Taemin: First..uhmm…I think I get to reflect on myself. If I think about it too much, I feel like I’ll get depressed.
Kai: Taemin? He worries a lot. A lot.
Ravi: He worries a lot, I mean going off as a solo artist means that you are really (doing it) alone.
SangHoon: As SHINee, the five members would share the loneliness and burden together. (However) Now he needs do it alone, (of course) it would be lonely, burdening and difficult.
Minho: For that part, I feel like it’s a problem (Taemin) should solve by himself. While performing as a solo artist this time, he should try to solve it, get used to it.
JongHyun: What I felt when discussing about the album (with Taemin) is that this was a good opportunity for him to mature psychologically and internally instead of trying to appear grown and mature in front of others as a solo artist or as an entertainer.
Taemin: That was how I began dancing, and that’s how I got to know other artists such as Michael Jackson. From then on, I think I did have desire (to be a solo artist). This may sound conservative, but as a man (I asked myself) shouldn’t you do it alone? Should’t you be able to? Since long ago, I did not think it was good to depend on others. Of course I’m thankful (for others’ help), but I would feel a little ashamed of myself.
