Q&A with ARISE

Today is a big day. After months of being in the hall of fame, it is time for ARISE to answer questions from the fans, who have been supporting the group since the first debut and the fandom keeps growing, thus pushing ARISE to improve and never stop feasting them in awe. If someone asks any of the fans what they like about the band so much, they'll answer these things: the lyrics, the brilliance of songwriting, the catchy beats, the choreography, the manager, the charisma among the boys, the pleasing personalities, the voices, and many other things that are past one's fingers.

But of course, there are tons of things that fans do not, yet wish to know about the boys who had stolen their hearts.

So, KHA — the company ARISE worked under — decided to commence a special event and posted in the band's page about the upcoming Q&A session with the five members themselves and the fans are free to send any questions they'd like to know from them.

And the questions are past 1k.

Since there is no way those one thousand questions shall be answered, Woo Jin-chul suggests the production should shuffle the questions and pick up to twenty questions. In that way, everything will be fair and if the company allows it, the rest of the unanswered questions will be used in the next Q&A.

The live streaming begins at Saturday, 10:00 AM. Millions of watchers are already awaiting and spamming the comments section. The set is simple and it only include five stools and a table in the center filled with bowls of small snacks and some drinks since answering all twenty questions won't be finished in less than eight minutes. If anything, the manager estimates that the live stream will be more than ten minutes.

The comments grow rapid when the members finally appear in the set. From left to right, there are Byung-gyu, Lim Tae-gyu, Choi Jong-in, Baek Yoon-ho, and Sung Jin-woo. Byung-gyu, Tae-gyu, and Jin-woo have gone for hoodies whereas Yoon-ho wears a t-shirt and Jong-in, being the man he is, has chosen to dress in a suit with black trousers and a peach shirt, minus the blazer. Everyone can tell their personalities just from their style of clothing.

Let the Q&A begin!

[ Welcome, viewers and fans of ARISE! Today, we will be getting to know about the members. We will pick a random question and read it out loud and have the boys answer it, unless you have dedicated it to a particular name, so enjoy and may your question be chosen! First, let's have the members introduce themselves. ]

MBG: hey, everyone! I'm Min Byung-gyu!

LTG: and I'm Lim Tae-gyu! *finger guns*

CJI: Choi Jong-in.

BYH: Baek Yoon-ho. *winks*

SJW: and I'm Sung Jin-woo.

[ first question— what do you do in your free time? This is for you all, by the way. ]

MBG: oh! I play with my dog, Coco, and play some guitar.

LTG: sleep.

CJI: read some articles.

BYH: go to the gym.

SJW: watch movies or play games.

[ to Lim Tae-gyu, a fan asked— do you have a sport? ]

LTG: yes! Before archery, I used to play tennis a lot, which was how I got a scholarship to college. I still play, but it's merely a hobby for me now.

[ to Min Byung-gyu— how does it feel like being the youngest of the group? ]

MBG: *chokes on his peanut*

LTG: AHAHAHAHAHA!

BYH: BWHAHAHHA OH MY GOD!

SJW: yeah, Byung-gyu! How does it feel like to be the youngest?

CJI: he's our little bro, as you can see.

MBG: ARE YOU SURE THAT QUESTION IS FOR ME?! There has to be a mistake—

[ no, it says here that the question is dedicated to Min Byung-gyu. ]

MBG: . . .

LTG, BYH, SJW, & CJI: *keep on laughing*

MBG: *sighs* it's. . . Fine, I guess?

CJI: look! Even our manager is laughing!

[ to Baek Yoon-ho— what's your favorite animal? ]

BYH: white tiger. No questions asked.

LTG: this man literally has a giant white tiger plushie in his bedroom.

BYH: quit exposing me.

[ to all— if you can describe yourself in one word, what will it be? ]

LTG: hilarious. I laugh at myself while everyone else doesn't.

BYH: strong.

MBG: I'd like to choose 'kind'.

LTG: pfft~~

CJI: fierce.

BYH: can't argue with that. You tried to argue with someone before the live stream.

CJI: they are just so insulting.

SJW: hmm. . . Quiet.

MBG: dude, our manager just gave you a side-eye.

[ to Sung Jin-woo— what is your type? ]

SJW: type? You mean, like blood?

BYH: *spits out his drink*

CJI: *glares at Yoon-ho* gross!

LTG: *snorts* you need to watch romance movies, Sung.

SJW: what's with what I said?

MBG: *laughs* the question means what is your preferences in terms of dating!

SJW: oh!

CJI: I apologize, viewers. Our friend here is not too absorbed to romance. He only likes chaos.

SJW: hmm. . . I guess someone who is kind.

The rest of the members: . . .

BYH: wow, so specific.

[ to Choi Jong-in— if you are not an idol, what will your career be? ]

CJI: I guess I would've been an accountant. I was raised in a family that handles finances, anyways.

LTG: does that mean you're good in math?

CJI: . . . Yes.

LTG: then can you answer two thousand, five-hundred fifty-two divided by three in five seconds?

CJI: next question please!

[ to Min Byung-gyu— who do you take inspiration for your love songs? ]

The boys: ohhhhhh

BYH: spill it, hyung!

LTG: tell us who is the mystery girl!

MBG: *rolls eyes* I take inspiration from the love my parents had for each other, thank you very much.

SJW: that sounds like 10% of your inspiration.

CJI: it wouldn't hurt to drop a hint!

MBG: no.

LTG: you're no fun. . .

MBG: you'll know it eventually. Maybe after fifty years.

The rest: *groans*

[ to all— how would you describe your manager? ]

MBG: oh, a question about Mr. Woo.

LTG: I would say if my mother can possess someone, it would be Mr. Woo. He's a freaking helicopter.

