interview

June 9th 2017

"Could I ask you two a few questions?" a woman asked, spotting the two songwriters walking down the sidewalk towards the nearby building framed "C.S Entertainment". Woojin was the first to turn around, changing his concerned expression to a happier one.

"Goodness, I though you were a police officer for a second," Woojin laughed, letting out a breath. Taeyang let out a laugh along with him.

"No, sorry," the woman said, shaking her head. "Sorry to disturb you guys."

"You're fine," Taeyang replied, not seeming to mind the single journalist's presence. She continued, a bit surprised.

"So F.O.X, your single 'BeBe' charted #7 upon its release and has risen to #1 within the recent hours. It has also charted #1 in four other countries. How does it feel to create another great hit?"

Woojin made a little smile, looking around. "Pretty good, but it's all thanks to my fans that my songs continue to do well."

The woman made a nod, smiling and continuing, "And your music video for 'BeBe' has hit 2 million views within the first hour."

"I'd credit that to Kwon Jimin - she's an extremely talented actress and is probably the reason any of this could've happened."

Taeyang gave a little nod from the back, attracting the interviewer's attention.

"You agree, 5UN?" she asked him.

"Taeyang is fine. And, well, of course Hyung had a great influence on the music video's success and so did Kwon Jimin. I mean, who can say they wouldn't enjoy a perfectly filmed music video with two of the most attractive people in Korea?" Taeyang replied. The interviewer seemed quite focused on his first statement, thinking to herself as Woojin let out a laugh.

"Jealous?" He asked, nudging the younger. Taeyang made an annoyed smile, pushing the older away.

"Maybe," Taeyang replied sing-songly, Woojin whispering back, "Of who?" 

The older received a small shove back, though the reporter didn't comment on the exchange. 

"Do you have any particular experience that was inspiration for writing the song?" she asked, seeming genuinely curious. Woojin let out a little laugh, replying, "Don't I always?" 

"Same girlfriend as last time?" the woman laughed, and Woojin caught on with the humor yet again. It seemed like the idol had been interviewed by this reporter multiple times before, seeming a lot more comfortable with the laid back journalist. 

"I said 'Bebe', not 'girlfriend', didn't I?" Woojin said, tilting his head with a hinting smile. They both laughed, Taeyang watching and smiling off to the side. 

"So you a risky boy~, huh?" she joked, a thought coming to her head. "Isn't there a line along the lines of 'Too early to say it's love...'?" 

Woojin smirked, singing lightly, "It might be too early to say it's love." 

There was a bit of filler chatter, Woojin seeming to have something on his mind. Once she glanced down at her notebook for another question he spoke up. 

"In all seriousness, the song is meant to be vague. It's not meant to be neccisarily a dating relationship, nor is it neccisarily an affair. It's not neccisarily in the point of view of a man; it's not neccisarily about a woman. It's all out there." he said, turning over the palms of his hands in an open gesture. 

"You're always all out there," she smiled, adding with an impressed tone, "That's what makes you unique."

She continued on only a few minutes longer, taking some more about some numbers that Taeyang doubted Woojin knew. He continued nodding, however, thanking some other people at the company that often worked with him on the album.
