Translation (LONG)
DJ: Xiumin-ssi, have you thought about DJ-ing? Have you imagined it before?
Xiumin: DJ-ing? Um...
DJ: Since we've only seen you on stage.
Xiumin: To be honest I'm not confident in doing it, but once I get a little older and some time passes, I think I might be able to.
DJ: Considering Call Me Baby's performed a chart all-kill, and have taken more than 10 trophies, you've done a lot of award acceptance speeches. But since Xiumin-ssi has never said a word before, from a fan's point of view, I'm sure they're waiting for you to say a few words.
Xiumin: Yes, that's right.
DJ: If there's something you wanted to say or haven't been able to say, since you're by yourself here, please give a speech.
Xiumin: Since we have a lot of members, we all have to keep it short. But once we try to go around to everyone, it takes up a lot of time, so we get cut off. Yes, so what I wanted to say was
Xiumin: Well, since Exo-L are always here, we Exo have been able to shine. And well, this is a bit of a new thing for a speech but, the auntie at our dorms who always makes sure we can live comfortably there.
DJ & Guest: Ooooh! It's a lady?
Xiumin: Yes. Since we've debuted 3 years ago, she's never missed a day and always comes to our dorms to help us. So I'd really like to thank her.
t/n: A lot of idols have a lady who comes to their dorms to do some housekeeping and or cook.
DJ: But honestly, I think the name 'Exo-L' is really well-thought out as a fanclub name. I think the last time we were here together, Exo still didn't have a fanclub name.
Xiumin: Mm... Yes, that's right.
DJ: And in that time, there were a lot of changes, and I also really thought hard about what Exo's fanclub name could be and searched up a lot of things.
Guest: You're a member there, aren't you Unnie?
(everyone laughs)
DJ: But really, the name Exo-L. It's ingenious. I was so surprised.
Xiumin: Mm, it means another Exo.
DJ: Yes, that's right! The ones between K and M.
DJ: Since Xiumin is the main feature today, we'll be keeping that in mind as we go along. So 21st century's baby face singer. 21st century's super baby face singer.
(everyone goes 'oooh')
DJ: We have to say 'super' because Xiumin, even though he's the mathyung, when you first see him he's baby faced to the point that a lot of people think he's the youngest. That's why we've decided to take this frame. Among the members, who else is there? A baby faced member. I've always thought D.O. is a very baby faced member.
Xiumin: Yes. D.O. is pretty baby faced.
DJ: He looks like a student. His style is like a student's too.
Xiumin: Among our member, everyone's...
DJ: Baby faced?
Xiumin: I can't really tell. I think they all fit their age.
DJ: Then Xiumin-ssi, when you hear that you're baby faced, when do you like it and when don't you like it?
Xiumin: Um... The good thing is, when I first meet people, they act very comfortably around me.
DJ: Oh, since they think you're very young!
Xiumin: Yes. So it's nice when I'm just chatting with them. A lot of people set up a very comfortable atmosphere for me because of that.
Xiumin: If I were to talk about the... disadvantages? If I were to talk about the bad points, um... I think there may be times when I look easy.
DJ: Ah, so they might ignore you or call you 'hey you!' and things like that, I see.
DJ: Then when you first met the members, wasn't there anything like that? When you're a trainee and you're practicing together without knowing each other's ages, there wasn't anyone who came up to you thinking you're an easy target?
Xiumin: Uh... Well at that time, I told them my age first. That I'm a 90 liner. When I said that, all of them were surprised. Like 'Whaaaat??'
DJ: Like 'you're that much older than us?'
Xiumin: Yes. They were like 'you're way older than us!'
(Xiumin introduced T-ara's Bo Peep Bo Peep while dancing to the choreo)
DJ: Oh my gosh, Xiumin's Bo Peep Bo Peep is really cute. Everyone needed to see this. The way he moved was like a cat! So cute. Cuteeee. Cuuuute.
Xiumin: I wasn't thinking about it, but my hands just moved like that on their own!
Guest: Cuteee~
DJ: You probably couldn't help it since it was dance and performance that captured the entire nation. You remember when they did this with the cat ear hairbands and gloves, right? I think Xiumin would really suit those if he did it.
Xiumin: (laughs)
DJ: Actually, if we were to ask if you're closer to a cat-like face or a dog-like face, you're more of a cat-like face aren't you Xiumin-ssi?
