King of Cooking Taeyong
I don’t have any new recipes for broadcasting. I showed you my kalguksu noodles that we had at home. Recently, I made a lot of food for NCT members. I made a bowl of rice with steak and soy sauce noodles. Yesterday, we had kimchi stew on <Food Diary>. It was really delicious so I made it for my members. I don’t want my members to eat poorly. As long as I’m in the mood, I want to cook.
Unexpected Discovery
Many people watched <Food Diary> and many said that I look so different from what you see on stage. I think my image is a bit new (laughs), because there are images being broadcast differently. I usually like to cook as well as making something and it seems like fans find this image interesting. By the end of the broadcast, the <Food Diary> members said, “the first impression of you is different from what we know now.” haha.
NCT127’s Leader
As the leader of the NCT 127 and also one of the hyung line of 18 members, instead of giving them advice like this and that, I try to act and show them examples. Because NCT has a lot of teams, we often have different periods of activity. So we had to spend a lot of time for the members to practice individual choreography. After our schedule, we get together and practice until we sweat. I think this is where I can help them as a hyung.
Trust and Will
During my time as a trainee, I had a desire to try and solve problems. But after being NCT 127 leader, I remembered those days and thought it would be better to trust and rely on our members to get through the tough times (laughs). There’s not much I can do on my own. We have our dreams big. It’s also a dream that we all have to do together.
