Celebrity Travel: Go Away With I.M of Monsta X
A. It's not a big problem. The pronunciation is the biggest part, because it can change the rhythm and rhyme. I am getting more comfortable, though, since I am writing more lyrics in English and am more used to it.
Q. Would you say that you pick up new languages relatively easily?
A. No! (Laughs) New languages are very difficult, but I'm trying to do my best. I really want to show my appreciation to all our fans and show them that we're thankful for their support. I just really want to communicate with them. These days, I'm trying to learn some more Japanese, because we have a lot of Japanese Monbebes (the name for Monsta X fans).
Q. How much opportunity is there to go sightseeing when you're on tour?
A. It depends, but when we have the chance, we love to go sightseeing! If we have time, we like to experience new stuff with our travels. For instance in Chicago, of course, we had the pizza. It was deep-dish pizza and very good. It was heavier than what we have in Korea, but I think it has its own traditional taste that is very delicious.
Q. When something unexpected happens during your travels, what's the best way to handle it?
A. You just do your best. Do you know that I lost my wallet in Chicago? I'm not sure how I did that. (Laughs)
Q. What was the first concert you performed outside of South Korea?
A. It was Hong Kong. I will always remember it because it was the first one and it was very fun for us. We were very excited to show what we could do. It was our first stop of our world tour and we tried very hard to be really good for our fans.
Q. You said that returning to Boston is on your travel bucket list. Where else would you like to visit?
