How would you describe your everyday routine?

Which musician or artist do you admire the most?
NaYe: Erm, I like BTS!! I also like IU! Because there is no reason why. They are just so good at singing, for real!
Jaehee: I respect and admire IU sunbaenim. Some of my favorite songs are what IU wrote, so I want to take after her and write songs myself.
Sarang: I admire BTS and IU. I respect the fact that BTS never gave up and made themselves known around the world. I want to take after IU because she’s so good at singing and acting.
Siyoon: IU sunbaenim.
Chaemin: BTS, because they’re so cool – great at dancing and singing.
What is your favorite VITAMIN song?
NaYe: VITAMIN – Sea. Since the song came out during the summer, it’s cool and refreshing. It drives away the hot weather! Ha ha.
Jaehee: My fav VITAMIN song is Now I know. I personally think this song is the best and we seem more mature than when we released Your Dream, My Dream.
Sarang: Exciting Sports Day! It was the first song that I recorded when I joined VITAMIN, so it sticks to my mind the most.
Siyoon: VITAMIN – Sea was my first single and the fast tempo of the song is so uplifting.
Chaemin: Exciting Sports Day – because it was my first single since starting out as a VITAMIN member.
Tell us about any funny episode that happened while on stage.
NaYe: When I was presenting a performance, I was supposed to say the question first but I skipped it and said the answer first. Does anyone else recall?
Jaehee: When I had just joined VITAMIN, we were supposed to present our greeting all at once but I went on ahead and did it by myself. It was embarrassing but a fun experience.
Sarang: I got hit by Chaemin by accident while we were dancing. Looking back, it was so funny.
Siyoon: We were in Jeju Island performing, and I thought because it’s a tourist area there won’t be that many fans for us. But there were quite a lot of our fans there and they cheered for us, which was a great experience.
Chaemin: We took some time to talk to some fans during the performance, so we played games and danced our choreography. It was really fun.
What do you like to do for a hobby?
NaYe: I like to cook!! I like making things so these days, my hobby is cooking. I am not that good but with a lot of practice I mean to improve.
Jaehee: I like to draw. I sometimes draw the cute dogs owned by the members.
Sarang: Cooking! It’s fun when someone appreciates the food you make and it makes it so worthwhile.
Siyoon: I’ve been learning the guitar these days and I practice each time I get a chance because it’s fun.
Chaemin: I play lego and do origami these days.
What is your favorite food/beverage?
NaYe: I love live octopus! I love to eat seafood and live octopus is my fav! I also love ionic drinks like Pocari Sweat.
Jaehee: I like lemonade and chicken! I love lemonade so much that I used to drink it often when used to practice cover dances. Chicken is not only tasty but I also like how the family eats it during the night and get the time to talk with one another.
Sarang: Shabu-shabu has both soup and noodles that I love. Fermented soybean paste soup is what I also love to eat. I love Natto for desert and like to drink cool plum juice and lemonade.
Siyoon: I enjoy Korean meals that my grandmother and parents cook me at home. My grandmother’s kimchi is simply the best. I also love barley tea and corn tea.
Chaemin: I love bibimbap and soda for drinks.
What is your favorite color and why?
NaYe: Purple and blue!!! Because purple is mysterious and blue is cool and refreshing lol.
Jaehee: I like mint the best. Before, I was never interested in the color but the management set it as my main color so I got interested in it and began loving it.
Sarang: Purple, because it left a big impression on me when V said “Let’s trust and love each other for a long time.” After that, purple became a special color for BTS, then it became a color I love as well.
Siyoon: Yellow, because it symbolizes me in VITAMIN.
Chaemin: Sky blue. It reminds me of looking into the sky and it soothes my mind. ^^
What movies, books and musicals have you enjoyed recently?
NaYe: I am really into actress Park Bo-young these days because she’s such an actress.
Jaehee: Peter Pan the novel stays in my mind the most. I read it when I was younger but I get a different feeling reading it this time around.
Sarang: A Resistance was a movie that I watched recently. I got to see how Ryu Gwansun protected the nation and how she was tortured for it.
Siyoon: Mal-Mo-E: The Secret Mission. I loved how the characters risked their lives in order to protect Hangul. I also enjoyed the novel Daddy-Long-Legs.
Chaemin: Little Women was a heartwarming movie about a family. It also left a big impression on me that Jo became a writer and fulfilled her dreams later on.
What would be your future goals and plans?
NaYe: Do the best like we’ve always done… and would want to try harder to show better performances. Please stay with us.
Jaehee: We want to work hard and show better performances for our fans.
