Seunghun: Our preparation process is definitely long… but once we reach the point where our movements sync perfectly during practice, it’s incredibly rewarding and fun.

5. Something I’ve always wondered: you spend long hours on stage and travel across many countries. Naturally, that must disrupt your eating habits. How do you cope with this?

8. If you weren’t a dancer, what profession would you have chosen?

Seunghun: I’ve actually never really thought about that… but I’m definitely not someone who can sit still ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (hahaha). So I’d probably be working somewhere in the arts, haha.

9. What is your goal for the future?

Seunghun: My aim is to stay devoted to the work I’m given and to reach higher levels through dance.

10. What advice would you give to someone just starting out in dance?

11. What do you think is the hardest part of being a dancer?

Seunghun: The instability of the profession can definitely be challenging.

12. Could you walk us through your choreography process? What inspires you?

13. Have you ever been to Turkiye before? What are your thoughts about it?

Seunghun: Ah! It’s actually one of the countries I really want to visit! I’ve heard the landscapes are beautiful, and I’d love to see them with my own eyes. Plus, aren’t we considered brother nations? Haha.
