whole world blaming yohan stans who couldnt accept his new group but none thought about the feelings of these people. you dont know how much heartbreaks and crying we (me) went through after jan 6; you dont know how difficult was it to hold on without knowing whats gonna happen next, you dont know how does it feel to watch back old contents again and again just to hold on; you don't know how does it feel when you could only feel closer to your idol through magazine interviews only. you dont know how sad is it to see your friends you knew started leaving one by one.
you get happy for any simple contents of him; you stay up for him; without knowing when is the end coming. the end where you can finally see the rainbow together with your idol.
and suddenly you get a news that you will be seeing him with some random ppl you dont even know; suddenly you are forced to like ppl you have zero interest in; you were confident that you could give him the best if he's coming out alone again but suddenly everything crushed.
ppl start forcing you and blaming you on every single thing you do; ppl start telling you that its your fault if you can't 'unconditionally' like yohan, ppl tell you this and that; but ppl forget, fangirling/ fanboying is about gaining happiness as well. people who poured in everything they could, do not deserved to be call fake fans just because they refused to fake their feelings to accept whats going on. you have no idea what happened so you don't have any rights to judge as well.
just like this post is written because i feel like that. because its about me, and not about you.

how does it feel to be chosen as tony moly's muse? yohan: firstly, i wanted to do a beauty-related photoshoot, so i'm thankful and honoured for the chance. although i'm still lacking a lot, i want to show my hardworking side as a beauty model.
you did photoshoot with various concepts. how does it feel like to show more shocking looks, which couldn't be seen from other photoshoots? yohan: all the while i mainly did natural photoshoots. but this time, i got to try on various different strong make ups so it was nice, and fun. it was good to show looks that i couldn't show before.
as your occupation requires a lot of make up, do you have any special tips on skin care? yohan: i don't have any special management. after schedules i would just wash up cleanly. since there are many times where my make up is thick/ strong, i pay attention to cleansing. for skin care i only put on toner and lotion.
it's almost 1 yr since your debut, 1 year is not really long but seemed like you would have a lot of changes, how do you feel? in the 1 year span, i think it had the biggest changes in my life. even until last year, i got to my current position which i'm thankful of. there's many things i feel and learnt. i also learnt that everything in this world is not easy as i think. of course i think that there's still a long way to go. i want to work hard and show good sides of me, as much as the love i'm getting.
july, the start of summer, is there anything you want to do? now that we're having a hard time now (due to the pandemic), i hope this time past faster. most of all, i want to meet with my fans closely and communicate with them. i also want to show cool stages. i also wish to communicate with fans through music.
Is this the first group photoshoot for you all? yohan: i only had individual photoshoots before, so it's fun filming in a group. filming alone is kinda lonely (laugh), it was nice having people to talk to.
Do you feel like a team since you're filming a group photoshoot? since you all joined the produce series and received spotlight. yohan: i think it definitely become more familiar standing in front of the spotlight. photoshoots, and of course broadcasts felt more comfortable. although i still lack a lot. (laugh)
do you have any angle or pose that you love in photoshoots or on stage? yohan: i usually prefer the left side of my face, but i also do various angles upon requests.
how long had you been together? yohan: what do you mean similar? i'm more senior by 1 year (group laugh)
what do you guys play when you meet? yohan: kart rider. it's a cute racing game.
who's the best game player? yohan: everyone is good. we don't play together with low-rankers (laugh).
all of you got recognised through the produce series etc., your individual fandom is active too. do you think that you all can debut as a team now? yohan: we haven't properly started the preparation for debut. we're still on individual schedules.
if you would want a ability from the person next to you? daehyeon: yohan's firm physical looked cool. his singing and rapping balance is nice, and his eyes, nose, lips are well-defined too. yohan: donghan's is a great dancer. he's cool riding the rhythm. his dance line is cool, sense is good, and he could choreograph. his limbs are long, so there would be nice silhoulettes when he's dancing.
what is the most important to you when practicing dancing together? yohan: when group dance are matched, and when details stand out.
is it nice being together? yohan: the best is i get to tell the worries easily to the members. since there's trust like brothers, and friends.
is there a nickname for you to call each other? yohan: kim muggle, bunny, bbiyo,, there's many of them. since fans gave (these nicknames) to me, i'm thankful and couldn't choose only one of it.
do you have a role model? yohan: i also think v-sunbaenim looked cool on stage too. his facial expression on stage is good, so i really want to be like him. he's good, really. (laugh) daehyeon: (talks about his mum) yohan: my dad is my role model too. are you going to be like this alone? (group laugh)
will there be news revealed any sooner? donghan: (my birthday soon) yohan: ah~ he had been talking about his birthday since just now (group laugh).
