Having already spent 10 years in showbiz, and establishing himself as a solo singer, Andy enjoys much popularity among the female fans. After his solo concert, he intends to take a break for a week before deciding between acting in a movie, a musical or starting on his 2nd solo album.
Q: Andy seems more cautious about his plans than ever before.
A: I've been protected for the past 10 years as the youngest in the group and as the youngest in the family. But being the only guy in the family there are times I feel like the oldest too, and I like to nag too. The rest always tell me to do things and I'll do it, so I'll nag when I tell them to do things and they don't do it. (laughs) Like, "you should do it this way" and things like that. There isn't much of my 20s left, but for men life starts at 30 anyway. That's something that the hyungs often say, actually one hyung in particular. (laughs)
Q: Do you sometimes think "when I reach that age I'll be like that too"?
A: Growing older isn't anything serious, don't we all get older? (laughs) But I do think that way sometimes. New artistes are sprouting up really quickly and that gets quite scary, haha. Sometimes I unknowingly get very conscious of the way they look at me. (laughs) That's why I rarely chat with the younger artistes, because I'm afraid they might know my secrets.
Q: Who do you hang out with these days?
A: I have some old friends, and I tend to compare myself to them these days. Looking at them making money, having children, I would think that it's really tough. But sometimes I imagine how it would be like to exchange lives with my friends. I'm enjoying popularity and love from the fans now, but my friends have love from their wives and children too. He's their idol and they're his fans too, and that will never change.
Why do I envy my married friends? I'm enjoying popularity, and I'm making quite a bit of money, but there's always this unnerving thought at the back of my mind, that it will all be over if I make just one mistake. It will be tough to start all over again. I think it's like this for everyone in showbiz.
Q: You seem to really want to get married, but you can't. 你好像想结婚啊结婚好
A: I want to have a relationship but that's no easy feat. Didn't Hyesung say he was lonely shortly after he went solo? My loneliness is twice of his. There are times when I'm happy just looking at girls. (laughs) You know how it is when girls sit at the table next to yours at cafes? I'll just appreciate them by looking at them. Does it sound perverted? (laughs) I'm like this because I haven't had any girlfriend in a long time, I'm becoming useless. (sighs)
Q: This is not the Andy we know!
A: The perfect image, it's not like that at all. Even if I'm not feeling well I seldom head to the doctor.
When I was young, if I caught a cold my dad would bring me on a ride on the bicycle, and I'd be fine after a while. That's what I did when I fell ill, I went riding on a bicycle. When the weather turned cold we slept at home covered by paper boxes. Times were really difficult when we were younger.
Q: What are your upcoming plans?
A: I'm going fishing this weekend, I think it's great to be eating fish during this time. I always go fishing with my friends and family. After that I'll be busy with the concert preparations. After the concert I'm going to take a break for a week, then think about my next steps.