Xiumin: Yes! Cat-like face!
DJ: Yes, no matter how you look at it. Your eyes too. Has anyone ever said that you look similar to some animal before?
Xiumin: It seems like I look similar to a lot of different animals. I've heard I look like a racoon, hamster, desert fox... All different kinds.
Xiumin: The fans have compared a lot of pictures of animals with me, and honestly, I look similar to them.
DJ: Then which animal do you prefer [to be compared to]?
Xiumin: Uh... It's strange but I think I fit a hamster well. (laughs)
DJ: Xiumin-ssi, what songs do you sing when you go to karaoke? We're curious!
Xiumin: Uh well it's been a while since I've gone to karaoke!
Guest: When was the last time? When when?
Xiumin: Uuuuh... Almost 3...? Since I've debuted I haven't gone at all... I haven't been able to.
DJ: Then who did you go with during your trainee days?
Xiumin: I went with my friends, of course~
DJ: So you haven't gone with any of the members?
Xiumin: I think I've only gone to karaoke with the members once. Just once.
DJ: But you must have a favorite song, right? A song you always sing? Before you became Exo.
Xiumin: Uh... well I sang a lot of TVXQ sunbaenim's songs of course, since I like them.
DJ: Ah, yes, since you mentioned you like them a lot. But what songs did you sing? They're a little hard to sing by yourself, aren't they?
Xiumin: Haha, that's right. Well there was a friend who'd sing along with me, since he liked TVXQ too. Like Rising Sun. I would basically sing all the title songs, as a starter.
DJ: Then could you do the ending of Rising Sun for us? Where they scream 'RISING SUN~' like that.
(after much fanfare and cheering, Xiumin screams RISING SUUUUN like a true rocker and the noonas loved it)
DJ: If your face is swollen in the morning, do you have any special technique to take the swelling down? Like a massage or drinking something, anything like that?
Xiumin: ... No, I don't.. have anything like that.
DJ: Not at all? Then if your face is swollen, you just leave the house looking like that?
Xiumin: Well, since it's my fault that my face is swollen (laughs) I just accept it and leave the house with a swollen face.
DJ & Guest: Oh noooo~
Xiumin: (laughs)
DJ: Then if your face is swollen, are you the type to be careful the night before? Like not eating anything after a certain time, things like that?
Xiumin: Yes, if I have a schedule the next day then I pay attention, since I'm a celeb after all. Or, I wake up early. At the latest, I usually wake up around 3-4 hours before we have filming.
DJ: Wooow. Then are you one of the members who wake up early at the dorms?
Xiumin: Combining both our members and managers, I'm the one who wakes up the earliest.
Guest: Woow as expected of a mathyung. You have no flaws.
DJ: Woow. Then who wakes up the members? The leader or the maknaes?
Xiumin: Our manager hyungs.. (laughs)
DJ: Xiumin, if you could go on a 1-night 2-day vacation tomorrow, and you can only choose one member to go with you, who would you choose?
Xiumin: I can only choose one?
DJ: Just one.
Xiumin: Just one? I can't choose two?
DJ: Who do you want to pick if it's two members?
Xiumin: If it's two members, then our Chen and D.O.!
DJ: Oooh, and the reason why you chose them?
Xiumin: Um, both of them are very caring on all fronts, they have good preparation skills, and they're both very safe/reliable.
DJ: They're both the same age too, right? Then if you could only choose one, who's eliminated?
Xiumin: Um... Eliminated?
DJ: Or if you really needed to choose just one, who would you choose?
Xiumin: Um, well, if I really have to, then Chen!
DJ: Chen! I knew you'd choose him. As an M member, you've been around him a little more, right?
Xiumin: We live together now too, we're in the same dorm.
DJ: Then what's the arrangement of the dorms right now?
Xiumin: We've separated into different floors, so the ones living with me are... D-- I mean, Chen and Lay. The rest of them all live upstairs.
Guest: You're the man downstairs then?
Xiumin: Yes, I'm the man downstairs.
DJ: Then on the other hand, a member you don't want to go on vacation with? Because it's either hard on you or hard on him. A member you don't think you'll be able to go with.
Xiumin: I think, no matter how hard I think about it, our maknae Sehunnie?
(everyone laughs)
DJ: And the reason?
Xiumin: Pardon? Oh, um, I think because he's the youngest, he tends to whine/be picky. Yes~ That's right.