How are you doing recently? i'm happy that i could go nearer to fans musically through <war of villain>, which i'm a part of the fixed cast. i'm also focusing so that i could show more of my good sides.
today's concept was a fresh one which could remind us about school days, how was yohan's school days? rather than being fresh like today's concept, i was a student who focused on sports. everyday was tiring because of sports. i practised every single day, from day to night, i only did sports. now my stamina isn't as good as i were back then, but sports was really everything during my school days.
would you go back (to the days) if you're asked to? but it was still fun back then. since there was many times where i find small happiness despite the exhaustment. till now, i'm still close with friends i knew back then. somehow maybe they're friends/ seniors that trained together, so there's something like a strong bond. i think that's why our friendship is deep too. since i experienced living in a group since primary school, sometimes being alone felt kind of awkward too. haha
recently there's more time to stay at home. what do you usually do at home? i'm the type who barely comes out from my room. i kinda like lying alone listening to music, and playing games. recently, if i dont have schedules i try not to go around, and i try to be careful. i hope that my fans would do that too (laughs). i'm actually absorbed in mobile games and nano blocks, it'd be nice if my fans spend their time with small hobbies like these too.
it must be a big pity for not being able to meet your fans closely. until half a year ago, i communicated (with fans) frequently, or through official meetings or music broadcasts, i could talk with them. but it's a pity that i lost those healing times. so, i'm working hard to meet them in other ways such as live broadcasts or other contents.
you are filming <war of villain> too, wouldn't it be difficult working with veteran singers? since <war of villain> is a project-based show rather than a talk show, so it wasn't that difficult. i felt more comfortable being able to join in naturally.
since you officially joined a variety show, is there any memorable comments or special reactions to you? while i appear officially on shows, i didn't have much chances to show myself musically. i always felt that it's a pity that i could only show myself on variety shows or magazines. now through <war of villain>, i'm really happy that i could show more of the music-related side of me, and learn many things too. i also started to pay more attention to rap making.
there must be many that you could learn while being with senior musicians. actually no matter who i get to work with, it's always my honour. i just don't want to cause any trouble. while watching (song)gain-nuna sing, i could only be impressed. jessi-nuna who naturally rides on the flow while rapping or singing, i think i'm learning about that while watching.
is there any variety show you want to join? i want to join shows like tvn's <new journey to the west>. i want to play their witty/brilliant games too.
are you the competitive kind? rather than being competitive, i'm the kind who motivates myself. even when i did sports too, rather than comparing myself with my opponent, i always wanted myself to do well first. i think maybe that's why i'm like this now. i think it's important that i do well and try my best.
you are showing various yohan's through broadcast and magazines. i wished that i could catch many bunnies (try everything). for now, i'm paying more attention to the music side. i wanted to prioritize my activities as an idol more, and wanted to built a stronger base in terms of music.
you looked like you're close with your company members. since we are all close, it's comfortable and nice. the chemistry is good too (laugh).
is there any words that give yohan the most strength nowadays? my fans reactions to my performance in <war of villain> became great strength to me. they drenched my thirst to be judged on musically; seniors in the show, including lee sangmin and jessi-nuna, all told me that i did well, so it became strength to me, and i strive to work harder.
you want to stand on stage as soon as possible right? yes. i want to stand on stage as soon as possible and meet my fans too.
seemed like you have an artist who you want to resemble. i want to learn and resemble v-sunbaenim in terms of stage and performances. he's cool. he's exactly an idol, and show great performances like an artist. i really like zico-sunbaenim on the music side. it's cool that he's the player and also the producer. i want to resemble that too. i used to perform rap that are already written, and never imagined that i could be making them. but once, twice, since i started, i was able to do it too. at first i took 1 hour for 2 lines, but for now, once i got the first line, the rest just flow out like water. when i show it to someone, and get positive response, it's satisfying and enjoyable, so i'm happy everyday.
is there something you're focusing on nowadays? definitely rap making. i need to write my rap in the project from <war of villain>, so i really focused on it a lot.
what are the things that differs the most before and after debut? the biggest would be the public recognizing me. that's the biggest difference, and inside there's many things which changed. to achieve what i want, there are things that i have to give up; to do well in broadcasts or music, i think i have to put in a lot of effot. but still, when i go out, i would be back to normal person kim yohan. i don't really remind myself that i'm a celebrity.