BYH: Mr. Woo can either be your biggest motivator or the person who will bring you down the most.

MBG: I can't imagine anyone else handling this group, but him only.

CJI: he has great hair. I saw his hair without having gel once, so needless to say, I think fans will go crazy.

SJW: have you snapped a photo of it, though?

CJI: no. If I did, what would you do?

SJW: *grins wickedly*

LTG: Sung, it's your turn.

SJW: oh, yeah! Uhm— I'll describe our manager as. . . A workaholic!

Everyone:

CJI: well, he's not wrong.

[ to all— who would you rather be on a stranded island with? The answer must be within the group. ]

CJI: within the group? Geez, I don't think any of us can even survive alone. So, I'll just skip the question.

LTG: Yoon-ho! Not only I will have a brave companion, I will also have a protector.

MBG: I'll pick Yoon-ho too.

SJW: I pick myself.

BYH: I'd choose Tae-gyu. Jong-in will just complain about everything until I will be forced to throw him as a bait if anything attacks us.

CJI: excuse me?!

[ to Sung Jin-woo— if you could save only ONE member of ARISE, who would it be? ]

SJW: me.

LTG: wow! You haven't thought of it, huh?

SJW: of course. Why would I save any of you?

MBG: okay, who taught you how to play the guitar?

BYH: who taught you more workouts, huh?

CJI: who helped you pick your clothes that aren't black?

LTG: and who got your damn back when our manager is mad at you and you are not there?

SJW: . . .

The rest: HMM???

SJW: . . . N— next question!

[ to all— what is Mr. Woo's favorite color? ]

All: . . .

BYH: that's the question?

[ yes. ]

CJI: damn, I barely know a single thing about our manager.

LTG: all I know is his attitude.

MBG: and his temper.

SJW: does coffee count as color?

[ to all— what is Mr. Woo's word? ]

CJI: can it be words instead?

[ sure thing, Choi Jong-in. ]

CJI: *places his glass down and clears his throat* WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET IT RIGHT!

LTG: MR. SUNG! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO?!

MBG: I can name a few, but "no" is what I frequently hear from his mouth.

BYH: *tries to imitate Jin-chul's voice and puts his hands on his hips* Yoon-ho, what did I say about this and that?

SJW: if you don't sit down, I'll hit you with a shoe.

[ to Baek Yoon-ho— is Mr. Woo single? ]

BYH: woah, someone asked me about my manager's status? I mean, have you seen this man on a date with someone? He hardly leaves the building like it's his house. I don't think he's that into romance.

SJW: are you kidding? I caught him crying in his office last week. Turned out, he was watching The Notebook.

The rest: *gasp*

BYH: he's so single. . .

[ to Lim Tae-gyu— what is Mr. Woo's type in women? ]

LTG: I don't even know my type either, let alone my manager's. Guys, do you think he has a type?

SJW: if I knew, then I would've set him up on blind dates by now.

CJI: so you can do whatever you want without him yelling at you?

SJW: exactly!

MBG: I don't know either. Mr. Woo is way too committed on his job.

BYH: ahahaha! Seems like Mr. Woo is unavailable, ladies.

[ to all— what Mr. Woo's favorite food? ]

CJI: why do I have a feeling that the rest of the questions are about our manager?

SJW: favorite food? The only food I see in his hand is coffee.

MBG: Mr. Woo never tells us what his favorite food is. Maybe he's not a picky eater. . .

CJI: his favorite food depends on what snack he stores in our shared fridge.

BYH: I think he often goes on diets.

LTG: Mr. Woo eats??

[ to all— who is Mr. Woo's favorite member? ]

SJW: there is a member I don't know about??

LTG: our manager literally hates our guts.

BYH: especially Jin-woo. He is the root of Mr. Woo's headaches.

SJW: why me? Excuse you, each of us have at least boiled his blood. Nobody is innocent among us.

CJI: I was going to say Byung-gyu, but then I remember he put dog food on Mr. Woo's bowl.

MBG: IT WAS UNINTENTIONAL!!! The bowl looked a lot like Coco's so I thought it belonged to my dog.

BYH: why would you have a ceramic bowl for your dog??

MBG: it was on sale. And since it has flower designs, I had to buy it because Coco likes anything that has flowers.

CJI: you are such a fur parent. . .

[ to all— would you like to have Mr. Woo perform on stage? ]

SJW: if he has to perform alone, then I allow it.

CJI: yes.

BYH: yes.

MBG: yes.

LTG: yes! He's a perfectionist, so I think he can handle it.

[ last question of this interview! ]

LTG: please don't let it be about our manager. . .

[ to all— which object does Mr. Woo carry all the time? ]

LTG: damn! I guess I'll have to say papers. Mr. Woo carry those everywhere he goes and sometimes, he'll roll them up before hitting someone with it.

CJI: hair gel. That man may lack in sleep, but he never fails to style his hair so flawlessly.

MBG: coffee. Nobody loves coffee more than our manager.

SJW: sunglasses. He uses them to cover his nonexistent eyebags and menacing glare.

BYH: if Jong-in said hair gel, then I'll have to say comb. He cares more about his hair than us and his sleep combined.

[ and that was it! Thank you, fans, for joining us and watch our beloved band answer your questions. But don't worry! The rest of the questions will be answered in part two! So, any final remarks, guys? ]

LTG: thank you for the questions, everyone! Even though most of them are for our manager, we had fun exposing him.

MBG: I second that! And maybe next time, if there are any questions dedicated to me, it won't lead to embarrassment.

BYH: as if! You still owe us a complete answer to the person behind your love songs! Anyways, see you all next time, and thank you for supporting our band always.

CJI: always watch out for our upcoming projects, everyone!

SJW: drink water, sleep, and don't be like our manager. Thank you!
