Yes... I used to greet people very softly, but I'm more confident after the musical.

Q4: The secret to looking young after 10 years?
Andy: Haha, I don't know, I don't really pay attention to skincare.
DJ: Forget it, let's skip this question
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy: 24th March is Shinhwa's 10th anniversary, and we'll be holding our 10th anniversary concert on 29/30 March at Olympic Park Gymnasium. Hope everyone can come.
Also, I'll be having my solo activities at the same time. I'll be holding a few solo concerts in China from Apr 18, and after that a 3-day solo concert in Japan from 2 May. After the concerts, I'll be acting in either a drama or a musical.