it's almost 1 yr since your debut, how do you feel? in the 1 year span, i think there's big and various changes in my life. i also learnt that everything in this world is not easy as i think.
your one year definitely flew fast. what was your happiest moment? when i gave my parents pocket money after working hard, i was really happy. it's being filial. i was really satisfied. maybe because i only started activities for a year, i don't really feel it, and i think i still lack a lot. but i still want to monitor myself and find points that i could change and improve myself.
while promoting for a year, did you discover a new side of yourself? when i was showing cutesy side of myself? i still can't get used to it seeing myself (being cute) on broadcasts. even my friends who did sports together with me would contact me and tease me.
since you debuted after gaining enormous popularity, the public would had high interest in everything you did. it must be burdensome for the past whole year. i don't think of their interest as a burden. i feel grateful for such great amount of love given to me, and would like to repay them.
is there anything you want to achieve by this year? i really want to stand on stage. i really wish to communicate with fans through music. i think my biggest wish would be being able to meet fans on stage.
is there anything you want to say to your fans? as per current situation, i hope fans could hold on for a little more and wait for me. i hope that they would be healthy. i'm also being careful so that i could meet fans healthily. i hope that my fans could do so too.
At Yangyang, to Yohan A day where the wind blows. we met kim yohan at yangyang. the sun was warm, but the wind was cold; on this peculiar day, at a beach with no one around, kim yohan smiled coolly.
The world had changed. There's more time at home, and following that there's more thoughts, and people start reading. What kind of changes you encountered? I had many worries. and it disturbs me the most that I couldnt meet my fans. since idol is an occupation that exist thanks to fans. i also gave up a fanmeeting, which i was desperate for. at a situation when the whole nation is under threat, it couldn't be stubbornly carried out. actually my heart is glummed. so i alwasy try to tell my thoughts and sincereness to my fans through interviews. i also want to show fans the sides they want to see.
You received a huge amount of love not long after you debuted. it's not something common in this field. do you feel any burden? i feel burdened. i got results which are way better than my ability, and received much love. at first i was really burdened, but now im decided to be a person that could fulfill all the expectations. im trying my best to attain the expectations of my fans.
what are the fans expectations? now, wouldn't they want to see me as an idol? it had been a while since i stood on stage. i only want to stand on stage as soon as possible. when i'm watching other seniors' stages, or even watching my stage videos last time again, makes me overwhelmed with emotions.
let's try talking about the past. what kind of person kim yohan is, before choosing to become an idol? what kind of music you listened to? last time i liked relaxed music. before i sleep i mostly listen to ballad. calm music. before i switched my lane into an idol, i only did sports. i was a taekwondo athlete. i really thought about taekwondo only (laughs).
did you really think about taekwondo only when you were a taekwondo athelete? yes. i thought that i have to live while doing taekwondo. i was a person who have nothing to talk about except taekwondo. at first, a national representative was my aim. but slowly, my dreams turned into living concerns. i tried calculating the wages from a business team, i also thought that i should become some instructor. i planned out my life based on taekwondo. but now i became an idol (laughs).
it's difficult to estimate how life goes on. it's true. its unpredictable. people around me are also fascinated by my life. i don't feel taht fascinated, but others are surprised. since a sports person suddenly became an idol.
do you have any regrets about sports? no. it was hard. but i still follow taekwondo sites now. when i watch match videos of other athletes, i would feel like playing. i would want to try playing for at least once, but now i might not be able to do it because it's hard.
how did your athlete experience influence your idol activity? sports was definitely more exhausting physically. my stamina built from sports came in helpful. i also received compliments saying that i'm powerful when im dancing, i think it's thanks to taekwondo. should i call it endurance? stress management, maintaining good concentration; these semmed like the good influence from doing sports.
you're experiencing a new field. there'll be areas that you would know more. what are the things you're curious now? i want to run a shop. i always wanted to try working in a cafe. in the past, i didnt get to try working part time since i was doing sports. bbq restaurant, or cafe, i would like to try working part time in these places.
why are you curious about working part time? it was during high school, i had some event which i needed money. there's something i wanted to buy but i didn't have enough money. its still far from the day i get my pocket money, so i worked part time in a lunchbox shop. i fried meatballs and pancakes, and also wrapped lunchboxes. i worked from 8.30am to 6pm. and i earned 80000won (65USD). it was really tiring, but the tiredness disappear immediately when i received my pay. i then realised that earning money is not easy.
