Host: Did you think you stood a chance? A chance to be picked.Hankyung: I didn't really think about it.Host: you didn't even think about it and yet you joined! It can't be true.Hankyung: it's true! At that time, I just accompanied a friend there to try our luck. To see if we would get chosen to become a singer, dancer or an actor.Host: Was your friend the one who dragged you there with him?Hankyung: Yes.Host: Ah you see! it's another old-fashioned story (she meant frequently used if i'm not wrong). always the FRIEND.Hankyung: *Laughs* Host: how come it's always the friend who gets the one eventually picked to go?Hankyung: *Starts to explain but host cuts in*Host: Wait let me guess - your friend didn't get chosen in the end?Hankyung: nope, my friend didn't get chosen. *laughs*Host: and YOU got chosen?Hankyung: *still laughing* yes.Host: Were all the judges at the audition korean?Hankyung: yupHost: Could you feel how they felt about you? Like, satisfaction?Hankyung: I didn't have any feelings. it was just like any auditon. they asked me to dance so I did. then they asked me to dance again so i did. after that, they told me they were gonna put on random music and told me to dance again so i said, "okay, i'll dance again". then they told me to sing and i was thinking, "sing?" because i was taught how to dance from young. never really done any singing before. so i was wondering, "what do i do?" finally, i said, "I'll sing yue liang dai biao wo de xin" (A really old chinese song, The moon represents my heart, that most chinese people are familiar with)Host: Really?Hankyung: yes!Host: *teasingly* did you sing it well? *Hankyung laughs while the audiences chorus: YES!*Hankyung: *stops laughing* I think it was...not good. -Studio erupts in laughter again-Oh yes, the host also asked Hankyung's manager the reasons why Hankyung was chosen and he said there were four main points: Manager: First of all, his singing wasn't bad. *Laughs* The second reason is because his dancing was already good and he had a pretty good foundation for it. the third point is because...he's very good looking. ^^ and the last point is because of his character/personality. at that time, we could somehow feel that Hankyung was a very kind and good-hearted person and his personality was not bad.Host: How could you tell his personality then?Manager: Just by talking to him, we could sense it. We've witness loads of other auditions so we somehow know.Host: Oh so he seemed like a very loyal child, am i right?Manager: yes he was just, different from the rest. he gave us the impression that he was very nice, didn't put up an arrogant front and did not carry any certain 'air' around him (the kind of proud airs some kinda people have). all these qualities are what our company looks out for in our artistes and hence, we decided on choosing him in the end. Host: Okay. I bet Hankyung didn't know he had so many good points then! Hankyung: he has never told me all that before!
