Q: How has your time been in Latin America?
Hwichan: I love it! I’m very happy to be able to learn new things and enjoy the region.
Xen: It’s my first time in Latin America, but I’ve always wanted to visit because I listen to a lot of Latin American songs. I’m very happy to come to the region with a great opportunity. I also felt a great level of passion from our fans and K-pop fans in general.
Kevin: It’s my first time in Latin America, and I’m really excited to visit the countries that were on my bucket list. Most of all, I’m happy to be surrounded by views and cultures that I can’t witness in Korea.
Q: I know that some of you have been to the U.S. before. What are some of your memories?
Yechan: When I was a trainee, I went to Los Angeles for about a month to learn dancing. I visited famous dance academies, including Millennium Dance Complex, and made a lot of good memories around Venice Beach and downtown L.A. I would love to visit again because I enjoyed the city’s all-time amazing weather. I think I can learn and understand more if I visit now than I did when I was younger.
Sebin: I was in Dallas for a concert and I still remember a steakhouse in Dallas. Everything was so good and the restaurant was like a factory! I stuffed myself there.
Q: Are you nervous about touring when COVID-19 is still a very real worry?
Hyuk: I’m very happy to meet our international fans, but it would be a lie if I say I’m not concerned about COVID-19 at all. But it makes me happy to meet our fans, even if it means constant sanitizing (our hands) and wearing masks.