do you want to experience earning money the hard way again? haha. not like that. i really needed money back then. but now i want to run a cafe and personally brew coffee for my fans.
so how about becoming an idol? is there any charm of working as an idol? being on stage is no joke. i was shocked hearing the cheers on stage. i thought that i really need to do well. the cheers made me feel alive.
i think that being an idol is an occupation which gets judged all the time. facial expression and actions, attitude etc even small things get judged. since you lived your life competing as an athelete, seemed like you would have tolerance against judgements. athlete and idol slightly differs. judgement during athelete days only happen in the taekwondo field. we got judgements from teachers, and only get judgement from the nation after becoming a national athlete. but as an idol, the area of judgement is way much broader. we get judgement from fans all over the world. that difference is enormous.
if you get love from people you dont know, your sight of the world might differ. my responsibility grew extremely big. since there's many who trust and like me, i musn't cause disappointment. that's also my aim. i'm the kind who don't have the self awareness that i'm a celebrity. there's signatures on the wall at famous restaurants right? i saw that and said that seemed like many celebrities came over before, and my manager hyungs reminded me that im a celebrity too (laughs).
what provocates kim yohan? i provocate myself. i dont really mind external attentions. i get angry at myself if something i want to do don't work out. so i must achieve my targets. no matter what others say, i get provocated and setttle the problems myself.
do you have a strong self-confidence? but i don't raise my own self-confidence. i have a optimistic character. even if there's a probelm i don't try to win over it.
i thought you would be sensitive about winning. since you were a competition athlete. in competitions i would definitely want to win. but since i quitted sports, that greed (for winning) disappeared. when i started being an idol, rather than confidence, i was motivated by my pride. i didn't have the greed to compete and win over anyone.
you would have many worries about your future. where are you looking for? now my position is being an idol. i would be showing myself as an diol. i would also show a new side of me on variety shows, and also meet fans. and for a few years later, i don't know what will i be doing, but i'll always have the wish to challenge acting.

without any prejudice i solve my doubts without any words the letters were written becoming water ripples which flows the memories at the great east river were cherished im flying uh look im rising up soon resentment sure resentment uh my starting is already half way light up the fire i never stopped lift up the charm i never hide them
the flash had been ignited, what left is to run; let's get to the top this fire would be passed on as it is; hoping that you become the water of the great east river and return; hoping even the echoes could be heard; hoping that my heart is always contented; so lets try pushing it through once, as i will relieve my resentments, on top of your heads.
난 편견없이 주제를 풀지 할 말도 없이 써내려간 편지 흐르고 흐르는 물결이 됐지 대동강에 추억을 간직했지 난 날아 uh 봐라곧 받아 반란 한 그래 한 uh 난 시작이 반이야 불이 붙어 멈춘 적 없어 멋을 올려 감춘 적 없어 플래쉬는 이미 켜졌고 뛰어오를 일만 남았어 let's get to the top
이 불은 그대로 전해져 대동강의 물결이 되어 돌아오길 메아리라도 내게 들려오길 매순간에 내 가슴이 벅차길 그래 한 번 들이밀어 봐 너희들의 머리 위에서 내 한을 풀어 볼 테니까

bonus: lee sangmin's comment on yohan's rap lyrics ammendment "but theres not many like yohan, hes really really humble; usually people would change (the rap) to a more arrogant version, but for yohan, he did it really coolly, and changed it into a more warm version, so its really thankful"
"since i live alone, cooking smth for myself is bothering; and since the request for the show came in, so i happily accepted it. i could eat good food while filming so its nice" "i ate frozen pork belly during this filming. i really like meat. i ordered 2 portion but i finished them all so i ordered another. its my first time grilling and eating alone but it was a happy time"
Q&A
weight management is compulsory for idols, is there any burden for doing mukbang on 'eat out'? "no. since i like eating, i eat then control. if theres photoshoot ill control my diet according to the schedule. during 'eat out' filming, my schedule ended so i could eat as much."
you ate alone when filming, do you usually enjoy eating alone? "since i live alone so i usually eat alone. so im used to it. i ate frozen pork belly alone during filming. i really like meat. i ordered 2 portions but i finished so i added another. i enjoyed eating out with meat and rice. i grilled and eat meat alone for the first time, but it was a happy time."