DJ: Ah, I see, and you're the mathyung so
Xiumin: Yes, if you go on vacation it's only right that you enjoy it. (laugh) ... I'd really like to enjoy it.
DJ: I'm wondering, since you're the mathyung, have you ever felt behind the times? Especially with members like Sehun or Kai.
Xiumin: Uh... Well there is one thing that makes me feel that way. That... when you talk, it's called abbreviations, isn't it? Yes, that. Sometimes when they use words like that there are times I don't understand what they're talking about.
DJ: HAHAHA what, no way!
Guest: Xiumin is still young too! Maybe you're just not hearing them right?
Xiumin: There's that too, but I feel like I do live in a way that makes me behind the times.
DJ: Really???
Guest: But you know what things like Um-Ka* means, right?
Xiumin: Huh? ...I know what M-Ka means? (t/n: He's talking about the abbrev for M Countdown)
(DJ & Guest going crazy because they can't believe he doesn't know what that is)
DJ: OH MY GOSH Xiumiiiiin, fans please send him all the abbreviations you know!
Xiumin: Um, what does Um-Ka mean?
DJ & Guest: Oh my gosh are you serious right now oh my god
Guest: Actually no, the fact that you don't use abbreviations makes you more cool.
DJ: That's true, it's actually not a good thing to use those words.
Xiumin: Can I try to guess what it means?
DJ & Guest: Yes yes please do
Xiumin: Um-ka... (small voice) Umma Kawaii? (t/n: "Mom's cute") Is it something like that?
DJ & Guest: Kyaaaaa Umma Kawaiiiii~~~
(everyone laughs)
Xiumin: What is it actually?
DJ: When you don't have money and someone asks you 'how did you buy this' you say 'Um-ka', as in 'Mom's credit card'.
Xiumin: Oooh! Mom's credit card! I see...
*t/n: To clarify, Um-ka = Umma Card = Mom's credit card. Xiumin thought the 'ka' was for 'kawaii' which is cute in Japanese.
DJ: (talks about Suho going to India with other idols, and asks if Xiumin has someone like that he'd like to go to another country with)
Xiumin: Uh... For me, it's only TVXQ.
DJ: Oooh! Then who in TVXQ?
Xiumin: For me, it's Changmin hyung. I want to get along with both of them though.
DJ: The reason then?
Xiumin: We've become more friendly since we've started exercising together, and he's someone I've been able to open up to.
DJ: What kind of exercises have you been doing together?
Xiumin: We've both been bodybuilding, and doing health training.
DJ: Have you been able to play soccer lately?
Xiumin: Ah, no... I really can't play soccer right now, there hasn't been enough time...
DJ: Oh, how disappointing... Many fans have seen pictures of you playing soccer as an elementary student, so that's regretful. So these days, you just keep fit.
Xiumin: That's right, when I have the time.
Guest: I'm not sure if it's because you've exercised recently, but compared to before, it seems like you've gotten more manly.
Xiumin: Oh, really?
DJ: Yes, I wonder if maybe you've gotten taller since then...?
Xiumin: Me?? I'm not at an age where I'd grow any more than this.
(everyone laughs)
DJ: I've heard that Changmin-ssi wasn't able to go to India this time, so I hope that in the future sometime Xiumin-ssi will be able to go with him.
(DJ & Guest talk about letting him travel with their own money)
Xiumin: Actually, this is why I made a promise with him. When we all have time, with Shinee's Minho, we'll go to Mount Fuji when we get the chance. Or we'll go to Hallasan.
DJ: But I think this is a good combo. Changmin, Xiumin, and Minho.
Xiumin: Yes, since they're all people who have a lot of fighting spirit.
DJ: Are you the type who dreams a lot? Or the type that dreams deeply?
Xiumin: Oh, me? Uuuuh, I used to have a lot of dreams about falling.
DJ: Oh that's the dream for when you're growing!*
Xiumin: So I thought I'd grow a lot, since I heard that if you have dreams about falling, you'll grow. But I didn't grow.
DJ: I guess the dreams shocked you too much.
Xiumin: (laughs) And I'm not the type who dreams a lot. I sleep really deeply, so.
DJ: That's a good thing. Is there any member who has sleep habits like they wake up often or dream a lot? And a member who sleeps well?
Xiumin: Most of our members sleep peacefully, but... who should I talk about?