kim yohan's mukbang point in 'eat out'? "focusing on my know how when eating pork belly would be nice. theres a tip of mixing ssamjang in soybean paste stew. mixing ssamjang with garlic is also a point. please check it out through the broadcast."
among fans 'yohan set menu (pork belly+ yoghurt smoothie) is famous. "tbh i didnt know there's a name called the 'yohan set menu' until this filming (laugh) im just thankful that they're interested. 'yohan set menu' is about having yoghurt smoothie after eating grilled pork belly, they dont match but its tasty. i really recommend it."
you met the 2 hosts of 'eat out' on diff shows before; how was the 2nd meeting? "kang hodong is a super big senior. duing 'eat out filming', im thankful as he gave me good words and took care of me. kang hodong is a senior in athlete too. so he took care of me and treated me comfortably. i was nervous but i could film easily.for hong hyunhee, i filmed another show tgt as a panel with her. like kang hodong, she took care of me and talked to me interestingly, so i could finish filming safely.
what do you think is the charm of 'eat out'? "i think the best is that i could eat good food. its a perfect show for me who have to eat alone"
since you ate alone, if you have to eat out with someone else, what do you want to eat? "i want to eat with my parents. menu would definitely be meat (laugh). i really like meat. eating with company staffs would be fun too."
final words for viewers? "altho i filmed 'eat out' alone but it was fun, so i hope you can watch it prettily. if you havent tried eating alone, its not bad so please try it once. please anticipate kim yohan on 'eat out'. thank you."
yohan born in 1999, doesn't know the producer, lee sangmin well
lee sangmin mentioned that recently there was an something thanks to yohan that made him felt good (didn't mention the event)
casting of music latecomers: the producer liked background stories, he casted people with greed and thirst for music
always working hard to show results every spisode, and the results would be shown via music.
Q&A 1. are there know-hows for working in new project group? yohan: "rather than know-hows im happy working with seniors i usesd to see on tv, i think that there'll be good results if i myself work hard. there's no really know-hows"
2. due to different things recently it might be hard for you yohan: true that it was hard, but it passed. since its the past, so ill let go and take it as a good experience; since the future is more important, so i think itll be fine if i do well in the future.
3. what are the strengths of the music latecomers? lee sangmin: there's someone i wanted to talk about when it's about strength, which is yohan. recently felt that he's really hardworking and also humble.
4. how did it feel to meet the senior musicans? yohan: i saw song gain on tv before, and greeted her at music shows before. but for song changshik, whom debuted on the same year my mum was born, so we didn't really cross paths. but through the vcr, he lived his years following rules, so i felt that he's really amazing.
5. do you feel the generation gap as the youngest? yohan: when the members first met, and they were talking about senior artists in the past, i could only stare into blank space (bc he doesnt know any of the people they were talking about LOL); kim sook treated me well and friendly even the camera was turned off.
6. who are the legendary musicians you want to meet? yohan: wanted to meet shin seunghoon; also crush, dean (to learn singing) and zico (to learn rap).
7. is there any plans for releasing the songs/ performances? producer: lee sangmin said that there would be stages, or really good things happening. there are also possibilities no matter releasing the song officially, or busking, or even meeting up with fans.
8. final greeting yohan: i'll be doing my part as the youngest member well in 'the villian'; to choose a point, lee sangmin always wanted to go to the music-side, but boom always stands in the opposite, so seemed like that could be a part that would be fun. please watch the show a lot.

BEHIND THE SCENES moments to fall for kim yohan again.
signature: to tenstar; the photoshoot very prettyㅎㅎ #half asleep-half awake "a not-fully-awake state" before the first photoshoot, while getting makeup fixed, perfect timing to #zone-out
envious #flower #joiningfandom #4types
#fingerheart byongbyong #mealso flower
#ang? im melting from that expression
#newphone. companies please look here. this is it. ((yes all the ads please come in))
#newculture what is this use for? there's no way yohan (born in 1999) to know.
#fanservice for tenasia readers, please anticipate the polaroid.
it's not easy for denim-denim fashion to shine.
#wolf? real man
this kind of yohan in bedrooms? #iwannabe #thebed #inyourroom #forajustaday #oh #baby ((lyrics from tvxq- hug))
"dont wear that jacket properly"
#tenasia may issue, 'thousand kind of faces' kim yohan working hard
(left) you haven't forgotten right? the centre of x1. (right) "dear fans, and tenasia readers, i love you all"
you had your photoshoot today with a sexy, while chic concept with buttons simply left open. seemed like you showed another charm, differing from the boyish beauty you used to show? actually i really like this kind of concept. not that i like exposing my body but i like strong concepts. shall i say i like strong and sexy faces? haha. thats why om very satisfied of the filming today. i also gain confidence since the make up today is strong too.
when you were asked to make vibes like jung woosung from the movie 'beat', your surprised face was cute. to kim yohan born in 1999, 'beat' is quite diffcult right? i surely know jung woosung sunbaenim, but i dont know the movie 'beat'. to be very honest, i only know the detergent 'beat'.(laughs)
'tenasia' readers had chosen kim yohan as the 'youth star'. ah really? i think they chose me since i had only been doing photoshoots with fresh and soft images. in previous photoshoots i did almost no make-up, and showed a lot of my innocent looks.
recently, your 10mil donation for prevention of covid-19 became an issue. i'm the kind who don't simply spend money, but spend when necessary only. even when eating out with my friends, i don't really like dutch-paying. especially when the situation now is bad. i donated as much as i could. leaving the amount aside, i hope people who needs it could use it more preciously.
usually idols get physical trainings since they're young, but kim yohan's background is quite unique. you became a trainee from a taekwondo athlete, and then debuted right away. shall we talk about your younger days? since my dad is a taekwondo coach, i naturally started taekwondo since i was young. i started the athlete life when i was 7, now thinking back about it, it seemed to be a natural course. while doing taekwondo, i dreamt about being a national representative. as i get a lot of expectations from people around me as i grow, i naturally thought that i need to be a taekwondo athlete.
what kind of child kim yohan is? rather than being active, i was a rather quiet child. a child who quietly did sports diligently.
you became a trainee when you even entered university by scholarship. how did you end up dreaming of being a singer? i didn't dream of it, just that i had been longing for it. i paid attention to the level that when i see singers on tv i would thought that 'wow they looked cool'. idols are really cool, but to me, i couldn't be an idol, so i felt like i was standing at the other side of the world? i received casting offers from various companies when i was 17, but i rejected them all. people around me told me 'what artist are you talking about. just do your taekwondo', and since i entered university with scholarship, so i only focused on it. in a moment of bewilderment, i met my current company, and they told me to start the next day after the meeting we had. i became a trainee, totally not knowing anything.
in a way you became an idol out of fate then? well i was lucky. this world is not that easy. (laugh)
since you were a taekwondo expectant, when you decided to give up the sport you did over the past 10+ years, people around you would have stopped you. even though you yourself confirmed and had confidence about it, there would have be negative responses, burden and anxiety as well. people who looked at me that time, probably thought that i was airbrained (being stupid). but i thought that whatever i do, it'll eventually work out. all responses around me were negative, but i thought that there would be a successful way, and since that everyone didn't agree on me, i clenched my teeth harder due to my pride.
going through pdx 101, to x1 promotions, now your position changed. now kim yohan became a longing to people who has the idol dream. after the program, a fan told me that he/she is envious, and thank you. when i asked why is he/she being thankful, he/she said that, there's a need and a want; and he/she chose the things she needed to do, rather that what she wanted to. but kim yohan did what he wanted, so the fan said he/she gained hope by seeing him. i was dazed, when i heard he/she said that he/she gained the courage to do what she wanted. i am not a great person, i have worries and burdens, but i'm really thankful that she gained courage by looking at me.
you said yourself that this world is not that easy, it was really hard when you suddenly started to learn singing and dancing after doing sports all this while, right? at first, it was really hard. the world of sports and entertainment totally differs. adapting to it was hard, and i even felt that i was totally left out. but now it's fine. i couldn't perfectly adapt, but i'm getting familiar to it.
you left a strong episode since your first appearance in pdx 101. you performed se7en's 'come back to me' with heelys. since i have nothing i could do confidently, so i used heelys. it was the best strategy for me, who can't sing, dance or rap. i practiced a lot on the heelys, and also on my singing.
what kind of mindset you had when you joined the survival program? i told my mother that i'm joining the show, and she told me 'it's okay to be eliminated. it's natural if you don't learn anything. it's fine no matter you get the 99th or 100th place. even your ranking only rised for a bit, it's all experiences'. i agreed to what my mother said too. since i was in the state where i know nothing, i would just unconditionally gain experience. it was a mind to learn and come back.
but you unexpectedly won the 1st. it really felt good. i was happy that i could show my parents my cool side. since my athlete days, my parents would always come to spectate matched. on the final live show, they came as usual. they always seen how i compete in matches, also how i injured, let alone winning or not. since i'm showing them for the first time, how their son receives cheers from fans, and performs coolly, it felt a lil weird. (laugh)
while you became the centre of x1, you nicely gave a strong punch to those who told you 'what artist are you talking about'. it must be thrilling? of course. it's about confidently saying 'yes' to people who told me 'can you mke it? it's a bang of head on a stone ground (cruelly frustrating).'. after the final episode, my mother cired and told me 'you should be happy, why didnt i let you do this earlier?; i might not receive this much love if i did it earlier, and i comforted her (which was not really comforting) that the timing was good.