DJ: There's probably a member who wakes up often right? Going to the washroom at all hours, etc.
Xiumin: No, actually. We're really We Are One when it comes to that. When we sleep, none of us wake up again until it's time to get up.
DJ: Then who sleep the fastest? Is it you, Xiumin-ssi?
Xiumin: Uh, well, I sleep when I'm sleepy. If I don't feel sleepy I'm the type to not even lie down.
*t/n: It's a Korean superstition that if you dream about falling, it means you're going to grow taller.
DJ: What are 3 wishes you have right now, Xiumin-ssi?
Xiumin: Right now?
DJ: Yes, maybe a wish as Exo or a personal wish.
Xiumin: If I had 3 wishes... Not too long ago, we announced that we'd do Dome concerts in Japan. That was one of my wishes.
(DJ & Guest congratulates him)
Xiumin: And uh... These ones might take a long time. Yes, uh, even 20 or 30 years later, I hope our families are healthy. I hope no one gets sick. And my 3rd wish is, our Sohyun noona and Hyunhee noona...* (laughs) Can I say this?
DJ: What what??
Xiumin: I... hope you meet good guys and get married. (laughs)
(Guest screaming in the bg)
DJ: I didn't think you'd say that, wow. Why did you use up your wish like that! (laughs) Why didn't you say a more realistic wish! (laughs) Thank you.
Xiumin: No, but really, I'm sure it'll happen. It will.
Guest: You didn't just loop me in with Sohyun unnie because I was here, right?
Xiumin: No, no. But like I said, I didn't specify a definite time (laughs)
DJ: (laughs) So that's why you said these ones might take a while! Please give us a definite date for this! Ah, really~
*t/n: The DJ's name is Park Sohyun, and the Guest's name is Hong Hyunhee.
DJ: Is there a hairstyle that you'd really like to try? Or among all the hairstyles that you've tried, is there one that you were disappointed with?
Xiumin: Um, well I didn't have any that I was disappointed with or didn't like. Um, but most recently, in our music video, when you look in our Call Me Baby MV I tied my hair up into an apple hairstyle.
DJ: Ah, yes, that one! The one where you tie your hair up! Do you like that one?
Xiumin: Yes, I think it's because I haven't tried it before, but I really like it.
DJ: It really suits you. That hairstyle that you did at the Athletics Championship too (t/n: she's talking about the heart ponytail), it's good that you're doing it now rather than when you're much older.
Xiumin: Yes, you should do these things when you can.
DJ: Is there a hairstyle you'd really like to try?
Xiumin: Uh... (laughs)
DJ: Have you maybe shaved your hair before? Or maybe grow your hair out?
Xiumin: Oh, actually I want to try growing my hair out! I haven't tried that before.
Guest: But don't you think he'll be so pretty if he does? I think he'll look like a pretty girl if he grows his hair out.
DJ: What do you think? Do you think it'd look good?
Xiumin: Uh... I think the fans will like it a lot. I've heard from the fans that they'd like to see me grow my hair out.
DJ: Wow, really? Please grow your hair out then!
Xiumin: Yes, I'm in the middle of steadily growing it out.
DJ: Is there an Exo member who lives and dies by their style? A member who maybe pays more attention than others, or pays attention to how others see them?
Xiumin: Uh, I think we all pay attention a little bit. But I guess among them... Chanyeollie? Sehunnie?
DJ: Oh, I see since they have good proportions and good visuals.
Xiumin: Yes, since they have good proportions, and they're quite modelesque. They pay a lot of attention to how they dress. And since they're tall, they stand out a lot.
DJ: Ah, I see, since they stand out even from far away.
Xiumin: Yes, so they accessorize and dress up more.
DJ: Then which member shops a lot for clothing and other things?
Xiumin: The member who shops well is... our Chen?
DJ: Does he still collect shoes?
Xiumin: Whew, yes, he's the same as always. His love for shoes, that is.
DJ: Then what's the reason he's good at shopping? Is he good at picking out things quickly?
Xiumin: Well, he doesn't buy expensive things. He picks out very... unique things. He's the type to find hard to find things at a reasonable price.
DJ: Then a member who doesn't shop at all, and is always sleeping or gaming?
Xiumin: Um... Well the one who doesn't pay attention to shopping is me.