'one who wears the crown must bear its weight', the results was glorious, but the process until this position must be really hard. you were the trainee in the talk, and due to the program's speciality, the journey wouldn't be as smooth. nowadays i don't search for my name, but i did a lot during pdx. but it was hard, because i was scolded for things i didn't do, and i wasn't able to deny unfounded rumours. due to hate comments and rumoured comments, i was stressed that i had panic attack for a while. i tend to avoid seeing people. and i really considered about quitting a lot. it was to the extent that my mum told me to quit faster, if i've decided to quit. but i held on with the mind 'let's do it until it works out'.
you must be proud of yourself for overcoming difficulties. uhm, i praised myself 'you worked hard, yohan-ah, it was a long journey.' haha.
last year you were active as the centre of x1. it was a short period of promotion, but how is it looking back? did you feel that you showed enough of your charm as a singer? i think that idol is about making the listening ears, and watching eyes enjoyable. on this part, i think i didn't satisfy my fans. in the middle of promoting as x1, i performed while sitting on a bench due to injury. actually that was kind of regretful.
from pdx to x1, all the times back then, what does it mean to kim yohan? it was a thankful program. without pdx, i wouldn't be receiving so much love, and wouldn't be able to experience the dream-like promotion as x1. while debuting as x1, i experienced a lot of things that felt like dreams. selling out seats at gocheok dome, performing overseas, getting 1st on music programs and also charting 1st on music charts, it was times that felt like a dream. those were overflowing emotions that couldn't be felt again. it was a pity that the promotion period is short, but i'm always thankful for it.
in the short span of a year, you had the chance to show your singing and variety shows. do you have greed on anything else? i want to show more of myself standing on stage as a singer. i also wanted to meet my fans more closely. there was a plan for fanmeeting, but it got dismissed due to covid-19. it was a pity, but fans' safety and health is the priority.
if there's a drastic change you could feel after debuting? i felt the love and attention im getting. there would be flooding likes and comments whenever i upload something on my social media. it's still fascinating. but my friends don't take me as a celebrity. i myself too, hate my friends treating me as a celebrity. i wish that they'll just treat me as kim yohan myself.
how do you release your stress? if i have worries, or i can't sleep, i would drink a can of beer. actually i think that time is medicine. when i was disturbed by the hate comments and rumours, i just stayed quiet. it would become nothing after time passes.
as a new start in 2020 is right in front, your mental state would be different. 'if things don't work out, do it until it works out. if i think i can do it, there's nothing i can't.' i did pdx with this thought. although i thought of giving up midway, but i held myself. i want to show various things to my fans, including music and actings. i felt like i just started lighting up a wick.
if there's something yohan wanna tell yohan? always live with humbleness. that's all.
what's kim yohan's ultimate dream? to built a villa for my parents. i want to earn a lot, buy my parents houses and built them a villa.
please say something to your fans. as i said before, after a long period of blank promotion, i started lighting up a wick. in the future, i hope fans could be the footprints of what yohan did and the path he goes. i love you. please be healthy.
🥕 his eating amount is similar with usual guys; he can share 4 pieces of cake with his friends after a meal. 🥕 when he eats he really eats a lot, but when he need to lose weight he really don't eat 🥕 his friendliness is amazing; once he sees a person he'll go like "oh hi we talked on the phone previously kyahang this is kinda awkward have you eaten?" 🥕 his friends would captured fans reactions and send it to him, teasing him with the nickname 'god yohan' and he would ask them to not tease him as 'god yohan' 🥕 he likes eating giblets so he asked his friends to eat giblets with him for 3 days and finally ate at seoul 🥕 he doesn't know why is he popular 🥕 his friend sent him a message saying he did super well after 'me after you' stage 🥕 kim yohan: likes human 🥕 his mindset: even people dislikes me, it's okay i'll be better 🥕 his smile looks so much better in real life 🥕 he knows all the hate comments to him, and thought that i'll just work hard then 🥕 his friend: 'just wanna say kim yohan is a good kid' 🥕 yohan likes all kind of meat, he even tagged that he wanted to eat bacon roll before.
"getting the 1st place on <produce x 101> was an unexpected huge result. when my name was called, i felt like i owned the whole world. it felt like fans chose me for me to grow. i'm someone who doesn't really excel, but since i slowly gained things that i could do, i thought that they trusted me on the thoughts of wanting to see me grow. i'm grateful to everyone. together with good mood, i thought that 'ah, it's the start now'."
you were chosen as the main character of <school 2020>. all the actors who previously took that place did well. its the reason the next main character, kim yohan would get all the attention. thats why. i have to do well too, i'm excited, but i'm more worried. somehow acting is a new field of challenge for you. which part is the most difficult? since acting itself is something new to me, so everything is unfamiliar. i only did the script reading, but haven't been to the filming site yet. so i couldnt try out the gestures or detailed parts with other actors. my biggest worry is on 'what to do' at the actual filming site. you're in process of making the main character 'taejin', what kind of person he is? the director told me 'just put the nametag taejin on yourself'. im doing that for now first. doesn't the actual me actually reflects 50% of him (taejin)? that would be a stormy period of adolescence right. did puberty came to kim yohan as well? i did slept a lot in class though (laugh). in my opinion there weren't. i totally don't remember going against my parents. but then my dad was also my coach. and he was super scary. but someday my dad told me 'your puberty period passed', when i kept asking him about it he just said he doesnt know and moved it on.
you appeared on <produce x 101> with short training period not long after you entered your company. differ from other trainees, everything must be new to you, didn't you felt anxious? very much. no joke. at first it was disturbing, 'i dont know anything, but why should i do to this extent?'. but thinking again, i thought of why i came. eventually i changed my mind 'in the given time, shouldn't me be working harder than others', it became easier. i would set a target for things, and it'll be fine when i work hard for it. audition programs are unavoidably competitions. getting a strong mentality is something must be done. i don't get jealous of others' achievements. even when i did sports, i didnt compare with others as rivals. i motivate myself, i don't get knocked down by others' achievement, nor get worried by them. how do i say it. im the kind who doesn't have inferiority complex. you sang 'me after you' on the program, the intro started by your voice is memorable. do you usually go to karaokes with your friends? of course. but i don't sing ballads or songs i really sing well if i go to the karaoke, since to me, karaoke is a place i could really have exciting fun. (laugh) ah. to keep the mood lifted. i would always choose that kind of song. but when it comes to time where 'now its tiring' and time to rest, i'll sing a few ballad songs.
22 years old. for your 20s which are getting filled up now, what are the most memorable events? when i was 20, i did sports. then joined <produce x 101> and X1. till now, ain't those the biggest events? you quitted taekwondo which you did all the while, and starting a new career path, i think its the biggest decision in your life. im still at my early twenties but i think there's a lot of turning point in my life. i put in all my life for taekwondo, but i gave that up, and now entering this path is not easy as well. quitting taekwondo is your decision. i think that it is about courage and challenge when you give something up. the biggest reason of quitting was injuries. somehow it's exhausting to get injured at the same place over and over again. that's why i thought about quitting a lot that time. before that i did wanted to be an idol. that's why everytime there's a casting offer, my heart gets moved bit by bit. also, i thought that 'do they really see the possibility in me?'. it could be me overthinking as well (laugh). coincidentally my scary dad was overseas. if he's in the country, i might still be doing taekwondo. how was your father when you talked about it, which wasn't easy to be mentioned? surprisingly, my dad told me that 'if there's a chance, then work hard for it'. till now i still don't know why he said so. but now my dad likes the most among my family members. he even uses my goods around.
i felt from the shooting today, you seemed like someone who isn't shy after talking to you. and you express your own personality well too. what do you think? i myself ain't the shy type of person. that's why i could confront people easily. i hang around with people well, and get close with them. that's a big strength. i don't really make enemies. if i think something's not right, i don't show hatred signs, and just stop attending to them. if the person knows i hate him, he might be talking bad things about me to others, and i might be misunderstood. do you express well to people you like too? surely. im the type who expresses. but i can't be too straightforward telling them that 'hey i like you'. you seemed like you would. since your likings are so distinct. i do express well for what i don't like. but those (express likings) are too embarassing anyways (laugh).