DJ: This is you not paying attention? (t/n: As in she thinks he's well-dressed)
Xiumin: Yes, and rather than gaming, I'm the type to go exercise when I have time.
DJ: Your skin is so good, so if there's any special techniques you use like maybe drinking a lot of water, please tell us!
Xiumin: Oh, I'm really sorry, but I really don't have anything special that I do. I wear makeup often because of our schedules, so there are times I have skin troubles. If that happens, I just free up some time to go down to the dermatologist. Get rid of some acne, and things like that~
DJ: Then, you don't have any vitamins or nutrients you take regularly? No face cream you regularly use?
Xiumin: I just... exercise and drink water while I do. I think sweating might be the best thing.
Guest: But taking into account that you sweat a lot, I can hardly see your pores. Usually if you sweat a lot, your pores become very visible.
Xiumin: Yes, and in Exo I'm in charge of sweat.
DJ: Ah yes, you told us last time. But you're also sensitive to both the heat and the cold.
Xiumin: I can actually handle being hot, but I can't handle being cold.
DJ: Ah, then right now is perfect for your future activities.
Xiumin: Yes, I like summer better.
DJ: Since you've been exercising, you do have abs right now?
Xiumin: Well, actually, during our concerts in Korea, I revealed them very briefly.
Guest: Again, again. In the studio, here.
DJ: No, no, we can't.
Xiumin: But honestly, I'm not satisfied with my abs right now.
DJ: But why? Why? You revealed them while not satisfied with them?
Xiumin: Ah, yes. So... we're planning to do Dome tours, right? I'm planning on working hard until then, so without revealing them at all until then, I'll (makes a 'bam' sound) show them properly there.
DJ: Oh. Oh. Everyone, please look forward to them.
Xiumin: Omo, I ended up saying it here, oops. (laughs nervously)
Guest: But because you said it here people will look forward to it more!
DJ: Xiumin-ssi, do you have a dream home you'd like to live in maybe 30, 20 years from now?
Xiumin: (clears throat) I'd... like one where I can see the river (t/n: As in Han River). Somewhere high up.
DJ: So not one with a front yard or anything? I see. One where you can see Han River and it's high up. It's fine since this is just a dream home~
Xiumin: And the kitchen... well, I uh... Mm... When you look at bartenders, and where they make their drinks, the atmosphere is good, isn't it? So a place that would be nice to have a glass of wine in.
DJ: So you'd like to have a bar inside your home, I see~ Somewhere between your living room and kitchen.
Xiumin: Yes~
DJ: Actually so far, this is a very ordinary home. This is the kind of home that gets featured a lot in dramas.
Guest: So you've never thought about living out in the countryside?
Xiumin: Country living will be later, when I've gotten married and have kids~ After that, will be when I'd want to live in the countryside.
DJ: Then what about a certain area that you'd want to live in, outside of where your dorms are located now?
Xiumin: Mm, I like it now too. I like the area that our dorm is in. Since we can see the river from there~
DJ: It's already time to wrap up! Is there anything you didn't get to say?
Xiumin: Uh, things I want to say but didn't get to say... I never say them (laughs) I've never said those things.
DJ: Then if you're planning to go into dramas or want to do so...
Xiumin: Uh, since I've never had a chance to act in a drama or film, I'd like to try at least once. So if the opportunity arises, then yes, I'll work hard.
DJ: Which role are you confident you'll be able to do?
Xiumin: I, uh, well things like main characters I can't do. So I'd like to do cameo appearances here and there.
DJ: So no roles that you think will be especially easy for you?
Xiumin: ... I think I will be able to do anything. Yes, I could play the role of a child even~
DJ: Wow~ Is there a sunbae or hyung you'd really like to act with?
Xiumin: Ah~ Among actors, I like Janghyuk-ssi.
DJ: Wow, then it'd be like an action movie, wouldn't it?
Xiumin: Yes, I'd like to try a historical drama with him-- you know Chuno, right?
DJ & Guest: Of course we do~~~ (a lot of fangirling)
DJ: Well you've told us a lot of things today, and I hope they all come true. I think the fans will be really happy since you've talked a lot. We'll wrap things up with you saying something for the fans.
Xiumin: Ah, our Exo-L! For us Exo, you need to keep on shining. I love you.
Guest: Please tell us you love us too!
Xiumin: Sohyun noona, Hyunhee noona....... I love you!
DJ & Guest: KYAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~
